or these nve, the nrsJ two are the Ha- mitic and Semitic tongues; while the remaining three are purely African. Of the latter the first group comprises the various Nigritian languages, spok- en by the inhabitants of that territory known as the Equatorial Belt, the sec end includes the great Bantu and Kaf- fir divisions and the third includes the tongue of the Hottentots and Bush men.
 The real African religion is essen tially the religion of the heather. It is the outgrowth of fear and reverence for Nature as it appears to the child of the woods. Innumerable rites, oft times of an abominable nature form the body of this religion. Some of the rites and ceremonies are directly traceable to the ceremonial religions of the east which have somehow fil- tered to the heart of Africa, mixing themselves with the crude religious conceptions of the ignorant blacks and producing a system of rites that are sometimes grotesque, but more often revolting to the civilized sense. The phi Iosophy of Shamanism, which recog- nizes a supreme deity who is assisted by a great many lesser gods, good and bad, is found to be prevalent doctrine in some portions. But so crude does it become, in some sections especially, that it is nothing more nor Less than fetichism-than which in S its worst forms there is mo more horrible sys- tenn of so-called religious ceremonies. The fetich worship requires an almost infinite number of idols, each of which is worshiped under the supposition that it contains the spirit of the par ticular diety it represents, and whose aid or mercy the supphcant desires to invoke.

A GREAT KANSAS FARM.

The argiculturist who carefully culit-
 yates forty or sixty or eighty acres
 and calls it farm is likely to look up-
 on a quarter section"-the regulation
 homestead of 160 acres-as a large es- tate; an entire section Ga mile square)
 he would doubtless regard as tre-
 mendous area, and a half-dozen sec- tfons would seem like a whole province.
 What, asks writer in World sWork, would such a man think of a farm on which from one hundred to one hum
 dred and fifty men are employed; a r farm whose furtheSt corner is seven
 teen miles from the farmhouse; farm that requires three bookkeepers and stenographers to make a record of it's activity?
 That is the scale on which M. M.
 Sherman conducts his farm in Central Kansas He has more than forty thousand acres. Every year he sells
 more than twenty-five thousand fat beeyes. If a man were to start to ride
 around his farm on horseback, follow ing the fence line and riding fifty miles
 day, he could not make it's circuit in two days.
 MT Sherman is now trying to devise
 method of ploughing by power by the
 use of two engines, one at either end
 of the field, propelling cable between them, to which the ploughs may be att tached. He believes this to be the best solution of the ploughing by power problem, provided gasoline engine can be made with sufficient weight to propel the ploughs and still not be too ! heavy for practical utility. In fact, every experiment which is made in the work of the farm is commensurate with the size of the farm and it's crop. But nothing is unwieldy, and the en- 1 tire little State which the Sherman farm makes swings along with better system and with greater profit than
 commonwealths a century old.

of human beings have taken place as incidental to this sort of idol worship. No one will ever know how many lives have been taken to appease the wrath of these so-called gods.
 In religion, however, Africa is com ing to reflect the doctrines of the out side world. The religions of the east and the religions of the west vie with each other there. As result Africa is becoming more Christian and a good deal Mohammedan, The Mohammedan religion with it's early foothold in the northeast has gradually spread until its influence is strongly felt in the great upper half of the dark continent. Christianity has made some inroads on the coast in the west and south; and the great interior remains in it's primal ondition-devoted to Nature worship mixed with a thousand crude conceptions of the heather.
 The religious concepts of the vari- ous negro tribes in those portions of central and southern Africa where neither Mohammedism nor Christian ity has penetrated, is governed largely by their degrees of intelligence. The tribes highest in the scale undoubtedly worship a supreme being, whom they set great way off, through the lesser deities which are at hand and whose images they can see and handle. Some times these deities are represented by rivers and trees, and the latter, then known as fetiches, are supposed to contain the spirit of the God appealed to. The ability to distinguish between this unseen spirit and the material image in which it is supposed to dwell, varies in different tribes according to the position of the tribe in the scale of intelligence. The Bushmen and other low types have no nice distinc- tions to make. The Bushman regards his little fetich image as itself myste- riously powerful, looking to it for good fortune in much the same way that nersQns ip more civilized coun-

 It has been declared by some trav- elers that there are tribes in Africa which have no religion whatever; but this is hardly probable. More reliable authorities aver that there is no tribe which has not it's superstitionsl com cerning mysteriouspower even though they know not how to define this pow CT; and these superstitions concerning the common mysteries of life and of Nature invariably find some expres- sion in rites of worship however crude.

