Moonshiners Were Children.

A party of revenue officers who re
turned from the notorious York settle
ment in the dark corner" of South
Carolina, reported they had found
three children, none more than ten
years old, making brandy with a still
they had constructed themselves.
This is one of the most out-of-the
way sections In the country, and
when the officers made the raid they
found little apparent effort to hide
the stills. The children evidently had
seen the work going on all their lives
and had been brought up to look on
1t as an honorable means of making
livelihood.
The still used by the children con
sisted of a wooden bucket for cap,
q pair of kegs for "doublers" and a
bored poplar limb for a worm
through which brandy was trickling
into a beer bottle.

Veteran Trainers Story of "Cripple"
That Made Show of the Rest
of His Field.

A group of horsemen were talking
shop" in the lobby of the Raleigh. The
conversation turned to events of long
ago, and Theodore F. Coles Of Char
lottesville, Va, trainer of thorough
breds, whose first experience with the
runner dates back to the days short
ly following the war; told this one:
There was a horse called Toana-
you remember him, probably, for he
started in races at Gloucester. He was
a fast horse, and could beat pretty
nearly anybody's animal for six fur
longs. Long-continued racing had its
effect on the horse, and in his latter
days his legs gave way. Repeated ap-
plications of the firing iron helped to
keep him going, but his legs always
were under suspicion and required the
most careful attention. One day they
brought him down from Gutenberg
and entered him in a race. The horse
opened in the betting at long odds,
but was backed off the states before
the bugle called 'em to the post Joe
Bergen, who afterward was killed in
race, had the mount. Joe didn't
know anything about the underpinning
of his mount until he got to the post,
when he saw Starter Pettingill look
ing down at Toana's front legs. On
one of them he wore a bandage,
through which the iodine had soaked,
and out of the top Of the bandage
oozed vaseline.
"'Joe,' said Pettingill, that horse
is ready to break down. When drop
the flag pull him up; don't want you
to get killed
"Joe suggested that Toana was car
rying lot of money, but Pettingill
was obdurate, and when he sent the
horses away Bergen did as he was Did
and pulled up. He let Toana gal. op
after the field for quarter of a mile,
and then, finding that Toana was go.
ing easily and apparently sound, he
gave the horse his head, and Toana
didn't do a thing but overtake that
field from the head of the stretch, and
go on and win. Poor Joe met his
death riding just such a dicky-legged
horse. e."-Washing Post

ing and of overfeedlng In the firss few
years of life.
Begin by eating a very little apple
in the morning, and increase the
amount gradually until by and by 1t
will cause you no distress to eat two
or three of them. Apples are for you
particularly adapted on account of this
natural stimulation of the liver, and
general purifying qualities.
II. L. b., Mixing Foods.-Should one
eat acid fruits and proteids at the
same meal, pork and apples for ex-
ample?
Ans.-Apples digest in an hour, pork
In four or five hours The two foods are
first mixed by the movement of the
stomach. Now the apples must be re-
tanned longer than IL they were there
alone, and thus spoil the meal, more
or less; or, the pork must pass out
with the apples (if the apple is much
the larger portion) hours too soon for
proper digestion. OF course the first
change in proteid food (meat, nuts,
fish, beans, cereal gluten, etc. is CO.
agulation by the hydrochloric acid of
the gastric juice, in the stomach; but
the natural process differs somewhat
from the action of fruit acids on al
bumen. No two acids act exactly
alike, and digestion Is an extremely
delicate process. We know that an
invalid's digestion would be upset by
apples and beans together, and the
healthy person would waste vitality In
disposing of such a mixture. OF
course some mixtures are especially
bad, as everyone Of weak digestion
knows, but some are less objection
able. The time Of milk, eggs Gun
cooked) and toast in the stomach is
about the same and their chemical re-
lations are harmonious, though no two
foods digest exactly alike and it has
been shown that the character of the
secretions is determined by the Pc
culiarities Of each food. The break
ing up of the coarse casein curds Of
cows milk by toast is beneficial. All
nuts, all fruits, all cereals, most veget-
ables, are harmonious in their classes,
but meat and milk fruit and veget
ables, meats and fruits are particular
ly inharmonious.

LORIMER is SENATOR
JOINT ASSEMBLY OF ILLINOIS
SELECTS HIM.
Lorimer's Election Was Brought About
by a Coalition of SO Democratic
and SIS Republican Votes.

Springfield, Ill.-Congressman VIII
liam Lorimer of Chicago is the
junior United States senator from
Illinois. He was elected on the nine
ty-fifth ballot in the joint assembly by
a coalition of SO Democratic and 90
Republican votes, to fill the vacancy
from Illinois which has existed in the
senate since the term of Albert j.
Hopkins, Republican primary candi-
date for reelection, expired on March
4. With votes to spare, the repre-
sentative of the Sixth district of llli-
nois broke the senatorial deadloc'-
which has existed in the forty-sixth
general assembly of Illinois since last
January.
Speaker Edward Shurtleff, elected
to the chair of the house last January
by a coalition of Republicans and
Democrats, cast the vote in the joint
assembly which insured Lorimer's
election.
Brief Sketch of Lormer.
Although william Lorimer's progress in
politics has been steady and consistent
from the time when he began securing
city contracts for his firm of contractors
to the day when he was elected TO the
United States senate, he never can be
president for he was born in England.
Mr.. Lorimer's biography in the Con-
gressionaI Directory is one of the briefest,
about fifty words, and omits to mention
that he first saw the light in 1861 At
the age Of five he was brought to this
country by his parents. At the age of II
he worked a sign painters apprentice.
Later he labored at the stock yards, of
which in after years he was to be known
as the boss" Next he gathered in the
nickels on a street car Meanwhile he
had become a political factor. He became
a contractor. was called the blond boss"
in the newspapers, and was counted on to
deliver the packing house district to the.
Republican ticket. In 1892 he as defeated
for n county office, but three years later
he was elected to the iftyfourth con-
gress, whore he has remained with the
exception of one term, ever since. The
hfty-Seventh congress saw him not, for
he was beaten in his own stock yards dis
trict by one who was comparatively a
mere STRIPPING, John j. Feely, then in his
Goth year. This was in the Second dis
trict Mr. Lorimer then moved into the
Sixth district, which promptly sent him
back to Washington.
