SAY IT WAS RED
MIKES" MOON
Anton Westwalla Tells His
Story and Seven Gallons
of Moon Follow.

operation in the hopping up line Sum
day evening when man walked into

The place raided was shanty In
the rear of cred Mike" Nakroz's sa-
loon at 31s North Congress street.
There Westwalla lived, or had hved'
until he had fallen out with his land
lord.
1The falling out of faithful friends,
renewing is of love-" the poet says.
But in Anton's case it seems IL was
not so. He knew or thought he knew
that he could tell the police something
about Red Mike that Red Mike wouio
not like and he proceeded to do SO.
Jugs Under Trap Door.
In the shanty where Anton had kept
batch there was a closet, in the close'
trap door in the floor, and under the

wide and it was cute little hiding
place. There were seven gallons OF
kicking mule down in that dark place
The surprise for Anton came when
he was charged with unlawful pos
session of moonshine and brought into
court this morning. Captain Clausen
told the judge that it was case tol
a trial and explained that Anton was
held because they did not want him to
slip out of their fingers after making
the complaint.

Remarkable Mines

Among the most extraordinary
mines In the world are those at Hib-
bing and Coleraine, In Minnesota
There are to be found the only open
mouthed iron mines to be seen any
where. The iron ore is so close to
the surface that all the railroad had
to do was to lay tracks and back In
and haul out whatever ore 1t pleased.
1t is unusual to find metals or other
valuables of nature close to the sur
face. The diamond and ruby mines
furnish exceptions. The commoner
minerals are often buried deepest
No other system resembling our
solar system is known to exist How

no means Of knowing of their exjs-
tence. The smallest star whose mass

foreign letters bearing the words
sDon't Steal" the German postmaster
general has announced that these will
not be delivered in the future unless
they really contain money If they
do not, he rules, such markings con-

notes sent from abroad to poor rela-
tives in Germany became 50 common
during the imitation period that for
eigners developed the habit of plac-
ing warnings on the outside of letters.
Temptation was put constantly before
postal employees, as they were obliged
to open all incoming letters suspected
Of containing money in order to trace

Western Mustangs

The ponies Of the western states,
the mustangs, are mostly southwestern
breeds, apparently Moorish Ia origin,
coming to this country by way of Mex
leo and having been brought over
originally by the Spaniards. To these
ponies the term bronco" is often ap-
piled. Many of the small horses at
the present time have been crossed
more or less with the American trotter,
the thoroughbred, or the ArabiaT>
horses. These stu are known as
"broncos," although in recent years
they have been more commonly termed
COW ponies and are used exclusively
In herding.

"Killjoys" of Various
Kinds, but All Pests

Are you a "killjoy"7 Your negative
is indignant and emphatic. Good u
But wait a minute.
The activities of the ordinary killjoy
we know. The fraternity is out to
spoil In the mass all innocent fun and
gayety. But there are other killjoys.
These are not organized; they don't
seek to spoil the fun Of crowds. Their
line Is to take the joy out of individ-
uals, one at time. And yet they do
1t without malice or deliberate intent.
But the effect is exactly the same.
sSome parents are killjoys, observes
London Answers. They are too par
ticular with their children, too careful,
too much concerned. A childish game
In which angels might join is brought
to sudden halt. Bobby, you mustn't
do thati" 'Elsie, little girls should
not tear about as though they were
boys. Sit down quietly at once"
The Joy Is killed.
Uncle gives Tommy shilling, and
Tommy, with great joy, pictures what
he will buy. But killjoy parent in
sists that the money should be put in
the savings box.
Little Mona, with great joy, lays the
table for tea. Mother will be so sur
prised But mother has rebuke,
Never do that again, Mona If you
had broken cup should have been
very upset!''
Today, without knowing or meaning
1t, you may have acted as such kill,
Joy. Have you snubbed anyone? Have
you turned against the enthusiasm ct
one of the young and joyous your
older, perhaps cynical wisdom? Have
you laughed In superior fashion al
some eager idea?
Then you are killjoy. Anything
which darkens the sun of youth or
causes shining, eager eyes to cloud OF
ends innocent happiness, kills joy, and
those who do the darkening, the cloud.
