From the Kansas City -Journal: ''We
are making lfe wearisome for the
Arkansas moonshinerr," said Co!. W.
3. Wheeler, special agent of the reve
nue department, who was at Collector
Withers' office'-yest'erday checking the
records of his department. "Since
the present campaign wis opened
against them have landed thirty
Iv. 6f them, and we will get the rest
very shortly and absolutely clean out
the business in northern Arkansas," he
continued. "The moonshiners shot a
posse of oScerg there last fall and
killed some of them. Then the napaft
ment gave orders te clean out the
gang, and we are doing it: The hnnt
is on aSi tne game will be caught or
ran out of the country." The horde of
moonshiners that came Into Arkansas
and Missouri along the line were from
Georgia principally. Three years ago
a war was opened on them there, and
they were hunted so hard they had to
leave. The unfrequented woods and
hills ot Arkansas gave many of them
a hiding place," while others went into
the Orarks. They were chased so hard
by officers under the late Gen. Jo She!1
by they had to leave Missouri, and
they went into tSft Arkansas moun
tains. Whfcn a posse of deputy mar
shals and revenue agents started after
them they were led into ambush and
four killed. It was war then, and
every man who refused to aid the fed
eral officers was arrested. The spies
for the moonshiners were shot or cap
tured. The war has been rcle&tiess.
When a clear case against a man was
made out so heavy a bond was required
that he could not give it, and as they
were gathered behind the bars the
business lost its allurements.
In chasing them out of the OxarkS,
Gen. Shelby's men had repeated shoot
ing scrapes, and Wounded several men.
The St. L&iis marshals have captured
a number of the men, and the business

A very interesiing discovery was re
cently made in the finding ot an oil
portrait of Amerigo Yespucci in a
church of Florence. The discovery is
valuable from a historical standpoint,
and it is ranked as one of the artistic
sensations of recent years. Of course
you are familiar with the story of
Amerigo Vespucci's voyages to the
new world. Early ia the sixteenth cen
tury he wrote several accounts of his
travels. These became so popular that
the new world was called America in
his honor. Vespucci died in Seville
in 1512 at the age of 6L The newly
found portrait of Vespucci is part of
a fresco which forms an altar-piece in
the Ognissanti church at Florence. It
was painted by a Florentine artist
named Domenico Ghirlandajo.

Sometimes It is bard to tell what a
man's future will be by the occupation
he pursues early in life. You would
hardly expect the firemen of a locomo
tive to become a celebrated professor
of chemistry. Yet Prof. Morris, head
of the chemical department of Cornell
university, was once a fireman on the
New York Central railway. After be
ing advanced to the position, of engi
neer Mr. Morris determined that he
must have an education In order to suc
ceed in life. He saved his money and
studied between working' hours till he
ffaally entered Union college. From
this place of learning he was gradu
ated with honors. He made chemistry
his specialty and now holds a very it
portant and honorable position.

princely salary against the days of the
sere and yellow leaf, U'hetf, perhaps,
the same cards and flowers shodlfl he
flung nightly at the twinkling toes of
another Dolly".-
One dismal, raw night, being In. mel
ancholy mood, Dolly read fief fcatch
of cards .in a spell of curiosity. Biid
had not done this since the early days,
now a' good fffc'ife past, when there
were only two cf three. To her
amazement she found that thrS of
them bore the same name, Clarence
Lowderidge.
"The goose must have followed me
from one place to the other, ' she
thought, with a fine curve of scorn on
her pretty mouth.
Again the- nest night she tried to
tell herself ft was force o! habit sne
read the cards of her admirers. Again
she found Clarence Lowderidge (hrlc
represented. On one cf his cards she"
read these penciled words:
"I have worshipped thee ior thirty
nights, thrice the night 'TL equiva
lent to three months' devotion. Is this
not religion? Thy adorer, C. L."
"The impudence of the fellow. Ill
giv him lesson in religion, and that
on next Sunday morning, if I live,"
she snapped out to the cchtsteruation
of her Angora, stamping her little Wot
in its satin slipper.
She sat down at her writing-table
aiii scribble off a few words, which
were posted the nest tsorning to the
address en the card.
Sunday morning at 11 precisely,
Clarence Lowderidge appeared before
Dolly Pauncc. He was tall, th:n and
pale. Hia elothes were not too new
and his yellow hair needed trimming.
But when he staausered by way o ta

