HOPI INDIANS SEEK
150 SERPENTS FOR
THEIR SNAKE DANCE
fFr Asaoclated Prs , PHOENIX. Ariz., July 29. On tha Piinted Desert of northern Arlzora. Hopl Indians next month will hold their noted snnke dances, which annually attract tSousands of tourists. This year the dances will be held la the villages of Walpi and Mlshongnovl. Most people believe the snake dance is a Hopi rain dance. This is not correct, according to Emry Kopta, a
sculptor, who claims that thn ceremony
is a form of Indian ancestor worship.
Mr. Kopta has bee living in Walpi village for seven years, and say xhn Hopis always hold their rain dances In June and July and the snake dances
in August.
Describing the ceremony, Mr. Kopta
declared the dancers open the dance
by stamping upon a plank laid over a pit. This is intended to notify the dead that the ceremony has begun. Be
tween 100 and 150 snakes are needed
for the annual dances. Origin of Dance.
Out of the scores of Hopi traditions, has come a story telling of the origin
of the snake dance, according to tne
sculptor. The traditions toll of a Hopl youth, a dreamer, who once set out to find what lay beyond the far hills. He Coated down the muddy Colorado until
he came to a land believed to be California. There he met and wed a maiden of a strange tribe and took
her back to his Hopi village.
The first children of the young
couple were snakes, and the Hopis expelled the two from the village. Then y the crops failed, the Indians suffered " from starvation and the old village priest said the trouble was brought on by the expulsion. He declared rain would not fall or crops mature tintil the couple was brought back. Acting on the priest's advice, the Indians searched the deserts for the two and eventually found thorn. After leaving the village, the woman had borne human children and these were brought back. But the snake children had glided off into the desert. In celebration of the couple's return, the Indians danced the first snake dance and, since the snake children could not be found, they brought all the snakes they could find to attend the ceremonies.

The bis top of the show, with its patent grandstands, which unfold from 30 special wagons, seats 12,000 people.
WILLIAMSBURG BAND, SAXAPHQI1ES0BBERS, . ACHIEVES POPULARITY - WILLIAMSBURG, Ind, July 29. Probably there are comparatively few Wayne county residents, who know that in common with Detroit, Toledo and some other large cities, Williamsburg possesses a saxophone band." Every piece in the band, with the exception of the bass and snare drums, Is a saxachone, and the novelty of an
exclusive band of these instruments has proven so popular with citis of Wayne and Randolph counties that the
band is having , all It can ao to nu engagements offered it.
Besides regular weekly concerts given in Williamsburg and Lynn during the summer, the band has played
at Green s Fork, Hagerstown, fountain City, Centerville, Pershing, and many small towns in Randolph county and

to give concerts wherever engagements 'could be secured. Practically all the members of the band have been instructed by him, and after organizing the band -he continued as its leader. Of the members of the band there
are very few over 30 years of age, and two, William King, and Arthur Hyman, are 'boys of twelve. The band members are:"Verlim Schaeffer, leader,

MAKER OF SPURIOUS MONEY IS TRAPPED
From a London Letter to the Westminster Gazette Not for the first time Is the Bank of France worried by counterfeit notes so cleverly forged as almost to defy detection. It went through an alarming experience of the kind in the reign of Louis Philippe, when an adventurer happily named Gatebourse put 500 1,000 franc notes in circulation in a single month. He fared sumptuously, entertained extravagantly and had even the audacity to offer hospitality to the governor of the bank, who told him all about the forgeries and admitted that If the forger were not soon caught the bank would find itself in Queer Street. Two days later Gatebourse walked
Into the bank and presented one of the notes, but there was one detail
which he had overlooked. It was the
custom in those days to pin notes of that value together in packets of ten.
The cashier looked for the pin pricks

The whole production prophesies great popularity for the picturized stories of Irving Bacheller, more of which are sure to follow, since "Keeping Up With Lizzie" has proven itself to be such a great success both in the book and on the screen. It's a splendid picture, splendidly presented a

SAVE THE SLEDGE From the Arkansas Thomas Cat. A couple of negroes were digging a hole in hard ground under a sidewalk. One, down in the half finished bole, held a small iron pipe upright, upon the end of which the other pounded with a large sledge in order to loosen the dirt. The sledge wielder swung the heavy tool rather recklessly, and it looked as
though he might miss at any moment! and strike his companion's head, just! below. A passing white man cau-j tioned: "Better be careful, Tom, or, you'll bring that sledge down on Andy's head." 4 "All right, boss," replied the sledge', swinger, seriously. Ah'U be more, careful; dis am de only sledge wei

Another successful forger from whom the Bank of France has suffered was a certain M. Barrot, who happened to be on intimate terms with a highly placed official of the bank, M. Manceau. "How on earth," he asked his friend, across the dinner table, "do you know a forged note from a genuine one?" His attention was drawn to a minute flaw in the genuine notes
which the cashiers were taught to
look for. Armed with this Information, M.
Barrot proceeded to forge notes in which the crucial flaw duly appeared; but his run. nevertheless, was a short one. The forgery was not, after all, quite perfect, and M. Manceau came to the conclusion that the forger could be no other than the gentleman to whom he had been so indiscreetly communicative. He therefore paid him a surprise visit, in the company of the police, and caught him in the act of forging more notes. So Barrot also got a life sentence. . though he avoided serving it by jumping into the
sea when about to embark for Cayenne.

Mildred Manley lays a good claim for the use of a much over-worked word in describing her ability "versatile." It really fits her, and is not used because its handy. Miss Manley shows possibilities. Seme are realized.
Probably her best was her impersonation of Fannie Brice singing "Vamping Rose." It is good to see a little lady win by ability, rather than by stalling around depending on feminine winsomeness. A regular strong arm exhibition is offered by the "Three Regals." Sup

That is to say that the acrobatics by Bud on the bicycle are the whole act.' Much of the comedy attempt falls, and Miss Grey's songs, while well sung, seem so effortful as to un-nerve the hearer.
