Roosevelt came, sized up the situation, and made a speech at a big banquet in Nairobi.

Nearly two hundred white men in evening clothes were there.

They came from all parts of East Africa, and listened with admiration to the plain truths that Theodore Roosevelt told them in the manner of a Dutch uncle.

Since then he has owned the country and could be elected to any office within the gift of the people.

He talked for over an hour, and it must have been a great speech, if one may judge by the enthusiastic comments I have heard about it.
