the plague. He soon settled the

HOW "HOODOO DOCTOR" TREATS
HIS PATIENTS.
Negro People Meetly Are Firm Believ
ers In His Power to Save from
Effects ef Being Con-
juredby Enemy.
Other doctors may cure you If you
are 'stricken with some disease, but
there Is only one doctor who crn cure
you if you are really "hoodooed."
The "hoodoo doctor" is a tall, gaunt
and cadaverous looking negro with a
wealth of long wavy hair, and he Uvea
in the West side, says the Kansas City
Star. He Is a familiar figure on the
atreeta of both cities, and invariably
carries a little black hand satchel.
The hoodoo doctor la held in awe by
nine-tenths of the negro population
and his aervicea are in demand by the
people of his race.
"Ton may laugh at us for believing
wourlrodoobocfor" said one colored
woman, 'bat what is the difference be
tween aim and the divine healers of
white folkar . .- -.
The negro people, or at least a great
majority of them, are firm believers in
the power of the evil spirit and go so
far aa to credit some of their race with
the power to "conjure" an enemy, or

upon the evQ sptrita to deunrt in

victfm of the dread hoodoo ie darken
ed. The hoodoo doctor then proceeda
to rub hm patient always in the dark
and, the evil spirits, he robe out of n
conjured patient are said to hi mar
velous in else and hideous to behold.
After the rubbing process is over the
hoodoo doctor pueparea a concoction
of hard boiled eggs, fresh grass la sum
mer or the dried article In winter, n
handful of twigs and several other
mysterious and more ,pr. less unpala
table ingredients, the concoction a se
cretiknown only to the hoodoo doctor.
This he feeds in tablespoon doses un
til he is assured that the work of the
conjurer has been destroyed and his
patient free from all the wiles to
which victims of the evil spirit are
heirs.
Once a negro has been hoodooed he
is apt to have a recurrent attack at
any time, alwaya being more or less
susceptible to the wicked conjurer.
Thus is the hoodoo doctor in such
great demand. ,
"People can be hoodooed In different
ways," said the hoodoo doctor. They
can be 'fixed' so they can amount to
anything or have any success in busi
ness or love or be able to keep in fair
ly good health, and they Just got to
get'that hoodoo out of 'em before they
ever win be any good. That's what'a
the matter with lota of the white folks'
failures, only they think they are too
smart to bother with the hoodoo doctor."
SCULPTURE OF THE INDIAN.
Only Three Specimens ef Le'e Reek

One of the three known examples hi

Iowa falls has been entirely ebUterat

recorded some Important event la the
history of the aborigines being left,
saya the Boston -Herald. The sculp
ture was n favorite subject of etsemv
alon for antiqaartana
much controversy as to the
and time in which it was made. When
first discovered it consisted of a group
of 1C or 18 variously ornamented
heads plainly cut into the rocks. The
main piece of work wan ahown on n
fiat apace about IS feet wide and atx
feet high and consisted of four bases.
each surmounted with a pair of rays
aad humerona heada without any dec
oration. On the -other reck- wan one
targe head with at least eight rays,
this head being 14 inches across at
the forehead. " There may have been
originally also an useriptlon, but if
so it had become obliterated by the
action of the water years ago. The
markings were supposed to have rep
resented a victory at or near Bellows
falls by four bands and their chiefs
under one principal chief. The fact
that the action of the water has re
moved what was discovered on the
rocka ltt) years or so ago Indicates
to not a few that much more ef the
record must have

clock la a foreign curiosity. Instead,
therefore of contenting himself with
one good clock, he wUl have, perhaps,
