play, and although no particle of gold dust large enough to be readily de- tected by the eye is allowed to escape. the greatest care cannot always avoid the falling of some small filings to the carpet.
 In purchasing these carpets great judgment is exercised. Those are sought in which the weave is as close as possible, so that the material will hold the scattered bits of gold. It is not unusual for the authorities to get $5,000 worth of gold from an old car pet. Other thrifty devices are used in order to capture escaped particles of gold. The floor sweepings are treasured with the greatest care and they furnish enough money to pay the salaries of several employees about the building. Much gold goes up the chim- neys and they are often scraped and the resultant soot and dirt scanned for gold. Employees who handle bars of gold are not permitted to dispose of the aprons, overalls or gloves with which they are provided, for when these articles are burned after they have outlived their usefulness they yield rich harvest.

E. W. Walton, Condr. $. P. Ry., 717 Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex, writes: During the summer and fall of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh reached that stage where it was actual misery and developed alarming symp- toms, such as very deep-seatedc cough, night sweats, and pains in the head and chest. I experimcnted with several so- called remedies before finally decided to take 8 thorough course of Peruna.
 "Twoof my friends had gone so far as to inform me that the thing for me to do was to resign my position and seek higher, more congenial climate. Every ono thought I had consumption and I was not expected to live very long.
 "Haying procured some Peruna, I de- | cided to give il 9 thorough test and ap- | piled myself assiduously to the task Of taking it, as per instructions, in the meantime.
 "The effects were soon apparent, all alarming symptoms disappeared and my general health became fully as good | as it had ever been in my life. "I have resorted to the use of Peruna on two or three occasions since that time to cure myself of bad colds."

contempt of government and the law, is no rude mountain woman of un- couth bearing and roueher speech. She is the embodiment of the twentieth century business woman a-bloom in Kentucky hills.
 So the quaint old Fouts homestead was put in state of siege. The Win chesters were cleaned. loaded and made ready. The revenue men were sure to come after that bold defiance
 And come they did, headed by Uni ted States Marshal F. NJ. Blair, one of the most determined and successful men in the revenue service. With him was a picked posse-and before him, we'll barricaded by a natural breast work of impenetrable rock, was Mary FoutS, the moonshine maid, with Win chesters and ammunition enough to stand off an army.
 According to the officers story they pressed forward, and then Mary Fouts fired. She deliberately, say the reve- nue men, opened the fight and made it possible for the revenue men to do their duty. They returned the fire, to a man, but Mary Fouts was safe behind the powders. Onward they pressed, and for half an hour the mi mic, one-sided battle ragged, then Depu- ty Marshal Hiram Day fell sorely wounded, and was carried away on a stretcher by his baffled companions.
 What will happen to Mary Fouts depends upon the outcome of Day s wound. If it prove fatal, as the doc tors predict, Mary Fouts will have to face charge of murder without the mitigating plea of self-defense, and Uncle Sans sense of chivalry will not be violated But at the time of writing, Mary Fouts, the moonshine maid, reigns undisturbed in the Ken lucky hills, calmly "stilling' the corn colored brew that is the pride and joy of Kentucky connoisSeurs.

Down behind a natural fortress of huge powders in eastern Kentucky a woman who has not yet seen her thir- tieth birthday is calmly, intrepidy and successfully defying the mighty government of the United States
 A few days ago, single-handed, she beat back posse of the best revenue officers Uncle Sam could muster. Her aim is true and her belief in her sov- ereign right to make her own brand of whisky from her own corn is su- preme and immovable.
 Mary Fouts, aged 27, is Americas only moonshine maid, and she is a moonshiner by birth, inclination and training. Her father was a moon- sinner before her, and the several ram- ifications of her family hold records for battle with revenue officers that any mountaineer might envy
 For 40 years the Beaver Creek dis trict, on the Knott-Floyd-Letcher bor der, has been a moonshine stronghold, the scene of many a pitched battle between moonshinerS and government officials. Blood of both sides has stained it's narrow ravines and pic turesque mountain paths. If record of lives sold for the mountain brew had been kept doubtless the greater number of notches would have been cut by Uncle Sam. But when it came to this woman, this tall, stalwart, calm-eyed, sure aiming young woman on her native heath. Uncle Sam was baffled. Chivalry died hard, even when backed by law and justice, and to send his picked shots against a woman was more than even Uncle Sam wanted to do. In time the clash had to come, yet the woman won against the law and it's armed officers.
 Mary Fouts was born in the rude home where she now distills what is said to be the best brand of whisky obtainable in all Kentucky Her baby eyes studied the still, and her baby ears learned to catch quick, ominous whispers. Just as the child of the proverbial artist accepts poverty as the price of parental genius, as the child of the king believes that royal ty can do no wrong, so this child of the mountains believed that making whisky without government consent was the inalienable right of hill peo- pie.
 Her parents were ambitious for the little Mary, however, and sent her to school, where she proved exception ally bright, and acquired an amount of "book learning" which dazzled her hunble relatives. But she never for got her love of the mountain life and never lost her grip on mountain tra- ditions.
 When other girls were writing notes to each other or making paper dolls Mary Fouts was drawing pictures of stills, and finally she presented to her astonished teacher a perfect repro duction of a still, including the worm" which she had evolved from some odd bits of copper that came her way.
 During her twelfth year, when home on her vacation. she made run" of very fair moonshine whisky in an old

