He said, T have an invisible snake with which to work my will" md his fame began. They said, Where Is the snake" And he replied: Have I not said that the snake Is invisible? How can show you an invisible snake?" And his fame grew. And he added, Be ware of me, If you please, for I am very easily offended, and my invisible snakes obey me"
 Finding now that he was inspiring terror indeed Tai-imi created an es- tabllshmcnt to forward his cOnse- queucc. Three mcuilis were taken in to wait upon his wants at home, and two qualified assistants were engaged to attend his dignity abroad To the qualified assistants, in enhancement of his own importance, Tai-imi gave invisible snakes. '"Thcy too are sor- cerers." said he, and have invisible snakes" and added. with the large, easy air of every great professional: But the iuvisi. snakes of my as slstautS, of course are small and rather stupid snakes. Ny snake is the snake to beware of"
 Ingenious Tai+mi might have lived long in plenty Lad he not grown so intolerably eXto"tonate in the matter of pigs that the administration got wind of his ways and cOnfounded his success.
 It was shown upon trial that Tai imi had founded his enormously lucra- tive practice upon nothing better than a bald assertion,

THE FRANK LNNCHlNG

We are informed in todays dis patches that the coroner's jury in rhe Leo Frank lynching has eX- onerated the officials of the Mil ledeyille. Ca, prison from having any share or part in the kidnapping and death of the prisoner.
 The Frank case was one of the most inexplicable and mysterious that ever happened in this or any other country. The accused was charged with the death of a thirteen-year-old girl, who worked in the pencil factory OG which he was the manager. The principal eYl- dence against him, and upon which he was sentenced to death, was that given by a negro eX-conyict who was employed as jauitor in the fac tory building, and who was under suspicion himself at one time ol having committed the crime. IL was said that several of the womel at work Ill the fac tory also testified as to Frank $ dsprayity. but if so the evidence was carefully suppressed from the general public. That a jury com posed of southerners, who would uot accept negr"'s oath against a white man in chicken stealing case, should ren- der the verdict they did on the evt- deuce offered is almost unbelievable and would be wholly so had it not been demonstrated otherwise in this trial
 The bitter and deadly feeling against Frank appears to have been only local and was confined to two adjoining counties-Cobb, ill which IS situated Mar.-tta, the former home of Mary Phagan, and Dehalb' ia which is located Atlanta, the city where Frank carried on his bus mess and where the murder was committed. In other parts of the state, and especially in the south ern section, the feeling among the better element has been that to insure a fair and impartial trial 9 change of venue should have been granted by the courts and the case tried where the prisoner had not already been convicted and condemned to death in the minds Of almost the entire population.
 Governor Harris has announced his intention to have a full investi- gation of the lynching of Frank, and it is to be hoped that the per perr5J tors will be run to earth and made to suffer the extreme penalty for tha high-mindei manner in which they have outraged the law.
