she had no hesitancy in accepting
the offer, but to my surprise she
stepped behind a bush, took it off,
put on another and came forth
smiling with the one | derslred in
her hand. She evidently had plen-
ty of girdles in reserve for just such
emergencies. These women have
great love for personal adornment
and tattoo themselves in curious
designs. Devices are tattooed down
their legs and across their cheeks.
Some would have been good look
ing if they had not disfgured them
selves with surplus of tattoo
marks. In their bundles they car
ried all sorts of odds and ends such
as is usually found in one of our
school boys pockets.
All these natives are governed by
a little chief who acknowledges
obedience to the great Nlbrerero,
king of the tribe of Nj, to which
they all belong. The total number
of natives in New Caledonia is
about thirty thousand, and mental
ly and physically they are about
half way between the natives OF
the island of Tahiti and the Au-
stralian blacks.

Heart
Troubles

The heart may be weak
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
1t often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-eXertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some of the nerves
of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be
strengthened with a tonic,
and for this nothing equals

ROOSEVELT REACHES
THE HUNTING
GROUNDS
FORMER PRESIDENT PREPARES
TO SPEND FIRST NIGHT IN
AFRICA UNDER CANVAS.

Kapiti Plains, British East Africa,
April 2S.-Theodore Roosevelt has
reached the hunting grounds, and to-
night prepared to pass his first night
in Africa under canvas. A big camp
has been established near the rail-
road station. Last night lions were
prowlng about the vicinity of the
tents. The country is green, owing to
the recent rains, and there is every
prospect of good sport. The hunts
men will lose no time in getting
started. The special train bearing the
Roosevelt party from Mombasa ar
rived this afternoon. Only the mem
bers of the party got off at Kaptiti
Plains. f. j. Jackson, the acting gov
ernor of the protectorate, and the
other officials who came from Nom
basa proceeded to Lairobi.
The caravan will have 260 follow,
ers. There are 13 tents for the Euro
peans and their horses and so tents
for the porters. An American flag is
flying over the tent occupied by Mr..
Roosevelt. All the native porters were
lined up on the platform when the
Roosevelt special pulled in, and as
Mr. Roosevelt stepped from the train
they shouted a salute in his honor.
Mr.. Roosevelt was welcomed at the
station by Mr.. Pease, who will be his
host for the present.

RACING WILL BEGIN
IN KENTUCKY
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED
HORSES ARE READY TO BE
ENTERED IN THE MEET.

Lexington, KY, April 23.-Tomorrow
the racing season in Kentucky and
the south for 1909 will be inaugurated
here. More than 500 horses are stabbed
at the track and every stall has been
reserved by breeders from all over
the country.
Horses were shipped from Los An
geles and Oakland last Saturday, so
as to be here to run in the coming
meeting. The meeting will continue
for seven days. Six races will be run
daily, with a total of $4,000 hung up
in purses. Former famous stakes
have been cut out, as betting at Lex
ington and Louisville is conducted by
the Pari mautel system. AS the ma
chimes are being tried for the second
time, the meeting is something of an
experiment. This meeting will be fol-
lowed by one of IS days at Churchill
Downs, Louisville, after which the
Latonia Jockey club may cut in for
a month. The fate of Latonia, how
ever, still hangs in the balance, but
the court of appeal clerk has fixed
May as the day on which the argu-
ments will be heard at Frankfort.
Because of the unsettled condition
of racing throughout the country
horsemen hope the racing commission
will be sustained by the appellate
court, fearing to inaugurate an all
summer meeting, as is said to be con-
templated by Latonia in the event it
wins the fight against the racing COM
mission, will result in a law being
passed at the next session of the leg
islature prohibiting the sport alto
gether in Kentucky.