I@ A ME concerning the various pc IE& A I cuharities of physique, re-
 igion and language of the many tribes of people who inha bit Africa. So numerous are the branches of the African race that a map of the country must be divided and subdi- Vided many stimes before all the sec tions can be shown; and they never can be correctly presented for the reason stha$ the boundary lines between the tribes have in many instances been swept awaypby irftermarriage, wars, , or other intermingling nd.by the for mation of half-breed races, so that while the tribes and races of Africa differ radically. from each other they are oftentimes so gradually blended that to establish an arbitrary line be- tween them is impossible.
 The coloreds peoples of Africa may first be divided into three classes, each of which has a distinct origin. These are,,. The Northern and Northwestern race, the Western, and the Eastern. Some authorities insist there is still times placed 4the pigmie tribes of cen-
 
 Of the Northern race the Berbers are an excellent example. Their fea- tures are small and regular, their lips IIthin, their 'hairtlong andsstheir fore heads indicate intelligence beyond the ordinary African. They are supposed to have sprung from the Caucasian race.
 The Western race is the fat-nosed, 4hick-hpped negro with which the IIworld is best familiar. The Eastern race are Malays from Madagascar. ftUnder the fourth division are some 4imes placed the pigmy tribes of cen :ittral Africa and the Bushmen of the south.
 5I The Caucasian race may properly be Z divided into two sections: The Hamitic land the Semitic, the former being the Imost important. The Hamitic division may be taken to include the inhab- itants of Somai Land, Gallas, and ] some of the inhabitants of Abyssinia; while the Semitic race may be taken to include the inhabitants of Algeria, s fTripoli, Tunis, certain portions of the Mile valley, the Soudan, the Sahara, and portions of Abyssinia.
 The Mongolian race in Africa shows mo especial divisions, being chiefly composed, as we have said, of Malays from Madagascar who are tainted with negro blood.
 The real negro race is the interest ing one and must be many times sub divided into tribes and clans. The first great general divisions are: The Ban tu, the Guinea negroes, the negroes of dhe equatorial regions and the negroes !. of the Nile. The attempt to separate each of these four divisions into the various tribes which belong to it F would be a task far greater than that of classifying all of the many tribes of American Indians. However, it may be we'll at this point to add that the Hottentot, the Kaffir, the Zulu, the Matabili-aH especially well known to us-belong properly to the fourth di- vision of the negro. They live in South Africa and are at home in the Wilds where the Bushman dwells.
 There are in Africa probably not fewer than 300 separate and distinct

Views on Ambition and

Dyspepsia, wrote Eugene Field, ssoften incapacitates man for endea- vor and sometimes it eXtinguishes the fire of ambition. Field was dyspep- tic himself. Though 8 great man despite this handicap he felt the blighting effects of the disease all his life. Thousands suffer similarly.
 A weak, tired or diseased stomach can't perform the process of digestion It needs rest. If forced to work it will grow constantly weaker. If it gets rest twill lsoon grow strong again. Such a preparation as Kodol Dyspep- sia Cure will give it just such rest. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does the stom- ach's work. 1t digests what you eat. Don't diet.

HAS NADE 4 CONFESSION.
William Strother Confesses to the Murder of A. Dean Cooper
 at s t. Louis.
BROKE DOWN UNDER SWEATING PROCESS
Little by Little Chief of Detectives Wormed Admissions Out of the Cuiprft Until He Finally Com fessed that He Struck the Blow that Caused COoper's Death.

St. Louis, Jan. 26.-William Stroth- CT, the negro bathhouse attendant, has confessed that he murdered his employer, A. Dean Cooper, Wednes- day night. He said he committed the ] deed in drunken passion. The confession was made to Chief of Police Desmond, Saturday morn ing, after two hours questioning.
 It became evident shortly after eight o'clock, when the chief renewed his inquisition, begun Friday morn ing, that St-other was upon the point of breaking down.
 At ten o'clock, the hour for the coroners inquest to open, Strother made the final admission which com pletes the chain and shows him to be the murderer.
 He said that he took the hammer in one hand, lifted it high in the air and brought it down on the head of MT. Cooper, who was asleep on the cot.
 "l don't know why done it," said Strother. 'sI guess I must have been drunk and mad"
 The confession was made to Chiefs Kiely and Desmond and a police stcnographer. The stenographer was ordered to transcribe the com plete cross-eXamination. Strother said he would sign the record.
 Later Chief Desmond said he would immediately send Strother to the coroner's office. Strother had said he would repeat his confession to the coroner's jury.
 Dr. Boogher, assigned by the cor oner to conduct the inquest. when informed of Strother's confession. stated that the inquest would pro- ceed as originally planned and that Strother's confession would be heard at the end of the inquiry.

Butte, Mont., Jan. 26.-A conserva- tive estimate of the number of horses shipped from Montana last year places the number at 100000 The British call for mounts for South Af- rica has resulted in thousands of head of stock leaving the state. The result is that there are now fewer horses in this state than ever be- fore, indeed, there are no large bands, and unless there is a movement of horses to Montana from the south there is certain to be horse famine in this state next year. Before the bottom fell out of the horse market cayuse could be seen on every hill. To-day it is possible to drive for 50 miles across the country without sec ing a horse.
