A BIT TOO SHREWD.
One Venture In Which the Captain
OVerreached Himself

NcFTSdCncO F1if1Selr.
One OF Uncle Sans customs officials.
noted for his success in unmaskins
smugglers, said the other day in q dis.
cussion Of Il customs officers duties:
zone must be shrewd. but not too
shrewd; otherwise one overreaches
oneself. like Captain Harrow OF Isles
borough
Captain Harrow OF Islesborough
was trading at Key West In a small
vessel. Business took him up the coast
10 Tampa bay, and he bought twenty
dozen chickens from a farmer at 81 a
dozen.
The chickens were all sizes-some a
few days old and no bigger than ca
nary birds; some fat and large. like
turkey gobblers. The captain expect
ed 10 make a lot OF money out OF
them. he was very shrewd at a trade.
We'll, at Key West a hotel man
came aboard and looked the chickens
over.
They are fine birds he said. How

pick them out, can let you have them
for So
"'All right You pick them out said
the hotel man.
Captain Harrow picked out a dozen
chickens OF the canary bird size.
Here you are, twelve prime broil-
ers, he said, with q leer.

"; another dozen
The next dozen was OF necessity
larger.
Go on said the hotel man. Keep

And the third dozen was larger suu.
The captain looked at his patron anx-

Keep right on
The next dozen was fine and plump.
and the next comprised the biggest

Then at last Captain Harrow saw
how he had Overreached himself. The
