STORY Ol How the Revenue WM Atlanta "John, wate up! The revenues are coming !" "Wh-a-ar?" "Down the road." And old John Crompton, the most notorious blockader in Pauldin county was ont of bed quicker than lightning and swiftly disappeared behind the house in a ravine. There he planted a keg of freshly distilled mountain dew in a spot where lije hoped it would . "escape thn eagle eyes of Uncle Sam's officers, whose duty it is to discourage traffic in liquor that does not bear tax ... at the rate of $1.10 per gallon. V.v It was well that one of his co-labor ;?.; ers gave the warning, for in truth the revenues were at that moment bearing down on his lonely house, bent* on finding the corn juice that had been run oft that afternoon. At 4:15 last Saturday afternoon Deputy-Revenue Collectors J. W. /Martin and P. H. Moore and myself, hoarded a Southern train for Villa - , Eica. There we wore joined by the guide, John Lane, who can smell an , illicit distillery five miles and has ^probably located more copper than any one man lu the State of Georgia. A drive northward over the mountains brought us to Pumpkinvine school house, near which we ambushed our hack and ?earn and prepared to raid the still for which the guide had fur nished a way bill. It was about 9:30 when the little ? . party filed out over the side of the mountain, and after a circuitous route of what seemed to be three miles, dur . ing which many halts were made to listen and to searcn the dense under brush for lurking blockaders, the trail was at last reached. We fol lowed-it up the creek for probably half a mile, . when the aroma so familiar in that district told us that the object of which" we were in quest could not be i/v'far off. The raiding party came to a halt for an instant, when the sound of scurry ing footsteps up the opposite hillside told of the fleeing blockaders, and at r the same time their ever faithful dogs ; set up a> yelping that warned their co-laborers fer miles around. A few pistol shots were sent after the fleeing moonshiners, which were returned, without effect. Guide Lane then advanced about one hundred yards and signalled for us to approach. He had located the still, but it was discovered that the run had been made that very afternoon ?nd the liquor carried away or hidden. The block aders were in the act of removing the copper when scared off by the raiding party. It proved to be one of sixty gallon capacity and was soon cut up into a thousand pieces and forever de barred from entering service again. The fermenters were emptied of their beer and likewise placed hors de com bat. A search was then begun for the missing liquor, and it was while in pursuit of this that the humorous, pathetic and tragic sides of life among the blockaders in the Pnmpkinvine creek district of Paulding county were revealed. Up the side bf the hill two hundred yards from the still a little ramshackle hut was reached, before which four or five lank but fierce-barking dogs stood guard, but they were soon silenced. The guide informed us that the house was occupied by a Mrs. Taylor, a sis ter of John Crompton, who conducted the distilleries when the men folks happened to be guests of Uncle Sam. A dim light inside made it possible to get a view of the interior, showing three bed3 in one room, each with a single occupant. Deputy Martin rap ped loudly on the door, which brought forth the query, in a piping female voice: "Who's thar?" "Revenue officers." . "What's yuse want?" "We want to search your house for liquor." "Wa-a-l, wait 'ill I git on me drens andjmjlet yVns in, but you won't find any?licker 'ere." In a fewjmoments the wooden latch was thrown back and the party entered. A thorough search of the room and the loft failed to unearth a.ny contra band goods, and the old lad} and her two nearly grown sons who occupied the room with her, stoutly denied any knowledge of the still, though the light from the furnace could be plainly seen from the open door and one of the boys' pants were covered with beer ''slop. Half a mile further on across a cot . ton field and a deep ravine brought us to the quaint home of John Crompton just as our chromometers registered midnight. The warning announced above was given just as the party came within hailing distance-but John knew before then that the reve nues were coming, and was shamming sleep when they came up. John Crompton is well known to all the revenue agents in this district, and ha9 been for Io! these ma.uy years. I A RAID. Men Capture Illicit skey. Journal.