The sudden development of an amaz-
ing gift of music in five-year. old
daughter has thrown Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles B. Leas, of Omaha, into a state
of bewilderment. Their little girl,
Annie, who has never received single
word of instruction or encouragement,
came home one day from kindergarten
and sitting down at the piano electrified
her mother by playing complicated
air. During the rest of the afternoon
she continued at the instrument play
ing one melody after another. This was
several months ago and since then the
child has picked up thirty or forty
tunes which she has heard at kinder
Carton or whistled on the street. The
child, who lacked some weeks of being
5 years of age when she began, furnish
es pretty problem to her parents,
they not knowing whether to encourage
the youngster or not. The case is one
Of the most remarkable of juvenile

TIGERS IN INDIA.
Strange Hindoo Beliefs Concerning the

Strange Hlndoo Beliefs Concerning the
Man Eaters.
In India the traditions of folklore are
numerous and strange. Among those
pertaining to the tiger the following
are the most peculiar: The uneducated
Hindoo land he Is In the great major
lty) believes that the ghost of a man
killed by tiger rides on the heod of
the beast that slew him to warn him
of danger and to guide him to new vic
tins. 1t is declared that God provides
for the tigers daily wants to the
amount of rupee n day--that is TO
say. IL the tiger kills calf worth 6
rupees he will not be allowed another
victim for five days.
Eating the flesh of tiger Is sup
posed to give one great courage and
alertness, but the whiskers must first
be singed Off the beast or his spirit
will haunt the man who fed off him,
and he Is likely TO be turned into n
tiger In the next world.
The following incident really occur

terday prevented from tearing into
each other In the final clash of the
year. With what we know of the
farewell affairs in the past 1t is just
as well. Mansfield said goodbye, and
we will not forget It for awhile. And
the 13 to "adios" of Lima is another
thorn In ones side. Perhaps it is Just
as well that Portsmouth said good
bye down town instead OF at the yard.
Yet II would be hard to find fan
who Is not sportsman enough to wish
that the game could have been
played. Joe Lewis would have pitched
for the Dggers and Ludwig for
Portsmouth and there might have
been a great battle. Had the Dig
gers lost and Mansfield won, then
things would have been almost too
close for comfort. As 1t Is Marion

ming one game of the four at Mans
field will secure second place beyond
any freak of fortune.
Now despite the handicap which the
Diggers have Mansfield Is going to
battle hard to overcome the SEEM
ingly impossible obstacles, and II may
be that the double header over there
or Labor Day which marks the Jour-
ney's end, will decide which club is
to take third place.

ALExlNIIDER'S Snake.
A Story Of Magic and creduIity in The
OIden DAYS.

No snake that ever lived won greater
fame for the time than Alexander's.
Iucian tells the story. Apollonius, q
master of the magic arts, had many
disciples. among whom was n practic.
ing physician who lived in Abonoti-
chus, a small town on the shore Of the
Black sen. There Alexander was born
of humble pnrentage and imbibed from
the old doctor all that he had learned
from Apollonius of medicine and mag
ic. He was lad of striking appear
ance, tall, handsome. with fine head
of hair, lustrous brown eyes and a
voice sweet and limpid. God grant"
wrote Lucian, who knew him, that
may never meet with such another.
His coming was wonderful, his dex-
terlty matchless. His eagerness for
knowledge, his capacity for learning
and power of memory were equally
extraordinary"
Such was the well favored young
peasant who sailed forth from his ma
tive town I'm search of fame and for
commas. shrewd tipster for the races
and somewhat of juggler. The two
rogues Joined forces and meandered
about telling fortunes. Arriving at
Pella, they found a great number OF
huge. harmless snakes which lived In
the houses. played and slept with the
children aud destroyed poisonous rats.
Alexander promptly purchased one Of
the largest, veritable monster, so
tame that It would coil about his body
and remain In any desired position.
Then he made a human face for 1t out
of linen, painted 1t ingeniously and
shaped II so that the mouth would
horsehair, letting the forked tongue
shoot In and out at the will of the
master Having no further use for
Coconnas, he either administered poi
son to him or let him die from some
Infection and returned with his snake
to his native town. There he declared
himself a prophet and announced that
the god Aesculapius was about to ap-
pear The people were credulous, ex-
citable and eager for new divinity.
When the great day arrived Alexan-
der pretended to discover I'm puddle
of water goose egg which he had
placed there after removing the con-
tents, substituting small embryo
snake Just born and carefully sealing
the shell with wax. When the multitude
had gathered he broke the shell and
produced the tiny creature, which in
few moments grew to be the monster
from Pella by the simple process of
substitution. Thereafter tie big snake,
believed to be Aesculaplus, led busy
life. He gave seances. told fortunes in
writing and even spoke freely, with
the aid of the prophets ventrlloquial
powers. Alexander grew rich and pow
erful. kept small army of retalners
and spies, welded no little influence
over the government even at Rome and
died at ripe old age I'm the fullness of
his renown. What became Of the snake
