Some amusing anecdotes are related
IN connection with the recent discoveries
Of smugglers' tricks A few years ago
an individual In an ecclesiastical cos
tune used to cross the frontier from
Switzerland into France every morning
with large broviary in his hand. He
was a man Of dignified aspect and re-
coived every mark OF Difference from the
customs officers, who sometimes accom-.
panied him part Of the way Of his daily
stroll At last a letter put the authori-
ties on tho alert, and tho presumed priest
was found to be professional smuggler,
who had contrived 20 introduce into
France at least 1000 watches In his
breviazy, which ON examination proved
20 be q tin box.
Very cuyions also was the experience
Of a former inspector general Of customs
here During visit 70 Geneva he bought
q clock and instructed the vender to for
ward Il only when he had informed him
of his return to Paris, adding that be
must be careful to pay the duty. Ono Of
the first things that he noticed on his
arrival at his home was this identical
timepiece In his drawing room, and in
reply to his questions his coachman ex-
planned that the tradesman had himself
slowed tho clock Hwny in his carriage.
It Is calculated that only one out Of ten
professional Snugglors Is ever caught.

people as sort Of Demiurg through
many centuries until some other miracle
working personality took his place at
the popular freside. Unusual accom-
plishinents. great crudition, were at
tributed to the supernatural influence,
