ROOSEVELT TO REDUCE FAT

Strenuous Colonel Will Ride Horseback and Hunt Last Indians in Arizona. New. York.—Ease and an office chair and too much sugar on bis cereal have done the trick for Colonel Roosevelt. He’s getting fat—again. There’s only one course possible to the vigorous colonel when this bulbous condition of the equator develops. He at once determines to get out where he can ride a horse and holler and work that superfluity down to a hollow. Bo that this summer, according to the gossip that has fizzed up from Oyster Bay, he will go out to Arizona and hunt for a lost tribe of Indians. Incidentally, he will re-dißcover the last hole in his belt “Lost Indians in Arizona?” said Doctor Goddard of the department of anthropology of the Museum of Natural History* “Not precisely. But it is true that there are some out there that have never been found.” It appears that there are Indians scattered all over Arizona —the Wallapais and the Hopls and the Pinas and

the Papagoes and the Apaches, and chief of them all the Navajoes. A good many of them earn an honest living by giving an aboriginally modified Bill show for the benefit of summer tourists. - Others keep sheep and scream every time one touches schedule K. Still others peddle Massachusetts blankets in bright colors to persons from Boston. And others live out in tbe mountains, far from the maddening white man, just about as their ancestors did about tbe time that Cortez discovered tbe toehold as a means of getting rich quickly. “The wildest lot." said Doctor Goddard, "are the Navajoes. They are perfectly peaceful, but we have had no report on the tribes in the western part of Arizona. There are men twenty-five years old who have never seen a white man. No doubt a visit to them would be entertaining and instructive." y It will be if the colonel le tbe visitor. >"7 . %
