Daily Visits of George and Pete At Crossing Halted ty Illness (I!y Mary (irchier) . The friendship between l'ete Ar cade, Southern Taelfic flagman and little fleorge Maddux, dimfnu tlve colored bootblack, which has existed for over five years, reach ed a touching 'climax yesterday at the Sacred Heart, when the latter went to see bis friend, who was rushed to the hospital for a major operation Monday. "J-ittlc (icorge" didn't know that the flagman had any other name than Pete, and the Italian knew the bootblack simply as "Utile (Horge." For five years they have had their dally visit at the crossing tin Main street; talked politics, exchanged town gossip nnd kidded each other n bit. Monday, I'ete was missing and lit tle (icorge called up the Southern Pacific to find the reason why. He thought probably the railroad company hadn't appreciated "'the services of his friend, nnd he was going to use his influence' to get him reinstated. Hut at that time I'ete was Cannibals Don't Mean It, Writes a French Traveler By X. Itcyitotds Packard Tutted Press Staff Correspondent. I A U I S ( U. I ) Cu n n Ibals a re nice, friendly people who really do not mean to eat human . beings when they make a meal out of a plump missionary or the fat chief of ad enemy tribe. In fact, they would be very conscience stricken I if told that they had partaken of their fellow-man. , That is the belief of Pierre Mllle. Krench journalist nnd traveler, who has written In "Ie Quotldlen" about bis adventures among canni bals in the Congo. The whole misunderstanding about this man eating business, he contends, hinges on the totem-pole, known as tnnna in the language of many primitive people. "The totem or tannn symbolizes to these people a mythical ances tor, generally an animal," explains Mile. "Kach tribe believes it Is descended from a lion, an elephant ' a tiger or some other beast. Ah u consequence a tribesman Is forbid den to ent of the animal symboliz ing his tribe or any member of his tribe. He can, of course, make a supper on the people of another tribe because they are descended from another animal." In other words, when a member of the lion clan, with Kpicurean zest, digests a member of the cow tribe, he is under ,tho Impression that he is merely eating a veal cutlet. TERRY TALENT TO After making Med ford his head quarters for the past Jhree years ah a federal prohibition agent, Terry Talent bft today for Portland lo hand in his resignation, after which he wilt take up duties with the Cnlted States narcotic sipiud with headquarter In Seattle, where I he Will be located for some time. This means promotion ami a sub stantial raise in salary. He had been connected with the federal prohibition department for three years, preceded by two years xervice with the state department, lie is recognized throughout the state as one of the most active of ficers of the dry force and has hundreds of arrests to his credit, including a large number In soutn ern Oregon. His successor has not -been named, and it Is not known wheth er another officer will lake bis place In I his territory. AID DRUG SQUAD CASE RE-OPENED doubted over on his high white I bed in the hospital with the tor- tares that accompany ulcers of the stomach. , He underwent the serious operation ' and bis life hangs In the balance. Utile Jeorge huHd that no vis I flnrs were allowed in the sick ' room, but be gave up an nntici j pated New V.ear'H trip to Klam I ath Falls, to take a chance on it j any way. Appealing to the phy ! sicians and nurses, he was finally admitted, and sat as long as they'd let him, on the chair beside his friend's bed. "1 wanted to bring Peto some flowers, but I was afraid if I stopped to get them I wouldn't get there myself," said the boot black. .'"When I did get there they said there wasn't no visitors nl- lowed. Mut 1 told the nurse to tell I'ee that there was a 'cullud gentleman' out in the hall. And when -'she came, out again, she took me in. As 1 left, 1'eto was smilin a little bit anyway, and wished me a happy New Year,'" he said. ' Millo has observed that canni bals after being Converted to the Christian or Moslem faith are Im mediately filled with horror at the Idea of eating human flesh. They have come to realize that all men belong to the human race. Jtclating a few nf his experi ences in the Congo, he writes: "I remember one day that my por ters, who were very hungry, had captured a huge tortoise. Unhap pily one of them believed he was descended from n tortoise. Ho re fused to take part in the meal at first, hut( finally gave In on j account of the insistence of the others ami his own appetite. After the meal, however, he became so terrified nt what he had riutio that be was taken violently 111." 1 .
