President may even shoot an okapl.
This strange animal seemingly comes
in between a zebra and a giraffe and
is eaten by the natives. But 1T Will
not do for the Presidents party to
depend on okapi meat, since only one
or two specimens of this animal have
ever been seen by white man.
These, then, are some of the means
by which the party of Mr.. Roosevelt
will be fed in Africa. There will be
rice, chickens, ehutney and rough
bread as the staple in camp for the
white men. Greek bakers in Nom
hasa now supply hunters with bags
of hard biscuits, which are extremely
good upon the march, because insects
cannot pierce their indurated surface.
Potatoes and garden vegetables will
be available at Nairobi, Nakuru, Kis-
umu, Entebbe and Jinja. Salt, tea
coffee, cocoa will be taken from Nom
hasa. For the rest, the hunters will
have to supply themselves with fresh
meat, from game that existe on every
side.

parentage to a lower class Japanese
emphasizes anew the strength OF
race feeling along the Pacific coast.
The unfortunate girl, whose strange
infatuation has attracted national at
tention, was. virtually ostracised by
her white friends and associates. Her
home state, California, having forbid
edn the intermarriages of whites
with Japanese, the pair, accompanied
by the girls mother, at last found
complaisant officials and ministers in
Seattle. Almost mobbed on their de-
parture from home their progress was
marked by bitter demonstrations.
News of their approach preceded
them. The county clerk at Portland.
Ore, finding the law bit uncertain,
nevertheless ordered his deputies not
only to refuse to issue the license, but
to throw the applicants out If they
attempted to argue the question.
Washington, it appears, permits mis-
cegenation, and the wanderers at last
secured the necessary license and
clergymen at Seattle.
The curious feature of the affair is
the reported objection of the Japa-
nese themselves to the mongrel mar
rlage. Aoki is said to have been a
disturbing factor in the SanFranciScO
colony, and a Japanese delegation If
newspaper accounts be true, waited
upon his betrothed and described his

A report that Aoki was related to a
noble Japanese family and was a man
of standing among his own people,
was officially denied The misery in
evitably attendant upon an alliance
that ostrasizes young woman of re-
fined and cultured parentage from
the social circles to which she is ac-
customed is easily foreseen, and the
repulsive mesalliance will doubtless
bring it's own bitter punishment to
the infatuated girl.
The story owes its Importance to
the significant racial opposition to in
termarriage developed With the pos
sible exception of Washingtonians,
the white folk of the Pacific coast
seem to be as firm in their objection
to the mongrelization the affair de-
velopes a defect in certain of the
laws prohibiting racial intermarriage,
notably in Oregon, where the statute
forbids intermarriage of whites with
Chinese, negroes, Indians, Kanakas
and Mongolians The Japanese ed
muir to classification as Mcngolians
and there is some question as to
whether the inhibition lies against
them. 1t is probable, however, that
the laws against miscegenation viii
be strengthen by the Western States
since the defects have been called
to their attention, and mongrel mar
riages will before long be outlawed
along the entire Pacific coast.
