No Doubt, Say Physicians, That Mrs.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Dec. S.-After

of the California manager Of the Inter

formerly prominent in Boston society,

play, Mr.. Walter made it his business
to visit the region where the trail
winds, and he learned much from the
native mountaineers regarding the
stones. IL seems that the regio in
Virginia where the stones are found
was once possessed by old King Pow
haitian, and he and his Indians en-
dowed the stones with a certain mys-
ticism which made them very sacred
in the eyes of the Braves who were
entitled to wear them. 1t is strange
that in that remote period Powhattan
should have considered the little Gu
riosities as being emblematic of love
and affection, for in his language
there was no word of love, in fact, it is
only in the last hundred years that
the missionaries inserted one. The
rough passion of the savage may,
however, contrast favorably with old
cold calculation which, like the en-
chanted horde of talismans of the
Niebelungs, is almost sure to bring
misfortune. Not so with the "medi-
cine" the Indians attributed to the
fairy stone
One of their legends was that hun
dreds of years ago, when all the world
was young, a stranger arrived among
the people then living in that section
and told many strange tales of another
world beyond the seas. Among the
tales he told was that of Christ's cruc-
ifixion, and when the people who were
all good and had never sinned, heard
the sad story, they wept, and the tears
, as they fell upon the ground, turned
| into little pebbles and that each peb-
BILE formed a cross. The Indians had
many other legends regarding the
origin of the crosses and the early
| missionaries, some Of whom came
from Finland, were wont to recite
some of their old epics, especially the
story of the divine myth, Ilmar1nnean
who forged bride of gold and silver
for Wainamoinen who was pleased al
