The Rain Ju-Ju

When a farm in the bush districts OF
West Africa has been prepared for sow
ing, writes p. A. Talbot in the Wide
World magazine. the owner cannot plant
vans until some rain has fallen, so he
goes to the priest of the great rain Ju-1u
and asks him to make the rain fall. Mem
bers of a cult called Ekuri 1bolSk nave
special power in this direction. At the
time Of the new moon they go forth into
the bush and gather magic leaves. These
they bring home and carefully dry in
bundles. When rain is needed. they cut
the leaves open and either pour water
upon them out of a calabash or lay them
to soak in a bowl of water. Then, they
believe, 1t will surely rain.
Early in 1909, a man near Obutong was
shown a famous rain ju-ju. and told that
II was so powerful that rain would fail
even at the hight of the dry season if GER
tain rites We're performed before it. He
was a skeptical soul, for no sooner had he
heard than, in a spirit Of Lravado, he
seized the ju-ju and performed the rites.
Unfortunately, the rest of the season was
wet enough to strengthen belief, even
among the most doubling. In the words
VT the Ekoi. AN elephant of rain fell this
year The foolhardy man paid dearly
for his kpeticisin-probably at the hands
of the indignant owners of the ruined
farm-for he disappeared, and no trace OF
him has ever been found.

well, he's an agent OF something for

COST OF YACHTING
SUPREMACY RUNS TO
FL HALF A MILLION NOW

One should realize how the cost Of
our yachting supremacy is mounting
in leaps and bounds. In the early days
boats were not especially built for the
Americas cup race. In fact, the
Countess of Dufferin back in &c. was
the first boat thus specially built, and
she probably cost about $4,000, On
cur own side. the Pocahontas, in 81,
was the first boat that was admittedly
constructed for this race, but by the
middle of the SOS boats were being
built and designed solely for the at
tack and defense of this cup. James
Gordon Bennett and Mr.. Douglass
put I'D something like $4,000 for the
Priscilla. and in 1886 the Maytlower
cost Gen. Paine we'll over $4,000. The
Thistle and M2ytlower probably cost
$4,000. but in 1898 the expense of
Lord Dunrayen ran up to probably
$3.50, 900, and the cost of the boats
built for the defense began to go up
in like measure. By 1899. when Lip
ton essayed his first Shamrock close
friend of his says that the whole trans.
action cost him close to 100000. Our
defense in that year must have cost
well over 100000, and now race
really means an expenditure of at
least half a million dollars.

On the probable strength of the serv-
ice entry in the interisland champion
shios this year. The strongest combi-
nation that can be drawn from the
two mounted regiments at Schotieid,
the 18th Cavalry ard the 1st Field Ar
tillery, win face the Oahu four, and
this army combination will be mount

"HE CAN HAVE MY JOB"

This story is related by the presi
dent of the State Sunday School As,
sociation of South Dakota:
In an Indiana town there were
three churches and one saloon. The
people decided to do all they could
to vote the town dry at coming cleo.
ton, and called a great mass meet.
ing of the Christian people to mar
out plan of campaign. A large
crowd gathered and the. subject was
discussed pro and con. A very clear
and concise plan of action was de-
cided upon and an open siege inaug-
urated against the one citadel of the
liquor traffic in the town.
Just before adjournment there came
down the aisle an elderly man; well
dressed, even courtly in appearance
and manner. He asked for the privi-
lege of speaking a moment and the
request was granted. Facing the au-
dience, he said: 81 do not have to tell
many of the people here tonight who
am. Most of you recognize me as
the saloonkeeDer whose business you
have planned to attack tonight. You
see I'm an old man-this has been
my occupation for years, and know
no other job. If you vote this town
dry you will ruin an old man when
he is at an age where he cannot pos
slbly take up new business. If you
will withdraw your effort from this
campaign, I'll promise to run a first
class saloon and observe every re-
striction of law. l promise 1t be-
cause | haven't any other Job if Won
persist I'M your campaign and it ter
inmates successfully"
After the saleonkeeper had fin
ished speaking and returned to his
seat there came down the aisle a mod
est little woman, plainly dressed
who also asked to say a word, Her
request was also granted. She said.
Il do not have to tell you tonight who
/ am. You know me as the washer
woman in your village-the woman
who does six washings and four IRON
lngs every week. do this to SUM-
port nv children and keep up nv
home: ! have to do it because nv
husband spends his earnings at that
mans saloon. Now If you Christian
people will work so as to vote this
town dry. thereby saving to our home
and children the money that rightful-
" belongs there for its support win
be very glad to let this saloonkeeper
have my job
