NAIROBI, British East Africa,
July 10.-In the Lake Naivasha
country, where former President
Roosevelt will return to hunt in
August, after his little flyer down
to the compar- i've civilization of
Nairobi, are two places of unusual
interest.
One is Lake Saigo-Soi-alkaline
unsounded, cavernous, located in
the crater of an old volcano-the
lake which gave Rider Haggard his
inspiration for Alan Quartermain,
and which is the inner temple of
African mystery and legends.
The other place is the Ndabibi
plans of 10000 level acres, teem-
ing with game-the happy hunting
ground of the world.
Saigo-Soi. or oHt Stomach-the
name is given by the Nasal to the
lake because cows that drink there
lose their next calves. Why, no.
body has ever been able to tell. The
question is all the more puzzling
since sheep may drink here and
grow fat.
There is an underground connec-
ton between Saigo-Soi and Lake
Naivasha. a mile and a half away,
never yet discovered. but known, to
exist because the two lakes are tal-
ways on absolutely the same leyet
in rain or drouth, and this although
still another mystery-the water
of Saigo-Soi Is % strongly alkaline
and the water of Naivasha perfect
ly sweet.
Cuninghame, Roosevelt's guide,
tried to find the passage recently
and had a thrilling experience.

A MIDNIGHT ERoLIc

At the enchanted hour of mid
night when people are all asleep
the dolls in the small city of MARI
boro had a tea party out in the
park All the big and little dollies
were there, some brought wee
sandwiches, others cake and candy
and the biggest dollies carried the
lemonade.
my. how good 1t is to get out
doors on the green grass!' said
the dollies., who lived in the big
toy stores downtown.
Il wish a little girl would buy
me. for 1t must be nice to have a
lovely little mistress wheel one in
a carriage out to the park in the
daytime and hear the birds sings.

box in a store window.
A kind hearted fairy heard her
wish and said to herself. 81 win
call some birds back from fairy
land to sing to them" So she
whistled on a grass blade, the birds
put their heads out of their nests
and at her request sang for the
dollies. who gayly danced to the
music.
The little store doll thanked the
birds for singing for them. be.
cause she was SO thoughtful. the
fairy told her she could have her
wish. For the next day a little
girl would come and buy her and
take the doll to the country to live
with her.
The doll was very happy when
she got back into her box in the
window, for she was sure that
what the fairy said would come
true.
