Natives Were Not Favorably Impressed
With Its Chilling Touch
The natives of tropical countries are
seldom so much astonished as they are
when first introduced to snow and ice.
While the Worlds fair was in prog
Yess joke was played upon two men,
beTs of Zulu band which was greatly
enjoyed and appreciated by all present
except the Zulus themselves.
The manager of their tribe, whom I
knew intimately, knowing that none of
the Zulus had ever seen any ice, thought
is would be great fun to see how they
would act when brought in contact
with it. He accordingly told two of
them that he wished them to go down
town with him.
lie informed me what he was going
to DO and invited me toaccompany him,
which / did. We stopped at the Office
of one of the large breweries, and, after
explaining our erran6, were readily
granted permission to go through the
icehouse.
On arriving at the door of the ice
house we all entered, the Zulus, who
were barefooted, following close be-
hind. All along the walls inside great
cakes of ice were piled.
Ny friend, the manager, climbed up
on top of the cakes and told the Zulus
to follow him. They obeyed. When
the cold chill OF the ice first struck
their bare feet they didn't know what
TO make of it.
They looked at one another for min
ute and jabbered something in their
outlandish tongue. They stood it for
about minute; then giving vent to a
yell, they sprang to the ground End,
rushing to the door, threw themselves
on the ground outside, where they lay
writhing about, nursing their feet and
insisting that they had been severely
burned.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat
