A FTER lunch. Colonel Roosevelt

tho killing OF his first elephant In

Directly wo had camped here" he

ton. They then told us that the
four elephants had been seen, an
hour earlier. at spot only a few
miles from our camp.
Kermit. Cunningham and I
started off at once, and less than two
miles from our camp we saw the
four elephants. The biggest bull
charged me at sight. but / managed
to bowl him over with only one shot.
The others then made off All the
time this was going on, we could
hear the noise made by our porters
pitching camp. SO. I can claim that
1 killed my first elephant in Uganda
on the very threshold Of my camp"
And that was the first-and only
elephant they killed in Uganda. for
they had secured all the specimens
they desired.
We had been travelling thru the
Ankole country. whose people have
cattle with immense horns. No cat.
tie in the world possess bigger horns
than these sleek and heaithy-loolSlng
cattle. with coats as glossy MS satin.
Colonel Roosevelt had been much in.

had made a number Of fine pictorial

no FIGURES tell the truth?
~ Senator Duncan u. Fletcher of Florida, whose
state bad enough child labor offender says he is highly
gatfed because North Carolina has recently Joined with
Georgia and Louisiana in turning down the child labor
amendment.
Fletcher tries to prove that such amendment is
sary because he says according TO the figures of
1920 there only 9473 children under If years Of
age employed in the entire mechanical and manufacturing
Industries of the United States
Just a minute, Senator
Mechanical and manufacturing industries form but
of the divisions of labor which in 1920 occupied 100000
children under l6 years of age in our fair land.
All the work. in cotton mills is not yet being done
by adults for figures state that in 1920 children of
10 to 10 years inclusive formed 5S per cent of all the
cotton mill operatives.
Senator Fletcher deliberately ignores those children II
and 10 years old who in 1920 employed in numbers
totang 6S2 795 More than l75O00 of these engaged
manufacturing and mechanical industries" including
cotton, silk and wooden mills.
These industries is we'll known draw their greatest
number of child recruits from those over rather than
under IA
Senator Fletcher however like North Carolina seems
to believe that anyone II shift for himself.

STRANGE HABITS

a few days after We had entered
the Unyoro country. wo noticed a
number Of shrincs. Our inquiries
ELECTED the information they were
ghost shrincs. when sickness comes
TO tho Banyoro people. they cay that
Il Is ono OF their onemlcs--tho ghosts
Of their anccBtors-who In attacking
them. 80 they proceed 70 capture the
syii spirit
Ghosts. they believe. like hot
cooked meat Therefore. meat Is
cooked In a large cooking pot near
tho dwelling hut OF tho sick man or
woman. As soon a8 the pleasant
aroma OF tho meal reaches the dwell
ing. tho Banyoro believe that tho evil
spirit enters the cooking pot TO enjoy
the feast. As soon as the food Is
cooked and ready. they seal II up.
The pottod ghost is then taken away
from the village and buried in the
ground. the place Of intcrment being
marked by tho erection OF a ghost
shrine.
Another quaint belief OF tho Ban.
yoro is that once man hna b><n
enthroned as king OF that country.
his person becomes sacred, His food
is restricted TO milk and beef, which
Is obtained from special and sacred
herd OF cows which are always kept
apart from the other herds.
The king Of Unyoro never permits
himself TO grow old or his faculties
10 become impaired. when he thinks
himself likely TO become seriously III,
he calls together council OF state,
arranges the affairs OF the Kingdom
with the principal chiefs 49, without
giving them any reason for thinking
that he is about TO dIe--and dismIsses
them TO carry out his instructions.
This important business safely nc.
complished. the king returns No his
royal palace and summons his chief
queen-they have many queens In
their harem-and orders her TO bring
him a cup of powerful native poison.
Then he drinks the contents Of tho
poison cup and In a few moments he
Is dead.
