Illicit Whisky Manufacture.
From the Kansas City Journal: 1--WE
are making life wearisome for the
Arkansas moonshiners," said Col. w.
S. Wheeler, special agent of the reve-
nue. department, who was at Collector
Withers' Office yesterday checking the
records of his department. Since
the present campaign was opened
against them We have NInded thirty
i've or them, and we will get the rest
very shortly and absolutely clean out
the business In northern Arkansas" he
continued. THE moonshiners shot a
posse OF officers there last fall and
killed some Of them. Then the depart
ment gave orders to clean out the
gang, and we are doing 1t. The hunt
is on and the game will be caught or
run out OF the country" The horde of
moonshiners that came into Arkansas
and Missouri along the line were from
Georgia principally. Three years ago
war was opened on them there, and
they were hunted so hard they had to
leave. The unfrequented woods and
Hills VI AIhdHSdS gave many OF them
hiding place, while others went into
the Ozarks. They were chased so hard
by officers under the late Gen. 10 Shell
by they had to leave Missouri and
they went into the Arkansas noun
tains. When a posse Of deputy mar
shals and revenue agents started after
them they were led into ambush and
four killed. 1t was war then, and
every man who refused to aid the fed
eral officers was arrested. The spies
for the moonshiners were shot or cap
tured. The war has been relentless.
When clear case against a man was
made out so heavy bond was required
that he could not give IT, and as they
were gathered behind the bars the
business lost its allurements.
In chasing them out of the Ozarks,
Gen. Shelby's men had repeated shoot
ing scrapes, and wounded several men.
The st. Louis marshals have captured
a number OF the men, and the business
is just about wound up.

SuBpuINC THE BICYCLE.
Mental and Physical Struggles OF the
Man Who Learned Late.

Man Who Learned Late
From the Kansas City Star: Ac-
companying the other harbinger or
spring, the robin, the game of marble
IN the alley, the tan shoe, comes the
learner On the bicycle. The cool, brac-
ing air of an evening and the long
stretches of smooth roadway tempt
him, and in his minds eye he pictures
spins into the country, healthful, in
vorgating exercise and an appetite like
that OF plowman. But above all ne
is impelled to learn by dread or be-
ing considered faddist. All OF his
friends ride. Already he imagines they
look upon him askance and speak OF
him as a sort of Philip Noland-a man
without a wheel. For six successive
seasons he has held out against the
temptation and now he curses himself
for his pains. Why didn't he learn
then when everybody was learning, in
stead of postponing the ordeal until
now, when all are past masters in the
art? So he may be seen every fine
evening upon the level, asphalt paved
side streets struggling to subdue an I'M
tanned steed of the patents OF 80, which
costs him 20 cents an hour, with 81
indemnity against breakage. All this
is gall and wormwood to the modest
man. Not that he cares for the knocks
and bruises. He would gladly double
their number could he but escape the
prying eyes, the derisive outlaws and
half-suppressed singers OF the men
and women who have passed through
1t all years, years before. For these
reasons he is creature OF apprehen-
sion and agony. After discovering the
fallacy of the theory that the art can
be acquired in back kitchen with the
curtains drawn he remembers par
ticularly unfrequented side street, lined
with trees that help TO obscure the
light of moon and lamps. He takes OFF
the handle bars of his machine to give
the impression that the machine is out
of order and that he is on his way with
ii to the repair shop. This furnishes
him with an excuse for not riding.
Then he sallies forth, leading his
wheel. The unfrequented by-street is
due north, so of course he goes south,
and tacks back to the windward side,
like a yacht, and beats and maneuvers
and hauls down his halyards and
reeves the pinnacle and so on and final
ly he heaves to in front of livery
stable, which he goes through till he
reaches the alley and then by sud
den port movement he energies trem-
bling and demoralized upon the dark
ened thoroughfare. OF course, every
body stops to watch him tangle him
self in his wheel. They gather in little
groups along the driveway, and when
he falls and appears about to slide, BIZ
| cycle and all, into the catch basin Of a
sewer, they can between spasms Of i'll
timed mirth tender him assistance. 1t
is well TO leave him at such a time as
| this to settle with the man from whom
he rented the bicycle and with his
| Maker.

Fire broke out in the sawmill at

fire was a with small private water

FLIABLE GLASS PLATES.
Chinese Work Which Makes One of Old
Plinys Stories Probable.


From the Strand Magazine: 1t APP
pears that the Chinese have the art of
making pliable glass plates. They are
not solid, but plated from spun glass
and made gorgeous by brilliant oriental
coloring. The strangest thing about
them is that, although they are made
of glass, one can bend them backward
and forward as if they were putty or
pliable clay. In hearing of these
strange plates one is reminded of a
story originally by Pliny in his Natural
History, and popular during the mid
die ages AS narrated in the "Gesta
Romanorum"-tha strange repository
of monkish lore-the tale runs thus.
1T happened that certain artificer
fabricated plate which, being exhibit
ed before the emperor (Tiberius), he
attempted, but ineffectively, to break
it. 1t bent, however, beneath his eff
forts, and the artificer, applying a
hammer and working upon the glass
as upon copper, presently restored it
to its level Tfberius inquired by what
art this was effected, and the other re-
piled that it was secret not to be dis
closed. Immediately he was ordered
to the block, the emperor alleging that
II such an art should be practiced gold
and silver would be reckoned as moth
ing" The "Gesta Romanorum" pre-
tends to be nothing but collection of
amusing stories, and in 1t Pliny fact
and myth are SO mingled that 1t is hard
to separate them. In this particular
case, however, it appears that the old
Roman naturalist might have been tell
ing the truth after all

Cleanliness begins within. II q man isn't
clean inside, he is far from Goodness. A consti-
pated sinner is stencil in the nostrils OF the
Deity. A man whose food sours IN his stomach.

the world hatefully with jaundiced eye, and con-
juring up evil thoughts in his tortured brain.
