Tie Power oi the OH Man Over the Black

Not least of the tasks yet to be ac
complished in Cuba, through tho me
dium of an advanced civilization, is tho
elimination of the fanatical tendencies
it ml customs from among the black
population of the Island. While super
stition Is an accepted characteristic of
vhe African race, It seldom oxluts to u
more Inordinate degree than among the
Cuban negroes, where fetishism is as
prevalent as among the most barbarous
krlbos of the Congo region. Tills fa
naticism has existed for centuries,
steadily Increasing with the growth of
tlie negro element, and up to tlie pres
nt tlnio utterly defying all measures
ending to Its extirpation. Even
Spain's otherwise inexorable policy
was unable to cope with a condition
which had its origin in the minds of
these, her lensor subjects, and her fro
liicnt effort? towards Its expulsion only
tggravatcd tho evil. The half-savago

black man might endure with equa
nimity his poitlon as a slave, but his
oppressor as well might aim a blow
at the life of his chattol as at his super
stitions, for the Infiuenco of the latter
over the nvorngo Cuban negro Is au
premo. Brute force has never yet been
productive of mental reform, much less
moral enlightenment. Hence the de
struction, from time to time, by Span
ish offlclalB, of tho tauglblo evidences
of paganism iu Cuba, nnd the physical
castlgation of IU votaries, far from
rectifying tho condition, resulted in a
moral corruptnoss Infinitely worbo than
the original evil.
In a wild spot among the mountains
of Plnar del Rio, which divide thecane
bcaring lands along the north coast of
the province from the great tobacco
district in the south, arc tho ruius of
an ancient fetiBh temple. Years have
passed since the structure was utlllrcd
as a central pluce of worship by tho
slaves from tho distant plantations;
and yet to this day its fast-crumbling
wnlls are Jealously guarded by an agod
Obi man, or native sorcerer. This old
negro wields a strango Influence over
his countrymen for miles around, and
his few wants are never left unattend
ed. On the contrary, should he see lit
to demand It, their utmost penny would
bo promptly brought and placed at his
disposal not from motives of venera
tion, but of abject fear. For to this
crafty old Individual Is attributed tho
ability to bring about all manner of
tribulation upon nil who are so un
fortunate ua to incur his animosity.
However, while by no means averse to
extortion should occasion demand It,
he is generally disposed to coutont
himself with tho barest necessities of
life. Strangers rarely venture to the
remote haunts of this ancient recluse,
but tho occasional traveler who
chances that way must assuredly
gather n strange Impression from tho
desolated temple and Its solitary, mys
terious guardian. And to such a way
farer as happens to speak the language
of the Island, and who has the fore
thought to deposit a few centavos In
tho withered hand of the maglclqn, tho
latter will invariably untold this wlerd
est of stories concerning the place:
In years long, past, the great valleys
on cither side the mountain range were
owned by two brothers, ono of whom
lived In the mldn of his vast cano
fields, and the latter among his rich
tobacco lqrjds on the other, And,
strange though It may seem, the broth
er In the north was at enmity with him
who dwelt ifi, the? south, for, notwith
standing the former's great wealth, he
continually envied the other his pros
perity and rostesalons. At that time
the tomplo on the Intervening mount
ain was n marvelous structure Its
tall, masslvo walls were covered out
side with bright groen planter, while at
each of tho corncrb arose a square
tower, likewise green without. At tho
top of each of the four towers sat a
great' green Image, each of which was

plague. The one to the south repre

plague of drought; that to the west a

north, an eagle hearing the plague of

with the plague of sudden death. Tho
Inner walls of this growsome temple
were tlie color of blood, nsldc from
which thcro wero no embellishments,
neither altar nor shrine. Tho hlgt

tho two great valleys alone knew tho
whereabouts of this temple and tho
source of the dlro nflllctlons which
from time to time smote the Island.
And It was the wont of these people to
assemble on certain nights of each
week In the midst of tho temple to per
form tho rites of their Beet, and to
purchase exemption nnd favors from
tho omnipotent Obi man. For uot only
did their payment of trlbuto render

