A VeAlTAeLE HooDoo.

Strange and EventruI History of a Piece Of
Hangman's Rope.
A couple Of evenings ago a young man
named Tolllnan, who lives near Ellen
wood, dropped in at the police station
| and gave reporter there about an inch
Of the whit e plow line with which the ne
gro who poisoned the Burks family was
lynched. Mr.. Tollman was present. at
the inquest the preceding day and had
there secured the relic.
The plow line was in three strands,
and some hours later the reporter sepa-
rated one of them and gave it to Call
Officer Beavers. A negro who happened
to be in the station at the time begged a
strand for himself He said a piece of
plOw line with which man has been
hanged makes a formidable hoodoo, and
if the plow line is white the efficacy
Of the hoodoo is doubled. The reporter
accordingly gave him one of the two re-
naming strands, and wrapping the other
in tissue paper put it in his pocket.
Now for chapter 2. AS Officer Bea-
vers was going home yesterday he
thought to attach the strand to his
watch guard for safe keeping, and in so
doing dropped the watch and broke it SO
badly that it is doubtful if it will ever
run again. He put the bit of plow line
in his pocket, and inside of two hours
barked his shin on chair, got cinder
in his eye, spilled bottle of ink on his
pants and had counterfeit dollar passed
on him. He then threw the hoodoo on
the back of a negro who was splitting
wood in the yard, and before the man
struck dozen more blows he cut his lit
tie toe off.
The reporters first misadventure was
to break pair of eyeglasses he priced
highly, and little while later he tore
up lot of copy" by mistake and had
to write it all over again. This was
Monday night. Yesterday he took the
hoodoo strand to the dining room of his
hotel and quietly stuck it in the folds Of
the apron of the waiter who attended
him. A few minutes later the darky fell
down the kitchen stairs, making an un-
earthly clatter and dropping the fatal
talisman. He picked it up, and instantly
suspecting witchcraft put it down the
back of another waiter.
This victim, all unsuspicious, loaded
tray with meals for six and went up to
the dining room. At the head of the
stairs he caught his foot and fell sprawl
ing, breaking every dish on the tray and
scattering beefsteaks, potatoes and mis-
cellaneous eatables all over the apart
ment Somebody informed him of the
hoodoo, and he put it in the stove.
The possessor Of the third strand has
not yet been heard from, but if he gets
run over, falls out of window, breaks
leg or meets with some kindred adven-
ture it will occasion no surprise.-At-
lanta Constitution.

He Knew Something About II.

The new boarder in a Lexington
avenue boarding house sat in the
third seat of the right hand side of
the table.
II have been observing your silver
ware, Mrs Codhooker," he said po-
litely at pause in the conversation
at breakfast. "Itlooks to me like old
family plate. Am right, MADAME"
Indeed you are, replied the land
lady, absentmindedly pouring some
hot water into the coffeepot Much
of it belonged to my dear husbands
grandfather, who was an officer in
the continental army"
lis it possible9" calculated the new
boarder deferentially.
Yes, " she added with sigh; my
silver is a great burden. 1t is valu
able and old"
The Chicago boarder, who sat at
the foot of the table, seemed much
interested.
'I guess that's straight" he said
pleasantly, as he poured all the cream
in the pitcher over his oatmeal. I've
often noticed that the butter dishes
were hairlooms. New York Trib-

The Frog Knew What to Do.

Some time ago The Landmark
printed story about a frog taking a
stick in its mouth to prevent snake
from swallowing it, and later Mr.. H.
Fetter's story about partridge hold
ing leaf over its body to hide itself
from a hawk.
A gentleman recently related to us
another frog and snake story, equally
as good if not better than either of
those referred to, which is vouched
for by Mr.. w. A. Myers of Osborn
vile, Wilkes county, who, if we re-
member Alright, was an eyewitness
of the occurrence.
The frog in this instance was a
bullfrog. A blacksnake looking for
his dinner had seized the frog by the
hind leg and attempted to swallow
it. The frog seized hold of bam-
boo brier with it's mouth and held on
like grim death while the snake
tugged at it's extremities. The snake
wrapped it's tail around a convenient
shrub to give himself moro purchase
and leaned back to his work with a
will but it was no go. The frog held
on to the bamboo brier, and as the
snake could not pull him loose he
finally gave it up as a bad job and
retired from the field, d,-Statesville

A JAPANESE LAWN GAME.
It Is Known as Tema and Is q Modified
Form of Our Polo

IL Is Known as TemR and Is = Modified
Form of Our Polo.
Tema is the name given to a new lawn
game. 1t has been adapted to play on
foot from the Japanese form of polo
called dakiu-hterally striking balls"
This game is played on ponies in rec
tangular inclosure rallied in by stout
bamboo post and rail fence about four
feet high, except at one end, where a
boarded fence or screen about eight feet
high replaces the post and rail.
In the center Of this screen is circu-
lar hole about 1S inches in diameter, be-
hind which is fixed netted bag rather
longer than an ordinary landing net.
This is the goal. Eighteen feet in front
of this goal screen another post and rail
fence is fixed across the inclosure. This
is the goal barrier, which prevents the
players from getting any nearer to the
goal. At the other end attendants stand
with supply Of balls and rsckets.
The number of players is generally
seven side, but sometimes fewer. Each
side wears distinctive badge, generally
white and red. The balls are also of two
colors, white and red, and are unlimited
in number. The object of the game is
for the white players to sling white balls
and the red players red balls into the
goal. When either side has put seven
balls into the goal net, it reaches the
second stage of the game. 1t has then
to play with single ball, white or red,
as the case may be, with black zone or
some other distinguishing mark upon it.
The side which first succeeds in scor-
ing its zoned ball wins the game. The
racket, or wand, as it has been called,
used for singing and carrying the ball,
has light bamboo handle some 8 feet
inches long. At the thinner end a
crook of split bamboo is fixed. Across
this crook loose silk net is fixed, thus
forming shallow spoon or scoop. Some
dexterity is required in picking up the
ball and retaining it in the crook. To
do this successfully the wand must be
continually kept in motion.
The lawn game is of course played on
foot instead Of on horseback. The in.
closure is reduced to about the dimen'
sions of lawn tennis court. The wands
are the same as those used in the Japa-
nese game, and the balls are of the same
weight. A more sociable lawn game can
hardly be imagined, and as there is plen-
ty of exercise it can be played at all
times Of the year when the ground is not
too wet.-"Things Japanese"
