: CISSIE LOTUS,
The Great Vaudeville Star TO Appear

The management OF Kelths new

one who has proved the most eminent
~ successful both from an artistic

Since entering vaudeville on the
Keith circuit. but a few weeks since,
Miss LOTUS has attracted to the Keith
theatres in Boston ana Philadelphia
audiences so large that hundreds daily

admittance; and she is probably the
only great star who enjoys the distinc-
ton OF having secured a unanimous
and universal verdict OF enthusiastic
approval from both press and public.

Prehisto ric Wall

One Of the scientific puzzles of the
State Of Mississippi is the Brandy
wine Stone WALL !" It has long been a
problem that is yet unsoWed. Some
time ago Mr. Thomas Watson of Ha-
zlehurst sent Gov. LONGING pencil
drawing of an immense pile of stones
in the southeaster portion of Clsi-
borne county, suggesting that the stone
might be utilized bailding the new>
capitol. In a letter which accompa-
MED the drawing Mr.. Watson stated
that these stones, piled high on each
other, cover an area four miles square.
Each stone is six feet long; three feet
wide and two feet thick, and they are
joined together with an excellent quail
ity of cement. Mo- man knows how
they came there. They have been there
for thousands Of years. The builder,
the Jackson (Miss.) News thinks, were
some prehistoric 5race-it could not be
otherwise. The structure is supposed
to be q continuationSo f the great Chi
nese wall" which seems to begin below
Raymond, in the so,thea stern part of
Kinds county, and which is traceable
through Copiah. It lis broad enough to
accommodate two cor three wagons
abreast. and is one Of the wonders OF
the world.

the river, crossed it at the foot Of the
mountains and entered another grove
where, from the signs about, it seemed
to make it's home. They saw many
places where it@had lain down to rest,
and a broad, hard trail ran between the
timber and the river. AS they skirted
the edge of the grove, trying to get sight
of it, the great beast suddenly rushed
out at them, and one poor hunter was

That night the men sat long to-

awful fury Of this animal, for. they felt

into their camp again. After most of

been thinking deeply spoke up: 1T is
