IN GREAT HEALTH
Roosevelt and Son Successful
in Avoiding Sickness Dur
ing Their Trip.
N0ISOME PLACES VISITED
Kermit and His Father Only White
Members of Expedition Who
Were Not Ill at Some Time.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former
president of the United States, and his
son Kermit, who recently arrived at
Khartum, Egypt, with their party, are
practically the only two members of
the expedition, among the whites at
least, who escaped sickness. Slight at
tacks such as most of the party ex-
perienced were only natural in view
of the hardships endured, the heat
of the tropics, the noisome places
through which the expedition was
compelled to pass at times and the in
sects which at night make life a bur
den unless one is well protected against
their assaults. The Sesse islands,
through which the steamer threaded
on the trip to Entebbe, are monu-
ment to the devastation wrought by
the tsetse fly, for, once well populated,
they are now devoid of human life
through the sleeping sickness scourge.
Thoughtful of His Party.
Throughout the many months of

I NEWS OF THE NEIGHBORS

hunting Colonel Roosevelt d1sprayed
the greatest concern in the care OF
the party and the native attendants.
His personal interest was shown when
one of the correspondents, who mad
been within touch Of the expedition
from it's start, was forced to drop be-
hind on one OF the long marches be-
tween points. He was finally brought
up by porters, who carried him many
miles in a hammock and after that
dragged him many more miles In
tinrikisha. Colonel Roosevelt immedi-
ately insisted that DR.. Mearns take the
case in hand, and when the doctor de-
cided that an operation was necessary
the former president volunteered to
assist. This was not necessary, but
the colonel nevertheless stood by and
watched the surgeon work.
Nothing has pleased the ex-president
more than the native guards of honor
which turned out at every place to
greet his coming. At one of the sta
lions in Uganda q native contingent,
with two bands, one a fife and drum
and the other composed OF brasses,
marched to private house where Mr..
Roosevelt was a guest at luncheon ana
drew up for review. Each of the
bands was conducted by a mission Ia
Their, and to Mr. Roosevelt's surprise
and delight they enthusiastically rem
dered the American national anthem
with only a few false notes.
How Africans Learn TeEegraphy.
The manner in which the training OF
the natives is carried out interested
Colonel Roosevelt greatly. He saw I'm
educated natives taking and sending
messages by Morse code and sema-
phore, with flags, by lamp and hello
graph Although these signalmen do
not know what the message means,
yet they seldom make a mistake in
sending or receiving. Their method of
checking is by counting the letters in
a group. The natives display curious
instinct In following their instructions
to the letter.
The ex-president made the most Of
everything. enjoying the successes of
the expedition as keenly as the others
and sharing as fully as the others its
burdens.
