ARE THEY MAMMOTH's TEETH!
A Curiosity Found Fifteen Feet Under
the GrOund In Audrain County.

w. W. Clendenin, who has beer
out in the county near Worcester
informed reporter of a curious
discovery, which was made while
Arthur Corner was digging a vel
on his place this week.
When the well diggers got dowr
about fifteen feet they brought uE
out of mother earth a portion Of q
jaw-bone and two teeth which are
pronounced to be those of an ex.
tinct mammoth which inhabited
the northern parts of both continents
between 1000 and 10, 900 years ago
The mammoth resembled an ele
phant in appearance and instincts
1t was thought by the Tartar races
that the mammoth worked its way
under the ground like a mole. Il
it is hard to surmise how the bone
and teeth of the animal of another
cline and of the prehistoric man
came under the ground in Audrair
county. Several specimens of The
mammoth have been found in ST

Smugglers' Tricks.

Speaking of smuggling a custom
house inspe ctor says, in New
York News interview: The dried
entraiIs of beef or hog viii hold a
great many quarts of liquor, and it
is not a difficult matter for a petty
ships officer or seaman to fill one
of these receptacles, fold it around
his body and boldly walk ashore.
"Speaking of imported cigars
when the proprietor of fancy es-
tablishment hands out a box on
the sly and remarks that "if they
hadn't run the blockade they would
be worth quarter instead of 1C
CENTS" you may be pretty sure
they are domestic.
"The custom house people once
made a seizure of several dozen
boxes of these home made produc'
tions on the supposltion that they
had really been smuggled, but the
proprietor paid the duty like little
man rather than have his customers
learn the deception he had practic'
ed.
