THE QuEsREsT SALOON.
1t Is Nothing More Than Gourd with q
Crooked Handle.

1t Is Nothing More Than n Gourd with .
Crooked Handle.
The queerest saloon ever known In
kentucky has been discovered in Har-
Ian county. 1t is huge gourd, with a
crooked handle. This gourd was hung
on tree.
On a board over it was rudely in
scribed: "Order Office" In the side OF
the gourd was hole large enough to
admit quart bottle. There was not a
house in sight where this gourd was
hanging, and the story of how it came
to be used as saloon is a peculiar one.
For many years Long John" Rat

Of Harlan Court House. The revenue

officers were unable TO find his still, and
he sold hundreds Of gallons Of whisky
every year. His customers were so well
treated by the old man that none Ct
them felt inclined to inform on him.
John Ed Bogie was his distiller, and
he saved up the money the old man
paid him and all that he could make by
selling whisky ON the outside, and about
two years ago started distillery OF his
own on Crank's creek, which empties
into Crummies creek, about mile be-
low Ratcliff's still.
OF course the old man tried to per-
suade him not TO leave, and actually Of
haed him double the salary he had
been paying; but Bogie left, and was
soon making moonshine on his own
hook.
The main road crosses Crummies
creek almost at the fork, and Long
John" conceived the idea of putting up
his silent saloon at this point. He ac-
cordingly rugged it up in the tree, and
for nearly two years il continued to do
business at the old stand.
Finally Bogie hired some of his friends
one night to take the gourd down.
which they did, and 1t il now in the
possession of Maj. George B. Cockrell.
Of Cumberland Gap.
The gourd 10 one Of the largest OF its
species, and has capacity Of nearly
half buaheL It II very thick and
strong, and shows no evidence OF having
been exposed 70 the elements for nearly
two years.
1t is said that nobody ever complained
of having cent of money or bottle
of whisky stolen from this gourd, but
the whisky furnished through the me-
drum of this strange saloon was often
the cause of bloody fights among the
mountaineers.

oueerly Labeled Mu..aohe Cup.,

Gently ordered from Germany large
consignment of cups, mugs, ETC., beau
tifully labeled with those touching in

with the rest a lot of mustache cups,
they were well and duly made, but great

of beautifying the person. Ioeas as 10
what really constitutes beauty differs
widely, but the general intent is the
same. The couture that is designed in
Paris is intended to make the belle Of
Europe and America more fetching, and
the African belle srranges the kinks
that grow on her head with the same
purpose in view.
In some respects the African belle

Eleven Years in Dying.

Norval C. Miller, of Wheeling, Va,
died Tuesday at his home in North
Wheeling. Eleven years ago he was in
jured in an accident, and all the doctors
agreed that he must die. Ever since
he has lain in bed in one position, face
down, and his vitality puzzled the ply
sicians. For several years he has been
wasted to a skeleton. He partly sup

dog showed his teeth. The fox grinneo,
too. The dog wagged his tail. The
fox couldn't, because it didn't have any,
but it looked as though it would like to
wag. The dog then got up and began
to trot off toward the woods, looking
over his shoulder at the fox. The fox
followed.
An hour later Albert Jones saw a deer
crossing the Dix swamp chopping on
the run. He waited, and in a few min
utes heard the dogs zip. When the
dog came in sight on the trail the fox
was alongside. The -wo had made up
and routed deer. Pills dog has been
in the woods more than ever, and it is
believed that he runs with the fox he
couldn't lick.

turned and started for the woods, but
the dog was too close. The fox had
got to fight, and that right away, If the
dog could make it.
The fox faced about and started at the
dog full speed, and running low down,
as If it were keeping its knees Bonded.
1t looked like a headon collision, but it
wasn't. Just as the two were about to
chaw noses the fox jumped sideways,
and turned in time to nip the dog in the
flank as he went tearing past
in a way that drew blood. The
dog turned after it had gone ten
feet, and saw the fox headed for
him with it's ears laid back, where
upon the dog laid his ears back, and
made for the fox as before. The fox
got close to the dog again, hoped side
days, and nipped the dogs other flank.
If ever q dog was fighting mad it was
Fhil's fighting dog at that moment. He
turned with a growl Of rage, and. as
before, the fox was headed for him full
tilt apparently just as anxious as be-
fore for the rough-and-tumble grapple
for which the dog was aching. That
made the dog forget his past expert
ences, and once more he made for the
fox. This time the fox leaped over the
dog and bit him in the small of the
back. 1t doubled the dog up in heap,
and he sat up to look over his shoulder
at the fox, which was sitting on its
launches licking its chops, as if splitting
out hair.
Phil Perry's fighting dog is uncom-
monty smart, besides being fighter,
and he knew when he was on the los
ing side of the trouble. Although the
dog was about as strong as ever, and not
ut all winded, he knew that in the end
he was bound to be whipped. He
looked the fox in the eye and licked his
chops The fox licked its CHOPS. The

PECULIAR FRIENDSHIP.
Phil Perry's Fighting Dog Couldn't
Lick the Fox
So the nl-Assorted Twain Went Deer
Hunting Together and Became In
separable Chums-A Queer Story
from York State.

A tall, ungainly sort of beast, with as
handsome brown eyes as animal ever
had, came on the run swinging down the
old Pardy clearing up in Herkimer
county, N. Y. AT first glance it seemed
to resemble none of the Adirondack
animals known to woodsmen. 1t was
doglike, but lacked tail. 1t was lanky
like a young deer, but was dirty brown
instead of white, spotted red. Its head,
however, was of a shape and form, with
ears, such as foxes have. After the re-
semblance to a fox was noted other fea-
lures were seen to be caricatures of the
fox, but the lack of tail was explain
able only by the superstition that it had
been shot or bitten off.
Every six or eight rods the tramp fox
stopped and looked back over his shout
der with his ears cooked up. Before he
got across the clearing the yip-yip Of
Phil Perry's fighting dog was heard
over the ridge, and that showed why the
fox was running and stopping to look
back at that time of the day. Suddenly
the fox turned and ran like streak ON
it's back trail half dozen rods, then it
turned sharply to the right and leaped
just as far as it could every jump for a
