BROXTON CITIZENS SENT TO

Caught By Rusc OF Smooth Detective, Who
Went There About May ], Look
ing For Tic Timber"

Douglas, Ca, June 26-The
county commissioners of Coffee
have for some time exercised
themselves seeking some way
of breaking up illicit whisky
traffic. Those who bought would
not tell on those who sold it; so,
though it was known that an &C.
tive business was going on it was
impossible to secure proof to
convict.
About May l a rather youthful
looking man of small stature,
clean shaver, looking for tie
timber" sought entertainment
of mine host Perkins, of the
Broxton hotel. He proved to be
a wholesouled, jolly fellow, ready
for any sort of sport, and soon
had the confidence of the boys.
He was liberal and free-handcd;
believed in having a plenty of the
universally recognized antidote
for snake bite on all fishing ex-
cursions, paying for it whenever
his new friends could find the
article. His use, oryrather fond
ness for certain brands was OBJ
served, and business in that par
ticular kind became quite active.
He was an all around clever fellow
and had to be on hand at every

WALKING BAD FoR CHILDREN.
An Exercise They DO Not Like CT es
Suit Them Better.

An Exercise They DO Not Like--Csa mes
Suit Them Better.
A great many children have crooked
legs because their mothers or nurses
endeavor to make them walk before
their limbs are strong enough to bear
the weight of their bodies without in
jun The inexperienced mother takes
a pride in seeing her offspring making
attempts 10 walk, and often forces
the little one TO stand in spite of the
very obvious protestations of nature.
Nurses. too, when taking their charges
out for an airing, often force them TO
walk simply to save themselves the
trouble of carrying them.
Baby carriages are often to be
blamed for some of the erookedness
of the limbs of the rising, as well as
the risen, ge-cIaiicu. In this instance
the child is wheeled about until ii is
months old and its body is developed.
while The legs remain inactive The
result is that when the child is at last
made o bear the weight on its recre-
ant limbs they. being very soft, bend
NlutA tAt GudNCuStOllGu PRESSURE.
Young bones consist chiefly of car
tilaginous material, and are at this
stage bent with comparative ease, and,
having little elasticity become readily
set. Children should be allowed TO
creep as much as they like and when
their limbs are fit to bear their weight
they will begin Of their own accord to
make attempts TO walk.
In any case, walking is not an exer-
else to which young children take
kindly at any time. 1t is extremely
wearisome to them 1t is the poorest
form of exercise they can take. In
volying the greatest amount of fatigue
with the hast amount of active move
ment. The a,rort of keeping the spine
erect and balancing the body is very
fatiguing to the young, and this may
easily be demonstrated by taking
young child for q longish walk and
noting how very quickly it becomes
tired and begins to drag its steps Ian
guidly along.
The best form of exercise for chill
dren is one permitting of the greatest
amount OF movement and the most
exercise for the least fatigue. Games
such as children love, with hoop or
BALL are much better for them than
,ong, dreary set walks, allowing as
