up and then, holding 1t out TO the wo

Madam, here is some money you
dropped" He tried to smile signiti
cantly as lie said ii. but she didn't
seem to understand and said simply:
",Tain't mine"

The woman shook her head at first
then took II slowly out OF his hand and

man looking down at the platform,
rushed up and cried, WAS you look.

The Eorentine republic had .
unique method Of dealing with its
too ardent democrats. In 1898 the
state passed the famous Magma
Charta Of Florence" to curb the
cruelty and rapacity Of the lawless
mobiles, who, in defiance Of the law
courts, we're accustomed to fog and
torture their dependents at will
The act practically DISTINGUISHED
these titled harpies by a clause
which excluded them from the
signory, a body in the state CORE
spending to the British cabinet In
less they renowned their nobility.
This curious provision prepared the
way for a still more extraordinary
clause, which enacted that any
member Of the democratic party
who made himself obnoxious to the
government and vas by them de-
clared to be "guilty Of treason to
the commonwealth" should be given
a patent Of nobility and thus at the
same moment be raised in the social
scale and reduced to a political no
body at the will Of the state.-Lon-

Tricks They Employ to Cheat the Qua
toms Officials.

toms Officials.
S~mugglers are also to be found in
France, according to a Partisan who
is visiting Washington.
Speaking Of the various means
employed to defraud the customs
authorities. the Partisan said:
at must be remembered that
spirits and goods Of various de-
scriptions are not allowed to enter
Paris without paying duty. The
tricks Of the fraudulent are num-
berless. 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 a sus-
picious official he turned out to be
quite a thin man. A horse collar
worn by a 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 a foot warmer was
found under the feet Of a dear old
lady who entered Paris in a car
riage- The foot warmer was filed
with eau de cologne, out Of which
in the past the highly respectable
old dame had been making a hand
some profit.
"One Of the cleverest smugglers
used the following method to SNUG
gle brandy into town: He organ
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 a 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-
the violets and roses Of the
wreaths. He smiled. Really there
was a very strong odor Of brandy
about them. He promptly seized
one Of his special and sharp tools,
sounded the wreaths and found that
hey we're made Of metal and wood
md full Of the best brandy. The
.hief mourner was arrested and his
'wreaths" c~onfscated. Funerals are
low closely watched and do not es-
ape investigation at the gates Of
Paris" W Herald.
