Washington. D. C.. Feb. il.—Hill

! William Wingate Sewall of Island
I Falls, Me., the old Maine guide, who
j ha« piloted President Roosevelt on sn
I many expeditions in the nort h woods
.and who found him on the mountain
top when he was so badly wanted at
j the death of President McKInlev- was
i telling about his visit to his old friend,
President Roosevelt.
I "Hil'" was in Washington on a spec-
ial invitation extended by the presi-
dent last summer. He brought with
him his wife, his daughter, Miss Lit
jcretla Sewall. his son, Fred, and his in-
Itimate friends and neighbors, Fleet-
wood Pride, Mrs. T. A. Pride. Wiimot
E. Pride and Charles Dows. They are
so unostentatous that the people are
Just finding out that they are here.
I "What do I think of Washington?"
'said "Hill." "Well. I will have to get
'home and quietly think it over. Mr.
Roosevelt likes to got out with a gun.
I knew him when he was stooped
1 shouldered, peeky boy of IK, and he
always liked to go out with a gun, but

hint to wait long enough."
"Did the president keep the horns?"
'Bill" was asked.
"it didn't have no horns," he said, i
"It was nothin' but a fawn. Maybe lie's
got the skin; but if didn't have no
horns. When he said he would sooner j
go lishing than in society I told him |
that, waa not so, because lie couldn't,
wait long enough. Hut Mr. Theodore)
said, sort of queer like, "Hill, I have !
learned to wait since those days.' And, j
say, don't you know. I think the presi- I
dent don't half enjoy himself like he;
used to with us.
"The neighbors are just waitin' for
us to get homo and tell them all about I
it, but 1 don't think 1 can tell them
I anything until I have thought about it. 1

homo and be fresh, but every night
here I am just played out, and there
ain't 110 hills to climb at that. These
cities make things different.
' "I told the president when he first j
look me through the white house. 'Mr. j
Theodore, this here's the flnest camp
you ever was in. ain't it'.' Hut I don't ;
know about that now, and I don't bo-'

HON' W. E. STANLEY.
: The Dawes commission is tailed in
i 1 he Indian Territory where its opera-
tions are mostly confined, the "circum-
locution bunch." It has bee n in exis-
tence there for ten years and the work
(that was mapped out for it is not hall
! accomplished. While Senator Long
1 may have given Mr. Stanley assurance
i that the job Is good for six more years
it looks to some of the people who
have been walling for its labors to be
I wound up as If the place was a life-
time job.
The appointment of Mr. Stanley may
have a tendency to accelerate the work
j there as he is a man of action. The
I place Is a good one and the labors arc
! light The headquarters of the board
j are in Muskogee but Senator Dawes
| has not boon in Indian Territory for
several years although nominally
chairman of the board.
The Kansas contingent In the Indian
Territory Is constantly growing. There
is Judge Gill nnd Pliny Soper of the
northern district nnd any number of
commissioners and lesser lights of the
government service.
