It seemed a. n the duck was ny

sky was aglow.
"Oh, oh, oh!" said little Anne, so
surprised that she almost tumbled
of, for now the duck had down
right inside the pink cloud. and
Anne saw that 1t was not . cloud
at all, but a garden full Of pink
flowers But these flowers did not
grow in tho ground or within flower
pots, but same from great, shining
pink shells.

BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

New York City. Jan. 12.-"She's a.
Witch" yelled a woman in New
York court room not long ago. and to
tho surprise OF tho judge and some OF
tho spectators, other women took up
tho cry. The fact was suddenly re-
vealcd that numbers of persons in
the most civilized city in America firm
ly believed in the power OF the evil
eye. and that a baby had lost tho use
of it's legs because IL had been cursed
by "a woman supposed to havo that
power.
The belief in witchcrsft is supposed
to have persisted in this enlightened
country a little over 200 years ago.
shortly after tho witchcraft persecu-
tions which took place in Salem in the
18th century, a whole literature against
tho belief in witches spranE into being
1t began with books which admitted
that the devil was dangerous fellow
and apt to tamper with human destiny.
but which denied that hc could do It
thru the medium of witches. Such ar
guments as this were followed by 9TH
ers moro and moro radical in tone.
until finally tho most intelligent came
out fatty for the bold idea that there
was nothing in any of these 'superna-
tural ideas.
These bold intoilcctuais were at first
regarded askance. but they gradually
.
witches became ashamed to acknow-
ledge the fact Most important of all,
the church and the law no longer took
official cognizance of witches. as both
had done before the year 100. Witch
craft as "A crime recognized by the
statutes ceased to exist.
RELIEF STILL ALIVE
But tho belief in wi,chcraft by no
means ceased, as the New York ladies
recently demonstrated. Literal belief
in witches who commune with the
devil and cast superns tural spells ia
still common to large part of tho hui
man race. 1t is widely scattered
among the lower peasantry of Europe.
and by them is imported into the Uni
ted States with every bostlosd of i'm
migrants. Furthermore. II still flour
ishes as an indigenous product in
many sections of this country. Down
in the southwest, for example. Mexi-
cans and Indians still believe in 1t
implicitly. and to some extent openly.
A Mexican woman in southwestern
town has been known to spit In the
eye of n baby in public, and explain
that she did IL to protect the child from
tho curse OF "A witch who was looking
at IT.
Belief in witchcraft as literal and
crude as is indicated by this incident,
and that of the New York court room,
may be comparatively rare, or at least

ARE THERE WITCHES STILL?

limited TO q few very ignorant classes
of the population. But the essentials
of witchcraft arc still widely prevalent.
These essentials are ignorance and tho
crcdulity that always goes with II, and
persons who are anxious to turn both
to their own advantage.
By his belief in witchcrsft as in
fairies, ghosts and other supernatural
phenomena. the ignorant man is pri-
marily expressing n feeling that there
are forces in tho universe beyond his
ken. This is n sound feeling. When
you como right down to 1t, no one can
with certainty deny the existence of
supernatural forces. Tho universe tx
infinite and mysterious. Tho dogmatic
scientist who asserts that thero is
nothing beyond what he can provo by
experiment has no way OF proving
that he is right.
The sophisticated and educated man
may admit this. but he also realizes
that IL there arc supernatural forces.
in tho nature of the case II is impos-
siblo to understand them. Ho there
fore confines his mental operations to
tho world that he Is ablc to appre-
hend with his mind and his senses, and
refuses to concern himself about tho
supernatural on the ground that 1t is
essentially unknowable.
PSYCHOLOGY OF SUPERSTITION
But this position is possible only to
a mind somewhat trained and logical
Tho unframed mind thinks not in
terms of logic but OF emotions and
images. In other wards, the ignorant
man is vaguely aware that there is
a supernatural world, and ho necessar-
lily conceiyes of this world in emotional |
and Imaginative terms. As sure as he
thinks about the matter at all. ho Is
SCARED of ghosts. or has Visions of
witches or fairies or hobgoblins or
something. He or she is generally a
hardworking person. drugged by rou-
tine, and therefore docs not think of
the matter much But that sense OF
the supernatural is always there. II Is
always ready to flare up II 1t has
chance. II usually cherishes in secret
some sort of delusiou. How many per
sons can YOU md among your acquain
tances who do not believe in any sort
of superstition?
Tho great army of those who believe
they communicate with the dead by
means of n ouiia board, and those who
support our great army of fortune tel
lers in luxurious case. are the modern
descendants of tho witchburners. Some
of them are half-ashamed Of their sU-
perstition and some are proudly in
earnest about It. But in all an in
stinctive belief in tho supernatural
combined with a desire to give the SUI
pernatural somo definite form and
character, is at the root of IT. II is

