Robert Foran, newspaper cor

Theodore Roosevelt expedition
into Africa in 1909. They ar
rive at Mombatea, tha "gate
way of Britieh East Africa,”
and then make the railroad
journey to their first camp on
tha gamocrowded Kapiti Plains
288 miles from the coaet. With
Colonel Roosevelt are his son,
Kermit, end three scientific
members of his staff—Maor A.
Meerne, Edmund Heller and J.
Allen Loring.
Incredible good luck comes to
the rifle* of Colonel Roosevelt
and Kermit during the first two
week* of their eoourn. At Nai
l-obi a recaption is oiven in
honor of Colonel Roosevelt by
Sir Frederick Jack.on, the act

and Kermit are mingling with
th. guest*, Foran goes to look
for the three naturali.te.

not. They never allowed any op

notes of birds who had been awak
ened by the military band. Heller
and Lorlng were Intently engaged
upon catching some of the many
liuta which flitted hither and thither
In the monllt ground of Govern
ment House. The regulation even
ing clothes of civilization made
their efforts appear somewhat In
congruous. perhaps; but neither!
scientist appeared to be uwure of
the fact. J
On another night, the Roosevelt's'
accompanied the Government House
party to an amateur performance,
the "Nairobi Pollies," In the Hall
way Institute In the center of the
town. The program consisted of
two parts—the first, a minstrel en
tertainment with topical songs, all
written by local officials of the
government, with many humorous
allusions to the guest of honor; and
the second, a playlet entitled "Blue
beard in East Africa," which had
been written by local dramatists.
Theodore Roosevelt's hearty laugh
was frequently heard well above
that of the remainder of the audi
ence. and he appeared particular
ly to enoy the many topical songs
that related to himself.
Two of the songs are well worth
reproducing. The words were writ
ten by llenumln Eastwood, the chief
auditor of the Uganda Railway. In
conjunction with A. 1. Madlon, the
chief secretary of the government.
The first one to evoke Theodoro
Roosevelt's laughter, was sung to
the tune of "A Gray Tom-tlt" from
the "Geisha" and was entitled
"Fells Leo." The words were as
follows:
A lion lurked In his londly lair,
A» Africans lions do.
For ho liked to ho where he could
aet n share
Of a nice little buck, with a stroke
of luck,
In our wonderful nature's soo.
His large Inside he mighty fed with
sebrn or harteheeste Instead.
"There Isn't a scrap of doubt," said
he.
"This diet's exceedingly good for
me,
"For 1 grow fat, fst fatter.
"What on earth doea It mat, mat,
matter,
"If the way that I creep on the
beasts In thetr sleep,
"Makes the poor things scat, scat,
scatter"?
He hunted game In the moonlight
bright.
With never a thought of harm:
Hut he got quite a fright, when
they hove In eight
Teddy armed to the teeth with a
knife and (heath.
And a rifle beneath his arm.
The Colonel plugged him with a
laugh,
While Kerrnlt took hta photograph.
Said he, "These Wall Street boy a
would try—
"lf thev knew now near I'd been to
die.
"Oh. this eountrv'e bull bull, bully!
"I've enoyed It full. full, fully,
"For It euchres the best they can
show tn the west,
"That's so wild and wool, wool,
woolly 1 “
Another topical song that evening
had reference to the general com
ment locally at the well-aired dis
appointment of eome visiting
members of the American presa at
not having been able to accom
pany Roosevelt on thetr bunting
trips.
This particular song was entitled
"B. E. A. (with apologies to Rud
vard Kipling;" and waa rendered
to the tune of "Mandalay." The
words of the chorus follow:
Yea he shut out all the press
And he left them there to guess.
They raved, and growsed, and
grumbled,
They wer 0 left In such a mess.
But that’s nil pased nnd done with,
For they were not far away;
And their news is scattered broad
cast
Over all the world today.
Ktlll he sent In news one Tuesday—
It Is nlr* to ho polite—
But the New York papers had It
On the previous Sunday night.
Oh! It really was a frost.
And one finds It to one’s coat
If one tries to balk the press-men,
One Is very often lost!
This song was ns murh enjoyed
by the Roosevelts ns It was by the
newspaper men present.
The Roosevelts, father and son,
were the guests of the governor for
the lirst three days while in Ualrobi
and then they moved over to Mc-
Millan's town house to oin the three
naturalists and ‘‘R. J." It was a
tine stone building standing in ex
tensive and pretty grounds. It was
most comfortably furnished, and
provided exceptionally roomy quar
ters for all of the party.
In betwen the social rounds of
gaiety, Colonel Roosovelt worked
industriously on his book about his
adventures nnd was able, In the
peace of rural I’arklands —the grow
ing suburb of Nairobi—to bring up
to date nil his articles, which task
would have been a physical Im
possibility while on safari.
Frequently during those crowded
days, 1 was invited to lunch or dine
with the Roosevelts, and the gen
eral topic of conversation was al
ways concerned with the game of
East Africa or the Immense future
possibilities of the country.
One evening, after dinner, Theo
dor© Roosevelt was discussing with
lllnde, the commissioner of tha
Ukaraa province, the all-important
question of immigration to East
Africa.
“I llrmly believe In the future of
this great country for European set
tlement,” nsserted Roosevelt, with
marked emphasis. "You have re
gions that are best suited to the
requlments of white men; others
that are only suitable for Indians
and Africans. It Is n matter pure
ly of ellinatlo conditions. In some
areas the white can live and settle

