BUT LIVE TO OLD AGE-WILL

For many years the. West Virginia
moonshiner has. ever been topic OF
deepest interest and, a subject Of con-
siderable trouble to the revenue Of
acers. He has figured largely in the
history Of this state and yet few Of
the people, not born in the mountains
has native heath, know much In real
ity about him, his habits or his little
traits of character all interesting.

THE merry moonshiner is pictur-
esoue character on his native heath,
possessed OF all the cunning OF a
hunted deer-shrewd and suspicious
and as dangerous as edged tools in
the hands of novice or those sus-
pccted of having evil designs upon
Ills peace and welfare, but generous
to fault toward those whom he is
satisfied arc his friends. He will
shoot al the drop Of a hat, or divide
his last meal as the case may be. Tho
average newspaper writer gives 'buf
one side Of the story. He views the
mountain dew manufacturer at long
range, or sizes him up Through the
bars. or in Il federal court. He Is
usually pictured as an unkept crea
tire with cleaning eyes and dishevel-
ed hair, fierce and fighter, with all

TANK E.XPL0DEs
BUT NO ONE ||E| HURT
BURSTING OF AIR RESERVOIR IN
MYERS TIRE PLANT WRECKS
INTERIOR OF SHOP.

The explosion of an air tank In the
tire plant of Grant Myers On Third
street yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock, broke nearly all Of the win
dows in the shop. Four persons were
present in the room when the tank e1-
ploded and beyond a minor scratch or
two on the arm of w. H. Mynard, who
was In the plant at the time, no in
juries were sustained. The blowing up
of the tank caused a terrific explosion
and wrecked the counters, work
benches and some Of the machinery In
the room, and all Of the glass In the
front OF the building and some IN the
rear windows was broken. The pro-
prietor Of the shop was standing at the
bench under which the tank was
located, and beyond feeling the shock
Of the explosion as the tank burst, he
was not hurt. A crowd quickly gath
cred following the report of the burst
ing tank, but soon dispersed upon
learning the cause and effect OF the
explosion. The tank used was the
same as is commonly used in domestic
plumbing for hot water heating. There
was no air being pumped into the con-
tainer at the time and the only excuse
that Mr.. Myers could give was that
the safety valve on the tank must have
stuck and failed to record the exact
pressure OF air in the tank at the time
of the explosion.

DUTCH D|PL0MAT
IN PRED|CA|NEN7
MINISTER AT TANGlER FORCED
BY CUSTOM TO SHELTER
FOUR RUNAWAYS.,

Tangier, Morocco, June 6.-Because
Of diplomatic unwillingness to of.
TEND Mohammedan prejudices the
Dutch minister here finds himself the
embarrassed guardian and protector
Of four eunuchs. The eunuchs were
Of the household of ex-Sultan Mouley
Hafid, but becoming disconnected with
his treatment OF them, they quietly
packed up and left.
Having heard that the foreign lega.
ton premises were foreign territory,
they got into the garden Of the Dutch
legation, and there, secure by reason
Of height OF walls and diplomatic in
volatility, they asked to see the min
lister before whom they pronounced the
sacred formula which obliges every
man In Mussufman countries to grant
hospitality and protection.
Thus the -Chevalier de Rappard, the
Netherlands minister, became, accord
ing to the traditions of the Korean,
the host and protector Of these four
Moors. He had to provide them with
lodging and food and defend them
against their enemies. They became
by the same rules members Of his
household and must serve him to the
best of their ability. The diplomat
is placed in a curious quandary, and
has consulted the Moroccan govern
ment as to the best course for him to
take. Meanwhile he Is giving shelter
to the eunuchs, who profess uesire
to spend their lives in his service.
