DOZEN. $800 THE (.i HOST OF WANDA. the: secret of a haunted house SINGULARLY DISCOVERED. Clever Indian Jugglers I'nintenttoiially Solve a Village Mystery What disturbed the Captain -Remarkable Skill of a Bnaka CI inner. Almost every town or village has its haunt ed biuse, and the little village settlement of Wanda, in India, was no exception. Here a nun ber of English offl. ers and their families live during tho warmer months, returning to thoi - respective cntntimuds later on. The rum.tr that Capt. Beauchamp's house was rmu iron was ctreulateil by a servant a su perstitious old Englishman who had followed the captain all over the world and was. all things considered, a faithful servitor. Thomas had for some days heard curious sounds about the house. At first ha thought there were rate or mice in the wall. Ho was awakened one night by a most extraordinary noise. The door bell was ringing violently, and a struggling, writhing voice in the wall of tho houw not in one place, but in several at Olid). This was followed by a complete si- leme, and as Thomas sat up in bed, his hair threatening to stand on end. he was positive he beard a long drawn sih. This was the last feather. So, leaping from the couch, he rushed to his employer's room and aroused him, avowing that the place was haunted, and a few moments later tho entire house hold was in the room. THE MOCKNFUL PLAINT. The notoriety so cheaply earned became excxHlmcly disagreeable. First came stran ger, natives and others, who stood in front of the house day and night and looked at it wit a wondering curiositv. Matters stood in thU shape for somo days, when one morning a p-iny 01 jugglers pass.-d through tho town and finally reached the haunted house. As there were a number of children in the fami ly the performers wore invited into the grtunds and gave an entertainment. Fi nally, as a winding up, one of the men took out a small oval basket haviuz an orifice in the top, and seating himself near it began to piay a quaint air upon a Mute. After industriously playing for a few rain- ute-i up through tho hole in the basket came the head of the cobra one of the most poiwnous of snakes up came tho hideous head with its h.xl that gave a malignant ap pearance to the reptile, and when twelve or fift wn inches above the basket it liegan to waeto and fro as if in obedience to the me tsure of the music. After the snake dance or the snake "charming," as Europeans are wont to call it the Indian snake charmer walked around the house, and among the bushes po utod out a hole which might have Imen made by a rabbit To one of the native attendants he said that for a small sum extra he would take out a cobra which he thought was in tho hole. Th English officer did not believe it, but willingly submitted to tho experiment, and, seating himself before the hole, the magician bet an bis mournful plaint. For fifteen rninuts he kept up the noise, and then from the opening there appeared thf ugly, hooded head of a cobra. Another hole was soon found, this being directly at th basoof the wall of the house. The man examined it a few moments carefully, then bej-an to play upon the flute. Hardly had the group gathered about tho performer before a most remarkable noise came from the house. First, there waa a soi.nd as of escaping steam, then a sound of sone great body striking tho wall and rub bii.g against the timbers. Oust in clouds caine from tho hole, and the 'charmer'" started back in terror, overturning the man behind him. Recovering himself, ho darted at the hole and, thrusting his arm in, drew om. not a cobra, but the tail of a larger snttko. Astonishment was depicted on the na.ive's face, and horror in those of many of tho spectators, as he stood holding the tip of tho tuuVand five feet of the liody was visible A MONSTER BY THE TAIL. For a second the man hesitated, then re pa ning his courage ho shout. si in Hindoos tanee for the lookers on to stand back, and, tal.ing a good grip upon tho tail, he pulled griduaily backward Out it came, foot by foot, inch by Inch, five, ten, fifteen, sixteen fet eighteen, was there no end 'eighteen f t of quivering snake flfh as large as a rutin's thigh. A quick jerk now and the entire monster ma clear at least twenty feet in length big enough to swallow a deer and yet held by a Ingle man. The native was, however, not in the least discouraged. He clung to tha ta 1 and as the huge reptile turned toward hi n with an angry hiss he gave it a swinging m rtion by turning slowly. Gradually h n. un til be seemed the center of a wheel, the spokes of which wore the body of the python. So rapid was the motion that the snake's body was perfectly straight, and it was evi dent that as long as the motion could be kept ut the man was safe, but if the monster cojld reach him he would in a moment be cr ished iu the horriblo folds of the reptile. riie lookers on had long since fled, the na tives had gone shrieking up the street, the Ei iglishman alone standing by, but even be di 1 not know what to do, as it was impossi bl ) to shoot the animal as it was flying arouDd; go he stood for a few moments a; hast at the curious position of the man. It soon became apparent that the charmer knew what he was atmut. Not far from the house stood a stout flagstaff, a foot and a half U rough, of solid teak wood, and toward this ho was gradually moving, whirling the snake faster and faster. Now he was within twen tj -five feet of it, and suddenly it dawned Uion the few spectators what he was about t do. ThUl was to strike the head of the rep tile against the Mile. Nearer he came, whirling faster and faster u itil the reptile stood out like a whip lash, and then, with a quick step forward, he b -ought the head of the animal against the wood with a crushing sound. He released hii h )ld, and the great reptile doubled up In con vulsive folds, digging up the earth and send big clouds of dust into the air, finally drop ping limp and lifeless to the ground. A wondering crowd soon surrounded the daad boa, the now brave natives expressing t leir opinions as to its size. One thing was evidetit, that here was the "ghost." The big t lake had iu some way obtained entrance to tM house, probubly through the hole in the t mndatiou, and had produced the mysterious ajunds heard by the men. The snake charm era had, as is thuir general custom, placed a 1 armless ixibra in the hole, and before they I ad time to call it out it had encountered the t ig Coa with the above result Cor.

Hear what he says: I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time nave bad occasion to eiamme, try and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended preparations or pat ent medicines on the market, and as I have suffered untold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could And nothing to cure or relieve me, I had almost drawn a conclusion that all pat ent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was in duced by a friend now living in Tyler, to try a preparation known as 3 B. or Ro tanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible affliction; and it now affords me the greatest pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county that I am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which I consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known to man. 1 have been subject to ins fl&mmatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time have had four. The last spell came on me in November, 1885, over a year ago, at which time I was confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass ing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produced by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that time I had only eaten six meMs, and could scarlely sit up without support; but after using three bottles 1 was able to relish m meals anil to walk up town, and after six bottles had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When 1 returned to business in February, my weight was 145 pounds, but gradually increased until my regular weight was again attained, 210 pounds. The noticeable fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this un paralleled and remarkable discovery, B. B. B.,curedmein mid winter, at the very time my sufferings and misery were tbe greatest. 1 take it on myself as a practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully. as well as conscientiously, recommend this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not only myself, hut the firm ot McKay & Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in dorse its sunenor merits.