* He has served several terms ia Ful too county jail, and it is related that he successfully conducted a blind tiger in the Bouglasville jail while serving a sentence for blockading, the liquor being brought to him by his son. He greeted Deputies Moore and Martin as old friends, whom he had met fre quently before, and who had destroyed many a copper for him and enriched Uncle Sam with the product of many a big run. The "ole 'ooman" was not at home to receive the visitors, much to John's regret for she dearly loves the revenue agents and always fries a pair of chick ens when Deputy Moore comes along. A search of the premises, with John holding thc torch, failed to locate the goods, and after coming out in the front yard John took compassion on tho party and generously volunteered to find a dram for each. He disap peared in the house and soon returned with a tin cup full of his own product, of which he cautiously said the uole 'ooman" always kept a small supply less than half a gallon-because she was siokly. A second dram was later resurrected from the same source, which he said exhausted the supply. The officers concluded that daylight would assist materially in finding the liquor, and after declining John's hos pitable invitation to spend the re mainder of the night with him, re turned to the hack, where Mother Earth furnished a welcome couch upon which to rest our weary limbs. Sunday morning at 5 o'clock the party divided, the guide and driver remaining to search the premises about John Crompton's abode, while Deputies Martin and Moore and my I self drove over to Henry Butler's, I some two miles further on the road j going toward Dallas, who has long been noted for the excellent quality of the moonshine he distills as well as the quantity, and it was thought probable the particular stock of which we were in search had been left with him. Henry ^greeted the party with a broad-guage smile and introduced us to his wife and eight children as though we were welcome guests, as. indeed, we really appeared to be. He of course made no objection when the officers - announced their intention of making a search, and at the same time gave orders to his wife to kill a couple of chickens and prepare break fast "for the gentlemen from Atlanta." Henry and his wife are both heavy weights and their combined avoidupois will reach 500 pounds. By the time the' search was com pleted and the liquor was yet unlocated, baeakfast was ready, consisting of fried chicken, hot biscuits, butter and coffee, for Henry is a successful farm er as well as a distiller, and raises his own wheat, corn, cotton, pigs and cows. The visitors fell to with a keen relish, as they were hungry after their many miles of travel and a night in > the. open air. Henry had never met Deputy Moore, but had a vivid recollection of Deputy Martin's capturing forty gallons of liquor in his house several years ago, for which he excused himself on the score that he was then 'young in the cause," but had since learned to hide it better. He also corrected Deputy Moore's impression as to some of the parties connected with an attempted whitecapping during a raid he made in that vicinity some time back. Upon returning to the road near John Cromnton's house the guide, John Lane, and the driver, Jack Smith, were found sitting alongside a fifteen-gallon keg of freshly distilled liquor which they had found hidden away in the ravine below. This was placed in the hack, and on the way back to Villa Rica stops were made at the homes of Walter Rollins and Sam Moody, two other famous moonshiners, to let them know that no partiality was being shown, and incidentally to take a look through their houses and barns. As an illustration of how busy the revenue agents are kept in Pauldin county, Deputy Martin says that he cut up seventy-two coppers in that distict in three months. Every creek running through the mountains has from one to a dozen illicit distilleries located upon it. C. C. HOUSTON. "Our baby was sick for a month with severe cough and catarrhal fever.

