ALMOST TURNED THE TRICK
Clever Scheme of English Smugglers
Only Frustrated by Luck at the
Last Moment.

One of the most ingenious Of SNUG
Cling tricks was that originated by
band of clever Partisan rOgues recent
ly. A coffin, supposed to contain the
dead body of man who had died OF
diphtheria, was dispatched from the
gay city for burial in London. 1t was
met at the railway terminus in that
country, and conveyed at nightfall to a
house not far from the Mile End road,
Whitechapel Everything would have
passed off as desired and planned had
not a policeman on duty become sus-
picious on seeing a particularly large
coffin being taken out of hearse in
to a house that was known to be the
habitation of men who had done penal
servitude.
After the funeral party had shut
their door and the hearse had driven
away, the policeman secured assistance
and knocked at the door. 1t was found
that the coffin, instead Of containing a
corpse, was filled tightly with cakes
of tobacco, dozens of boxes of cigars,
and other excisable goods, The
"mourners" were Immediately arrested
and the goods confiscated.

HUSBAND MUST BE AMERICAN
Popular Singer Declares They Are tho
Best In the World, and Perhaps
She 10 Right.

A young American singer who re-
full career abroad, expecting to reap
here high honors and much money, an
nounces that she is a candidate for
matrimony, but only American men
need apply. Her verdict Is that the
Russian husband is cruel, the German
selfish, the Frenchman untrue, the
italian BROKE" the Spaniard jealous
and lazy and the Englishman domineer-
ing. These CONGRATULATIONS are I'M
doubtedly too strong. There are as
good husbands In each of the coun-
tries as anywhere, but the foreigner
who deliberately hunts an American
girl Is apt to be an adventurer, and
we hear of all the bad cases. We do
not hear of the thousands Of American
women happily married and living in
every country in Europe.
1t is to be hoped that the singer will
find husband with none of the bad
qualities mentioned and with all OF
the virtues. We feel at liberty, how
ever, to point out that there are some
mighty bad husbands In this country
and that American birth alone is no
guarantee of perfection. 1t is true,
however, that the ordinary American
husband is the best trained animal
in captivity. He eats out of his wife's
hand and signs checks and is thankful
for the opportunity. There are millions
Of such husbands now and millions
of candidates for the yoke--Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
He TOOK The RISK
sv FLoREucE HENDERSON.

BY FLOREHCE HENDERSON.
Its O nervy thing to ask you to do,
Alling," spoke the chief clerk of the
Empire National bank.
I'm willing to take the risk smiled
Gerald Alling quietly, .'for two allur-
ing reasons.
Would it be impertinent for me to
ask what those reasons might be?'
"You are so good a friend" replied
Alling promptly, that | am glad to
tell you. First reason: / hail with de-
light any variation in my humdrum
work Of counting money in screened
cage. Second reason: l am in love
with Mr.. Wards daughter, Lucy, and
| would like to make good impress
sion on her father, who, to tell the
truth, rather frowns on my matrimon1-
al aspirations"
Il see. Very good" laughed the
chief clerk. II hope this new ex-
perience will lead to a contamination
of your wishes all around"
Young Alling had been with the
bank for three years and was a model
employee. The Mr.. Ward he spoke OF
was the special messenger OF the in
stitution. For years, whenever large
amounts of securities or money were
to be delivered, it was the duty of
Ward to attend to 1t.
The coin transmissions were made
in a wagon guarded by special officers.
Mr.. Ward disdained such protection.
With his money satchel handcuffed to
his wrist he had carried hundreds OF
thousands of dollars across the city.
One day his good luck missed him.
AS he was passing an open area way
two men hustled him down its steps.
Two others stationed below seized him.
He was knocked senseless with a
slungshot and when he recovered con-
seriousness the men and satchel were
gone.
Fortunately the amount of currency
in the satchel was small, but over $780,
600 in bonds had been secured by the
bold footpads. They were of no value
to the robbers, but until they were re-
covered or proof positive of their de-
struction was secured, the bank had
to put up large bond against them.
Out of all this had grown a sugges-
ton from the chief clerk of the bank.
Ward was to carry the money as be-
fore, only to distribute about his per
son. He was to proceed on his mis-
sion secretly from a side exit of the
bank Gerald was to carry the satchel
empty.
The hope was that the old gang OF
robbers might be on the watch for a
more profitable opportunity. They

BY Comparison, the Lion Was Inoffen-
sive and MiId-"Butts Like
Battering RAM" a

The tidings that lamb is appearing
on the stage in the production of
Joseph and His Brethren" has been
noised far and wide. Several cores
pondents have written to ask why a
lion should not also appear, the pair
lying side by side. But that has al
ready been done, by Lord George
Stranger and thereby hangs a tale.
When the sale of the old sshowmans
menagerie took place, the two animals
were put together, and bought by Mr..
Fred emmett, of Dick Turpin fame.
By this time the lamb had got pretty
long in the tooth, to say the least Of
it. A few days afterwards an ac-
quaintance asked Mr.. emmett how the
happy pair we're getting on.
"I wish l had never seen them"
said the Snowman, gloomily.
WHY'S he savage?"
Savage is not the word for it. He
won't let anyone come near him."
Indeed! / thought he looked such
a mild old lion"
Lion? Lion be blowed! It's the
lamb 1 mean. He butts like a batter

That night he showed his gratitude

done some thinking in his behalf.
When Gerald left the invcntor't room
he carried a fair-sized package which
he took down to the bank with him.

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use Of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that it is
tne cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other, things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for while,
at least. and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of a new beverage that is
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink She writes:
II am 40 years old and all my life,
up to a year and half ago, l had
been coffee drinker.
Dyspepsia, severe headaches and
heart weakness made me feel some

coffee, my heart would go like a clock

would almost stop and / was so nerv-

would frighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly refuse to support me,

know that coffee was causing the trou-

he knew that, and both exerted the

Nothing Of a sensational character
had happened along of his carrying

however, the bank detective came to

a genius and grateful to the young
