MOUNTS HIS
FIRST CAMEL
Gilson Gardner By Letter From
Khartoum Tells About It ।
With Atmosphere.
HE NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE
Looked Like Ex-President Had
Escaped Jungle Dangers to
Be Killed By “Desert Ssip.”
By Gilson Gardner.
(Copyright, 1910, Newspaper Enterprise l
Association.)
Khartum, Anglo Egyptian Sudan, ।
March 15.—Gentle reader, the office has I
cabled me for “atmosphere”—the at
mosphere” of Col. Roosevelt’s sur-1
roundings and activities, “by letter,”
“daily.”
So that’s why. Tomorrow there will I
be more atmosphere. At 6a. m. “the 1
colonel” has arranged a “breakfast ” I
across the river. Of course, a corrc-1
spondent must tag along to see that the !
colonel does not fall off a donkey or .
otherwise make news. No matter what j
the nature of the casualty, the corrc- j
spondent must be on the job. At 6 a
m. tomorrow. Our breakfast at 5.
So at midnight we will set down a;
few notes on the “atmospheie” of to
day’s doings.
You remember how the kitchen stove !
looks on ironing day! Well, such was !
the atmosphere! It was like the trem- |
bling, heated air over the stove, only it
was trembling over the flat, heated
desert land. Off to the left as we start
ed, from the iniint where we piled out
of the two launches and clambered
aboard the camels and donkeys, you
could see blue water with reflected j
trees and cool shrubbery—only there,
was no water. It was a mirage.
Into that atmosphere we plunged.
“We” were Col. Roosevelt (a dieting
uished gentleman from America), .urs.
Roosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt, Miss
Roosevelt, young Prince Auersperg of
Austria (attentive to Miss Roosevelt),
our hostess, Mrs. Asser (wife of acting
Governor General Asser). Slatin Pa
shaw. a lot of British army officers in
kham. a lot of picturesque Bedouins of
the desert, some camels, some horses,
-oine donkeys, some donkey boys, some
newspaper correspondents, some popu
lation (black), and a yellow dog.
The kitchen stove atmosphere was i
soon converted into a brownish Color,
by the dust of the advancing caravan. |
’Ine wind whirled it aloft, and it was
breathed into the lungs and settled in
the eyes. What was left floated away j
and presumably settled again in some
other quarter of the earth.
Wnat was it all about! Oh, yes; Col
Roosevelt was being shown the site of
the battle of Omdurmau. Of course ev
erybody knows that this was fought
about i898, and that it was the termin
ation of tne kahnia s power and the
beginning of British rule in the Sudan.
And of course everybody knows that
Omdnnnan is really the native capital
of Africa, and that Khartum is just
across the river. Perhaps everybody
knows that Omdurman contains 60.000
native population, aud that the battle
field is a few miles up the river.
So that is settled. We can now turn
to Col. Roosevelt and the camel. Of
course the colonel rode a camel. (It
was his first.) So did Mrs. and Miss
and Kermit Roosevelt ride camels.
Did you ever see an ex-president
mount a camel! Oh. for the moving
picture apparatus and some uninvented
phonograph that would picture the
sounds!
When a camel is asked to get down
.on its knees, or to get up from its
knees, the way it carries on would raise
up a Society’ for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals in a Siberian exile
station. And Roosevelt's camel made
| carrying on a specialty. The unlovely
, beast twisted round its long, ungainly
' neck, opened out its floppy lower lip
i and began. Gurgle, roar, growl! Bray,
whine, sputter! Groan, grunt, snort and
gnash! its teeth ground and crunched.
There was no form oi phoneti ideous
ness that the anima] did not emit. From
its lips came pink bubbles. Its eyes
roiled, aud to the casual and unitiated
onlooker it seemed to give every evi
dence of violent insanity and imminent
dissolution.
“What’s the matter, old boy!” in
quired the ex president. Never heard
sounds like that, not even in East Af
rica.”
“’Iue horrid beast,” said Mrs. Roose
velt, whose camel was doing likewise.
“I really think perhaps 1 'd better have
a donkey.”
But they didn’t.
And the joke of it all was that these
camels were really wonderfully well be
haved. It is simply that camels do that,
if they didn't, they wouldn t be cam
els. You see, 1 have been out here a
long time (ten days), and -ave learned ।
about camels and things.
So then the creature unhinged him
self. The Arab said. “Hoosh!" (an*
Arab says that when it is “get’down.”
