Kentucky Moonshiners.

A term in prison has no effect what ever on q moonshlner' zeal for his occupation, except, if possible, to whet it, says q revenue officer in the Cincinnati Times Star. We have one prisoner here who is upfor his seventh time. He will probably plead guilty and take his term in jail, but that does not trouble him in the least. for he knows that, like faithful wife, his spouse, has long ago set up a new still and IS quietly pursuing the old business, the safer for his absence. do not doubt in the least that at the present time the families of fully half these prisoners are making whisky as fast as Ii the lord of the still were not in the clutches of the law.
 Is 1t dangerousq Well, slightly. We are always prepared to die, for We never know when We are walking into an am. bush. They never come and fight us openly, but Hay for usH behind rock and trees, fire volley, and by the time we can return the shots are far out of danger. You often hear of an officer being killed but seldom moonshiner. unless it be his own make" It is very rarely that they defend their stills andit sexceedingly hard to find the owners, as when captured they ara usually deserted.

 The Parkersons and Ackleys of Prescott pasture their COWS in the same lot. One Saturday night these COWS did not come up to the bars as usual, and after waiting reasonable tima Mrs Thomas Parkerson and Mrs. Elbridge Ackley started out to find them. It was almost sundown when the women began their quest They pushed on, however, and, having climbed the hill, had entered belt of old growth woods on the edge ofthe swamp, when Mrs. Parkerson caught Mrs. Ackley by the arm crying: 70, my look" pointing to the right Mrs, Ackley followed her and did look

 The subsequent battle was short but very exciting. The old bear was lean and weak. She made deal of noise, but when it came to fighting she wash { in it." Two times she moved up and showed fight, but failing to break through the waving wall of clubs got down on all four and beat a nasty retreat, followed by her two young cubs.
 One of these little bearlets was very weak and could not run nearly so fast as the other, so in the course of ten or fifteen minutes the old mother bear and the stronger cub were out of sight. leaving the poor weak one to the tender mercies of two wide-awake women.
 The little fellow was soon dispatch ed, the COWS were found and the tired victors went home to get supper, proud of their work. Bangor News.

DON'T WORRY.

4hsU ars times and seasons in svery life Not excepting . favored few, When not to worry over the strife ls tho hardest thing to do. When all things seem 30 dark and dreaf We fear they may darker be, Forgetting to trust and not to fear, Though we cannot the future see. Each life has Its good to be thankful for. We must trust we may always find Some happiness surely, less or more, SOme peace for troubled mind. Let us try the good in our minds to ht Passing over the ills in hurry, For when we really think oft,
 What good ever comes of worryf We must bear our trials cheerfully, Not burden our world with sorrow Because we are anxious and fearfully Are looking for trouble to borrow. Look into the future with hopeful heart, Keep watch for the silver lining, And the cloud of trouble will surely part, If we trust instead ofrepining.

purriNo DOWN A CARPET.
''l'il Slap It Down forYou Like . Pan
 cake." Said Montgomery.

''ril Slap It Down forYou Like . Pan- oake." Said Montgomery.
 "I wish, my dear" said Mrs Mont gomery to her husband one mornink "that you would come home early and put down the parlor carpet. l have had 1t beaten, and it isn't much of a job"
 "Oh, yes" Mir. Montgomery assented. "I'll slap it down for you like a pan- cake, It wont take but few minutes" !" But during the day Mrs. Mont gomery's soul was stirred with fore bookings of trouble A black cat came under the window and mewed, and at noon she heard three distinct raps on the ceiling. Besides that, the hired girl broke a tumbler, and that is always sign of trouble.
 Mir. Montgomery came home smil- ing. He "shucked" his coat and vest and took of his collar. Then he wrestled the carpet into the room and spread it out. For some beastly reason it didn't just fit, and Deacon Jones, who happened by and looked into the window, remarked that Mr. Montgomery would have to "hump himself to make it stretch. Mir. Montgomery looked vicious, but he said nothing.
 After two sides were tackled, with Mrs. Montgomery active inter- vention, Mir. Montgomery arose and made a formal speech. He addressed his wife as follows:
 "See here, my dear, lean put down the carpet all right if am let alone, but I can't put down the carpet and fight of your futile and insane suggestions at the same time. Now you either retire to the privacy of your apartments and leave me to put down the carpet, or I'll retire and leave you to put down the carpet, oryou just stay here and try to boss, and we'll have the biggest monkey and parrot razzle- dazzle you ever saw"
 Mrs. Montgomery retired, and in a few moments she heard a great pounding then some wrathful ob- jurgations. Mir Montgomery had pinched his finger. For few mo- ments all was silent.
 Mir. Montgomery was humping him. self stretching the carpet. Mir Mont gomery had kneeled on tack Then for ten or fifteen minutes arose composite noise, made up of hustling, pounding and objectionable language. But 1t was the last struggle. The carpet was down. Mrs Montgomery appeared on the scene. Her husband was red in the face, mad way through, but triumhpant.
 "Merciiul heavenW cried Mrs. Mont gomery. "The carpet must come up. There are no papers under 1t and there are wrinkles in it."
 "The man who takes up t.lat car pet" shrieked Mir. Montgomery. fairly dancing with rage, takes it up after my violent and sudden demise at his hands,
 Then he grasped his hat end 8 few moments later said across the ma hogany. Whisky, please" and as he poured out a generous supply of the rich. red coffin vanish he told the barkeeper how he had just put down a carpet so tight that the tacks all flew out and played a tintinnabulation on the ceiling like the falling of gentle streamlet over the rocks.
