DE BRAZZA i'm AFRICA.
An Explorer Who Knew How to Work the
Natives of Africa.

An Explorer Who Knew How to Work the
Natives of Africa.
No one who has ever seen De Brazza
on his travels, said Stecklemann, could
fail to recognize that he was born to be
an explorer. I shall never forget the
time / met him far up the XVIII river.
One day [ came to 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 to camp
In the village. Suddenly l observed a
consmotion among the natives. A few
carriers emerged from the forest, and
with them was a 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.
NO" they said grufiy, ''yo1 can't
get any food here. We have Que white
man here already. You had better go on
your way"
''The explorer said nothing. He
simply ordered his carriers to lay down
their loads in the middle of the village.
Then one of his men unpacked the as
Economical and other instruments, and
the explorer set about making obserya-
tions for position and altitude. The
strangest sight the natives ever saw
was this white man studying his in
struments and figuring away on a bit
of paper. They concluded that he was
not person to be trifled with, and that
his theodolite was powerful fetch.
Soon a crowd gathered around, but the
explorer frightened them away by his
gruf manner and impatient gestures.
"'Get away from me. Clear out.
Don't you see I'm busy? Let me aloner
he said
cat length he finished his work.
Some natives had been cooking their
evening meal near by. Their meat and
vegetables which had been boiling in a
pot were ready, and the group gathered
around and began to eat. De Brazza
arose, took ain plate and large spoon,
quietly walked up 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 vii
layers his men were hungry and must
be fed. The natives gave them all they
could eat, for who dare oppose great
medicine man who carried such re,
markable fetch as a theodolite? De
Brazza slept in the village that night
and next morning he paid the natives
well for 0ellat they had given him, and
took his departure. Chicago Mail.
