Wobeh's women
and children reassem
bled in their kitchen
and resumed their
mournful chant. This
is a performance in
which the women of
West Afiica are very
accomplished and Wo
beh's family was
throng crowding each other in their
efforts to watch every movement.
When it finally ceased its struggles
there wss .1 chorus of "Ah'." followed
by some excited talking. It was ex
plained to me that when a chicken
dies with its feet in tbc air it is a
sign that the nephew has been true
to the king and bar. not meddled with
his women. In this case the chicken
had died on its aide.
Then another chicken was brought
Tor another nephew to kill. It like
wise died on its side and there was
another chorus of -xcited grunts. A
third chicken was killed by a niece,
with the same result: but the fourth,
killed by another niece, stopped with
its feet in the air. The crowd went
wild, caught up the girl and marched
around the town with her on their
shoulders. Wobeli had one relatic
that had been true.
This ceremony was followed an
hour or two later by that of eating
the chickens, together with rice
cooked in yellow palm oil. The food
was placed at the head of the grave
and Wobeh's head wife presided over
the pot. All the children squatted
about on the grae and the otter rel
atives were assembled around it.
King Sow had a good many remarks
to make before he called up the eld
est son and motioned for him to take
the nalmful of rice which the widow
had held out. Before eating it he made certain
promises relative to peace in the family. Each of
the relatives was called out in turn and required
to go through the same performance. Old King
Sow kept his ears open and whenever he waa
not ?ati?hd with a given promise he arosi and
ciofs questioned the relative like a country law
yer until he made him promise what he wanted.
Farts of this ceremony were exciting: at times;
there were outbursts of laughter at one of Sow's

Secretly and in the dead or night he was car
ried back into the hurt to an obscure "hair
town" called Goomah. no woman being allowed
to know his whereabouts. Courtesy to the mul
lah and the "sand cutter" demanded that Wobeh
should promptly pcS into the unknown, but the
old man held on to life with his characteristic
tenacity. It was several weeks before the news
was quietly brought to Totoquelli that its found
er was dead. The information was passed on
to lioyoio and King Sow came over to take
charge of the town until all its palaers were
settled.
The funeral of an African chief follows the
law or the bush implicitly, but the details vary
in different parts of the west coast. The pro
ceedings in this case extended over a period of
about three weeks.
Fiist Wobeh's body was lemoved from the
hut where he had died and placed in an open
kitchen in Goomah. These kitchens are merely
huge huts without walls, or. rather, with walls
about three feet high. The roof is of thatch and
the floor of c'ay. In the center of one of these
kits hens a shallow graie was dug. Then the
reet were bound together, the arms were extend
ed down the body and the hands bound together
by means of a strong stick placed between
hands and feet, the body was placed in the grave
and lightly etnered. After it had lain there for
two day it was taken up by night and carried to
Totoquelli, where it was again placed in a shal
low grave, but in a hut where no woman could
bring ill luek by looking upon it. The law of the
uusli shuts out all women from any- approach to
the dead. Then the family and the town began
to make leady for the obsequies, formal notices
were sent out to all the big kings within two
days' walk, in order that they might come (with
gifts) and assist Wobeh's spirit into rest.
The funeral continued for eight days. First
the body was again lifted from t-he grave and
Maid out" in an open kitchen carefully screened.
The king's women weie then segrer.ted in an
other kitchen and inti listed with the duty of
making great lamentation. Then the head of the
"devil bush"- he is a great functionary in West
Africa came into the illage to announce the
Expectation. king's death a performance on a par with the
lb Haugbter Father. I wish you'd formal notification then to a nresidential nonii-
.vir. ioMoy will cc i,y a committee from a national comention.
The "devil bush" is a soit of combination of se-
ciet society and a boys" boarding school. It is a
I collection of huts hidden away in the bush which
1 women must avoid or pay the penalty of death.
Here are collected most or the boys of the com-
miiuity and they remain in seclusion tor a period
varying from tluee to six years, being taught
some sense and much nonsense. The grip of su
perstition is so strong that the head of the bush
becomes a giatman in the tribe and death is the
penalty for any woman who looks upon his face.
Totoquelli's "devil" pieceded his eiti".nce into
the town by an unearthly yell, which was the
signal for all -the women and girls (and eery
man not a member of the "de.il bush") to se
crete themselves. Then with a series of ventril
oquistic yells he came into the center of the
town, announced the death of Wobeli. ordered
the funeral to proceed and anished into the

