FRENCH SMUGGLERS.
Tricks They Employ to Cheat the Gus
toms Officials.

Smugglers are also to be found in
France, according to IA Partisan who
is visiting Washington.
Speaking Of the various means
EMPLOYED to defraud the customs
authorities, the Partisan said:
1T must be remembered that
spirits and goods of various de-
scriptiohs are not allowed to enter
Paris without paving duty. The
tricks Of the fraudulent are num-
berIess. One inventive gentleman,
apparently of ample proportions.
made use Of an india rubber pocket.
He used it with a dummy stomach
in which to carry dutiable goods,
and when relieved of it by sus-
picious official he turned out to be
quite a thin man. A horse collar
worn by horse was found to be
full of chartreuse on another occa-
sion. The shafts of the little cart
behind the horse contained expen-
sive lace, neatly rolled up. Another
case was where foot warmer was
found under the feet of dear old
lady who entered Paris in a carr
1iage. The foot warmer was filled
with eau de cologne, out of which
in the past the highly respectable
old dame had been making a hand
some profit.

lied funerals, passing at long inter
walls through the various gates Of
Paris There was nothing suspicious
in the fact, since many Parisians
living in the suburbs insist on being
buried in one Of the beautiful Paris
cemeteries. The coffin was smoth-
cred under numberless wreaths of
flowers. The procession, like every
thing else, stopped at the gate, but
was invariably allowed to proceed at
once, the douaniers respectfully
greeting the dead, and that was all.
One day a procession was stopped
by number of carriages. There
had been some accident ahead and
the traffic was impeded. Meanwhile
one of the customs officers walked
near to the hearse in order to ad-
mire the violets and roses of the
wreaths. He shifted. Really there
was very strong odor Of brandy
about them. He promptly seized
one of his special and sharp tools,
sounded the wreaths and found that
they were made of metal and wood
and full of the best brandy. The
chief mourner was arrested and his
"wreaths" confscated. Funerals are

"A Collect For Thanksgiving Day.

"a Collect fOr thanksgiving Oay'
/ thank thee. Father. for thy sky,
Wherein thy little -sparrows fly;
For unseen hands that build and break
The cloud pavilions for my sake,
This feeting beauty. high and wild,
Toward which | wonder as child.
And thanks for mornings stir and light
And for the folding hush of night:
For those high deities that spread
The star filled chasm overhead;
For elfin chemistries that yield
The green fires of the April field;
For all the foam and surge of bloom.
For leaves gone glorious to their doom
All the wild loneliness that can
Touch the immortal In a man.
Father OF Life, thank thee, 500.
For old acquaintance, near and true;
For friends who came into my day
And took the loneliness away;
For faith that held on to the last,
For all sweet memories of the past
Dear memories of my dead that send
Long thoughts of life and Of life's end,
That make me know the light conceals
A deeper world than it reveals.
