glers?' is question that is puzzling the
courts as well as the officers of the law.
In imposing sentence in recent case
Judge Webb spoke of the trouble. He
said that on the widely extended border
between the United States and Canada.
people will not, in many cases, regard
smuggling as crime. A conviction, fol-
lowed by a fine, is not regarded as dis
grace, and the detected smuggler does
not lose standing in the community.
Judge Webb said that about all that
could be done was to make the business
costly to the smuggler. He knew that
there was total loss of the goods
seized and that it cost the respondent
In every case something above his fine.
10 that extent every conviction goes to
reduce the profits of the business.
But he suggested that it might be the
duty of the court to do something beside
impose fine and therefore added in the
case then before him, brief term of
Imprisonment. 1t may be regarded as
probable that the court after this will not
stop with a fine, but will, especially in
the case of noted offenders, send them
to Jail as well as tine them.

The Mechanic Blues Veteran Associa-

the S7th anniversary at Long Island Sat

About forty participated and they were
escorted to the boat by platoon of the

heed that he had magnificent watch,
which he consulted and handled as if it
were the apple of his eye. This, of course,
was good thing for me, for since was

this trick certainly should be put in irons

of showing my anxiety at once proceeded
to do little fishing. Every one looked at
me, not so much with establishment as with
pure disbelief in my ability to recover the
watch, which was not only one of the things
in the world the sultan liked, but was
worth great deal more than any watch
had ever seen.

The PLAYFUL Mountain Goat.

A mountain goat that once kept in con-
hnement was about as cunning as the aver
age street arab, and had he lived to matur-
ity and kept on acquiring knowledge the
chances are I would have had to move out
and give him the ranch.
He usually followed me on short excur-
sions into the woods and generally kept
right at nay heels, but on one occasion he
Jagged behind, and although called him
several times he paid no heed finally
walked back to see what he was interested
in and found him busy feeding on soma
moss that grew at the roots Of a fir tree, so
left him and continued my tramp.
But after I had got away short dis
tance the thought occurred to me to hide
and see how he would act, SO I slipped
into hollow stump close by the trail
and awaited the result. Presently heard
him come bounding along the trail, and
after he had passed stuck out my head to
watch him. When he got about 90 feet
beyond me, he stopped and commenced
looking around, and the comical express
sion Of his face as he scanned every object
that bore any resemblance to human be.
ing caused me to burst out laughing,
when he turned and saw me. Then he
commenced to sulk and would not 20 any
farther, 80 had to return home.
The next day he followed me as usual,
but in the midst Of some thick brush and
down timber got interested in bird that
was following up and forgot the goat,
and when came to look for him he was
gone. Walking back to where last saw
him, / called. but no Billy came in sight.
Then commenced a diligent search, and
presently caught sight Of something white
beneath brush heap. STOPPING down and
looking in saw the little brute curled up
in heap, and not move could get out Of
him. Reaching in, / caught him by the leg
and pulled him out and gave him good
cutting On both sides of his head. But he
did not mind it q bit and seemed to enjoy
the joke immensely, capering about in his
usual manner all the way home, as if he
would say, ''You hid from me yesterday,
and hid from you today, and honors are

7a,s Picnic, P. III. s.

The Harvard class day reporter de-
nominated J. Pluvius as no gentleman
this season and certainly the skies of
Saturday did not favor out-of-doors
sports. Yet one would hardly have sup
posed twenty years since graduation had
passed over the heads of the merry
party that boarded the barge Marian
L. at the corner of Pine and Bracket
street at 8 o'clock p. m. There was
Anderson, armed with a horn and a
bugle and blowing flying echoes to the
listening air that we might seem as near
ly a tallyho, as closed canvases and mud
dy wheels would permit. There was
Noyes bearing some half dozen quarts of
peanuts; Thompson, Ilsley and Chandler
with Somers and DIR. Clark driving be-
hind in phaeton and Marrett at the
other end of the route to greet the
jewellers. And there were Lily Pickering,
Lizzie Coffin, Lulie Lynch, Hattie
Chandler, Lizzie Lyman, Clara Sawyer.
Marcia Bradbury, Nelly johnson and
Jennie French. Add to this husbands
and wives adopted by'72 and give the
new names and the missing titles and
you have the guests of the occasion to
the number of some % persons.
Mr.. John Leeman was an obliging and
capable driver and Mr.. A. S. Millett
kindly loaned his cottage at Delano Park
for the afternoon and evening. The
clouds drifted off and the glorious rocks
of the Cape shore were enjoyed in sea
view, unrivalled for beauty and variety.
One small Gunner was captured from the
deep flung aloft, secured with the COM
ment 'who caught the fish," and kept
as fnny souvenir.
All good things to eat of every nam
able variety graced the board, made at
tractive by wild flowers, watermelon,
oranges. apricots and cherries, not to
mention orange blossom syrup and
Florida guava The coffee fairly am
berized the richest of cream and was
pronounced fine and in successful search
of the right spot.
Sunset and chat of old times was fol-
lowed by an adjournment in doors, around
the fire. Here some poems were sup
plemented by stories and quotations.
The Ormond 'sOld Tom Cat'' was ap-
preciatively received. Mr.. E. G. Jordan
spoke for the married members. The
chairman, Mr.. Oman Adams, referred
feelingly to the death of one of the class,
Mr.. John Osgood, which had occurred
since our last meeting. Much regret was
expressed at the absence of Dr.. Banks,
Prof Small and other members, but the
old spirit of fun was rife and made of
all possible obstacles no drawbacks to
the pleasure of the hour. The class
came out as good as new in its ability to
have jolly good time and after the
drive home at $50 p. M separated with
hearty and cordial delight in the renewed
companionship of auld lang syne.