permanently, as In our own west;
but In others—eapoclall ythe coas
tal regions—the climate Is such that
only natives of India or Africa can
hope to survive."
"The government of Kast Africa
has set apart the highland belt for
white settlement ever since they
commenced to Invite Europeans to
settle here. In 1903." said Hinde.
"And that Is a very wise policy,”
exclaimed Roosevelt, as he gave
point to his assertion with a thump
of hla fist on the table. "There can
be no possible question about Us
w isdom. Every possible encourage
ment should be offered to Euro
peans to come out here, take up
the land and develop It- Ne»-
white ahould be encouraged equally,
but not to settle where there Is
any poslbillty for them to come tnto
open rivalry with the Europeans."
On the afternon of Sunday. May
SO. Colonel Roosevelt took Kermit
Dawson and myself out to visit the
Homan Catholic mission at Kikuyu.
It Is conducted by the French
fathers, and ta situated some three
miles outside of rarklands, suburb
of Nairobi.
We spent a very Interesting hour
or so at the mission, and were taken
all over the estate and buildings by
the good fathers In charge. There
was a convent school attached to
the mission, and Colonel Roosevelt
appeared to be much ltnerested In
tlie fact that amongst the pupil*—
who were the children of Euro
pean *euler»—wer* a few Parsl

children. They were the only ex
ception to the rule that It was a
school for European children only.
The mission also owned a splendid
coffee estate —they had been the
pioneers In coffee-growing In East
Africa—the trees of which were
most prolific in their yield of
berries. ~
As we drove back to Nairobi In
the cool of the evening, I asked
Colonel Roosevelt what had been
his Impressions.
"1 must confess to great admira
tion for the work of all missions In
Africa,” he said, with conviction in
his tones. “There Is something
very fine In the manner they all
quietly and unobstrusively go to
work, without pressing their con
victions and religion too persistent
ly upon the natives of the country
In which they labor.
‘1 like to see them teaching the
natives useful arts and crafts, such
as we have Just witnessed. Even
tually the natives will realize that
these missionaries are wise and
good people; and then they will
he ready to follow them. Their
progress must, be slow; but if It
Is slow, It is also sure. That is the
most lasting form of progress.”
CHAPTER VI
Pioneers of Two Continents
We had left Nairobi at mld-dav
on June 2nd by special train for
Kilabe, from whence the Roose
velts would start forth on their
first nrolonged safari into the yiltls
of Africa. We arrived at our desti
nation Just before sunset.

Yanks In Tie For Lead
As Tigers Beat Senators
EW YORK. —The
Yanks and the
Giants, defendants
in baseball’s trojan
war, enjoy the
smiles of the
watc hi ng Gods
Tuesday In their
efforts to retain
the game's fairest
prize, the world's
series, cap tured
and carried here
three seasons hack.
Forced from their
position by Wash
ington, the raging
Achilles of the combat, the Yanks
took the field after being informed
by the oracle that the team which
lost the fewest games would win the
battle, ijugglns. carefully following
the advice. Monday went Into a tie
with Washington for first place by
winning from Chicago 2 to 0.
The Senators, vulnerable only In
Detroit, It seems, lost the second
consecutive game to the Tigers who
made a clear gain of one contest
and are now only four games behond
the two leaders. The score was
two to nothing.
At the National League gate the
Giants face a double problem—the
Robins who strike from within and

The advancing Buccaneers com
pleted their sack of Boston Monday
by winning the third straight game 4
to 3, in 12 innings and will advance
upon this baseball metropolis through
| Philadelphia, Pittsburg gaining a half
game on both, now trails the Robins
by one and one-half games and the
Giants by two and one-half. They
have 16 games to play, New York has
13 and Brooklyn 11.
The deciding battles Monday with
the contending teams concentrating
upon every pitched ball were closely
fought. The grim Yank veterans,
taking advantage of previous experi
ence, converted two bases on balls
Into the runs necessary to win from
Chicago and won the victory on four
hits. Dugan’s fielding and Jones’
Pitching prevented the White Sox
frdm tying on two occasions.
Washington lost Its precious one
game lead through Inability to hit
"Rip” Collins who pitched a four-hit
game as the Tigers applied sufficient
pressure to Mogridge to win. Babe
Adams, world's series hero of 15
years ago, who has comeback from
the baseball grave to steady his
youthful mates in their splendid chal
lenge, left the game at Boston for a
plnch-hJtter in the setenth Inning
and Morrison retained the advantage
scored by Pirate bats in that frame
and the twelfth.
The Browns defeated the Red Sox
4 to 3 In the only game played among
the distanced clubs in both leagues.
Hats off to ’em—they deserve it!
THE first men in all history to
