work of draining the lake by digging
a canal to the Mississippi River, but
the fishermen enjoined him from

COUNTERFElTERS.
Den Located IN Nashville and Two
Arrests Made.

Arrests Made.
Nashville, June 13.-A well equipped
eounterfeiting den was located in Nash
Vile Thursday and. j. S. and J. W..
Hart were arrested by Chief of Detec.-
tives Marshall, Detectives Irwin and
Dowd and Deputy United States Mar
shall j. W. Duggan. For some. time
the Federal authorities have known
that the queer was being showed to
a certain extent in Nashville. Nickels
of a spurious make have been handed
to street car conductors and newsboys
and have turned up in other places.
Mr.. Duggan says that he has probably
come across hat full of the bad coin.
The counterfeit was badly executed,
having all the appearance OF being
the work of a novice. The metal had
different color from the genuine,
and could easily be 0etected by any
one. Deputy Marshall Duggan said
that the amount of material found in
the house was the largest he had ever
seen III counterfeit den. Some un-
finished counterfeit dimes were also
found, indicating that the men max
ing the money were preparing to go
into the business ON larger scale.

SQUIRRELS DARE THE CATS.
Frisky Little Creatures Have Good
Times at the Expense of Feline
Companions.

Have YOU ever seen a squirrel dare
cat? 1t is the most amusing exhibit
tion of mischievous audacity, says the
Boston Transcript. A large colony of
fat, enterprising squirrels live in the
big elm trees of Walnut street, Brook
line, the descendants of pair of tame
SQUIRRELS that were owned by family
occupying one Of the lovely old estates
of early Brookline in that vicinity,
and which were finally liberated to es-
tablish themselves and their progeny
as permanent residents of the street.
They are the tantalizing despair of
numerous cats that haunt the place in
search of toothsome morsels. The
little creatures are wonderfully tame
and very quickly respond to friendly
oyertures in the shape of nuts, which
thew soon learn to take from ones
hand. They scamper up and down the
big trees, whisking their bushy tails
in saucy defiance of their feline pursu-
ers. who, with eager eyes and water
ing mouths, follow the tantalizing mo-
tions of the squirrels as they frisk
about alluringly just out of reach of
the cruel claws. Sometimes the
game is carried on SO daringly that it
seems only by hairs breadth that a
squirrel tragedy is averted, and yet
very few occur, and their number and
freedom seem undiminished.

Compressed whisky.

No more will the man have to 90
out between the acts to "see friend. -
For man in New York state has in
vented highly concentrated form of
intoxicant. 1t is in the shape of a pill.
and man can carry several homicidal
sprees in his vest pocket and keep &C.
stasy with him during the long and
otherwise exhausting hours at the
theaters. The pills are compressed
whisky, treated something like LIQUID
hydrogen, and other liquefactions that
are read about in chemistries and new
er seen, because it is Of no use to see
them, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The globules are dissolved in the
mouth, like certain other drugs, and
the things thereafter begin to hap
pen. The smuggling Of sin into hither-
to respectable playhouses and other
places of entertainment is henceforth
easy, and prohibition is in the final
throes of resignation.
