' RIDING THE BUZZARD.
The RiMbird Usm His Bulky Enemy
as an Aeroplane.
People generally associate size and
brute strength with victory, especially
among the lower animals. Many times,
however, this is far from being the
case, especially in the bird kingdom.
Among the rice flats of the Carolinaa
there abound at some seasons of the
year tiny riceblrds, birds so small that
It takes two dozen for a good meal,
though bones and all are eaten.
The great buzzard Is found circling
ever the flats at all seasons. He dreads
the time for the rlcetrird to come, for
he is then nearly pestered to death. It
la a common sight to see one of these
little birds fly up to a buzzard and.
after dodging this way and that round
the awkward bulk, finally alight well
forward between the buzzard's wings
on the back. Here the tiny passenger
grabs a few feathers in his beak and
holds on for grim life. After enjoying
ride for as long as he desires the
little fellow hops off and Is gone before
Mr. Buzzard Is well aware of it
The peculiar part of the whole thug
Is that apparently the only purpose the
rlcebird has in getting on the back of
the buzzard is to take a free ride. It
puzzles every one who chances to see
the little drama to find any other rea
son, yet the fact remalnOThat it Is a
frequent occurrence, and the little
birds seem to enjoy it Immensely.

INDIAN DEATH CUSTOMS.
Qravts ef the Hepi and the Hegans ef
the Navajee.
The H6pi Indian believes that the
souls of all deceased adults go to the
Grand canyon. When a man dies a
grave la dug. The nearest relative of
the deceased carries the body to the
grave, places it In a sitting posture
racing the Grand canyon, erects a long
pole between the legs, locks the dead
man's fingers around It and fills the
grave To the top of the pole, pro
truding almve the ground, he ties one
end of a string and leads the other
end in the direction of the Grand can
yon. At the end of four days It Is
believed the soul leaves the body.
climbs the pole and with the string to
guide It goes to its eternal home in the
canyon.
The Navajos, on the contrary, are
very superstitious about handling dead
bodies. They believe that the evil
spirit that kills the person hovers
around the hogan, as they call their
lodge, awaiting other victims, and a
hogan in which a death occurs Is never
occupied again. Navajo hogans are
always built with the entrance facing
the east. When a death occurs in one
of them an opening Is invariably made
m the north side. Therefore when one
aees a hogan with the north side
knocked out he may be certain some
one has died In It Dillon Wallace in

Base Ball.
Well, Columbus stock has been
looking up a little the past week, it be
ing the first time for quite awhile
when the boys have won more games
than they have lost in seven days'
time. As a matter of fact, in the last
seven games played, Columbus has
won four and lost three one to Fre
mont at Fremont, one to Superior at
home, and one to Fremont at home.
Last Wednesday, down at Fremont,
the score was nine to eight at the
close. Fremont's pitcher, Watson,
who had been released from Grand
Island, is said to have pitched good
ball up to the eighth inning, when
the Discoverers made four runs,
which made the game worth while.
The game of that day between York
and Seward was called off on account
of rain.
The next day Columbus was at
home, and up against Superior, which
had been leading the league until
Fremont forged ahead of them a day
or two previously. But the players
and the fans were not daunted by
that and Columbus kept the game
right here at home with a score of
nine to eight.
Taking heart from the victory of
Thursday, Columbus repeated the
trick again on Friday, only more so.
piling up a total or eighteen hits off
Gibson and Schumerda, and taking a
score of fifteen to the visitors' six.
Superior came through with a dozen
hits off Delair while this was going
on.
Saturday afternoon, though, the
Superior aggregation went at the
game with all the energy and determ
ination born of despair, and when the
smoke had all cleared "away, the
score board showed that they had
taken sixteen runs while the home
boys had annexed six. Superior used
two pitchers to hold Columbus down
to eleven hits, while Hays, Spade
and Kissell allowed them sixteen hits,
all told.
By this time Grand Island had been
busy and had stolen the lead, leaving
Superior second and Fremont third,
while Columbus was up in the fifth
place. This gave the boys some en
couragement, and the game that day
resulted in a victory for the Discov
erers, six to three, with three errors
on Fremont and Columbus perfect.
Monday was the big day for the
boys. That was the day that Meixell
made four lilts out of four times up,
E. Brown took three hits out of three
times up and Corbett took two hits
out of two times up. with E. Brown's
stick work including a home run, and
a two-bagger, while Weisenberger
took a two-base hit, and Meixell and
Delair a three-bagger each. Fifteen
was the total number of hits garnered
by Columbus, the Pathfinders taking
six, the score being Columbus ten,
Fremont three. That was also an
other of those occasions when Mister
Bennett, Fermont's doughty little
manager, lost his head and found his
temper too big for him to carry
around so that Umps Garrett helped
him by assessing him a ten-spot and
exclusion.
Yesterday, the case reversed itself
and Fremont won by hard hitting and
Fremont's left fielder, Turpin doing
some mighty fine work out in his part
of the field. The score yesterday was
ten to six, both sides getting thirteen
hits. All the big bits were made by
Columbus men excepting one by Bon
ner who made a two-bagger, but they
were so scattered that they did not
count for as much as they relly
should.

the different teams as shown by the

SPECTER SHIPS.
Legends ef Shadowy Craft ef the New
England Coast.
The coast of New England has nu
merous legends concerning specter
ships Irmly believed by the rugged
fishermen, who assert stoutly that on
various occasions glimpses of the
shadowy craft have been seen, fol
lowed invariably by fatal disaster.
The specter of the Palentlne Is occa
sionally seen on Long Island sound
and Is the forerunner of a gale of
wind. She was a Dutch trading ves
sel and was wrecked off Block island
in 1752. The wreckers, it Is said, made
abort work of her. stripping her fore
and aft and setting fire to the hull.
As she drifted blazing off the coast a
human form was visible amid the
flames, the form of a female passen
ger, left to perish on the doomed
craft. Since and generally upon the
anniversary of the wreck a phantom
ship with blazing hull, charred spars
and scorched sails and rigging has
been seen cruising off Block island.
Whittler recorded the legend In
graceful verse as well as that of a
ghostly cruiser that sailed from a
New England port of her last voyage,
which he termed "The Dead Ship of
Salem." In the seventeenth century a
ship was about to sail from Salem to
England. Her cargo was on board,
sails bent and passengers on deck.
when two passengers came hurriedly
off and engaged passage. The couple
were a young man and a young wo
man, who, so tradition records, were
remarkable for their bearing and beau
ty. Who they were or whence they came
no one in Salem town could tell. The
ship being detained by adverse winds,
the mysterious couple excited the sus
picions of the townspeople, who view
ed them as uncanny and prophesied
disaster to the vessel If allowed to sail
In her. But the master, a bluff and
stern sailor, refused to listen and final
ly departed on a Friday.
The vessel never reached her desti
nation and was never spoken, but later
hi the year incoming vessels reported
sighting a craft with luminous rigging
and sails and shining hull and spars.
She was sailing with all canvas set
against the wind, with a crew of dead
men standing in the shrouds and lean
ing over the rail, while upon the quar
terdeck stood c young and beautiful
couple. New York Herald.
