on The cottage porch.
The Dag1aric dance Of the head-hunters
was inspiring .nd exciting. and Miss

tense interest. Their Nlld chant seemed to

coptance.
Governor Hunt sent the Icorrotes over on
either side Of the gully for battle With
dirt. instead OF stones. TO show Miss
Roosevelt how the Tgorrotes fight and
how they protect themselves with their
bamboo shields. an event that pleased
her, and then the party swung around to
take in the sights
The crowd came scurrying after her IN
typical American fashion. This digusted
Doctor Williamson, who remarked to Mr..
Markham:
The impudent people! It makes me
ashamed that / am an American citizeu,"
DID NOT INDORsE
OBJECTION TO CROWD.
It was a sentiment that plainly Miss
Roosevelt did not indorse. She smiled
good-nsturedly. and. in fact, seemed to
enjoy the peIi-rnell rush OF tho people all
around her. She shows that she's
thorough American and is glad Of IT.
The first stop was made in the theater
where the Filipino rnidgets are playing.
and the two bits of humanity danced for
the Presidents daughter. Then she was
hurried away-or rather she hurried away
with Doctor Wilson as guide-to the Neg
rito village 1t was explained to her that
the Negritos are probably the most prin-
itive of people and she looked them over
with critical eye As an example Of
their agility n bambo mat was laid over
a pole reaching a small platform. and up
that one OF the Negritos ran with a child
in his arms.
Captain Is the presidente OF the Negri-
tos. and lie was introduced He wore his
battered and ancient plug" hat and when
presented he raised It with a stiff left arm
above his head In a manner that brought
a pleased and amused smile from the
Presidents daughter. Then the missing
Ink" as one OF the Negri;os Is called. was
introduced. He held out his hand with
smile and she touched it with hers.
Out of the NezrIto village the party
raced to the parade ground of the Philip
pine ConstabuIary. where there was an
interesting drill. and where two autono-
bIIe5 were waiting. During the drill Miss
Roosevelt and the ladies in her party oc-
curied the cars, and as soon as tie drill
was over they were whisked away to the
Filipino Scout parade grounds.
II was then after 6 o'clock and the
shadows were leng;hening across the pa
rade ground, and already it was growing
dim in the forest. in which are the tents
Of the Governments native scldiery of
the Philippines. The two automobiles
were admitted through the gates. and the
scouts brought chairs and placed them IN
der the trees for the party. Miss Roose-
welt had Mr. Longworth as her male
companion throughout the drill. and fire.
qucntly the two exchanged words that
caused a bit Of laughter between them.