MAKING AN APOLOGY. HERE'S A MAN WHO SAYS SUCH A THING IS A BIG MISTAKE. It Only Make* Matter* Warne, He Say*, nntl Advlnom That, Nc Matter How Bad the Cane AtfRlost Yon May Be, to Ja?t Boldly Blair It Ont. A friend of mine who is a successful business man and a very level headed chap, and who is full to the brim with philosophy, recently laid down a great principle to me. It is this: Never apologize. "If," he says, "there is anything that is absolutely futile, it is apology. In stead of making the person to whom it is tendered feel any bettor concerning the oversight or piece of thoughtless ness on account of which it is given, the apology simply, intensifies his per ception of that oversight and makes him feel all tho worse about it. A few days ago I took luncheon with a man who said he was feeling very badly. He had borrowed, upou point of liouor. from a dear friend, tho only copy in existence of a treasured historio manu script. lie had promised 1o return it straightway. It was the old story. A servant, in quest of paper to start a kitchen lire, got hold of the precious old manuscript and burned it up. What should my friend do? "I advised him, from some experi ence in such things, to avoid making any apology, to say nothing whatever to his friend about the matter and, when the subject should finally be raised, to feign indifference and almost surprise concerning it. In this way the lender would think it must be that he had not made clear the necessity of returning the manuscript or ^failed to Indicate sufficiently its value. "Perhaps he would come to think himself that it was of no value. At all events, he could not get very angry with a a.an who appeared hardly to realize that he had committed any of fense whatever. This advice, I believe, was sound. "My attention," he goes on, "was first directed to the futility of apology sex eral years ago. I was a northern man in a southern city, new to southern conditions and inexperienced in deal ing with 'the colored brother.' One afternoon a Georgian friend urged me to go somewhere with him for several hours. I replied that the one objection to accepting was thc fact that I had asked my colored messenger to meet me at a certain place at 1 o'clock and to wait there until I came, In case I should be late. It would be pretty hard to keep him waiting until 4 in the afternoon. " T will tell you,' replied my friend, 'how that can be made all right. When you go around at 4 o'clock, you ap proach him with the air of perfect self satisfaction. If anything is said, give him the notion that it is just his busi ness to wait three hours for you and that you compelled it as a matter of course. If to the least degree 3rou apol ogize to him, you have ruined him as, a messenger and spoiled him as a citizen. He never will do anything for you again after an apology.' "A further acquaintance with the mysterious ways of the colored brother led me to believe that there was some small amount of wisdom in this ad vice or at least that it rested upon some principles of Ethiopian human nature. I then began to wonder if the .same thing were not true of the white man. I believe it is. "An apology spoils everybody and in jures tho reputation of the man mak ing it. Therefore my rule In life is to do somewhere near as well as I can and then in contact with my fellow man to assume that I have done exact ly right and to affect surprise and In difference in thc extreme at any sug gestion that things are ever otherwise. "The next time Lord Chesterfield writes out his rules of conduct he should append as one of them, 'Never apologize.' Do things meet for apology as seldom as possible, but, having done them, do not apologize for them. That is self Incrimination, aud it is a prin ciple of old English common law that no one should be obliged to testify against himself." 1 commend this reasoning to all thinking persons. I have myself apol ogized a great many times, but I can not truly say that an apology has ever really helped my case with the person who was offended. Of course it patch ed thc matter up, but did that do any good? lt is conceivable that giving an apology may bc better than taking a licking, but may not A.'s failure to apologize to B. for a slight or an affront be const rued by B. as proof that A. is confident that he can lick B., and con s?quente ?'o apology is needed and no attempt M a licking likely? These things should be pondered carefully. Boston Transcript. Kot For Snnrtny School Book?. She is little, but she has her own way of looking at things, and her views arc occasionally startling. "Mamma." she said thoughtfully when she heard lier mother tell the maid that she was "not at home." "is it all right to say you're mit; when you're in?" "Oh. yes: ii"s the common custom, yo;: know," explained the mother. The little one pondered for awhile, and then inquired, in-her solemn way: "Suppose the Lord should say that when we get to heaven?" Of course, this story ought to end with the statement that the mother at once saw the error of her ways and ever after insisted that the truth should oe told even to callers, but the mother laughed and thought it was a good joke and told some of her friends about it, and the maid still says "Not at home" when the mistress doesn't! wish to receive.

