into the morning, and long before it
was done every officer and soldier in
the party had solved the mystery of the
origin of the jazz to his own satisfac-
the mountains in which the Igorrotes
dwell. Now it just so happened that
the party arrived in the little Igorrote
city on one of the native feast days, a
day on which they give up ordinary
eats and turn to that greatest of all
Igorrote delicacies, roast canine. The
American officers in the party, know-
ing the failing of the natives for tooth-
some young dogs roasted to a nice gold-
en brown On spits, offered to stand the
cost of an additional dog or two for
the chiefs of the Gaguio neighborhood,
just to show their friendliness; where-
upon the chiefs reciprocated by order-
ing out their zippiest dancers and the
loudest tom-tom beaters to furnish the
music.
The feasting and dancing lasted well

native article and the American va- 1
riety, according to the letter, is that
the latter has been carried to the • I
word in refinement, as refinement ’
plies to jazz, while the former is juO%
jazz without some of the wriggles elim-
inated. But the native dance contains
the basic idea and the basic movements.
This was agreed upon by all members
of the party, according to the letter,
and now a captain, who was a member
of the party, and who is related to one
of Broadway’s theatrical producers,
proposes to have a band of the Igor-
rote dancers brought to Broadway so
that New Yorkers may see. for them-
selves what the jazz looked like when
it was still in the monkey stages of
evolution.
And now the question has been pro-
posed, if Broadway, why not Galveston .
also, for Galvestonians are no slouches
as devotees of the great American joy
dance, the jazz.
Where did the jazz originate? That
much mooted and much booted question
seems at last to have been settled. Sol-
diers of Uncle Sam claim the honor,
and as these fellows are great hands
at settling disputes in such a way that
they stay settled—(take, for instance,
the recent fuss about who was boss of
the world)—the matter may be con-
sidered disposed of for all time.
But as to how and where this mys-
terious dance that has gripped a nation
in quaking rhapsodies for nearly two
years came into being, and the strange
manner in which it was discovered; that
is part of the story, and worth read-
ing. The whole thing was revealed in
a letter recently received by Sgt. James,
of the local recruiting station, from an
old friend of his, who recently returned
from a visit to the dog eating Igor-
rotes.
The jazz has been laid to the wild
men of Borneo, the nautch dancers of
India, and the Tamucha Wallahs of the
Malay peniusula, but according to this
friend of Sgt. James, the Igorrotes and
none other, originated the dance from
which the great American jazz was
taken.
According to the letter a party of
soldiers stationed in the Philippines set [
out for a day of sightseeing among the

was likewise, but Wilson and Miss
Sherwood carried the day in their way.
Several good songs were introduced
that took well, being encored tirhe after
time. Miss Sherwood was recalled
about six times when she sang “Oh,
How She Could Dance,” with the as-
sistance of the girls. Another song
that was very well renedered was “I
Know 'What It Means to Be Lonely.”

Singerton, Ill.—"For fifteen years we
have used Thedford’s Black-Draught,
and have not as yet found anything
that could take its place,” writes Mr.
W. F. Rister, of this town, "I have used
it for indigestion a number of times, |
and it gives relief,” continues Mr. Ris-
ter. •
“For sour stomach, a heavy, bloated
feeling, it is splendid. And when the
liver gets torpid, so that when you
stoop and raise up suddenly you feel
dizzy, a few doses will set you straight.
“We keep it and use tor constipation
and the above troubles, and find it most
satisfactory. I can recommend it to
others and gladly do so. For the num-
ber of years I have use Black-Draught
now, I ought to know.”
- In its 70 years of usefulness, Thed-
ford's Black-Draught has relieved
thousands and thousands of persons
suffering from the results of a disor-
dered liver. And, like Mr. Rister, many
people feel that, after using Black-
Draught nothing can take its place.

By Associated Press.
Mena, Ark., March 3.—After applying
all known tests for death the family of
Mrs. Lee Shelton decided life was ex-
tinct and ordered the burial to take
place. Mrs. Shelton was found ap-
parently dead beside her 8-weeks-old
baby at the farm home on Prairie
creek, east of Mena. The funeral was
halted for 48 hours to make all the tests
known to medical science. Acute indi-

adds cruelty to his unfaithfulness, but
who, by an accident, becomes a hope-
less invalid. His wife nurses, him care-
fully. Her kindness is repaid by
curses, but her pity finally releases
him from a life of violent suffering.
Miss Traverse is superb in her emo-

Queen Theater.
Dorothy Dalton gives some new evi-
dence of her right to be'named among
the most talented emotional actresses
of the screen in “Black Is White,”
which opens a two day run at the
Queen theater today. In a role that
requires her to delineate three dis-
tinctly different types of women she
easily carries off the chief honors. The
picture is from George Barr McCutch-
eon’s novel.
Miss Dalton, as Margaret Brood, is
retiring, modest and the wife of Jim
Brood, whose jealousy of her love, even
for their son, finally influences her to
leave him. Taking up her residence
with Theresa, her invalid sister, Mar-
garet takes advantage of tne situation
at the latter’s death and becomes the
gay butterfly adopted daughter of
Baron Strakosch. Here her husband
meets her, but does not see in her his
former wife. He falls in love with her
and she marries him again in order to
be near the son. After some difficul-
ties, happiness comes to them.

heads a good supporting cast, which in-
cludes Claire Mersereau, Lillian Law-
rence and Joseph Granby.
