vooDoO DOCTOR AT WORK
Chanting of Magic Words Supposed
to Reveal the Cause of
illness.

When the doctor arrived the girl
was brought out of the hut and laid
on the ground In front of him Then
he asked for white chicken. After
considerable search one was found
and brought TO him. They are not
common here. He killed II and caught
the blood In a gourd All the mem
bers of the family We're seated on the
ground in a circle. The gourd cup
was passed from one to another. and
each one drank some of the blood. 1t
is very important that no member of
the family be missing. If any one
becomes a Christian that breaks the
circle and greatly interferes with the
fetish"
Next. the doctor rummaged In his
medicine basket and selected such
things as might have some effect on
the spirits" which were plaguing the
girl Bits of filthy cloth, scraps of the
skins of animals, shells, pieces Of bone
and horn, pebbles and sticks were
spread out on the ground. Finally,
some goat horns were found in the col
lection These were laid in a line
ready for use. The girl had com

cause of these must be found and re-
moved. then she would get we'll So
the "diyining" began. Magic words
were cfanted and mumbled over and
over again by the doctor, while he
swayed back and forth and made mys-
tic motions with his head and hands.
All the time he was intently watched
by the circle of relatives on the ground
and the lookers-on from the village.
who stood around them At last IL
was revealed to the diviner that the
cause Of the pains was "caterpillars
crawling under the skin of the arms"
of the girl With knife he then
made cuts in her arms, and over each
one placed one of the goat horns and
drew blood into it. BY this "cupping"
process considerable blood was drawn,
and the girl was made much weaker.
She was now taken back into the hut,
the doctor packed up HIS medicine
basket with great deliberation and
impressiveness, took his pay and de-
parted,
But the girl did not improve.-The

built the "trocha," drove within his

Weyler makes no apologies for the

MAJ. RHoADEs SUCCEEDS BUTT

Maj. Thomas L. Rhoads, who has sue
ceeded the late Maj. Archibald W.
Butt at the presidents chief military
aid, was chosen from the medical
branch of the army service. He is
AZ years old and unmarried, like all
his predecessors. Serving as the pres
ident's aid is one Of the most exacting
occupations known, and for that rea-
son a bachelor is invariably given the
post.
Until recently Major Rhoads served
on the medical staff of the Walter
Reed General hospital, near Bright
wood. a suburb Of Washington city.
His duties there naturally kept him
from mingllng much in the social life
of the capital and restricted the range
OF his acquaintances. But that restTic-
ton has now been removed, and
Major Rhoads is making friends rap
idly. He has always been well liked
In army circles. He is somewhat old
er IN appearance than Major Butt, and
has more gravity of manner. Major