large enough to he
heard. Meanwhile for
two days and nights
the men of the town
made it lively for the
spirits of evil that
were supposed to be
hovering in the bush
that surrounds the vil
lage. Guns heavily
charged with powder
were fired at intervals
throughout the entire
time, causing the evil shapes to take to flight.
Most of the night was given over to the beating
of drums, the women and younger men dancing
in procession all over town.
When night closed in on the scene aud the
moon began to shed its soft light through hazy
clouds the night's dancing began. There was no
undercurrent of sadness in it; everybody was lit
erally out for a good time. The dancers were
drummed up in groups, the drummers shuffling
all through the town to organize a piocession. A
second crowd was gathered under the leadership
of a man with a string instrument made from a
calabash, and eventually a third group tmuflled
along to the tune of a calabash stiung with iron
rings, the sound being that or a gourd half filled
with dried peas.
The succeeding day was one of the most
eventful of all. Ilefore sunrise the 'men of the
town brought large stones to the grave and
walled it in, making an inclosure about six feet
wide and 10 feet long. Dozens of empty gin
bottles were brought and placed all around the
grave a very common custom on this coast. The
mound was then leveled down and the entile
inclosure covered with stones and wet sand. At
the head they placed a couple of small ivory
tusks, a lice bowl containing Wobeh's siher ring
and some kola nuts, two pitchers and a .small
brass kettle. Acioss these was laid an unsheath
ed sword. The fixing of the grave was not com
pleted until they had brought a small jug of
ium and penned a little of it into each vessel.
The jrbirst of Wobeh's spirit was apparently more
easily quenched than had been that of the man
in life and this enabled the men about the
grae to put the gi eater part of the rum to bet
ter use.
After the grave had been propeily arranged
the town assembled to witness the significant
cei oniony of killing the white chicken. The
principal nephew of the late king knelt on the
grae and held the chicken's head aboe Wobeh's
head. King Sow made a long speech and then
different members of Wobeh's family- gave the
chicken messages to fake to his spirit. This
pait of the ceremony was very solemn and ini
ptessive. It was clear that they implicitly be
lieved tiiat their messages would reach their des
tination. Then the nephew pulled off the chicken's head
and threw the body down on the grave. Curi
ously enough, the headies3 chicken fluttered
around until it reached the head of the grave
and then seemed to be trying to bore its way
down to the king. It then fluttered away, the
A&XTACr DSTJetT0A ? S-OOO
jokes; very little of it was sad or pathetic. When
the chief widow's turn came there was pathos in
her voice, though she gave no other sign of grief.
Turning her motherly face to the grave, she sat
there and talked to Wobeh's spirit aB naturally a
ir she were looking into his face. Nobody needed
to cross question her.
There was nothing extraordinary for the next
two days. On the first day the mourning women
were taken to the creek and washed, in order that
they might begin to dress tip for the final feast.
On the second day the men of the town were as
bemblcd under the big palaver tree and individu
ally swoin to be loyal to the town. The oath vas
administered b7 making the man drink from a
bowl of milkish fluid which was supposed to kill
th man if he was insincere. On this day, also,
the men brought in large quantities of firewood
and the women were busy threshing and cleaning
nce aud pots
Then came the third and greatest day the
slaughter of the bullock and the great feast. So
far as I could learn there is no sacrificial idea
involved in the ceremony; the slaughter is solely
for the purpose of pioviding for a joyful banquet.
The big bullock was led to a vacant place near
the grave, just at sunrise, and securely tied down
on its side. Its throat was then cut. the wind
pipe being seveied, and the animal slowly bled to
death. It was i'O minutes before the animal
ceased to struggle, but its tail had been severed
long before, this being the especial perquisite of
the men selected as butchers.
The carcass was then skinned and King Sow
sat in his leopard chair while fiie bullock was cut
up. lie kept a careful watch to bee that not even
an ounce of meat was taken by anybody. Two
large brass kettles aud a laige basket were placed
in fiont of him and in these were placed the in
ternal organs and the choicest cuts the king's
meat. Now and then one of the butchers would
overlook some small portion, but the king oxer
looked nothing; he had the error promptly recti
fied. Altogether he leceived about one-third of
the bullock. The lemaicdei was cut up and dis
tributed among the ramilies. to be cooked; posi
tively no pait or the animal except the hide and
horns was discarded. There was not quite enough
to go around, so the king ordered a dog killed to
make up the deficiency.

Consumptives Need Not Leave Home.
Consumption can be cured, or ar
rested, in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends a person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage of the disease, is guilty
or cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing of small local hospitals in every
city and town in the country. At
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to ex
clude indigent consumptives or to
send them back to the east.

A strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is eufTcring from vcak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach end its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man "doesn't feci just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, has an tiacomfortablc
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond--
ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
