at the custom house and the silk buyer

the value Of a kimono which arrived
at the Office Of the surveyor Of Gus toms
for appra,sement, the Times of that
city says.
1t was p dainty silken thing, lavefl-
der In color, which lay on the table
of Cashier Thomas for two hours The
garment was sent to the custom house
by the postmaster at Somerset, KY,
who received 1t few days ago through
the mail from Japan He did not send
in the address of the owner
This was aggravating to the young
woman experts called in. 81 know
every woman in Somerset" one said,
land I'd just like to know who is go
ing to wear that"
For half an hour i puzzled Surveyor
Taylor and two or three of his men
assistants to discover just what the
garment was.
1T looks to me like the court gown
of the queen of Zanzibar" said Clay
Miller. who measures steamboats, and
superintends the loading Of merchan-
disc at the custom house depot.
Don't you know anything at all?"
exclaimed one of the women clerks,
pushing her way through the puzzled
group. Why, that's kimono."
What in the thunder is a kimono?"
inquired Deputy Sam Barber. They
don't have that kind of thing down
in Bath County, where / came from"
Finally when the officials decided
that there was nothing dangerous
about the garment they started IN fix
ing the value. 1t was estimated to
be worth all the way from $3.50 to
s15n. The kimono was finally carried
to a department store. where the silk
buyer said 1t was worth $14
Later the kimono was bundled into
a box and started back to the Somer-
set postmaster with instructions to
charge the owner $500 duty.

All fashioned with supremest grace,
Uprising day and night
SSringing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness
Where no man passes byI

To beautify the earth;
To comfort man-to whisper hopes
Where'er his faith is dim.
For who so careth for the flowers