“got up.” or “stop") and our dis
tinguished ex-president lurched forward. ।
For a moment it looked as if the mighty >
hunter had escaped the charging rhm<> 1
and the angry elephant, only to break
his neck over the front end of a fSolish ’
camel. But he gripped the pummel and |
clung for dear life. Then the forelegs'
were unlinibercd, and the rider was cat I
apulted in the opposite .ection. Again
it seemed as if Scylla had been evaded j
only to be wrecked over the Charybdis ।
of the camel’s tail. “Whoosh! roar
ed the Arab. “Xyz!” swore the drome
dary. Then, hippy hop. a whirl, and a 1
lurch, and the world got Hat again, |
aud an expert faunal naturalist snmed
into the cameras and said, “Delight
ful.”
It is violating no confidence to say |
that Mrs. Roosevelt does not use camel ।
riding. It is not so much the motion as]
the no : se. e says sue is made to feel ।
A Summer Shirtwaist Exposition
That Will Be a Delight to Every Visitor
Something like .tOOO new Shirtwaists are being exhibited at the W. be M. Store. And the gathering must, perforce, appeal
to every woman within the circle of our sphere. The showing is notable not so much for quantity as for variety—and for
elegance of finishing and trimming. There is something eminently refreshing in the atmosphere of such delightfully
charming Summer Shirtwaists—something that infuses enthusiasm,and quickly brings one to the conclusion that now is buy
ing time. During the whole Carnival week these Shirtwaists will be one ofcenters of attraction at the W. &M. Store. We add a few words of detail:
W. M. Specia.1 Feature Shoes for Women
The greatest possible foot comfort for women who are not able to wear shoe* on reg
ular lasts is provided by the W. & M. assortment of specially constructed ’shoes. These are made
for us by a ipannfacturer who makes a particular study of them, ami we know of no stock that
so fully answers sueh diverse requirements of the foot. All of soft kid skin, the easiest leather
for sensitive feet to wear. As an example: Here is a combination that gives comfort and spirit
to low insteps. Women who find the average shoe uncomfortably tight at the arhle enjoy
these wide-ankle shoes, while a special commonsense shoe with plain toes is liked by elderly wo
men. And in our regular stock we have the best selection of the most dainty and fastidious
styles, for the “swell” dresser, ever shown in Texas—the peerless “Patrician.” the comforta
ble “Red Cross” and Wright & Peters’ lines.

When you note the width, 40 inches, ami the fine quality, this material is a remarkably
good value at the regular price, 29c. But we closed out the mill’s supply at a price that
makes it the greatest possible value offering at 21c yard.
For tailored Suits, Auto Coats, Traveling Dresses and separate Skirts, there is no other
material that so admirably “fills the bill.” It is woven like linen—finished like linen—looks
like linen—and will wear almost like linen. All the latest spring shades. We have an im

as if she were persona non grata to the
camel, and not caring to go where not
wanted, she will choose in future he!
old friend the horse. And, on ordinary
occasions. this rule will be followed by
our ex-president. This announcement
may be regarded as authoritative.
On! On! Over the boundless (more
or least wastes! Pattering donkeys,
lolloping dromedaries, galloping Arab
steeds! Blue veils and light pongee
fluttering and clinging in tne stiff north
breeze! “Arrk!” shout the donkey
boys. “Whoa!” can the horsemen.
And the air is ruled with the calls and
clatter of the native polyglot.
It was my lot to draw a collapsible
donkey. Of course, it's not far to fall
over a stumbling donkey’s head, but if
you are trying to save the open camera
in your left hand, it is difficult to do a
graceful fail. And it is a peculiar fee!
ing which you have as you go down,
and sec the approaching camel from
below. It suggests a lady mounted on
ah animated Eiffel tower. Never have
1 seen a president’s daughter from a
less advantageous point of view.
But the camera was not hurt, and I
I can fall much better now. The best
i wav is to wait until the donkey’s fore
I head, is flat upon the sand, and then
I roll gently down his neck. And it is
! also good form to join the donkey driver
'in his eager alligation (his only Eng
lish): “Good donkey! Donkey verra
fine!''
And when we got where we were go
ing, there was a monument with an iron
fence around it marking a spot where
somebody fell. And then we all climb
• ed a volcanic hill and looked out on Hie
flat plain where the Der *-ah troops had
formed ia semicircle to receive the
charge of Kitchener’s 20.000 n en. Here
MacDonald changed his front and re
pulsed the charging horsemen of the
' maiidi: off there they fled. The killed
I were 10,000, the wounded many more.
The rest tied, and the Sudan was re
