How De Brazza Overcame the Objections
of an African Tribe.
No one who has ever seen De Br aZZa on
his travels. said Stecklemann, could fail to
recognize that he was born to be an ex-
plorer. l shall never forget the time | met
him far up the XVIII River. One day l
came to a tribe that seldom Saw white men.
They were not very hospitable, but finally
decided to sell me food. | got on rather
friendly terms with them. and they allowed
me 10 camp in the village. Suddenly, l OBJ
served a commOtiOn among the natives. A
few carriers emerged from the forest and
with them was slender, SAD faced, poorly
clad white man. He was the Governor of
the French Congo, and he was off on one of
his long tramps. De Brazza approached the
natives and asked them for food.
Ne" they said gruffiy, you can't get
any food here We have one white man
here already. You had better go On your
way"
The explorer said nothing. BE simply or
dered his carriers 10 lay down their loads in
the middle of the village, Then one of his
men unpacked the astronomical and other
instruments, and the explorer set about
making observations for position and alti-
tudo. The StrangeSt sight the natives ever
saw was this white man studying his in
Struments and figuring away on a bit of pa
per. Iney concluded tnat lie was not per-
son to be tri1ed with, and that his theodo-
lite was a powerful fetch. Soon crowd
gathered around, but the explorer frightened
them away By his gruff manner and impa-
tient gestures.
Get away from me. Clear out. Don't
you see Pm busy2 Let me alone!" he said.
AT length he finished his work. Some ma
tives had been cooking their evening meal
near by. Their meat and vegetables which
had been boiling in pot were ready, and
the group gathered around and began TO eat.
De BraZza arose. took a tin-plate and large
spoon, quietly walked MP to the pot helped
himself literally without saying word to
anybody, sat down by tree and RECALLED
himself with native cookery. He knew Just
what effect his actions had produced upon
the native mind and just what to do. Then
he told the villagers his men were hungry
and must be fed. The natives gave them all
they could eat, for who dare oppose great

in the village that night, and next morning
he paid the natives we'll for what they had

Bob McHale, a member of last years Sac

played third base for the Gardeners and
played it very well at that. He accepted
five difficult chances and hit the ball every

grounds and did fine work. Five hits
were made off him, two of them being
scratches. He had fine control and repeat

Since the death Of her husband a few
years ago, Mrs. Stoves life has been one of
retirement. She withdrew entirely from

has made itself manifest of late by loss of

makes itself manifest. She has the same
keen sense of enjoyment in the society of
her friends to-day that she ever had.
