thought to be rather i'll. Her only
luggage, small bag, was examined and
passed, and she started off-rather hur-
riedly. This was nothing extraordinary,
perhaps, in itself, but her gait was an
odd one-she wobbled.
Now, many people wobble when they
leave the Calais boat, anu even this
might have passed unheeded were it not
for very strong smell of brandy
something more than the smell of
mere fiask-and a small liquid trail
which marked the wobbling lady g path.
Somebody went after that hapless lady,
and she was, with difficulty, prevailed
upon-the trickling stream expatisting
into goodly puddle the while-to sub
NIT herself to the investigation of fe-
male searcher.
Then the cause of the seclusion, the
haste, the wobble, the smell and the
puddle became obvious. Somewhere
about twenty long bladders full of cognac
had been used to trim one of the unfor-
tunate lady's petticoats, and one of these
bladders had sprung leak.
Women have often found their skirts
and bodices useful aids to smuggling,
and the reign of crinoline or dress-im-
proven is their opportunity. India rub
ber dress-improvers distended with
brandy and petticoats quilted heavily
with tobacco are well-known plans for
defeating the revenue officers.
The story of the Calais-Dover baby is
pretty we'll known. 1t was always so
sick, poor dear and its face had to be
kept heavily veiled from the cold wind.
Notwithstanding this, it was always
being carried back and forth between
England and France by the interesting
young mother; never cried and never,
somehow, grew out of long clothes.
The custom house officers-married
men themselves-didn' understand it.
So that next time the most married
man among them ventured to insist on
being introduced to the interesting little
creature. He had difficulty in convinc-
ing the lady of his amiable intentions,
and indeed had to use little force be-
fore discovering that the baby was an
entirely artificial sort of infant, chiefly
tobacco, but largely lace.
This sort of baby was much quieter
and less troublesome than the ordinary
kind and worth more money, lace being
dutiaole at that time as we'll as tobacco.
Still there is reason to believe that the
lady afterward gave up that class of
baby.
Clocks and watches are not dutiable
under English customs laws, but they
are so in France. This is what led to
the sad disaster to a French lady who
had bought charming drawingroom
clock in Switzerland and essayed to cross
the frontier with her bargain worn as a
dress improver..
1t was capital idea and would have
succeeded admirably were it not that
while the lady was assuring the douanier
that there was nothing dutiable about
her the virtuous clock solemnly struck
twelve.-[Chicago News.

Blanket Your Horse.

1t is money in your pocket to keep
your horse blanketed. The warmth must
be kept up and if the horse is not blank
eted he must eat more to keep warm, and
a blanket will save more than its price in
feed. Your horse, if blanketed in the
stable, will live longer, work harder, and
its smooth glossy coat will make him
look $4,000 better than if he was not
blanketed. Read the following bargains
that VIM. H. Frear offers you in horse
clothing: 1000 extra good quality stable
blankets CSC each; 5000 white duck sur

AS THINGS GO.

THE GLOBE, being human, is liable to
err, and when it does err, it proposes to
make confession. 1t was imposed upon
by a boy who does not remember what
he says. In fact his own mother a
that he is a bad boy.
We heard that PROFESSOR KENNEDY
had viciously jumped at a boy, in anger,
and crushed his hand. 1t was of such a
nature that we were really appalled, to
hear the report. The information came
direct, as We supposed, but to make as
surance dopbly sure, We rode to the house
and talked with the boy. He was feeble,
he said, and his hand was giving him
much pain. Two OF our most eminent
physicians had been called, and it ap-
peared as though alarm was justified.
Not being a physician, o being a
surgeon, We knew nothing of his condi-
ton. However, his hand was black and
purple, it was frightfully swollen and
looked, indeed, as if it had been crushed.
We attempted TO secure information
from others, but failed. PROFESSOR
KENNEDY was not to be found, the hour
was late, but news is news in this print
shop, and We supposed there could be no
mistake.
We explained our mission at the house
where the boy was found there was no
request to lot print the news-but there
seemed a desire that it should be printed.
1t was our old managing editor, under
whom We once worked, who told US TO
believe nothing, not even the bible, until
we heard the other side. He said if q
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1892-03-31
WE TOLD you so.

When the present congress commenced
its ~grind-before a speech had been made,
THE GLOBE said that there was a boy in
it, that his name was BRYAN and that he
hailed from Nebraska. Not quite 80
old never in politics before, it seemed
wild perhaps for US to say that the
country at large would hear from the
young gentleman. But THE GLOBE knew
the man and it sometimes reads character
and recognizes ability.
The tariff speech of BRYAN delivered
over Two weeks ago, still calls forth
praise from all over the union. At the
North and at the South it is talked about
applauded, and those who heard it say
that it was a wonderful bit of oratory,
sarcasm, wit and solid sense.
AS THE GLOBE promised it's readers
they would hear from, and that he is
now a leader in tariff councils-he is
famous, and if his republican district
does its duty it will send him back and
keep him there-no matter if he is an
honest democrat.

AL Is OVER,

Knowing that the announcement will
cause some surprise, but knowing also
that duty to business is first and to state
second, l hereby publicly that
/ will not be a candidate for governor.
Some five hundred of my republican
friends tell me that Ii is absurd to run.
They say that l could not carry the Yam
Farm for deg Peter they say that as l
am not a resident Of the state and not
being naturalized, but still a subject of
Ireland and Great Britain and Wake
county, that a man would be a fool to run
for something and get the stuffing
knocked out Of all his hopes. They say
that before the people l would be done
up in oil and that l had better go off and
die.
Five hundred of my democratic friends
say that while they like to see a man
make a fool of himself, there are even
degrees of idiocy. They tell me to soak
my head and abandon the whole business.
COLONEL POLK says that he will return
my initiation fee and the dues for a year
past and a year in advance if will leave
the alliance and get out Of his way for
the presidency.
jim SoUTHGATE says that | can't be
governor on the prohibition ticket, that
they draw the line. He advises me to
eat a sack of cloves and change my
breath and comb by hair and pretend to
be decent even if | can't be.
And so to my friends who have insisted
that l come before the public as a can
date, while assuring them OF my hearty
appreciation of their kind intentions, [
must positively refuse at this time to
consent to run.
1t may also be said here, with emphasis,
that as l lost my vote and citizenship in
Durham by moving to the Yam Farm, |
will not, it occurs to me at the hour of
going to press, be a candidate for Mayor.
With Best Wishes,

Baptist preacher said that ST. MATTHEW
had red hair, not to believe a word of il
until we had interviewed al the other
preachers in the city. If they did not
agree on the subject, print what they al
said.
This has been with Us an invariable
rule-to see and hear from both sides.
Day before yesterday We slipped up, and
the consequence is that the other side
claims that KENNEDY did not whip the
boy; that he did not jerk him; that he
used no force and was not vicious; that
the boy is almost unmanageable, and that
upon leaving KESNEDY's room, the boy
struck 1T KENNEDY, missed him and
struck the door with such force as to
bruise his own hand.
Well, this story seems pretty well au-
thenticated-and the boy tells different
tales. He, perhaps, does not remember
just what caused his hand to be in the
condition it is at present.
THE GLOBES record on graded schools
is well known. We have always believed
that KENNEDY is an instructor and the
right man in the right place. But we
are constructed in such q way that We
want this paper to be honest and above
board in all it says.
Had KENNEDY been guilty of what the
boy charged he would not have been the
Mr.. KENNEDY has been sadly misrepre-
scented and THE GLOBE is sorry that it
was a party to it.
