GUARD THEIR SHADOWS.
Native Africans Believe They Are q
Part of Themselves.

The shadow is the recognized portion
Of man among modern African peoples.
In West Africa the natives told DIR.
Nassau that it was possible for a hu-
man being to have his shadow stolen
or otherwise lost and for him to exist
In a diseased or dying state In this
case his body would cast no shadow
The same authority says there is a
widespread belief among the natives
In dual soul which consists Of a spir-
il which. us far as is known. lives for
ever in the world Of spirits. and a
shadow which for an uncertain length
Of time hovers around the mortal re-
mains
Here we seem to have confusion be
tween the spirit body and the shadow
OF a man
The shadow. according to Miss Kings
ley is one Of the four souls OF man.
She noticed that men would march hap
PLY enough through the forest or grass
land on a blazing morning, but when
they came to "A piece of open ground
they would 20 around it, not across it.
because they we're afraid OF losing
their shadow They only do this at
nOOntime
On asking some Bakwiri why they
were not anxious about losing their
souls at night time, she was told that
at night all shadows lay down in the
shadow OF the great God and SO be
came stronger Had she not noticed
how long and strong the shadows OF
men. trees aud mountains were in the
morning: Murders are sometimes com
mitted secretly by driving a nail or u
knife into mans shadow From DR..

life of whom Roosevelt was jealous
while in the White house. That was
the remark often heard during the last
days of Roosevelt in Washington, and
the way that Roosevelt has double
crossed the Wisconsin politician, whose
absorption of what r. r. considered an
undue amount Of the spotlight, caused
the aforesaid jealousy, VIGOROUSLY
known and understood in Washington,
gives LaFollette good cause for retaili-
ating on the Bull Moose. LaFollette
was the original Insurgent of the
senate. His methods did not suit
Roosevelt when the latter was in the
White house, and the relations between
the men were not at all cordial.
The Globe-Democrat' correspondent
might have added that during the per-
iod Col. Roosevelt occupied the White
house, while Mr.. LaFollette was gov
ernor of Wisconsin or United States
senator, there is not thing which the
colonel did that was not inimical TO

Here is something more that the
Globe-Democrat' s correspondent writes:
1T will be recalled that an attempt
was made by Pinchot and Garfield at a
conversation congress meeting in st.
Paul to launch a third party, with La
Toilette at its head. 1t will also be re-
called as wildly that Theodore Roose-
welt patronizingly said; No, no, boys,
not yet; don't go that far This was
substantially what he told his former
tennis cabinet friends, and it stopped
the third party movement at the time.
1t also gave the LaFollette boom a set
back. Roosevelt waited, however, I'M
til LaFollette and his friends had &C.
CURED something of a following in con
gress and in the country, and then
came out as the only simon-pure Pro
gressive and demanded the leadership
Of the new movement, which he un-
doubtedly overestimated at the time he
launched his boom for the presidential
nomination by the Republican national
convention.

course in discouraging the idea Of form.

ported that Senator LaFoll1tte had in

The Milwaukee Journal is one Of the

While we cannot agree with everything
it says a whole lot Of its utterances and
opinions are sensible and praiseworthy,
among them this:
The system of pensioning good
mothers of dependent children, enacted
into law last year by the Illinois legis-
lature, is such a great success in its
operation that it suggests revolutionary
methods Of charity everywhere, and
our state should not be the last, but
rather among the first, to adopt this
saving method of saving children.
1.-The old, inhuman worn-out, i'm
practical method is TO take children
away from their mothers and send them
to institutions at an expense to tax
payers Of three times what it takes to
pay the mothers to take care Of their
own homes. The mothers heart is