additional sums they wero enabled to

their enemies who were without tho
pale of tho Obi man's protection.
Now, it happened that the brother
who dwelt In tho valley of the north
became curious regarding tho contin
ued going and coming of his slaves;
wherefore, ho disguised himself ono
night and followed, them to thclrmount
ain retreat. And learning here the
secret of the four plagues, an evil Im
pulse straightway entered his heart to
hnve thorn all. one after another, In
flicted upon his despised brother in the
valley beyond. Therefore, biding his
chance, ho approached tho Obi man
and, first offering his tilbute, after tho
manner of the slaves about him, be-
I
IN CUBA
sought tho sorcerer to send tho pl.iguo
o( drought upon all tho tobacco lauds
to the southward. So prodigious a re
quest, however, was not to he accorded
the same readiness of favor as a minor
plea; therefore, the Old man thought
to put the applicant off by demanding
of him n fee such as no ordinary slave
could command. Hut, much to Ills sur
prise, the required amount was Imme
diately forthcoming; wherefore, tlie
magician commanded the laud crab,
and the drought went fortli ns desired.
When the other hi other beheld the
great disaster that had been visited
upon his lands ho wns sore dlstrcsed.
Moreover, the time Bpeedlly came when
famine brought his household fuco to
faro with want. Yet In tho presence
of his exigencies, he marveled that his
slaves suffered no Ills, and perceiving
that they ennio and went at certain In
tervals ho disguised himself, as had
lis brother, and followed them Into tho
mountains. And it happened that as
ho reached tho temple, and mingled
with tho pcoplo therein tho Old man
was In tho very act of catling upon the
frog to sond tho fever plague Into his
household. And ho looked again and
saw that the slave who desired thin
thing was none other than his brother
disguised llko himself. And when tho
afflicted brother understood tho sourco
of tho deadly Inlltiences that were be
ing brought ngulnst him, ho fled In'
terror from the place, nnd going beforo
the governor of tho Island, revealed to
him tho secret of tho fetish tomplo and
tho baneful evils his brother was hav
ing brought upon him. So the gov
ernor sent fortli his army to destroy
the temple and to bring tho offending
brother to punishment. Now, it so
happened that tho army, in entering
tho country, passed through the perse
cuted brother's lands, upon hearing of
which the evil brother In tho north
exulted greatly, believing It tho result
of tho war plague which ho had be
sought of the Obi man to bring Into
hlB brother's possessions. And that
very night he ngaln set out for tho tem
ple thnt ho might cause his brother to
bo stricken with tho final plaguo of
death. But even as ho reached tho
spot ho perceived that a groat commo
tion prevailed about the temple, for
tho governor's soldiers were In tho net
of demolishing the walls. But as yet
one tower remained, whereon sat tho
green serpent. And tho Obi man, who
had been bound by the soldiers, seeing
the brother from the north approach,
nnd attributing to tho lattcr's evil eyo
the dlro misfortune that hnd come to
pass, spoke his namo to tho serpent.
And straightway tho last plaguo which
the wicked conspirator had intended
should fall upon his brother was visit
ed upon himself, and ho fell dead ho
foro the wrecked temple. Moreover,

There Is a gentleman In this city
who Is fond df telling tho story of how
he got his first start In the world, s.iy.i
the St. Louis Globe-Doniocrat. "Beforo
I was married," ho s.ild, "1 received n
pretty fair salary, spending overy cent
of It as I went nlong. Then I fell In
love, hut, try as I would, I could not
see how two could mnnngo on what had
scarcely been enough for mo. Wo
talked It over, sho and I, n-nd consid
ered the qiiestmn of wnys and mentiH.
Sho thought we cou'.d maiiago with my
salary, and wo were both so desporato
ly In lovo with ono another that wn
wero bravo to the point of rashness,
nnd wero married. I did not caro to
nssuiuo tho responsibility of making
that salary go around, nnd so questions
of finance wero loft to my wlfo. Wo
lived modostly, but very comfortably,
and gradually added protty things to
the little stock of furniture wo had be
gun with, until nt tho ond of five yeara
wo hud all wo had spaco for. Ol
course, my salary had Increased in that
I I mo. but so had the family, and thorn
wero hundreds of doiuaudB for which
wo had mado no allowance when wo
dlscinsod tho subject beforo marriage.
Ono day, In tho eourso of tho dny'a
work, I mado the discovery that, If I
had $1,000 to uso immediately I could
mako sovoral thousands boforo the
week was out. That night I wont
homo dispirited nnd discouraged. I
began to think of tho dog's lite I was
leading, living from day to day with
no prospect of anything bettor ns far
as I could sco, and by tho tlmo I had
reached homo I wns cross and tacit
turn, but n good dinner put rno'fn n
hotter humor, nnd ns wo sat together
In tho dining room after tho children
bail gone to led I told tho dear womnn
about the fortune that wo halt misled
becauso I did not have a paltry $1,000.
'How soon will you need It?' sho nuked,
when I hud finished tho story. I told
her thnt tho money would havo to bo
forthcoming within tho next three
days, and asked her It sho did not wish
sho had a fairy god-mothor to supply
the want. M will have it In thrco days,'
sho replied, confidently, nnd I took trio
answer ns a Joke- and thought llttlo
more about It, but Imagine my 3iirprloo
on tho third day when sho handed ma
a check for tho amount. Thoro had
not boon a year since wo wero married
that sho did not savo at least n couplo
of hundred dollars, nnd bIio had kept
her own counsel nhout It, too, londlng
It In small sums to tha best advantage.
A thousand dollars mny not seem much
to you, but it was a mighty largo Bum
to mo In thoso days. I mado tho In
vestment nnd mado several thousand,
and tho first thing I did was to pay her
back what sho had lent mo. Tho little
bit of capital I thon had was all I need
