vO0DOO 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 a white chicken. After
considerable search one was found
and brought to him. They are not
common here. He killed it and caught
the blood in a gourd. All the mem
bers of the family were 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 plagulng 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

ready for use. The girl had COM
planned OF pains In her arms. The
cause of these must be found and re-
moved, then she would get well. So
the "divining" began. Magic words
were chanted 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 u
was revealed to the diviner that the
cause OF the pains was "caterpillars
crawling under the skin OF the arms"
OF the girl. With a 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 .deliberatfon and
impressiveness. took his pay and de-
parted.
But the girl die not improve.-The
Christian Herald.

The young man whipped out his re-
serve supply. and In trice 1t was a
bandage on the chauffeur's hand. The
chauffeur decided that the young wom-
an was even nicer than the young
man. But he could not settle on a way
to say 1t. So he said nothing, ana
grinned sheepishfy as he said II.
The young man named Harry was
wondering how they were to proceed.
He had already studied the region
with dismay, when the girl resolved:
We'll have to take another taxi,
Harry"
Yes, Marjorie, but we can't take II
till we get It,"
You might walt here all night wit
out ketchin' glimp' OF one," the
chauffeur ventured. II come this way
because you wanted me to take a
short cut"
Its the longest short cut ever
saw" the young man sighed, as he
gazed this way and that.
The place OF their shipwreck was so
deserted that not even a crowd had

They were In a dead world OF granite
warehouses. Wholesale stores and fac
tories, all locked and forbidding, and
full OF silent gloom.
In the daytime this was big trade
artery of Chicago, and all day long 1t
was thunderous with trucks and COM
merce. At night 1t was Pompeii, so
utterly abandoned that the night
watchmen rarely slept outside. and
no footpad found 1t worth while to
set up shop.
The three castaways stared every
which way, and every which way was
peace. The ghost OF a pedestrian or
two hurried by In the far distance.
A cat or two went furtively I'm search
OF warfare or romance. The lamp
posts stretched on and on In both d.
rections in two forevers.
In the faraway there was a muf-
fed rumble and the faint clang of a
bell. Somewhere street car was
humping along its rails.
"Our only hope" said Harry. Come
along, Marjorie"
He handed the chauffeur five dollars
as a poultice to his wounds. tucked
the girl under one arm and the dog
basket under the other, and set out,
calling back to the chauffeur:
Good night"
Good night" the girl called back.
Good night" the chauffeur echoed
He stood watching them with the ten
der gaze that even a chauffeur may
feel for young love Fastening to a
honeymoon.
He stood beaming So till their foot
steps died in the silence. Then he
turned back to the chaotic remnants
of his machine. He worked at it hope
lessly for some time, before he had
reason to look within. There he
found the handbags and suitcases, um-
brellas and other equipment. He ran
to the corner to call after the owners.
They were as absent OF body as they
had been absent OF mind

policeman sauntered that way like a

garage for wagon and wrecking

Ii was close on midnight before he
reached the number his fares had

The clergyman drowsily murmured:

Declares That Every Citizen Should
vie in Being Foremost In Forming
a Part of the Legion of Honor
to Free the Republic.

Havana.-The gravity of the situa-

Issuance late Thursday night by Pres
ident Gomez of a proclamation to the
Cuban people urging them to arm and
organize in the face of the national
peril. The president expresses the
hope that congress will vote a credit
to cover the extraordinary military
preparations-this in addition to the
81, 900, 600 already voted. He says in
part:
THE executive hopes that congress
will vote a credit large enough to
place on a war footing contingent
forces usfficient to crush rapidly the
tempest of frenzied passions which
some criminals and their allies in
Oriente have Embossed on Cuba.
Il must arm and organize imme-
diately the country for its defense,
not only in the exercise of my right,
but as my duty. Every citizen should
vie in being foremost In forming a
part of the legion OF honor to free the
republic from the barabarous attack
made on it. To this destructive as
sault the government will oppose the
force of a nation organized, which
will proceed manfully to restore peace
for the sake of the salvation of the
republic and the honor of the nation"
