TALE OF A SNAKE
THAT LOVED MUSIC
The Reptile Dwelt in a Church In
Schuylkill County, So the Chron
icle Goes, and Learned to Piny the
Organ.
From the Pittsburg- Times.
A party of musicians the other day
were discussing the question of tho
lovo of music among the animal
creation and particularly among
snakes. Tho majority of them denied
that snakes In particular had any Idea !
of muslo and scouted the thing as ah- I
surd nnd Impossible, when one of them
offered to relate a storo from his own
experiences that would be convincing '

companions agreed to hear the evl- I
dence. however much they might doubt
the correctness of his theories.
"Some years ago." he Bald, "I was
the organist In a little country church
near tho Ulue mountains In Schuylkill
county. The mountnlns were full of
snakes. I used often to go out In
the woods nnd take my cornet along
Just to have a little music and practice
by myself. One day I was sitting on
a log by a spring, playing softly and
hardly thinking what I was doing,
when I suddenly saw a clant black-
snake very close 'to mo colled up and
swaying his head to the rythm of tho
tune, i nm not afraid of snakes nnd
knew this on to be as harmless as n
kitten, so I was more amused than
frightened, nnd continued to play a
variety of airs for him to sec the ef
fect. He appeared to enjoy It Im
mensely, nnd when I played something
lively ho seemed to become nlmost de
lirious In his gyrations. I concluded
that If he had legs he would surelv
dance, and as It was, his motions wero i
exeeedlngly graceful and his Ideas oB ' county soldier with Company C, Twen

organ loft. I then tried him with thp. i aKes' A few (,a's a8 my bunky and
organ, and he was even more delight- I
ed than with the cornet. Finding that
he would never get enough of tho
music I was obliged to drive him away
by main force.
"The next day I went Into the church
to practice and had not been long at
it when I heard a rustle on tho car
pet nnd, looking down, there was his
snakeshlp taking it ln. and when I
finished I had to drive him away again.
By tne next Sunday I had almost for
gotten about the Incident, when. Just
as we were In the midst of the second

female members of the choir as If Boms

many weeks every time 1 practiced, but
It seems that he had become convinced
that It was dangerous when others
were present, so he never again en
tered the church during service, though
doubtless he was listening at a safe
point outside.
MYSTEIUOUS MUSIC.
"Soon afterward members of the
church reported that they had heard
mysterious breathings of the organ at
night in passing the church and in
quired whether I was practicing. I as
sured them that I was not. This oc
curred several times, and as it could
not be satisfactorily explained It aroua.
ed a deal of comment nnd some of tho
more superstitious began to whisper
that the church was haunted nnd that
the spirit of a former organist was
nt the bottom of It. Ah tho mvatopv
was beginning to tell on the nerves of
the neighborhood, as well as on my
own. I determined to ferret It out. Th-i
music would generally sound aB It
someone were touching the keys with
one finger, although sometimes a num
ber of keys would be depressed simul
taneously: but whenever I would en-
ter the church I would llnd no ono
there. The organ, however, would ba
open, though I had lpft It closed when
I last used It.
"One evening I determined to mnko
a night of It and solve the mystery If
it was possible. I accordingly took up
a concealed position In the church
shortly after dark. I was assisted
somewhat by the fact that" the moon
shone Into tho building and lllumln -
nted a small space around the organ.
It wns no sooner fully dark than

Intended for four Japanese, but often

these square pens, or. when there aro
no pens, they squat upon the floor in
little clrclnr groups and smoke, eat,

the spectators bring luncheon and pass

New York, Nov. 16. The market for
securities showed an Instantaneous re

relief to the money market contained
in Secretary Gage's circular offering to
redeem $25,000,000 of government bonds
nt the market price of Wednesday. Tho
first hour of the trading witnessed a
very broad, animated and buoyant
market, the activity nnd strength be
ing very generally distributed through
out the list. Tho rapidity In the ad
vance Invited considerable profit-taking
and there were quick recessions
frcm the opening level. But the de
mand for stocks continued unappeascd
and until the later level was reached
tho buying continued. At the high level
there was a diminution of tho demand,

the express purpose of availing them

covered by these rumors was consider

No confirmation of these rumors could

known ud to a recent time that the
near banks would have difficulty In ob

security for government deposits In the
event of an offer by the treasury de
partment to increase the deposits.
There has been some accumulations of
bonds by the banks ln the last few
weeks but no reliable estimate con be
obtained of how far their previous
holdings have been Increased. The pre
vious holdings were mostly ln the use
as security for circulation nnd for gov
ernment deposits so that their sale to
the government would not serve to In
crease the money supply ln the mar

fiduciary institutions In investments
will bo drawn upon to any extent In
