A smugcler,s Wooden Lsg.

Perhaps the most ingenious method of
deoeivjiig the Custom-house officers that
has come to light lately was the device
OF man with wooden leg. His name
was Earnest Bohruman, and he was a
native of Saxony. He was usually
dressed very shabbily and travelled as q
poor emigrant. He was a skilliul story
teller and betrayed himself by telling a
very humorous story second time with
in the hearing Of the same detective who
was on board one of the White Star
steamers with him. The climax was
brought out in such an inimitable man.
ner in broken English that the officer
Immediately recalled that the voice and
manner of another one-iegged emigrant
who had come i'll ship OF another line
with MIN only about two months before.
The fact Of q poorly dressed man max
ing two journeys to America in 80 short
a time excited his suspicion. He ac-
cordingly reported the circumstances
when the vessel arrived in port, and un-
usual diligence was used in searching
his baggage and person, but nothing was
louud until his wooden leg was removed.
1t was an ordinary cheap artificial leg,
fastened to the natural leg at the knee
and armed with ferrule ut the bottom.
When it was taken off it seemed unusu-
ally light, and on careful examination 1t
was round to be hollow and to contain
about $1,000 worth or laces and precious
stones. He had been diamond broker,
but had become poor and subsequently
entered the Prussian army in the French
war as O private or non-commissioned
officer. He lost his leg i'll battle, and
when he recovered lie thought OF this
method OF retrieving his fallen fortunes.

The Cost Of Keeping Dogs.

From the Riehland (La) Beacon
Have the people of Richland
parish ever thought of the enor-
nous aggregate expense the dogs
of the parish are to the people
We have no idea how many use.
less dogs there are in the parish,
but we know they are numerous,
and that the cost of keeping them
annually, would build up q good,
comfortable school house and
church in every neighborhood IN
the parish, without taking into
the estimate the value of the sheep
hogs and eggs destroyed by them
every year.
We know that one or two good
dogs are almost Indispensable to
each farm in o wild country like
this, where panthers, wildcats,
co0ns and such other animals as
commit depredations on the flocka
and hen roosts; but a large MOTOR
ity of the dogs with which almost
every plantation is stocked are
intolerable and enormously ex-
pensive nnisances. The dog is
one of the most prolific animals
in existence, and if not continu-
ally DESTROYED will soon overrun a
farm to such an extent as to con,
sumo a large per cent. Of its prof
its-for it costs more to feed q
dog than a hog-and render exis
tence on such place almost intol
erable. Therefore, the planter
should keep all except one or two
good dogs on his premises killed
off, and a man living in town
should never allow one Of any
kind to exist on his place for
day.
We never could see the profit
or pleasure in keeping q pack O
from ten to twenty hounds on 1
plantotion, to stock the place will
fleas, eat all the eggs and annoy
all good housewives, just for th'
pleasure of an occasional "drive,
which does drive the deer out o
the country effectually But thel
all peoples ideas Of pleasure doe
not run in the same channel

coveting what we are Commando

local news and business an
nouncements, what would the
average American city or.vil-
lage be? It would surely be
unknown of its neighbors.
The county weeklies ought
to be the best supported news
papers Of the whole land, for
they contain news and gossip
that cannot be found in any of
the city dailies. The farmer
can learn from his local paper
If he prefers to take it in
stead of some more expensive
publication-how much his
neighbor's sixty-acre farm sold
for, how the schools are pros
pering, the price of butter and
eggs at the village market,and
what improvements are in pro-
gress through the section in
which he lives. He can get
none of this in the city paper,
and he cannot be a thoroughly
useful citizen without such
items of light information. It
is not always that the best
towns support the best news
papers, but it is strictly a fact
that no place ever gets the
credit Of being thrifty or en-
terprising until it can send out
a first-class paper, and that al
ways depends more upon the
people than the editor.

The Country Press.


There are few people who do
the country paper full justice.
Most everybody is inclined to
look away over the sholders Of
the country editor, to some pa
per printing more reading mat
ter, and then make compari-
sons. There are people who
actually believe it impossible
to find a person with common
sense, with industry or with
brains in the Office of a country
newspaper; a newspaper can
have no charms for them un-
less can be mystified under
a strange personality, and in
buying a copy they proceed
upon the same grounds as in
the purchase of a bar of soap
they would rather have one
that comes from the city, be-
couse it must necessarily be so
much better in every sense
than a home production. The
same man would laugh at You
