Smuggler's Ingenious Trick.
Arthur Mason, author of "The Fly

current news of liquor smuggling, a
story Of a very prosperous smuggler
with whom he was acquainted on thu
Pacific coast n number of years ago.
This man's wares were Chinese. Ho
brought them In, there Was no doubt
of tliut, But for long his professional
secret remained undiscovered, Itev
enue ofllcers'boardlng him could never
find anyone but his crew. Ills trick
was to have some curious collars mado
and nt tho nppronch of revenue men
he dropped his Chinese oerboard In
these, securely attached by n line.
When nil was clear ltd fished them up
again, apparently nOnd tho worfee In
health.
Daddy of All the Bugs.
The monster bug of the ago has been
found by n man In Hodgenvlllc, Kan.
The man found him when ho cut down
a tree. It Is 10 Inches from tip to tip
and weighed OVi pounds. It Is a dull
.ellowlsh brown color. The most
fttrlklng feature about It Is Its beak,
hnvhig a clasp nbovo and below. He
was f 1-O70H when found and thought to
be dead, but 'when warmed-up he made
a heavy buxzlng- noise that could be
heard 1100 yards. .Exclmngt.

"l'leitso help pay for my license" was
attached to a can fastened ubuut the

enough money was donated to save bis
life.
