PIucked From the Plains
COT HER KICK

Women, according to customs men,
accept the idea that having once paid
for a thing they should pay something
more on it to bring it into their own
country.
A nice motherly woman on the other
side of sixty, with a fair amount of
this worlds goods, made a motor trip
into Canada. She was accompanied
by her son, who drove the car.
On the way home she asked him
If he were going to bring back any
thing in the way of liquor. He said
he was not and said it plainly He
did not propose to have any trouble,
or run any chances with a car worth
several thousands dollars for few
bottles of whiskey that he could get
from a bootlegger in San Francisco.
When they crossed the border the
old lady sat quietly. The customs men
made a perfunctory search, because
of the evident respectability of the
occupants. When she got home she
surprised her son by producing five
bottles of whisky.
Mother what did you do that for?'
You don't drink. That was an awful
chance to take. Besides, think of the
disgrace if you had been caught"
"Oh, shut up. / always smuggled
