Perhaps the cleverest scheme ever
put together for evading custom house
duties and practically smuggling goods
into the country has been brought to
light by the death Of an old French
man In Indiana. When he came here
he was one Of the poorest In the coun-
try, and when he died he was one Of
the wealthiest. His name was Pierre
]. D'Heur, and he laid the foundation
OF his fortune In this way: He had a
friend In a great glove factory in
France, and had him send thousands
Of pairs Of the best gloves in two con-
signments, n to New Orleans and
one to New York. When the New Or
leans consignment was opened 1t was
found to contain only left hand gloves.
and D'Heur refused 1t. Later the
consignment wasp put UP at auction and
D'Heur bought 1t FOR a mere nothing
Then came the New York consignment
which, oddly enough. contained only
right hand gloves, which were also
refused by D'Heur on account of the
mistake" and also afterward bought
by him at public auction, thus escap-
ing the payment OF any duty.

Chief Wilkie OF the secret service
has discovered a new use for a we'll
known instrument of civil engineer
ing. the transit, which is a sort OF
spyglass on stills. While a govern
ment employee was al work on the new
federal building In San Francisco he
noticed that a man was bringing some
thing small to 9 window frequently In
a building about 200 yards away.
Bringing a transit into play the OBJ
server convinced himself that the man
was at work on bogus money. "A se-
cret-servfce detective was summoned
and he peeked through the transit.
Then he went oyer and arrested the
man for counterfeiting. making what
Chief Wilkie regards as a most i'm

came the victim IF serious Kidney and
Liver Trouble. He was very bad. but
has entiIe,y recovered. He gives the
story in his own words. as follows:
IT have been a sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trouble,
and have tried many RENE lies. some Of
which gave ne temporary relief, and
others which We're absolutely worth
less. I began to think hat there was
no help for me. when my neph gave
me part OF a box Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills which he had left. saying that 1t
would do no harm to try them, as they
had certainly fixed him all right. What
he gave me helped me so much that I
felt justified in purchasing more, and 1
grew slowly better. 1t took almost w
months to effect a complete cure. as
mine was a very bad case, but I can
cheerfully and ~truthfully say that I am
a well man to-day, and I'M very CRATE
full that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus
brought to my notice"
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have Gre
ated quite a sensation in some parts
Of the state. Their does not seem to
be any case of Lame Back. Rheuma-
tism, Kidney or Bladder Trouble which
these wonderful Pills cannot cure.
They are certainly popular here, and
the sale through the local druggists is
very large.
