Land of Contrasts Where Mis-
Sionaries and Witch Doctors
Strive Constantly.
BY EDWARD JAMESON.

Special Gable to The Tribune.
= AGOS, West Africa, September 3d.
White travellers in West Africa are
unfaiIingly struck by the curious
AA forms of worship adopted by the
superstitious natives. They illus
trate the truth OF the statement that
every human being acknowledges In his
heart some sort of worship to a deity:
but the varieties in the dark continent
are queer indeed.
Take stroll through any African
town or village and you will notice a
score Of little thatched huts with mud
floors on which are thrown @ heap OF
ordinary stones, These huts are the
fetish houses To which the natives go
and salaam and ask their gods for va
rious blessings after leaving offerings OF
beads. yams and nuts.
In some parts Of Africa they even Wor-
ship smallpox. The natives treat the in
fccted patient with great reverence and
even rub their faces on his body TO OBJ
ministrators naturally regard this form
OF worship sternly. Only the other day

Believe in Ju-Ju.
The belief the native has In the eff
cacy of ju-ju or Witchcraft is touch
ing In the extreme Take the case OF
man who believes his wife is not as
faithful TO him she should be. He
promptly proceeds TO tho witch doctor
and on payment OF a fee varying In
amount according to the required Sc
verify of the spell requests that tu-ju
shall be put on his bated rival When
ono of these rivals dies. from a dose of
ground glass or the, thousand and one

out with the strlctest regard to the ap-
peaSlng OF the gods Supposing a man
dies out in the bush. His comrades strap
his corpse to n plank and hoist 1t onto
the head of one of their number, who
loads them In procession to his home
with much beating OF tom toms and yell

at the dead mans hut. the body is buried
under the floor and all the relations and

Included in these celebrations there is
much firing OF guns and beating of drums
