BRAINS AND BRASS.

The Philadelphia Times says the
characteristic American of to-day
is a compound of two prominent
qualities brains and brass. With
out either of these he 10 an utterly
worthless mortal, and with only one
of them he is unbalanced and unfit
for the demands of the age. The
man of mere intellect may be fine
scholar and a thoughtful reader, but
he can never mingIe successfully in
the busy activities of the world at
large. The man of mere conceit
may be conspicuous and receive at
tention because Of his pertinacity,
but he can never grasp the great
themes which absorb mankind at
present. 1t needs combination OF
the two elements to achieve true
success. Call it nerve cheek,
"overdrawn assurance"-whatever
you will, that spirit of push, of I'm
bounded perseverance,, is a recog
nized feature of the true American.
And there is no reason to mourn its
existence. 1t is a necessary factor
in modern life. In the midst of the
rush and hurry of these days a man
will be left in the rear who does not
make himself aggressive. Mere
brain power is not enough. There
must be some means whereby the
ability can be manifested ....

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN AS 1T
STANDS Senator Malone expects
to nave the vote of $4,000 white

hopes to divide the Hancock read

It was that Of huge black snake
with a white ring about i:s neck Il,
stood up in bis path with what ap
peared to be several rods of snake
trailing back in the perspective
The doctor did not use bis profes
sionaI weapon of prayer, but stood
paralyzei with fright As he gazed
terror stricken, the snake disappear
ed like a fash, and re-sppeared in
the path behind him, its head curv-
ed over his until it again gazed into
bis benign connteDapce. The learu>
ed doctor, "ducked, yelled and
scooted," to use bis own language.
He made his frat mile ia 80 seconds
and came in with a long lope upon
the home stretch of the second with
bis long sandy hair standing up like
the fretful quilts of the porcupine.
An irreverent man, who heard Of
the learned doctors adventure, said
that he-haaa friend who once had
them he way. He was con
tinuing H. is slanderous way, when
some friends of the doctor came to
the rescue, and drove the irreverent
man out.

Strange stories are told by an
EngliSbman of distinction, who late
ly made a West Indian tour of the
prevalence of Voudouism in Hayti.
de asserts that of the 100000 in
habitants only 10000 do not openly
belong to 'Voudou,' and that the
Catholic region, nominally the es
tablished worship of the people, is
powerless to suppress the horrible
outgrowth of Paganism. Murder
and cannibalism are parts of the
Voudou horrors, and the butchery of
children marks the great Voudou
feasts three times year. Of course
these horrible rites were imported
from Africa by ,Iaves from the Con
go but it appears that the suPersti>
ton has taken deeper root in This
island than elsewhere. If these be
facts, civilized nations should unite
to suppress these crimes in the in-
terest of humanity.

TIE MUcHLY MARRIED MARVIN

The old man Marvin, who recent>
ly marrind Miss Turpin in Richmond
and deserted her, has been captured
and brought back to Richmond,
where he will be tried on the charge
of forgery and also bigamy. 1t has
been discovered that he has been
married to fifteen uususpecting and
innocent ladies'. The amazing fact
is that so many women should have
been willing to marry an unsttrac"
tive, elderly man upon short notice.
He did not resort to long or sen,;>
mental wooings. Moonlight, bou>
quets and romance were not his de-
pendence. He went straight to the
point, and asked the woman to mar
ry hin, and promised to settle $50,
600 on her. 1t appears very rarely
to have failed. The woman in FAM
cy beheld the money and forgot the
sixty years. She believing 10 him,
made her family believe in him
Ordinary reserve and caution were
thrown aside, and the low swindler
betrayed his victims A profound
knowledge of human nature was
shown by this thief, and there is a
severe lesson il his history for wo
men who are ever anxious to make
a good match Marrying for mon
ey or a stranger Is a risky business.
