Strange But True
By F. 1!. MacArthur
Nearly all savage races believe that are endowed with teellngs and intelligence like those of men, and that its men. they possess souls which nmrivo after death to be born Illin in animal form. so we see behind their cur- tain of thinking a reason for their sparing the life of animals which may do not need for food.
It is a well known fiact that the Kysks of Borneo will not kill I crocodile unleu the creature has first killed a. man. I
Various tribes of Madagascar be- lieve themselves to be descended from crocodiles and therefore treat the scaly reptile as a. man and brother. What happens when a crocodile forgets himself and de- vours a human? The chief of the tribe leads his followers to the ..dge of the water. and summons :he family of the culprit to deliver lile guilty one to the law. A hook is then prepared and toned into me water. When the creature "of the deep is thus captured, he is sentenced to death and executed :.nd his body buried and a marker ;tI.'lC8d upon his grave the same as it he were actvlaliv a human being.

The Indians of the Southern .5IlIv& will never molest a snake .lll6l'l it crosses their path. Why? nncause they believe if they were in kill the crawlerpthe snake's kin- tired would in turn kill some of them. so the Seminole Indian: spared the rattlesnake. because they feared the soul ,of the dead snake would incite its kinsfolk to value revenge. The Ohcrokce looked .pon the rattler as the chief of the make tribe and feared and respect- ed him accordingly.
But. and there is a."but" when '2 comes to killing such animals or starve. the Indians put aside their
Rllpcrstitions and take the life of
any creature that may be eaten.
A 62-year-old Detroit man had a dread of being drowned all his life. lie spent the last two years of his life as a waiter at the fashionable Grosse Point Club wilich juts into Lake at. Clair and is MHTOIIDGEQ by small pleasure boats. Wisnlewke left his Job because he felt it was too near the water for his peace of mind. After leaving his job he got himself a room in it private home. some days later they found his body floating in the lake. He had drowned while on his way back in the clubhouse to pick up some rlothes he had left behindi

In Korea. doctors removed a live three-inch arrnor-piercing shell from the body of Private All: Barrie. The medlcos didn't know it was a live shell until after they removed it. Neither did the soldier. Why it didn't explode is anybody's guess.
i
Ionaeeawapileofbuffnlonkulis on the Western Prairie arranged in circles and aymotriui order and wondsrlu. at this was told. it was the work.of Indians who believed that these bones would be resur- rected and again clothed with re- newed flesh.
Recently I came upon authentic evidence that the Laws expected the resurrection of all the animals they'd slain to take place in snobb- er world. Indeed. they believed that all insects -as well as animals. would rise from the deed and live mlderground. on the other hand the North American Indians looked for the resurrection of the animals in the present world.
Strange are the beliefs of the Eskimos of Northern Oansda and Alaska. A few examples will suffice. when I hunter kills a. fox. be cuts the tendons of the animals legs so that the ghost of the for cant leave, its body and go galavanting about.
Bullies hamstringing the fox they sometimes tied the animal's mouth up tightly to prevent the ghost of the fax from coming from its grave and warning its fellows against the approach of the hunter. They also put out the eyes of seals they have slain, lest the ghost of the slain animals should recognize their killers and avenge their death by spoling the seal-hunt.

Mrs. George Watson, of Elierbeck, Eng., discovered her son's grave in a. recent dream she had. Her son was killed in action on line retreat from Dunkirk in 1940 and his body was thought to have been buried somewhere along the beach. one night Mrs. Watson dreamed she visited a military cemetery near Dunkirk in France and walked through a wicker gate to her son's grave. This strange dream troubled them so much that they pooled their life savings to buy it round trip ticket to frsrlce.
The dream proved correct in every detail but one. Tile cemetery was there all right. so was the. the wicker gale. However, the grave they sought was several yards out- side thc burying ground proper. They got permlsion to dig up the remains. Result: a cigarette holder and a photograph. The photograph was of Mrs. Watson. the cigarette holder was the parent's gift to their son the night before he sailed for France
