SUPERSTITION IN THE CONGO
Natives Invariably make Charms"
Before They Set Out on
Hunting Expedition.

Nearly everything a Congo native
does is done at the dictation of super
stltion. Witch doctors and their
strange and somewhat horrible "medi-
cine are in demand for all sorts of
curious things. Their charms are
worked for everything from curing
sickness to bringing bad fortune upon
an enemy. There may be a demand
that a curse be removed from a whole
town, or perhaps a curse is TO be laid
upon a single enemy.
One of the least unpleasant and
most innocent of charms is that which
Is worked" to invoke good luck in

quality that is engaging.

is not always to be easily found.
Therefore when a hunter whose Prov
ess is admired and envied is about to
die a curious thing happens. just
before he expires Il few threads are
drawn from his loin cloth These
threads are tied about the arms of
young man. This young man then has
a specific duty in life and certain very
definite obligations.
He superintends the burial of the
mighty hunter. Then. whenever the
hunters of his neighborhood are about
to set out the young man goes with
them to the mighty hunters grave.
He kneels with his face toward the
hunters and his back to the grave. The
hunters approach on hands and knees
until close, then they dance about the
young man and the grave to the rub-a-
dub of "charmed" drum. Palm wine
is poured over the grave, while each
hunter drinks to the departed
A bit of the mud formed of the wine

DAVY CROCKETT, THE HERO OF
THE ALAMO

BE sure you're right, then go
ahead" was Davy Crocketts motto.
He fought for the right, then went
ahead 10 glorious death in the Ala
mo. Crockett was born in Tennessee
in 1856. He came of fighting stock
for his father, a tavern keeper, had
been a soldier I'm the Revolution.
Young Crockett's early years were
spent in roaming the Tennessee
woods, hunting. He became re
nowned bear hunter, a fame which he
shared with his favorite rifle, "Old
Betsy"
When the Greek Indians went on the
war path in 1913 Crockett tossed "Old
Betsy on his shoulder and marched
away to fight the Indians. He served
as a scout under Gen. Andrew Jackson
and was in the great Battle of Toho-
pekn when "Old Hickory" defeated
Weatherford's warriors.
After the Creek war was over Davy
returned to Tennessee and entered
politics. From magistrate he rose To
state legislator and next the renowned
bear hunter and scout was sent to
congress where he served two terms
In February, 1896, Davy with y of his
Tennessee friends arrived at the Mis-
sion del Alamo where Col. William
Travis with little army of less than
200 men was defying the Mexican die
tator, Santa Anna.
Santa Anna had force Of 5000
men. and although the Texans had
chance to escape before this over
whelming army cut off their retreat,
they refused TO do so. The Mexican
general surrounded the rude little
adobe fort. His demand for its sur
render was met with scorn. Then he
raised the red flag which meant mo
quarter" and attacked.
The long rifles of the Texans moved
down the Mexican soldiers driven to
the attack on March 6 Santa Anna
prepared for a grand assault Twenty
five hundred picked men were detailed
TO be hurled against the fort. The
first assault was beaten back with
heavy loss 4 second failed but In
the third desperate attempt the Mexi-
cans broke into the fort.
After thar the fighting was hand 10

men went down. AT last only Davy
was left. "Old Betsy" fired her last
shot. Then Crockett seized her by the
barrel and swung her about his head
There was n short struggle, "Old

When Lewis and Clark visited the
Hidalsa Indians In North Dakota on
their great exploring trip west, they
found a Shoshone girl living with that
tribe. At the age of five she had been
captured from her people by Hidatsa
war party. When she was fourteen
years old, Toussaint Charbanneau. n
French-Canadian trapper won her
from her captor in game of hide

year
The Bird Woman wished to return
to her people and Lewis and Clark
engaged Charbonneau and his wife as
interpreters to the Indians they would
meet. During the winter of 1905 SAGA
gawea gave birth to a son, whom she
called Baptiste, and this tiny papoosc
went with his dauntless mother
through all the hardships which the
explorers afterward endured. He was
strapped on Sacagawea's back one day
when the clumsy Charbanneau upset
one of the boats containing the
precious instruments and records of
the party. The Bird Woman at once
sprang overheard into the muddy
stream and rescued them.
More than once Sacagawea proved
her value to the explorers. Far up the
river when the forest and snow baf-
fed her companions and they were
lost, the homing instinct of the In
dian girl led her on and she guided
them safely to her people. The chief
Hho welcomed them proved to be SAGA
gawea's brother, who was overioyed
to see his lost sister again. He sold
the white men much-needed horses
and would have stolen them back, had
not the Bird Woman betrayed the plot
to Captain Lewis.
Sacagawea remained with Lewis
and Clark until they reached the Pa
cifc. On their return journey she
stopped with her people, the Sho-
shones, and there she spent the re-
mainder of her days. She died on the
Wind River reservation In Wyoming
April 9, 1894, almost a hundred years
of age.
