SmuggIers Tried to Beat Uncle Sam

NEW oRLEANS.-one of the odd
~ est" cases that have puzzled the
local customs department happened a
few days ago, and. as in the great
percentage Of cases, the land agents
of Uncle Sam guessed right and saved
the old gentleman few dollars In ad-
dition to knowing that they had saved
him from being "bunkoed."
Under the parcels post and the GUS
toms regulations. provision is made
for a certain class of samples" which
may be sent into this country. Al
though strict restrictions are drawn,
there are many foreigners who try
every year to use this little loophole
as one through which to send goods
without paying duty. Knowing this.
all samples are subjected to close
scrutiny by the government agents.
1t seems that a gentleman In Asia
Minor in the City of Smyrna, sought
information from friends in New Or

a small business, learned Of the loop

put one over" the sharp-eyed agents.

Negress Lost Her Chinese Bridegroom

VANCOUVER, Wash.-A comic

Portland and a young negro woman,
attired in an old rose colored suit
topped off with red hat. were actors
was staged on the lawn of the county
courthouse, with the employees Of the
building and callers as the audience,
when vain attempt was made to OBJ

The Chinaman, about forty years
old and well dressed. wearing no

peared at the courthouse at an early
hour, accompanied by the young ne
gress, who he said was twenty-four
years old. She was logged out for
the happy occasion with huge bow
of black ribbon to hold the front edges
of the coat together, an immense red
hat and tremendous smile upon her
face.
Finding the auditors office all right,
the Chinaman asked his all.important
question, "Catchem license?" He was
told that witness was necessary be-

mile down-you can't miss 1t, because
it's the only house on the road"
Darlington noted that the trees
grew closely to the very borders Of
the road, and the road itself bore lit
tie ev ience of travel; grass grew
along the tracks Of ancient wheels.
Trembling road wound in and out
among the closely pressing trees Of
the forest, slightly descending as it
went; sometimes it narrowed to
scarcely moro than a footpath and
again It broadened at some point
where the forest had retreated in a
deep curve.
It was strangely gloomy road,
even on this bright June afternoon,
and Darlington wondered what must
be the aspect Of the Fletcher place,
which he had come to examine in be-
half Of client who wanted to buy a
country home for a mere song
He was not favorably impressed by
the approach to the place, although
his client was rich enough to cut new

gray coat, and pushed his way up an
overgrown path to the broad verandg

Our Daily LIE.

Our daily companionship with him
should be the saving power Of all
our living. We should begin the day
in prayer with him. 1t will strength
en- us for the days tasks and tempta'
tions. We should every morning read
a few of his words. They will go
with us, sweetening all the day and
making tender and compassionate our
hearts, beside setting the tone Of all
our transactions. Above all, true
companionshlp is to look at all men
and all problems through his eyes, to
take his attitude toward life. This
is to have the mind of Christ Christ
is manifested to the world not
through sermons but by the daily
witness in our lives. The world may
not accept him, but 1t will know him
better. Perhaps, when he is thus
shown forth he may draw all men to
him. The worlds idea of Christ lie
largely formed from the lives Of hii

We may ask, Why is this, when the
things Just enumerated are undenied
facts? We may have partial answer
in the consideration of the things that
stand out as an Offset to these things,
facts as undeniable as they. If we
consider the conditions which charac-
terize all activities we are given
pause. If we look at men In business

manufacturing, or even agriculture,
the elements Of competition and
chance keep the nerves stretched; II
we consider the professions, law, med
lcine, or theology, the rivalry, how
ever inexcusable, proves a nerve
racking experience; and II we enter
the spheres Of politics, the game at
first pleasant, at last comes to effort
to overcome opponents sometimes by
chicanery or even the use Of corrupt
practices. To such men the modern
conveniences and appliances bring lit
tie relief. Even that which was pos
