WHISKY IS WHISKY.
1t Can't Be Made by Simply Coloring
aud E1avoring Alcohol.

Washington, June Lloyd w. Bow
ers, solicitor general of the United
States, To-Day submitted to President
Taft, his opinion as to what the term
whisky means in law.
In effect Solicitor General Bowers
holds after discussing at great length
what the term, whisky meant at the
time of the passage of the pure food
law, that the public does not consider
that coloring or f1avorihg matter can
make whisky out of what otherwise
was not whisky. Whisky is regarded
generally and naturally as having a
flavor and properties or it's known.
There is no more reason for saying
alcohol becomes whisky because colored
and Favored like some true whisky than
for saying that alcohol becomes BRAN
dy because colored or favored like some
brandy he said.
Ion the other hand the mere addi-
ton of harmless coloring or fiavoring
matter to what is previously whisky
does not destroy it's whisky character
unless such addition unduly dilutes or
otherwise affects the essential proper
ties of the whisky.
whisky having been in all its his
tory extensively and variously colored
and favored by addition of extra mat
tiers, such coloring and f1avoring car
not be considered illegitimate or in
compatible with the name whisky. The
United States pure food law, also pro-
V;des in terms that the addition 'o1
harmless coloring favoring ingredients
used for the purpose of coloring and
navoring only is consistent with thu
term blend and therefore may be
DONE"
The mixture of whisky with a1coho
or neutral spirits, is entitled to the
name whisky, Mr. Bowers holds. pro-
1ided the mixture retains a substan.
tlal amount of bye-products in pro-
portion to the volume of the mixture
giving distinct favor and properties.

somebody ii be made ter paw fer
this" The words were Kissed rather
than spoken, and the boys fingers
closed cOnvulsively on the barrel of
his long rifle. 1t was not yet noon, but
the shadows Of the forest were thick
around him. Stray CLEANS of sunlight
came through occasional openings in
the foliage. and one Of these fell at the
boys feet and rested upon the dead
body Of a large deerhound 1t just
touched the delicate face and ears. but
left in plying shadow the ugly wound
made by the bullet. AS the young
mountaineer gazed at the dark scar
his eye cleaned fiercely.
Somebody IL pay fer hit" he re-
peated savagely. IAN low tibet some
body IL be Tom Peters-the low down,
sneakin' spy an traitor. He's driv pap
into the mountains by his lynn an tale

what he likes with our family cos
Pm a boy. But m show him! Hit
shan't be said I'm the best shot In the
mounting fer nothin'. I'll end this old
quart now fer good n always"
Then his mood changed. Letting his
rifle fall upon the ground. he threw
himself beside the dead body Of his
friend.
Poor old Driverr' he sobbed. "Can't
you speak ter me? Amt you n me
goin' on any more hunts? Poor old
doggie, poor old doggiev' For some
time he lay there sobbing bitterly. Then
he rose and began to scoop hole in
the loose sand. Then he lifted the
dead body Of his friend and laid it
gently in it's last resting place.
''Goodby, old doggie." he said as he
turned away. Il wish you knew what
Pm going fer. You'd rest more easy"
He moved along slowly and eau
tiously and paused frequently to look
around Across wild ravines and up,
up the narrow mountain path slowly
and stealthily he moved. and never for
moment did the angry CLEAN leave
his eyes or hiss mouth lose it's reso-
lutte harshness.
On this side the range was wild and
almost inaccessible, and the cabins Of
the hardy mountaineers were far
apart Perched like an eagles nest on
a narrow shelf Of rock and hidden
from the valley below by a thick
growth of chestnuts was the home of
Tom Peters. His nearest neighbor was
Jake Winthrop. who had built his
cabin in the widest part Of gloomy
ravine three miles down the mountain.

been good friends. but that was years
ago. A sudden quarrel at a shooting

match had begun the feud. Tom Pc
tiers was badly wounded and confined
to his bed for months. In his first
anger he had sworn to kill Winthrop
on sight. but as be recovered he SEEM
ed to think better of it.
AS the years went by the breach be-
came wider. and the children grew up
with the feud as part of their heritage.
1t had long been suspected in the
valley that Winthrop was engaged in
moonshining. but proof was difficult
Several times the officers had made
sudden descents upon his place, only
to be surprised by his blank looks Of
wonder and willingness to show them
around
But at last they had their revenge
One dark night they stole into the
ravine and found him at work. He
had escaped himself, but the still and
the supply of whisky were destroyed.
Since then he had kept in hiding.
Food and information were brought
to him by his son. and the two spent
long hours in discussing plans Of re-
venge. Both were fully convinced that
Peters was the instigator Of the raid.
He had known of the existence Of the
still. Indeed. he had helped to make
1t many years before. He was familiar
with the secret entrance to the ravine
and knew all about Winthrop's habit
Of working at night And only few
weeks before the boy had seen him in
the settlement talking with one of the
officers. No: there was no doubt who
was the secret enemy.
