BLIND TIGER CAPTURED.
The First Raid Of an Illegal whiskey Joint
Since Grenada Went Dry.

Grenada had a new experience We'd
neSday afternoon. One Of her blind
tigers was captured, though the
keeper was not apprehended The
location Of the place was on Depot
street next to Greenhaw's meat mark
ct. The house is the little brick and
is the property of Mr.. G Weeks
Until a few weeks ago Mr. James
Mayhem occupied the building. but
he sold out to Mr.. Keiser. who was
indicted Wednesday for illegally re-
failing liquor. This indictment caused
the raid to be made. keiSer has been
in and about Grenada for several
years and has borne a very unsayory
reputation. He is a native OF the
North.
The sheriff had to break into the
tiger through Il back window. He
found complete outfit for running
Il saloon. The place was divided by
partitions into eight rooms, and to 90
from the front to the rear person
would almost required guide. Not
much liquor was found, as no doubt
the stock had been cleared out in
time to escape capture, but plenty Of
| bottles and other evidences were
found. In one room trap door had
been made and some whiskey was
/ found under the floor. The ice chest
mad ice in it. thus showing that the
proprietor had recently been doing
business. The shelf goods which were
kept in front to leave the impression
that the place was legitimate busi-
ness stand were found to he mostly
empty cans and a few groceries. In
addition to the tiger outfit a regular
gambling den was found in the real
of the long frame building just below
the corner brick. Two rooms haC
been papcred carpeted and lighted b!
electricity and furnished with chair
and nice padded table for the pat
rons of gambling. These were alS'
raided.
A large number Of people visited til,
places and many were shocked to know
that such had been allowed to eXis
so long. Many Of them were satisfied
the tiger existed, but did not know
how complete it was. Keiser left town
it is supposed, about the time the in
dictment was returned.
/ The raid has had "a salutary effect
1t ought to be followed by more.
The grand jury also returned an in
: dictment against Mr.. Weeks, tn
owner of the building in which tn
tiger was located. He is charge,
with allowing the Illegal business t
be carried on in his building.

CAPABLE IN AIR, ON LAND,
AND IN WATER.

A shrewd old Yankee horse
trader, after years of success of
a kind to make David Harum look
small, got badly stuck on a nag
so feeble and spiritless that it
squatted like a jackrabbit every
time it's ribs were touched. The
new owner felt very sore, but de-
termined to do what he could to
retrieve. He invited deacon of
the village church for ride, and
himself rode the new horse. See
ing rabbit, he jabbed the horse
with his heels, and the animal
promptly squatted. When the
deacon inquired the cause, the
trader explained that the horse
had the faculties of a setter, and
set whenever he saw game. A
rise of partridges brought forth
another manifestation, through
the traders heels and then the
deacon insisted on trading his
own horse and $50 for the sport
ing equine. On the way home,
the deacon rode his now pur.
chase. Fording stream, he
raised his feet to keep them dry
and accidentally jabbed the horse
in the ribs, whereupon the ami
NAL sat down in the water, wet
ting the rider from feet TO chest
WHATS the matter, Zeke p
called the deacon. ''IIe can't see
no birds nor rabbits now -
"Fish, deacon, exclaimed Eel Q
solemnly. "That critter's $ a sport
thru and thru"

USEFUL HINTS.

An unusual dish seen at lunch
con not long ago was chicken
mayonnaise served in a ring of
ham jelly. The former was pre-
pared in the usual way, with one
third diced celery, and about two
cupfuls were piled in the hollow
of the ring after it was turned
out on the platter, the jelly rest
ing in bed of water-cress. To
make the jelly whip a half-pint of
thick cream till quite stiff, and
stir in a cup of strong aspic jelly,
cool but not set, and add the con-
tents of small jar of potted ham.
Whip all together thoroughly, add
few drops of carmine to give a
pink finland pack in a ring mould.
Set in a cool place for a couple of
hours to harden.
In cooking meat IN covered
pan never open to basic. The COW
er should be left on from first to
last.
Fastidious persons always
moisten the envelope rather than
the stamp in preparing a letter
for the mail. The thoughtless
majority who do the reverse
should be often reminded not on
ly of it's needlessness, but especi-
ally of it's serious possibilities.
An English physician says that
the mucilage itself is poisonous,
producing what is known as the
postage stamp tongue.
There are, it seems, an mex
pert way and an expert way to do
so small thing as ripping a gar
ment. The wrong treatment
sometimes puts perfectly good
garment beyond the possibility
of making over. Hooks, eyes, but
tons, clasps, etc., should be taken
off with great care and patience
bias seams carefully held that
they may not be stretched, and
all threads neatly pulled out, aft
er they are well cut. to prevent
kuottlng resistance. Scissors
should not be used for ripping
sharp, pointed knife does the
work better. Lace trimmings
should be most carefully taken
off without pulling or shipping,
and, if to be put away, should be
pulled straight, all loose threads
picked out and be rolled around a
smooth wooden stick. -Harper's
