Getting down to the distillery business

of the concern, was not a thief and viii.
Jams said no. Goff suggested that Norton &
father was a thief and Williams said
"Hc was not. He kept a saloon at the

When asked if he had ever done any
thing calculated to make Schmittberger
injurc him the inspector said he had
helped tho captain; sometimes . man
hated those who had helped him. He had
never done anything to stop gambling
and other wickedness in his district be-
caure he was occupied all the time in
Office work, but he denied that he was
either negligent or Incompetent. Captain
SchmittberRer had reported to him that
all the gambling houses were closed and
he relied upon the captains statement.

Pure Cussedness Seems at the Bottom of

WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-The senate end
OF the Capitol has been the scene Of more
or less vandalism within the past few
years Less than a week ago some one
entered the closets on the basement floor
and broke several bowls, and Tuesday or
Tuesday night the barber shop was robbed
OF all its portables in the way of razors and
shears, while other articles were watonly
destroyed.
These acts have been Of but very little
consequence in themselves, but they have
created some apprehension in the mind of
the executive officials of the senate, who
fear that the vandals may next turn their
attention to the valuable pictures and
statues which adorn the building, or posi-
bly, to the archives on file in various rooms
many of which could be reached with
comparatively little effort by anyone who
had once gained access to the building

Why Does She Do 1t?

Two men were standing ON the post
Office crossing when woman passed
along.
''Did you see that lady offer us her
pocketbook?" asked one, a we'll known
justice.
Yes" said the other, "and if I had
been as hard up as l have been some
times in my life think 1 should have
taken it."
81 wouldn't blame you," answered
the justice. "It is constant source of
wonder to me why in this age of enlight-
enment and woman suffrage our women
don't learn some common sense. How
would man look walking through the
streets holding out his pocketbook to all
he meets?"
''I've thought of scheme" said his
friend. "Now that our ladies are wear
ing vests the same as we do, why don't
they carry car fare and loose change in
one vest pocket and bills in the otheri
Then they could dispense with the pock-
etbook altogether.
well, know this, said the justice,
"a man should never be convicted OF
stealing for taking lady's pocketbook
on the street when she held it out to
him. In these times such temptation
ought to condone the offense 1t is like

Allie That Is Hard on Gloves.

Gloves figure largely in the list of nee
essary expenditures by the wives of the
cabinet officers, as upon each official en-
tertainment when they, with the presi-
dent and his wife, constitute the receiv-
ing party pair of white gloves must
be sacrificed. The fact that the func-
ton is a card reception does not lessen
the certainty that the glove worn ON the
right hand, which is extended to the
passing stream of guests, becomes, be-
fore the close of the evening, SO soiled
that no future effort at cleansing is of
the slightest avail. The glove ON the
left hand, of course, remains spotless
Mrs. Cleveland never wears a glove
ON her right hand at receptions, as her
experience during her first occupancy of
the executive mansion taught her that
By so doing she avoided the intense pain
that invariably followed great amount
of handshahing when the glove was
kept ON. Mrs. Harrison was compelled
to altogether omit haudshaking ON ac-
count of the condition of her hands,
which were at times so swollen with
rheumatism as to make the slightest
pressure a matter of positive agony.
All things considered, it would seem
the most sensible thing to omit entirely
the handshaking feature of public and
card receptions at the White House. -

The piece is really fired by electricity,

follow them for miles until they reached
the Bidston ridge, where the highest
point ON the Cheshire side of the river

"Now, look here, my man, said the

Among them are those Of particularly
large and particularly small birds, in
cluding one Of a humlning bird. There
might be easily prettier ideas than this.
One girl, who spends much Of her time

boxes. Another buys brocades, and still
another odd and beautiful Tampa All
these serve some after purposes Of beau
tifying, but the wishbones are only
