years ago when I was across. | had a

American" he continued. This chap
was one of the pests that you meet
over there. He could send the cold
shivers UP and down your back with
his chatter about surviving medieval
methods of punishment and how easy
it was for an American to fall into all
kinds of trouble without knowing it.
AS we neared the French frontier he
specialized on the subject of customs
infringement. Nothing, it appeared,
made Frenchman half SO mad as
trying to fool him by smuggling in
things on which the government was
running a pretty careful corner
But I'm all right about tobacco l
told him. Why, I've only got small
bag with me and l guess l won't have
any trouble about that
HE leaned across and touched my
knee. Where have you put it, he
asked in a whisper that implied SYM
pathy, dread, horror and lots of fore
boding:.
I'm my ulster pocket l answered.

"There wasn't any use protesting
that had no idea of cOncealing 1t. He
lust nodded and winked and then
looked away out of the window.
Just then we stopped and l heard
doors being slammed open all alons
the train. Some one was going along
beside the compartments calling out
sing song refrain in something that
sounded to my ears like French.
What's the trouble?' I asked my
friend.

our own door was flung open.

about the station. When I saw them

I noticed a man pushing a long pole

Il saw that he showed that pole un-
der all the seats of every cOmpart-
ment and scraped IT over the floor to
locate any bags or bundles that had
been tucked away
Him, They're pretty careful
aren't they?' I thought to myself
Perhaps I'd better get out that pack

side But then remembered my
trunks and I thought could be back
in the compartment soon enough to

Persia. like Turkey, is awakening
from her sleep OF centuries, and aspires
to reassume the position she once oc-
cupied in the affairs of the great
world. She has a constitution and
sorle other modern improvements. but
she hasn't caught UP with the times
enough to provide herself with a real
transportation system. Horses and
donkeys still constitute the passenger
and freight carving resources of the
empire which once dominated the east.
Still, Persia has one railroad 1t is ten
miles long. ard runs from Teheran. the
capital, to the shrine Of defunct shah.

his patients all the whislley they car

Health sitting at Jefferson City, repri-

treatment, but the doctor came back
with testimonial, backed by affidavit
from a former patient who declared he
was cured of an apparently incurable
thirst and that after thirty days of this
heoric treatment he voluntarily climbed
on the water wagon and now has a firm
and secure seat thereon. The treatment
is not entirely new Many years ago it
was applied to confirmed inebriates
among the Russian soldiery in still
more pronounced way. They were
treated with and TOD vodka ad libi-
tum and, actually, ad nauseam. 1t was
not only given to them to drink, but it
entered into every item of the bill of
fare Their bread, meat, potatoes, tea
and coffee, all contained booze and they
were not even allowed water without
