II. r. McGarvie. the man who had the

returned from the Southern Republic with

queer little people.
He became deeply interested.
In my fifteen years experience as a
Snowman said Mr. McGarvie. who halls
from New York. Il have learned to look for
the unusual. not alone from A business. point
of view. but for the qualification of my own
curiosity.
Having learned just where to find these
people. l went on my way. inquiring OF the
natives as 1 proceeded.
AT last l arrived in a little valley where
there were perhaps fifty Indian adobe
houses.
Here / learned that the pygmies resided
in the neighborhOed. and. after some little
trouble. located the hut OF a family of the
very smallest people l had ever seen.
Il was told that there We're a number of
others in the valley. but this family suited
my purpose. which was to photograph them
for my scrapbook.
The family consisted of five members
and as near as l could make out they were
a mixture OF the various Indian tribes Of
the coast.
Whether they sprang from a race of
midsetS or were mercy stunted in their
growth 1 could not accurately determine.
but 1 incline to the former belief, on ac-
count of the great number OF them said to
live in the surrounding country.
They spoke a patois of Spanish, so that
1 could understand them with little diff
Guilty.
Their house was of the ordinary type
of adobe. and they. like the other natives, |
supported themselves by raising chickens
ard cultivating beans and other yegeta bIes.