 AS far as l can figure it out. the safest part of the machine is the chauf- feur, because he knows which way to jump.
 Oh! how I admire those chauffeurs who point the machine at you and dare you to get out of the way
 We have no word in the English lan- guage which is brash enough to sit on busy barouche and cut loose.
 That's why we had to reach over to Paris and pull word out of the I. ench.
 Chauffeur is the word we grabbed. and l think we ought to give it back at the first opportunity.
 Did you ever notice one of those particular guys when they try to say chauffeur?

 The motto of the automobile is: Bump others, or they will bump you!"
 And the automobile face. Can you tie it?
 The automobile face is caused by the fact that faces can't ride as fast as machinery; consequently, the mus cles between the lips and the mouth become overtrained and lose their cun- ming.
 If you wish to buy an automobile for yourself and become a chauffeur, do so, Bunch, and Peaches and l will miss your boyish laughter about the house, and we will sit by the fireside in the twilight and talk about what you

Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked's expert ence with a would-be convert which he related to his congregation in New York bears close resemblance to an oc- currence which the late Rev. Dr. John Hall spoke of several years before his death. man came to him and said that he had resolved to renounce his faith and to devote the rest of his life to the conversion of the Jews, although all his friends were of that persuasion. He told Of the eagerness of hundreds to follow him and wanted to have the management of mission, if the church would pay the expense of main taining it. Dr. Hall said he would consider the matter, made inquiry as to the mans character and when he called for an answer declined the offer with thanks.

 On the level Bunch, if there was any place in our house which Peaches didn't sprinkle with kerosene it must have been 6 few of my collars and cuffs which hadn't come from the laundry yet.
 For two days. Bunch, it rained kero- sene in our household.
 For breakfast the toast was scented with kerosene, and it floated like a rainbow on top of the cuffee.
 For luncheon the codfish cakes be- haved like 8 leaky lamp, and the shredded onions lost all their cour age and wanted to leave the room.
 For dinner the corn beef looked like roast on John D. Rockefeller, and the delicate blossoms of the sauer- kraut were all sl1riveled up, and tasted like the Ohio river near Park ershlrg.
 In the meantime Bunch. the mosqui- toes are having the time of their lives.
 They thought we were giving a Mardi Gras for their benefit, so they sent out invitations to all their friends, with the result that our little family lost more blood than is spilled in a South American revolution.
 Peaches has abandoned the kero- sene idea, and is now fumigating the house with something which falls on the insulted nose like hard slap on the face. so ! am writing this letter cut in the barn.

GoLD.sEARtNG CARPET.
Floor Coverings That Grow Valuable
 with Ago.

A acquisition has come to the treas ury department at Washington from the San Francisco mint asking that new carpet be placed in the adjusting room, as the one there now has been worn out after ten years service. In ,rdinary instances such requisition .yould excite no unusual interest on ..le part of the treasury officials, but in this case great care has to be taken in removing the old carpet, for it has become more valuable with each days service, because it is literally lined with gold dust.
 The old carpet will be burned, and it Is expected that between $4.000 and $5,O0O will be realized from the ashes. In the adjusting room at San Fran cisco files are used to trim the surplus gold from rough pieces. The gold is first run off into blanks and then stamped. so it frequently happens that a piece is a trifle over weight or un- even. The files are then brought into

 I don't wish to discourage you, Bunch, but if you have bundle of spare coin. why don't you invest it in a building lot in the suburbs? "a lot which runs not backwards or for wards. and which bites not like an ad- der nor stingeth like serpent, and upon which no coroner can sit for any length of time without getting the lumbago.
 Speaking of gasoline naturally brings us to kerosene.
 We have been getting along nicely out here in the country, with the pos sible exception that Peaches has tried to assassinate all the mosquitoes in the neighborhood with almost fatal results to herself.
 Peaches seems to have labOred under the impression that the proper way to assassinate a mosquito is to throw bomb at it and then cross the fingers and hope for the best.
 At any rate, she read somewhere in
 
 sassinate the mosquito is to coax bunch of them up in the corner and throw vitriol in their faces, which gen erally causes them to be ashamed of themselves and makes them lead less bloodthirsty lives.
 We'll, Peaches tried this idea, but it 50 happened that my best pair of trou- sers were hanging in the same cor ner which she picked out to work her ithlrd degree on the skeets, with the re- suit that my trousers departed this world in great haste, while the mosqut- toes put their stingers up their sleeves ana ran away, laughing wildly. Then took Peaches out in vacant iot' lar from the bosom of her fam ny, and explained to her the scientific adherence between mosquitoes and a
