The woman was arrested at Wood

search Of her premises where about
eight gallons Of mash and gallon

found.
The raid on the premises followed
the issuing OF warrant by States

tin house shortly before dark. The
mash and the gallon jug were found
in the attic. The deputies were un-
able TO locate the stil with which the
moonshine was manufactured. They
confscated the Jug and a sample of

men Of fantastic eroSion-an island"
in the air; rock with overhangine
sides nearly 400 feet high, seventy
acres in area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless bays, notched
with dizzy chasms. The greater part
of the island overhangs the sea like a
huge mushroom, and on the top stands
town, which for artistic charm, eth
biological interest and romantic history
has no peer. This little town of AGO.
ma Is one of the prehistoric Pueblo

already old in 1910.

Not Guilty.

Archie was roler-skuting for the
first time. You know what that means,
1t means plaster and llniment.
After thirteen somersaults and 81
violent encounters with the boarding,
Archie decided that he had had
enough for one day. He also decided
that the next time he roller-skuted he
would do so on a feather bed
On hands and knees he began to
crawl painfully from the arena He
was nearly out of the wood when an
lrate attendant hailed him.
"Hl /" cried the man. you should
be IN the next room Don't you know

Archibald gazed at the attendant
without rancor.