THE MUSICIAN SLEPT. An AnniKliiH' Incident In Ooo of Jaine? G. Blaine'* Cnnipai^UN. "Ono of tho most miserable moments of joy life," said a Maine bandmaster, "was :it a county convention, where my band unintentionally broke into a speech made by the late James Q. Blaine. Mr. Blaine was the speaker of the day. The stage also held Hon. Seth L. Milliken, a congressman, from Ohio whose name I hare forgotten and many prominent Republicans of the county. Two other bands were present, and the three put in their best licks. Our band was asked to furnish one or two selections during the speeches. As leader I gave ont the next number and charged every mau to be on the alert for the signal and to do his level best. "All know how political conventions drag along. The preliminaries wore everybody out before the speaker of ,the day was introduced. Our boys had ridden 20 miles in the early morning over a rough country road, had march ed for two solid hours in the forenoon, to say nothing of pumpingwind enough into 20 or more brass instruments to run all the windmills in the state. By the time Mr. Blaine stepped down to the footlights the meu who carried the big brass horns were dog tired. "Tiie selection I had made opened with a solo by the E flat bass, and I cautioned the player to be ready, tho moment Mr. Blaine took his seat, to play at a giance from me. The great statesman spoke with his usual impres siveness, and after getting warmed up he began to lay down an array of facts and figures which should furnish the local orators with timber for many a triumphant argument during the cam paign. He was laying the foundation for his address-one of those lengthy texts which meant so much to the hearer before his argument was com plete. It was dry to tired, nonpolitical bandmen. Cheers were uot yet in or der. "Presently Mr. Blaine paused for his words to take root while he took a swallow of water. I glanced around at the boys and noticed that the big bass was slowly slipping from the knees of its operator. Pat was asleep. I winked at the B flat to punch him before that :>G0 instrument got a dent. That poke in the ribs was fatal. Pat opened his eyes, and I was looking at him. The speaker was quiet. There was only one conclusion for Pat. Like a flash up came the horn, and before 1 could give a warning shake of the head the big bass bellowed out the first measure of the solo, *C E G C G E C P.* "Every person in the hall started and stared. There ?were interrogation points in Mr. Blaine's eyes. The rival bands snickered and snorted. I uearly fainted, hut gave the signal foi- band cheers instead, and the boys responded without; a break. Mr. Blaine may or may not have appreciated the Situation to a musician. I do uot know what his musical inclinations were, but he came to the rescue in a way that won the solid vote of our band then and there. He smiled broadly and said: " That is right, boys; give us anoth er and wake us upi1 "I waved my hand at the other bands, and we joined in such a hand cheer as that old hall will never hear again. "Next day I wrote a letter of expla nation and apology to Mr. Blaine and received a characteristic letter from the.statesman as follows: "My congratulations to the boys. They did no bly. I wish political speakers could do no worse than tiie 'break' you :nention. I 'nope to meet your band at other ptace? where thc good work is going on. Sincerely, JAMES <n BLAINE." -New York Mail and Express. Bnylnnr st Manilla Girl. On one of his trips from San Frau cisco to Manila Mr. Frank Bucklln of the United States steamer Warren saw and admired a beautiful Manila child about 30 years of age. Speaking of her to a friend, he said: "Don't you think that would be a nice present to take home to my wife-a regular little Filipino? My wife eau bring her up for a lady's maid." ""Why don't you buy her, then?" said the friend. "Good idea," said Bucklln,- and he ? forthwith offered the mother a dollar for the child. The Manila mamma handed over the girl with one hand and grabbed the dollar with the other. Mr. Bucklin took the wild young thing back with him, but she bit, fought, scratched and .kicked until his life became a burden. Every day boatloads of Manila mam mas caine alongside the Warren offer ing tender girls for sale to thc fat man. He refused 100 girls the first day, and finally, to escape the consequences of his nish act, he gave the little Manila girl buck to her mother, together with a bonus of $2. This only increased the desire on the part of Hie Filipinos to sell their children, and Bucklin was the happiest mau on bon rd ship when she weighed anchor and left Manila harbor.
