He says fluently "Good morning." "Good evening." and recently at dinner, after tasting a delicious soup, remarked that It was "very good chupee. The word "chupee" Is tribal lingo for a dish that corresponds to American soup, and the little savage was quick to associate the terms. Samuel spends much time amusing himself with other children.

He also Is learning rapidly lessons In politeness. He gets up briskly in he morning, when he is called. He will soon have a private tutor, and when Samuel can speak English he will be placed In the public schools. He shows exceeding fondness for fruit and meat. As might be guessed, he Is a pronounced meat eater, and it also seems that he never can get enough fruit Ills own people live largely on these two articles. Jlow Samuel will develop remains to be seen. Already he shows unusual Interest in mechanics. On shipboard he surprised everybody by taking pieces of wood, rags and strings and building an excellent reproduction of a boat. He also draws pictures quickly and with some originality. In physical appearance Samuel has round. Intensely black eyes, a chubby and complexion face, raven black hair, and each particular hair stands on end. y Perhaps the most reiented by the spectacle of was imuel I k( brought to Los Angeles Chester W.

Even the phonograph did not surprise him, and he acts as if he had known the telephone from his babyhood In the jungle. There Is a romance dark and bloody connected with the little Peruvian Indian boys presence In Los Angeles. He conies from Mabre de Oslo, near one of the rivers contributing to form the headwaters of the Amazon, and his kinsmen and ancestors have all been, and a'ill are, genuine cannibals.

The government clerks contend that their salaries are too small, and that, as the cost of living has advanced, they should be accorded the same consideration given cabinet officials and congressmen. The clerks are not the only ones who are grumbling at the apparent disinclination ou the part of the government to Increase salaries. Their uperlors also are said lo bo la favor of Increases.