very noticeable that women arc more
prone to these superstitions than men
and tho reason is that women have
more leisure. and arc therefore moro
cognizant OF the mystic element in life.
They have more time to think about
II.
This belief in tho supernatural as
an abstraction is. as we said, inevita-
BILE. There is something OF it in every
man. IT is the root of his religious
sense. 1t is his instructive recognition
of the fact that finite mind cannot
possibly comprehend an infinite uni
verse-that there arc vast areas of cx-
istcnce which transcend the powers OF
the human mind, and are beyond all
laws which 1t can discover.
Pride AND SUPERSTITION
1t is tho tendency to manufacture
this mystic sense into definite images
which does the damage. Man is full
of troubles which are due to tho mis-
cradle precariousness OF human lifo
coupled with the remarkable stupidity
of human beings. But man. being n
proud animal. hates to admit that his
troubles are due to the fact that he
is merely unfortunate and stupid. The
child who burns his hand docs not
blanc his own stupidity. Ho blames
tho stove, endows it with a malignant
spirit. and wants i. punished. Tho
savage who has no luck hunting docs
not alone blanc his own laziness and
lack OF cunning. lie blames the gods
and makes "A prayer to them. Tho be-
lever in witchcraft likewise refuses
to put the blame for his troubles where
IL belongs on himself Instead he
picks out some ncighbor whom he en-
vies or dislikcs and accuses that per
son of being witch and in league
with the devil. Thus he at once dig
nifcs his own misfortunes and gets
even with an enemy.
And another clement enters into tho
matter here. There arc usually leaders
of the community who arc to some ex-
tent to blame for tho misfortunes Of
its members. and they arc only too
glad to have tho blame saddled on
some supernatural force. Hence the
sanction which witchcraft long re.
coivcd from tho law and other high
institutions.
II is easy TO see how tho psychology
icsl essentials of witchcraft still work
among us All OF our willingness to
believe in hugaboos conjured by our
politicians is based on the same credul-
ity. the same ignorance. and the same
desire to find dramatic cause for
troubles which arc really due to our
own stupidity more than to anything
else. Tho tendency to blanc all our
economic troubles on ''prohteers".
Reds. and other such half mythical
malefactors. is the same tendency
that made withohcraft popular with
our ancestors.

GHASTLY STORY BROUGHT BACK
 BY BISBEE MAN
Alleged Slayer Of Constable A. E. Sheppard Is Accused
 Of Second Outrage

ghastly tale Of murder was brought 10 Bisbee last night by John Dugan of the Hennessy Undertakins Company. who returned from a trip into the Ajo mountains in Mexico to get the body of Viviana Cordova, Mexican COW puncher employed by Prank Hillman. well known cattle man of this section
 Dugan left Bisbee Thursday neon and. was joined at Naco by Hillman. A number or COW punchers had been sent on ahead. on horseback to bring the body down rom the lonely cabin in the mountains to some point on the road accessible by auto.
 Dugan and Hialman reached the neishborhCod Of the cabin Thursday night, and finding that the cOwpunch- CTS had not reached the place. forced the ear over impossible roads to get as near as they could.
 Arriving at the cabin they found that Coriova had been shot through the back or the head, and that his body had then been dragged by a rope from horse. to a hole a short distance off, where il was partly bur jed. It appeared that the lone COW puncher had been shot rom through the window, by an aSssilant who crept up from outside.
 Cordova had been employed by Hill man for many years, and was hlghIy trusted and va.ued by him. He lived alone in the little cabin in the mouns tains, looking after the cattle in that section. Hillman went to great lengths to return the body to the fam fly at Naco, Sonora, where burial vii, take place.
 According to Mexican officers the man who killed CoTdova is vel known bad man, Ylano CostiIlo b. name. who, they say, is known to have killed three or four men His attack on Cordova is said to have been in- spired by the fact that Cordova was present at one of his killings, and never hesitated to speak against it. CoStilo is the man whom local police officers were seeking a few weeks ago at Naco in connection with the mur- der here of Constable A E. Sheppard.
