The Man Who Hit the
Bull’s Eye
OONSIIINI.VG flourished long be-
fore the prohibition amendment
was made to the Constitution of the
United States.
Twenty years ago It was carried on
In the mountains of West Virginia on
a scale that made the government au
thorltles gasp for breath.
The general Impression of the moon-
shiner Is that of a poor white man
who Is willing to take big chances In
order to make a little Illegal money,
This Is true of some sections, hut
nt the time mentioned there were bold
and unscrupulous distillers who car-
ried It on as a business In a big way
and who made fortunes hy the opera-
tion.
Wayne Gooch was one of these men.
He was onlled “the King of the
Moonshiners,” nnd there Is no reason
to doubt that ho was entitled to the
distinction.
The scandals grew to such propor-
tions that the commissioner of Inter-
nal revenue at Washington deter-
mined It would hnve to he stopped at
all hazards.
The man he assigned to the Job was
a fearless ngent named Tom Kennedy.
He had several advantages. One
was that lie knew the mountains of
West Virginia.
Another was that he was a crack
shot.
These things were Important, be-
cause the moonshiners placed small
value on human life.
Most of them boasted that they
would not be taken alive, and hy the
same token they would kill anyone
who attempted to interfere with their
business.
Kennedy determined to confront the
lion in hls den.
He made up hls mind to go to the
Gooch stamping grounds In the guise
of a government forester.
Merely to be known as a person
who was connected with the govern-
ment in any capacity was taking n big
chnnce, hut Kennedy was n man who
had been taking chances all hls life,
and one additional chance meant lltttle
to him.
He had two capable assistants with
him, and he went direct to the cabin
where the king of the moonshiners
made his headquarters.
He introduced himself h.v hls real
name, nnd he wanted to know what
the authorities could do to help the
cultivation of trees In that part of
the country. Gooch, who wns n big,
bluff fellow, received him cordially
enough, even though he kept hls
weather eye on this curious stranger.
He said the soil In tlint part of
West Virginia was not particularly
adapted to forestry, hut he cheer-
fully offered to escort Kennedy about
the country.
It wns Just what the revenue ngent
wanted.
He kept hls eyes nnd hls ears open,
and at the end of 24 hours was forced
to confess that there was not even the
sign of a still In operation.
During that time the king enter-
tained the agent In a royal fashion.
One day they had a shooting match,
with a big target set tip near the
cabin. Kennedy participated, and to
the great delight nnd admiration of
the king the visitor hit the bull s eye
nine times out of ten.
Gooch said that was the best record
ever made In that locality.
He parted with hls guest with ap-
parent reluctance.
Kennedy had played hls cards so
well that he wns not even suspected
by the king of the moonshiners.
They parted one night with expres-
sions of mutual esteem. Kennedy had
no misconception of his man.
lie knew tlint If hls true character
had become known he would hnve
been shot down like a dog.
This thought keyed him up to the
gnme lie was about to play.
He left the cnbin and the vicinity,
but he had proof that distilling was
going on on a great scale.
He discovered that the stuff was
sent to the depot In a truck nt about
midnight each night.
So he lay In wait with hls two men
nnd when the team arrived nt a cer-
tain part of the road he appeared In
the highway with a loaded nnd primed
revolver.
The driver and hls assistant, taken
unaware*, surrendered.
In the meantime, Kennedy sent for
re-enforcements and before another
day had gone hy the king of the moon-
shiners and hls men had been taken
Into custody.

PRETTY WORK IN
MALTESE CROCHET
Br GRANDMOTHER CLARK
This kind of crochet work is not
new hut hns been used h.v past gen-
erations when general crochet work
Is in vogue. The article to be made
Is worked up faster than when cro-
cheting with a hook only, and the
result Is different. A hairpin staple
and crochet hook are used, and the
hairpin varies In width, depending
upon the article to be made or the
size of loops that nre desired. Cot-
ton, wool, silk or linen thread can
he used, nnd scarfs, centers, edg-
ings, Insertions, novelties, In fact any
article that Is crocheted can ho made
In maltose crochet. The collar shown
above Is made of white Shetland
wool. The hairpins measure; Small
9x1% Inches, medium 9x1% inches,
large 12%x2% Inches. Instructions In

ing tills collar will be mailed to you

"You are expected to he polite In
your manners, nent In your person
and room, careful of your hooks nnd
clothes, attentive to economy In all
your expenses.
“Talchenring nnd scandal arc odi-
ous vices, nnd must he avoided
neither must yon flatter your com-
panions hy remarks on their beauty,
dress or any slight accomplishment,
In order to Increase their vanity."
Commenting on these oldtlnte rules
of politeness, a modern woman writer
caustically remarks:
“Heaven deliver us! Rut this Is
only a pnrr, denr render, of the list of
rules for the current manners of stu-
dents nt the first 'Academy for Young
Ladles’ to ho opened In New England
—at the beginning of the last cen-
tury. It Is a museum piece that I can-
not deny the renders of this col-
umn.
"They were not making It easy,
these New England ‘educators,’ for
young ladles to hnve 'good manners.'
"Of course even In this highly
frivolous, wasteful, wicked day, we
believe In being quiet in church, In
keeping ourselves and our posses-
sions dean and nent—and telling the
truth when It Is not too Inconvenient!
It Is the manner In which even these
reasonable demands nre expressed
and their Implication of how young
people should be dealt with that
gives us a precious sidelight on those
days.
"The prize, by honest vote, would
go, I think, to this one: 'Neither
must you flatter your companions by
remarks on their beauty, dress or any
slight accomplishment, In order to In-
crease their vanity’! Today's ‘well-
bred young lady’ would regard It as
better ‘manners' to never overlook
an opportunity to remark on her com-
panions’ beauty or charm—and
wherever possible within the bounds
of conscience to say something pleas-
ing anil heart-warming to those
whose hand she touches In this fleet-
ing Journey on which we nre for a
short time together.
'Other times,’ gays the French,
‘other manners.’ For my part, I
prefer those of our times. What gay
our renders?"

The lowly snail, famous for hi*
lack of speed, is hurrying the return
of better times In the Herxheltn, th*
Pfalz (Germany) district.
The first Weinberg Hindi farm In
Germany wns opened there Inst year
when u wine grower hit on the Idea
of putting the snails under hls grape-
vines to work.
He found that If they were picked
up early in the morning or after b
rain nnd segregated to a special
“farm,” they could be bred and
grown systematically.

Lead Indispensable in
All Forms of Painting
Althoug.n used extensively in print-
ing and plumbing, In refining petrol-
eum, and in manufacturing Insecti-
cides and certain colors, lead's most
important use Is In paint. Because
of Its strong adhesion to metal, red
lead (red oxide of lend) Is the stand-
ard protective paint for Iron and
steel. Where a lighter nnd more
decorative paint Is needed, white lend
Is admirable, since, exposed to
weather, It lasts longer than any
other pigment, with the possible ex-
ception of lampblack.
The United States produces and
consumes more lead than any other
country in the world. After the
metal hns been located In beds of
shale, chiefly In Missouri, nnd smelt-
ed, It Is manufactured into commodi-
ties hy one of three processes. Slabs
of lend, rolled between heavy rollers
to sheets of desired thinness, are
wrapped like rugs around a pole and

for roofs, ns plates Interposed for
protection between the radium work-
er nnd bis dangerous mineral, and as
