Customs Officers of Paris with
His Vegetable Cart.

For some years a little wagon has
come into Paris daily from one of the
suburbs and in accordance with the
regulations it has been examined at
regular intervals by custom house Of
fcers, says the New York Herald
Their task, however, was easy, for
they never found in it anything but
fruit and vegetables, which are free
of duty, and so they naturally re-
garded the driver as an honest
countrvman, who was taking 10 mar
ket the produce from his little farm.
The other day through a mere ac-
cident, they found out their mistake.
A brewers wagon came in collision
with the little cart, and as its heavy
shaft shattered one Of the sides, a
stream of rich oil gushed out on the
sidewalk. As there is heavy duty
on oil the custom house officers ar
rested the innocent looking country
man and discovered, to their amaze
ment, that there was false bottom
in the cart, and that concealed from
view was tank capable OF holding
several quarts Of oil.
Subsequent invesd dgation showed
that oil had been brought for long
time n this surrepthious manner to
a dealer in Paris, and the authorities
are now carefully examining every
little wagon that enters Che city, in
order to find out whether -it also has
double bottom or not.
