4 shrswa Snusslins Trick : Levsly

"Some Of the sbrewdest tricks ever
played are by the smugglers Of opium, +"
said H. A. Tanning Of Seattle. Wash.
"A very unique smuggling scheme was
unearthed few years ago by United
States secret service officers in North
Dakota. 1t was noticed that an unusu.
ally large number Of cattle were being
driven across the line to the North Da-
kota markets. and the secret service
men planned an investigation. For
some time their work was in vain, and
they bad about given up hope of discov-
ering any unlawful operations when an
accident revealed the fact that the nos
trils OF the cattle were stuffed with
opium wrapped carefully in tinfoil, In
this way each steer was worth twice its
normal value. Hundreds upon hundreds
OF animals had been driven across the
border with their nostrils loaded with
opium, and it was estimated that the
smugglers had cleaned up profit of
fa5, 600 before the discovery was made
But the smugglers were sly and they
escaped and We're never captured. st,

Admiral Matthews has informed tile
Naval Committee that the sum requested
is none too extravagant for League
Islands needs. AT the meeting Of the
Naval Committee on Thursday he pointed
ont the absolute necessity Of enlarging
the present dry dock SO as to admit the
largest battleship OF the navy, and also
recommended the other Improvements
nee ded to turn the island into u first class
naval station. Will, such naval anthori-
ties active in behalf oi this conntry's
claims, it is difficult t" see how they can
be ignored. The present crisis shows the

the Atlantic coast, and where is there Il

meuts before was almost deserted, now
swarms with life aud activity. Two OF
three hundred sailors rushing about
with brooms brushes, pals aud n0zzles
give good deal Of life to the scene.
They also make a good deal of noise,
but through it all the officers sleep un-
disturbed, aud for ut least two hours
afhr. They are used to that sort OF thing.
After the ship has been tidied comes
breakfast. In the days Of old Jack used
to take his salt horse or pork and beans
out of metal dishes while squatting on
tarpaulin spread on the deck. Now.
however, he has such Injuries as q bare
pine table aud porcelain dishes. The
ships crew is divided into messes Of 20
or 25 men each, and the men who
"mess together" are those who eat at
the same table. There is much fellow
ship among messmates. Each mess
elects its cook from among its members.
II the cook does not suit then another
one is elected until finally the mess Is
satisfied The cook receives few dol
lars extra each month for his services.
Each mess also has its caterer who
buys the extras. AS Jack is a born
grumbler and il never satisfied with
what he has to eat he is allowed the
muniticent sum of -. cents day with
which to provide himself with the lux
uries Of the season. Needless to say be
