Leschetizky, the famous teacher of
the piano in Vienna, often brightens
his talk with "reminiscences. II al
ways practiced piece with six dried
peas" he said to one pupil when
l began would lay the six peas on
the piano rack side by side. Then
when l had played the piece through
perfectly, or part of 1t, l would put
one of the peas In my pocket. And so
/ would go on until had played it
through perfectly six times in sue
cession and all the peas were in nv
pockets. But II l made a single mis-
take, say in the third playing or the
fourth playing, l would put the six
peas on the rack and begin all over
again. Whoever practices with six
dried peas is sure to play as well as
he can. Ladies' Home Journal.

Resistance Was Shown the officers and
Battle Ensued-Three of the Ne

He WAS TRACED TO A CABIN

Wedowee, June 15-(Special.)-A few
days ago Sophronia Whaley, a white wo-
man living near this place, who had gone
to a spring after water, was assaulted by
q negro man. The woman's screams
aroused her father, who was near
by, and he arrived at the place in time
to prevent the brute from accomplishing
his desire. The woman had just gotten to
the spring when she was seized from be-
hind by a tall negro man who, after draw
ing large knife, told her that if she
made any noise he would kill her. Miss
Whaley did scream and the negro, hear
ing some one approaching, broke away
and ran into the woods.
Hays Philips, worthless negro living in
the settlement, was suspected and posse
consisting of Deputy Sheriff J. j. Napier,
John Carlisle, Sheriff R. H. Harris and
W. f. Carlisle started out to find him.
When the officers approached the front
door of the cabin they were told not to
come in, and that If they did they would
be shot The posse tried to reason with
the negroes, but finding this useless the
door was broken in. The negroes inside
Immediately opened fire and John Carlisle,
one of the posse, was shot through the
nand. Inc off1cerS returned the f1re ana
pitched battle was waged for several min
utes When the firing was over three of
the negroes were found on the floor of the
cabin badly wounded. The fight occurred
in negro settlement andl soon crowd
of them were seen coming to the house.
The officers had to hold them at bay until
assistance came. In the meantime the
wounded negroes had crawled under the
house and slipped away.
A large body of men are hunting for the
escaped negroes, and if found a lynching
will probably occur.
Miss Whaley was in no wise injured ex-
cept the bad fright she received.
