Not knowing what was the matter, 200 men and women occupants of the stand rushed for the field, falling over one another In their efforts to escape some unseen catastrophe
 Fortunately few cut noses and slight body bruises were the most SC. we're injuries. Several women could not be induced to return to the stand and they witnessed the remainder of the game from the field. The mice are still at large.

 The unfortunate lady doubled one of the napkins twice ani couldn't help but notice it," said the officer who spied her.
 Catching female smugglers is diff icult work. The women seem to be cleverer than the men at smuggling and they will take longer chances. When they are caught they weep and go into mysteries.
 "Oh. the women are certainly the clever smuggiers." said Nils, Daisy Zuckriegel, who is stationed at the Woodward avenue dock to watch the women who go back and forth on the ferries Eight years experience has made Miss Zuckriegel an expert at spotting smugglers.
 How do 1 spot smuggiers?"
 Well. there are several ways. For instance. watch the people going over the river and l generally re member them when they return.

Great Saving of Time.

The manager of one of the electric light companies of the western part of the country has greatly facilitated the business of making the monthly readings Of meters by having these instruments placed on the rear porches of houses instead of fin theI cellars. About half of the meters of this company are now located in some convenient and protected place In the rear of the house. where 1t is always accessible without regard to the pres ence or absence of the inmates of the house. The result is that the average time formerly consumed by the in- spector has been cut about in half.
