MUSIC SAVES A MANS LIFE
Wrapped Around Carnival Manager,
Snake Loosens Coils as Mile. La
Beneto Plays Weird Tune.

PunXsutawney, Pa-With the coils
of a python 25 feet long tightening
gradually around his body, James
Harve Stenger, manager for a car
nlVal company, escaped being crushed
to death only through the power OF
music to soothe the reptile after the
efforts of six lei had failed to dis
lodge 1t.
Mr.. Stenger was experimenting the
unloading Of a box of snakes when
the python escaped. For an instant
the reptile seemed to be dazed, and
as Mr.. Stenger took a stick and tried
to push it through a door into a big
glass cage the snake turned like a
flash. In an instant the python en-
twined itself around Mr.. Stengar, pin
ming his arms to his sides.
Six men went to Mr.. Stenger's aid
and attempted to pull the snake from
his body. The folds of the big rep
tile, however. only drew closer. and
Mr.. Stenger was on the verge Of a
collapse, when Mile. La Beneto, who
owns the reptile, appeared with a
lageOlet between her lips.
S~tationing herself near the snake
she began to play a low, weird mel
ody. at the same time swaying her
body to and fro gently. Raising its
head. the python began to sway in
rhythm with the player and the mu-
sic. and gradually l%oosening its folds
from Mr.. Stenger 1t coiled on the
ground with It's head swinging from
side to side.
Slowly approaching the snake Mile.
La Beneto. still playing gently. forced
1t into the glass cage. In the mean
time Mr.. Stenger, who had toppled
over unconscious when released from
the folds OF the snake, was revived
and found to be uninjured.

whose four members, one OF them a

These meetings, preceded by a din

the day In 1850 when the remnants Of

into a Mexican rancho in the valley of

In 1S49, when the party started for
California. illinois was a frontier
state. and west OF there 1naianas were
practically the only inhabitants. BY
the time they reached Salt Lake and
h Mormon settlements practically
all their cattle had been stampeded.
The desire OF the Mormons to have
ern California led them to advise the
jayhawkers to head for Los Angeles,
says Colonel Cotton, and the start
across the hesert was made against
the advice of Kit Carson and other
noted p~lainsmen. Hearing Of the
hardships OF the Denver party, how
ever. they hesitated at taking the
route owe the Sierras, and so, after
waiting for six weeks in Salt Lake for
the desert to cool off, they started

London.-The disappearance OF the
Memphis millionaire Joseph WILDER

London has served to remind the
whole world that the British capital
is in many ways the best hiding place
that anybody can utilize.
The city is so vast that the police
can only investigate any case on well
understood and we'll defined lines. a
smart mar learns these lines. He
does not rush to the railroad depots

take too much to drink and secreta
himself in a police cell. He merely
changes his name. his clothes and hla
feminine curiosity ne is as safe IN
London as he would be in the desert
of the Sahara.
The best proof Of this will be found
in the fact that on the day that j. W..
Martin disappeared in London some
where about fifty other persons van
ished. A similar number were lost
the day before. and a similar number
the day after. But no cutlery was
raised on the subject.
London does not boast or shout
about its mysteries. It is only when
something really dramatic happens
and there are shrewd folks like the
Americans concerned in the solution
that a real big stir is made. Their

that somewhere about 10000 men and

Groceries Will be Cheaper.

Should the tariff bill pass as intro
I duced in the House it will materially
reduce the price of many article that
are used by all the people Of this
country. MT. Charles Thorpe, edi-
tor of the Grocers Advocate, in speak
ing of the bill, says sugar will come
in practically free. This, he says,
will not mean anything to the retail
grocer, but to it will mean a differ
ence of two cents less per pound.
Flour will also be greatly reduced in
price to the consumer and the differ
ence will be about s1.40 less a bar
rel for average grades. There will
be similar reductions in rice, buck
wheat -four and other staple gro
ceries. Common soap should in cases
where it now costs seven cents a
cake, be reduced to something near
er five cents cake. Imported bis
cults should also come down a SINH
lar amount. There are only few of
the articles that will be cheapened by
the bill. These reductions will help
the poor people, the very class that
need help most.

Had 1t Happened Here.

When the news spread that Ger
man military airship, with four army
officers, had suddenly descended on
the parade ground at Luneville, in
France, the populace was seized with
CONSERVATION. The foreign invaders
might explain that they had lost their
way in the fog and that their motor
had gone wrong, but any French pa
triot could see through the Teutons'
game.
The French General in command
at Luneville knew his business. He
seized the airship, dismartled its en-
CINE and kept the Germans under
guard, after having searched them
for photographs and plans Of French
Notifications. The Minister Of War
at Paris hurried the chief of the
French army to Luneville to make an
inquiry. Eventually the Kaiser's Of
tcers were allowed to go and take
their airship with them, after paying
$4,000 in customs duties.
In commenting on the incident,
The New York World says if Cana
dian airship had drifted over the line
and landed at Sandusky, o., or San
ford, n. Y. a thrifty local merchant
would probably have sold the avia-
tors some gasoline at thirty-fve cents
a gallon and they would have start
ed home to the cheers or the assem-
bled populace. All of which goes to
prove what fearful dangers the Unit
I'd States faces through the national
folly of not being prepared for war at
a moments notice.

BRYAN TALKS TO MEN.
Secretary Lays. Aside Affairs Of State
to Speak of Religion.

Secretary Bryan, laying aside af-
fairs of the state department Sunday,
delivered before a religious mass
meeting the first of series Of Sun
day afternoon addresses which he
will make under the auspices Of the
Christian Endeavor union Of the Dis
trici Of Columbia.
He spoke in one of the downtown
theatres, every seat being taken. 1t
originally was planned to have the
meetings for men alone, but it was
decided tha, the remainder OF the
series should be open to men and
women alike.
Mr.. Bryan said he always was
glad to address religious meetings
fer men in an effort to conteract
growing tendencies towards skepti-
cism. Resenting the implication Of
ten heard that a man who lives a
spiritual life is narrower than he who
confines himself to purely material
things, Mr.. Bryan said:
eff man felt his spiritual starva-
ton as keenly as he does physical
starvation, or If his spiritual lean
ness showed as plainly as physical
leanness it would be easier to give
him spiritual food"
