clothesline and | was able to net him
without being hurt. / took hold of the
skin of his neck and lifted him off the
ground, although it strained my arm TO
do so. On Lake Victoria / saw a pet
hyena, and at one of the native villages
found several pet antelopes. Pet sheep
and goats are common among the
Africans, and there are certain tribes
in which sheep will follow it's master
about and come to him when called.
In Uganda sheep are often petted.
They are fat-tailed animals with hair
as coarse as that of tin-can-fed Amer
lean goat. They are usually white in
color, although some are as red as a
blood bay horse. In Oar es Salaam l
stopped with man who owned pet
leopard. 1t was only few weeks old
and was as tame as a eat.
The captain on one of the Lake Vic
toria steamers has several pet monkeys,
dog faced baboon, and some parrots
The parrots have silver gray feathers
on their bodies and their wings and
tails are bright red They talk in the
native language and whistle in espe-
ranto.
About the queerest pet bird have
yet seen on this continent is the whale
headed stork of Uganda, one Of which
has been. sent to Khartoum and is kept
there in the gardens of the Sirdar. The
bird is found all around Lake Vic
toria, and especially at the source of
the Nile. 1t is as big as the largest
turkey gobbler, and its head looks as
though it had been chopped out of
pole and then hung to its
neck. This stork has long legs, and
it walks about with great dignity. IL
looks sleepy, and it does not seem mt
all afraid. / took a snapshot at the
bird with my camera, standing within
a few feet of it at the time. II did
not bulge, but gazed at me out Of it's
bleary eyes as though it thought me D
fool.

and empress are ubiquitous in this part
of East Africa. The officials hang their
pictures in every public building and
nearly every house, store and hotel has
a cheap print of the kaiser. There are
statues and busts of Bismarck at the
/ several German ports. I have written
/ Of the great medallion of Bismarck,
! which is on pyramid at the southern
] end of Victoria Nyanza. There is a
/ bronze bust of him on a pedestal in
the PUBLIC garden at Tanga, and a
rather fine statue of him at Oar es
Salaam. The streets of Tanga have
German names, like the streets of Ber-
SaIaam. There is no doubt about this
being a. German territory, and no
doubt that the Germans rule it.
FLoGGING THE NEGROES.
I see the same fierce native soldiers
everywhere, as ] saw them about in
Victoria Nyanza, and they, as we'll as
the European officials. go about with
a lordly air. have already written
of the fogging.
The colored man here has but few
rights that the white man is bound to
respect. This is especially so after
one gets out into the wilds. Indeed, /
am surprised at the cold blooded way
in which the traders relate their own
treatment of the natives. An Amer
lean, whom I met here, was talking
the other night of trip he had made
THROUGH German East Africa, in which
he had employed a large gang of ne
gro porters to carry his supplies. Said
he:
you can never tell whether these
rascals are shamming or not. I re-
member one of my porters who was al
ways playing off sick. and whom I
had to whip almost from the start.
None of my men like to walk through
the swamps after nightfall. It is
rather dangerous, you know; but had
to hurry and pushed right along. One
evening this porter refused to go far
Their He squatted down on the edge
of a log and said he would not move.
I had my men stretch him out and
fogged him again and again in vain.
At last the fool put one of his arms
behind him to save his back from the
blows of the kuboka, and 7 struck his
wrist and broke it. Of course, could
do nothing with him after that. He
could not hold the load on his head
and I had to leave him there in the
swamp"
These were. the words, not OF a Bel
gian, a German or Britisher, although
have heard equally bad stories from
men of each of those nationalities, but
they were those of an American, and
were uttered as though breaking the
mans wrist and leaving him to die in
