Fouts. The government felt that pa tience, even with a fair woman. had ceased to be a virtue. The dignity of the law must be maintained, with out bloodshed if possible, with blood shed if necessary. But first diplo- macy.
 A revenue officer sent to Miss Fonts by trusted friend to the moonshiner this message in writing:
 Meet It's at the schoolhouse on Bea- yer Creek Thursday and promise you will never violate the law, never moonshine any more, and We will see to it that you are fully pardoned for all"
 T will never meet you" was her curt reply, and to her mother she said;
 There's no use talking-I will keep this still going in spite of all the gcT- ernment. It is duty to you I mean to fulfill. Father stilled all his life and stilled good whisky. There is no reason why we shouldn't keep up the family reputation. They will never take mo alive she is said to have added

SHE GOT HER BEAR.
Prodded Him Out with Scissors, Then
 TomahaWked Him.

As for that grit of women-meaning Indian women-which has been cele brated in well-known book, there is story which is good evidence of their physical courage.
 A dealer in skins tells of a squaw who was walking along on her snow shoes one day when her small boy saw a bear buried up under the snow in his winter sleep. She could not kill him where she was, so she lashed a pair of scissors to a sapling, prodded him out, and smashed his head in with her tomahawk.
 T gave her ten dollars for the skin," writes the dealer, .'so it wasn't a bad mornings work. Another ingenious piece of hunting that remember was accomplished by an Indian who found two moose in yard-that is, the snow clearing which the animals make when the frosts are breaking up and the snow is too sharp and brittle for their comfort.
 "He crept up and got the female

but also that it would be more than doubtful whether he could re-enter the states subsequently,. Therefore, the only feasible alternative is to get a wife over from Japan without going to fetch her.
 All this appears to have been an ticipated very cleverly by the we'll known MT. Shimanuki, a prominent Christian. Some time ago he estab- lished in the KoisikaWa suburb of Tokyo an institution called the Ryok- kokai. which may be freely translated Self-Help society.
 The inmates of this institution, mostly graduates from girls high schools. receive education in all sub jects likely to be of practical utility, such as housekeeping, cooking, sew ing, typewriting, etc. In fact they are expressly equipped to be the wives of Japanese settlers in the United States.
 It is between this institution and the Japanese settlers that photo graphs have been exchanged, and by this means the settlers are enabled to obtain helpmates whose qualifica- tions and record are known and whose appearance is rendered familiar by the photographs. The idea is that if the settlers thus marry and bring up families, their sons will become naturalized American citizens, and by degrees the anti-Japanese feeling in the United States will die out. The conception seems eminently practical and useful, nor can we doubt for a moment that the Japanese authorities in Tokyo will refrain from interfering with the program-Japanese Weekly Mail

coffee boiler in her mothers kitchen. At 16, her education finished, Mary Fouts declared against muslin frocks and cross-road dances. She wanted the free if hazardous life of the moon sinner.
 A woman moonshiner! Even bold Kentucky gasped
 Women there were who had protect ed their men," and fought for their men" and even died with their men" but woman "who wanted to be a leader of men in moonshining, we'll that was going some.
 A few years later, Mary Fouts came into her own. Her father died, and she became the head of his household and the manipulator of his famous still.
 And what was more, Mary Fouts made a whisky of no mean reputa- ton. She raised her own crop Of corn and coaxed it as only farmer who loves his growing things can coax. And then she made it into the right sort of whisky, pure and un- adulterated
 T would not adulterate my whisky for any price, nor for the whole world" said Miss Fouts in a recent intervieW-and she meant it. No head of a great food factory ever re- garded the output of his establishment with greater reverence and pride and affection than does Mary Fouts the product of her illicit still. And down there in Kentucky when man wants the real thing in whisky he demands Mary Fout3' whisky, willingly pay ing the higher price asked for her brand.
 Now, of course, the United States government, with it's mighty system of officers and spies, was not ignorant of Mary Fouts and her calm. unwaver- ing violation of the laws. But how to reach Mary Fouts without sacrificing national pride by spilling the blood of a woman who sinned only because she thought it no sin, but her right, was a problem even for a great govern ment. If Mary F'outs would kindly sneak out of her stronghold and mur- der man in cold blood, then the law might take it's course. But Mary Fouts was distressingly peaceable and in- dustrious. She attended strictly to her own business.
 Mary Fouots did not come to town nor haunt highways. But she certain tainly did know how to guard her property, particularly her still. This had a natural barricade of rocks, and behind this barricade Mary Fouts kept a collection of Winchesters and ann munition which meant a fight to a finish-and it is sorry thing for posse of men to find themselves fight ing against one intrepid woman who had been guilty of no greater offense than turning the product of her own land into cash according to the meth ods followed by her ancestors for gen. erations And of these ancestors she was as proud as the scions of English nobility of the ancestors who fought under William the Conqueror.

"Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore.

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
 sands Of DeVout Pilgrims.

Thousands of pilgrims from the va rioHs outlying villages and other parts of the HooghIy district poured in from an early hour in the morning to the temples of Jagernath, says the Cal cutta Statesman
 The image of the god is placed on conspicuous part of the temple, so that if can be viewed at an advantage by the immense crowd of pilgrims, and there at a certain fixed hour the bathing ceremony commences.
 The most curious part of the fest val is that water is not poured on the image of the god until a certain small bird is found sitting on the topmost banner of the temple. There is a pop ular belief that the bird comes from Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim age, 10 Maheoh on the day of this festival. and his very presence is an indication that the ceremony should commence Immediately after the bath the bird disappears

TO land Edward HanIon. of this city. as
the successor Of the late manager. Clarke

Norman Elberfeld.
Farrell has endeavOred TO obtain the
services of Hanlon on previous occasions.
it has been pretty well sabstantiated but
nothing ever came Of it beyond weIl-au-
thenucated rumOrs OF business talks he
tween the two. This time It would seem
that Farrell has the best chance yet to
obtain Hanlons signature to a mana
gerial contract.
II must be understood, however. that
there is as yet no ground for asserting
that Farrell is trying 10 get HanIon to
manage the New York Americans. There
is only the suspicion that he may be al
ready at work trying TO do so or that he
will make the effort.
1t is not known how the Baltimore man
would regard such overtures. He cut
loose from the managerial worries g
baseball because he had such a long siege
Of that that he wanted the rest and the
pleasure OF managing his own property.
He has not said whether he only wished
TO rest this year or whether he proposed
20 quit baseball for good
President Hanlon went to Boston early
this week TO see his son Edward of on a
European trip. and it was supposed that
he would return to Baltimore yesterday.
Instead, came messages pOstpcning the
return for frst twelve hours and then
twelve hours longer. The messages re-
ceived from him were from New York.