traduction that he wrote for a living
and was" purely and intensely literary,
Dolly excused his liair dflfl fli attire.
He was just about to start upon tiS
religion tack when Dolly stopped him
in amazement by asking:
"Mr. Lowderidge, do you believe in
Buddha?"
"Madam," replied the literary young
ster dreamily, "not to believe in Bud
dha woulu ue to mistrust you."
"That settles it," ground out the
pretty KUbretta with a very unsou
bre'.tish grimace; and she precaeded to
lay the lash cf her quick tongue un
mercifully upon her adorer.
"I go away heart-broken," he mur
mured When ehs had finished her ti
rade, "but with faith unshaken. A day
will come when yoa will b kinder to
me and not send me off like the Ste'rri
yet adorable churl, who refuses the
beggar the glass of water."
"Belinda." Dolly called to her maid,
who was passing through the hall at
this moment, "hand Mr. Lowderidge
a glass of water. Good morning, sir."
Ten years later Mr. Clarence Low
deridge, the most successful and blood
curdling melodramatist of the decade,
was speeding along a lonely country
road on his bicycle. His last six
months of labor, worry and sleepless
ness had resulted in the greatest melo
drama within the recollection of the
critics and the worst. But it caught
the crowd and Mr. Lowderidge was en
deavoring to recuperate his spent ener
gies far from the busy haunts of men..
The dust rose in clouds, parching his
throat, aad he was fain to alight be
fore a rather shabby cottage in the en
deavor to buy a glass of milk or cider.
A fat, short woaan came out as she
heard the gate slam-behind him. She
was not a ravishing, but a decidedly
healthy creature; and her homely fea
tures seemed to grow upon him ia in
terest despite the unmentionable state
ef her kitchen apron. Mr. Lowderidge
asked for the milk and received the
esormoB3 howl of cream from her
hlowzed hands with an inward shud
der. He offered to pay for it aad the
oame took his quarter aad made him
change to the sunt of tfteea ceaa? ia

"Is this the quickest road to Cor
aamr Mr. Lowderidge asked as he
stepped outside of the gate and pre
pared to remount.
"That's what it Is, yeuag man," re
plied the dame, in an ear-piercing;
twang; and with the next breath she
drawled ia alag-aeag:

A GREAT HUNTING CHETAH.
Animal la the Property or Bajah Boa
BtodrTara or ladia.
In India the wild beasts of the jungle
are trained a strangely incongruous
cifen&stance to hunt In behalf of man
the tamer gam of the forest, says the
Philadelphia Time's' The chetah Is the
animal used for this purpose. He is
a strange beast, a lithe, graceful, leop-nrd-like
creature belonging to the cat
family, but having when tamed all the
characteristics of a dog. He hunts witik
the precision of the best of deer
bounds, pfineiDaily tracking the deer,
though he is as abt in running down
other animals. He is affectionate and
obedient as a dog, following hie master
about with great fidelity and obeying
his slightest command. When 'taken
otit for a hunt he is usually blindfold
ed by a hood 9ntll the quarry is sight
ed, when the hood is removed and he
starts on his merciless errand. He
never relents, often trailing a deer for
miles before finally security him.
Usually, however, he approaches so
noiselessly that he pounces upon his j
prey without the slightest warning and
l-rings him to the eaftJl ifl short order.
The chetah of Rajah Bonrfiicdevara
Vrnkata Narasuntra Xaidu Bahadur ie
the most renowned hunter in India and
is so highly prized by his master that
it is said he could not be bought for
half such a principality as that over
hich his master ruies.
