of pygmy party refused to partake of the proposed feast of dog. This was the reason the little dog was per mitted to live,'' said Otenbang, and then, after two days, we became so fond of him I decided 1t would be a pity to kill him, and I shall take him home with me to the Philip pines. Besides, like the American food better.
 It was said that the reason the Igor rotes had abandoned the dog eating habit was because of action taken by the Humane Society tu prevent the habit. But the little Igorrotes igor theid dog feasts by any outsider. They say they no longer care for dog so long as their present diet of rice and beef prevails as the official bill of fare.
 It Is said that the recent visit of Colonel Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, to the Filipino camp is responsible for the change. inasmuch as he had made the daily menu furnished the Igorrotes so attractive as to discourage the dog eating habit.
 As result of the change the dog market has slumped SO badly that the old man who made fl business to provide dogs for the little savages have been compelled. on account of the decreased demand to look else where for business. as the prices are so low that they could not afford to even pay car fare to the exposition grounds.

St. Louis Republic.
 The cannibals and the dog eaters of the Worlds Fair have reformfd.
 Coming to the exposition has work ed a reformation in the habits and appetites of the dog eating Igorrotes and the cannibalistic pygmies.
 No longer is the cry for dog heard on the Filipino reservation. The ht- tie Igorrotes are content with an American beef diet. Otenbang, the little cannibal in the pygny tribe, has grown refined in his appetite. and even among his own people in the jungle, where dog stew was consid- cred a tempting dish, the reformed Otenbang now waves 1t aside with disgust. He has acquired the tastes of the American Indian. his neighbor at the Worlds Fair grounds, and considers his menu of good, wholesome beef and vegetables a welcome substi- tute for the jungle diet.
 Not even a fat fox terrier, which was presented to Otenbang by Gov ernor Hunt of the Igorrotes when the former paid his first call last week to the Filipino reservation, proved tempting enough to return to his for mer diet.
 The little white dog Is the pet of the pygmy camp. and rivals in the affec- tions of the little black men from the jungles with their parrots and mon key.
 otenbang, through their interpreter, Kondola, yesterday explained that the reason at first for his reform was the fact that he had no one to share his dog with him, as the other members
