VISIT TO A MAHATMA
Lives in a Cave and Shows Himself
but Once a Year

II was told off on urgent famine in
spection to get disorder straight in a
village, the name of which signifies sea
of cobras. Famine and cobras double
enemy-hard luck, l thought. Famine
batled bravely and successfully, but
there was no sight or trace of the other,
and the sea was no better than name
The village was perhaps never known
for cobras, or they are now extinct, or,
the belief fingers still, the cobra played
truant from the time the Mahatma Kath-
irappa began to work miracles A shep-
herd youth, grazing cattle with his COM
panions. by verbal command, created a
spring, in the early twenties; it is per-
ennial to this day, proof against the
worst drouth. He would secure the vii
lage from famine or pestilence, or give
timely warning of their appearance-of
course, the last two or three famines ex-
cepted. He lives in cave over hillock
$50 feet high, known after him for miles
around and even in the village survey
map. The hillock attracts the distant
wayfarer by what appear to him turrets,
after the manner of the Jain architect
ure, but which really are rudely carved
monolithic dome-like rocks. His name
is on every lip, but nobody knows his his
tory.
"The Oldest man in the village, about
three score and ten, tells me that the
Mahatma should now almost be a GEN.

ing his home and hearth, he sought the
cave, around which a cloister stands.
furnishing abode for about dozen MEM
bers of either sex, and their cloister is
closed against the public except for one
day in the year, the full moon day of the
first month of the Telugu cycle year.
when the Mahatma presents himself to
all, seated on slab at the entrance to
the cave, his body covered with his mass
of tangled hair, deaf, mutelike, and re-
tires unperceived to reappear again the
next year. The pilgrim offers presents.
VOWS are celebrated, car runs along the
hillock, and the whole day is spent in
sightseeing and jubilation. By the
miracles of his youth, and probably the
career of his later life, Kathirappa has
become popular god within radius of
some fifty miles. But the Mahatma is
in need of no earthly gift, and the con-
tributions of the devout go to support
the inmates of the cloister, who neither
seek nor refuse, who accept and give
charity.
"These strange beings are provisioned
by disciples living In huts at the entrance
to the cloister, or at the foot Of the HILL
The disciples are ready with strange and
fantastic stories of their demigod, who in
flesh and in spirit claim to be connected
with the Mahatma, and who pass from
the cradle to the grave in their little
cloister, beyond the pale Of law or public
gaze. The Mahatma is evidently in
scrutable to the layman. How much
longer his mortal frame will show itself
and the fate after its disappearance Of
the little hill colony dependent on him
are puzzles which cannot pretend to
solve. Everything connected with the
Mahatma is held in veneration, but Ra-
nappa, his grandson, drove me to the
next famine station in a cart drawn by
the Mahatma's animals. This 10 sacri-
lege. they say; but cannot the liberal

HOW THE GOLD WAS FOUND
An Indian Reveals the Secret of the

have been discovered. Four or five good

Joe and John Mackey of Sault Ste
Marie, being prospectors of some expert
ence, thought it would be a good move
to strike up through the country on the
north shore of Lake Superior. They
did so last spring for an English syndi-
cate. The formations were promis-
ing, but for various reasons, one of
which was the wrong course taken by
the men, they had no success. Finally
they fetched up at Lake Wawa, which
lies between Magpie and the Michipico-
ton rivers, and sets back about seven
miles from the coast The lake itself
is small body of water of great depth.
The Mackey brothers camped on the
north shore one night and the following
day took their packs and set forth to ex-
plore the land back from the lake. They

they met an old Indian. He was sham

Fierce Struggle Between Princeton

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 26.-Pennsyl-
vania state college had the Princeton
Tigers down to five points in a game
this afternoon that exceeded i'm fierce
ness any struggle the Tigers have
been through this season. Princeton
scored q touchdown in the first half
with very little opposition from the
team from the state. After that the
boys from Bellefonte not only kept
the Tigers away from their goal but
most of the playing was in Princeton
territory. The State college employed
the University of Pennsylvania
guards back play" almost entirely
and gained during the whole game al
most 80 yards in all through the
Princeton line by this. The reason
for the Smallness of the score and
Princeton's poor showing in the sec
ond half was due largely to the fact

directly against Wheeler's hunting.
Most of the gains on the part of the
Tigers were made by end runs by
Reiter and Ayres. The latter was
credited with the only touchdown.
In the first half Princeton had the
ball, after long run by Ayers, on
States two-yard line but time was
called before it could be pushed over.
The game was unusually rough and
there were suggestions of slugsing on
the part of both teams. The lineup

Laughter Cures All Ills"

1t is not difficult to analyze the great
success achieved by II. A. Du Sou
chefs comedy My Friend From India
which has set all the world talking
Its plot is novel. its theme is new, its
dialogue refreshing, and as a whole it
is laughing vehicle that is not easily
duplicated; as to ITS consistency-wrl,
to analyze that would be a task of too
great an Undertaking. What matters
1t anyhow? The expectation Of the
author is fully realiz I'd that Of maxi
ing us laugh, and the most eminent
physicians will not deny that laughter
is the cure of all ills" My Friend
from irdia" will be sen tns evening
and the patrons Of the Lyceum may
feel assured of thu quality Of its merry
making. 1t will be pre- 50 led by a
sterling comuany, organized under the
personal supervision Of it's managers.
