AUTHORITIES FIND
MANY MOONSHINERS
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.—There
has always been a popular Idea that
moonshiners were confined to Ken
tucky and the southern mountain wil
dernesses. but this belief, which has
been a great help to short story nov
elists, has been dispelled by J. J.
Scott, collector of Internal Revenue.
California is full of moonshiners
and San Francisco fairly wriggles
with them. There are twenty-two of
them In one block on Telegraph Hill
and eighteen in the next.
Only here the moonshiners manu
facture wine Instead of whisky. Thru
them the government has been de
prived of $1,000,000 a year revenue
and to remedy the situation a law
has been passed forcing all those who
manufacture more than 200 gallons
a year to bond themselves against de
frauding the government out of the
four cents a gallon tax.
A corps of deputy collectors has
been sent out to round up all wine
makers. Two thousand have already
been found in San Francisco and it
is reported that 5,000 have been
rounded up in the state.

; against a school house near here.
C. 0. Moran was badly crushed and
! may die. Jess Colby suffered a dis
located shoulder and Mrs. Alice Ash
and Mrs. Alice Marks received severe1
(cuts and bruises. The accident was
caused by a broken steering post
while the party was traveling at a
high rate of speed.

THE PITCHER'S BOX.
> Baseball's Early Days It Was Just
a Lina Twelve Feet Long.
Up to 1857, or for eighteen years
after the first gnme of baseball was
played, there was no limit to the num
ber of tunings, the first aide scoring
twenty-one runs, or "aces," as they
were then called, l*elng the winner. In
1857. however, the game was divided
Into nine innings. The pitcher bad a
line twelve feet long, kept behind It
and could take a short run before his
delivery, just the same as Is permitted
In cricket today.
In 1883 the old “line" for the pitcher
to stand behind wus done away with
and the twlrler limited to a “box"
twelve feet long and four feet wide,
hut In this area be could roam at will
and throw from whatever spot he
pleased. A few years later the “box”
was made six feet square, and In 1876
It was again reduced to four feet wide
and six feet long. Ten years later It
was made a foot longer and a foot .
wider and In 1887 cut down In length
to five and one-half feet
These “boxes” being always a source
of much change and dlscusslou, they
were finally abolished altogether and
a rubber slab 12 by 4 Inches took their
place, the pitcher being required to
keep his back foot against the slab.
This slab was enlarged to two feet by
six Inches In 1806 and has remained
the same since.—Philadelphia Bulletin
GROW, BUT DON'T SWELL
—
Save Exertion of Boasting and Use It
In Doing Your Tasks.
It la well for you to have confidence
In your ability, but when ft reaches the
stage of "swell heudedness" your value
to yourseir or to any one else begins to
dwindle.
“Some men grow with responsibility;
others merely swelL” The man who
swells has ceased to grow.
He has reached a place where he
thinks he bos all the knowledge be
needs, and naturally all growth la re
tarded.
The best way—the most convincing
way—to prove one’s capability la by
actions, not words.
The fellow who Is continually brag
glng about what he can do Is seldom of
much account
It la the man who does things In a
quick, Intelligent manner who wins.
Such a man will be found at the top
lieoause be deserves to be there.
All concerns want him, because be
not only accomplishes much as the re ■
| suit of hts concentrated endeavor, but
his Influence Is good on the other em
1 ployees.
Save the exertion ft takes to tell what
you can do and use ft In performing
your tusks. In this way you will get
so much consideration eventually that
you will not he tempted to brag.
The other fellow will do ft for you.

Cheeky John Forstsr.
In “William Harrison Alusworth and
His Friends” the author, 8. M. Kills,
tells a quaint story of Ainsworth and
his friend John Forster. Ainsworth
had discovered a fine set of Hogarth’s
engravings which was held at £5, a
sum which, he said, ”1 could not just
then spare or at least did not think 1 i
ought to spare. 1 took John Forster j
down to see the Iiogarths, wbereupou
be actually said that he would and
must have them himself and as be bad ,
not £6 of loose money at that moment
I should lend that sum to him. I j
pointed out the absurdity of the post j
tlon—that 1 wanted the engravings for
myself and could not afford to lay out
the money; how. then, could I lend It—
to him? it was of no use. He over
ruled me, had the £6 of me and bought
the Iiogarths I was longing for.’’

"I near had a scrap this morning,”
confided a slender young lawyer whom
you wouldn’t suspect of being bellig

“Who with?” we asked with no re
gard for grummar.
“Jimmie Squiggs. 1 guess 1 spoke
hastily to him. Anyhow, he got the .
Idea that 1 wanted to lick him.’’
“Well, what did he do?"
“He took It on the run. Honest, be
did three blocks In about twelve sec
onds before I could say a word."
“That’s going some for a big man
like Squiggs.”
“Ain’t it? And It didn’t do him a
bit of good. I was half a block ahead
of biw every step of the way.”—Cleve

“Nora has Just dropped another
plate," Bald Mrs. Twobble.
“Well, my dear,” replied Mr. Twob
ble, “suppose you go Into the kitchen
and drop a hint to the effect that she
must not break any more china?"
“Evidently you don’t know how to
manage Nora. If 1 lead her to believe
that we rather enjoy having her break
a plate occasionally 1 think she will be
more careful.”—Birmingham Age-Her
