Just ended and Samuel and his brother
were left orphans. A white man
adopted Samuel's brother and will
bring the lad up as man servant:
but Brown was determined to try to
civilize Samuel.
Every instinct for hundreds OF years
past inherited by Samuel, the son OF
cannibals, is in the direction of the
wild life OF the jungle. the freedom
of peak and plain. Mr.. Brown realized
the difficulties Of his task, but was not

Of the country, and headquarters OF
the Inca Gold Mining Company, owned
largely by Pittsburg capitalists. At
! Tirapata Samuel was taught the Cetch-
way language. the gabble OF friendly
natives that work in the mines and
also show astonishing skin spearing
fish.
After two years with these semiciv.
ilized tutors the young cannibal was
taken to Arequipa, an important city,
and here he began studying Spanish,
in which he made rapid progress.
OF English he still knows little. He
says huently Good morning." Good

tasting delicious soup, remarked po.
litely that it was very good chupee."
phe word "chupee" is tribal lingo for q
dish that corresponds TO American
soup, and the little savage was quick
to associate the terms.
Samuel spends much time amusing
himself with other children. is a gem
eral favorite, and is making fast
friends. His temper is sunny, his dis
position even. He is quite a mimic,
and recently was on the lawn indulg-
ing in all sorts OF boyish pranks, such
as swelling out his chest, initiating a
J policeman, taking a bit of palm leaf
and pretending TO shave his face, roll
ing on a blanket and cutting didoes
to the delight OF American boys and
girls.
He also is learning rapidly lessons
in politeness. He gets up briskly in
the morning, when he Is called. He
will soon have a private tutor, and
when Samuel can speak English he
will be placed In the public schools.
He shows exceeding fondness for fruit
and meat. AS might be guessed, he is
pronounced meat eater, and 1t also
seems that he never can get enough
fruit. His own people live largely on
: these two articles.
How Samuel will develop remains to
be seen. Already he shows unusual
: interest in mechanics. On shipboard
! he surprised everybody by taking
! pieces of wood, rags and strings and
, building an excellent reproduction OF
boat He also draws pictures quick
ly and with some originality.
In physical appearance Samuel has
round. intensely black eyes, a chubby
face, cofiee-colored complexion and
raven black hair. and each particular
