She found her way up the three

Examine Ira veiers' Trunks.
One of the most humorous phases
of passing through the custom
house is connected with the fact that
its officials often seem to reserve
their gravest dispieasure for tho
very honest people. A writer in the
Outlook says that size had bought a
dress pattern of lo6en, a sort of
wooden goods made only in the Tyrol,
and packed it in the top of her
trunk for the inspection of the
Italian officials. One after another
the trunks were unlocked anil closed
again until nothing was left but an
unpretending little straw one which
had been overlooked.
"You have nothing in it-nothing
signora?" asked the officer.
"Yes, have" was my unexpected
reply. at is just here on top"

my uncut goods. The train whistled,
officials grunted, people jostled past
us and glared at me. / knew he
wanted to say, why do you bother
me by declaring it?"
He wrenched the loden out of the
trunk and started toward an inner
office, bidding me follow. There
was greeted by another official in
these words, spoken with excitement
and much gesticulation:
'How is this? just now at the
last moment and the train ready to
go! How is this?"
One man was weighing the goods,
another posing pen in his hand,
and half a dozen looking ON.
why is this?" repeated the chief
officer. "Why do you declare this

Perhaps it would have been bet

MARRlED THE -FOUR SISTERS.
Icnnesseean Divorced From Three
But Now Happily Mated.

n Tennesseean Divorced From Three
But Now Happily Mated.
Living in the mountains near Muir
tyeesbOro, Tenn, says CORE spond-
@nt Of the Philadelphia Times. is a
family which has singular history
in matrimonial way. The father
owns little farm and four daugh-
ters, or did own the latter. A man
named Phillips. about fifteen years
/ ago, married the eldest OF these
daughters, and after few years OF
married life the lady ran away with
1 the husbands sworn enemy. He
procured o divorce from her and
wooed the second sister and took
her home, but the next day the
woman turned up at home and said
she wouldn't live with Phillips, and
| after time succeeded in getting
legally free from him Then
! the third sister, undaunted by what
| had gone before, married the husband
| OF her two sisters Soon after this
the fellow was sent to the penitenti-
| airy for an offepse that kept him
there three years, and when he came
out he found that his wife's tickle
fancy had strayed while he was alb
sent and had fixed itself upon a
neighbor, John Callahan. BY law
she was entitled to divorce from
her husband, as he was a convicted
feion, so getting it she married her
lover. In the meantime the first
wife had found that the man with
whom she had eloped would not mar.
ry her after Phillips had divorced
her, and returned home. Then Mrs.
Callahan wandered back TO her
father, for her husband No. 9 could
not or would not support her. So in
this way the old man had once more
his four daughters on his hands, and
Phillips was still free.
The youngest daughter was now
about Is and she also fell victim to
the fascination the man Phillips APP
pears to have exorted over them all
at first and becoming infatuated
with him consented to marry him.
Phillips went to the father for the
fourth time to ask for a daughters
hand and was told that he might
have her on condition that he kept
her. Phillips promised, and the
ceremony was to take place the
following night, when the ex-wives,
growing jealous, armed themselves
ana swore that the marriage should
never take place. so Phillips rode to
town and swore out warrant against
the sisters, telling of their tt Yeats.
The women were then sworn to keep
the peace, but Phillips thought it
prudent, however, to run away with
his bride to kentucky and marry her
there, This time his matrimonial
venture seems to have terminated
happily, for he has three children
and is prosperinr.
