FRISCHHOLZ BROS 405 11th Street, :An Incident in Europe That Was Very Funny. j Smuggling in these days Is far ln .moved from the grim realities which .'characterized it 70 years ago. A charming piece of light comedy which quite recently took place in the Gris tons brings this fact into clear relief. The game Is now so little dangerous ;that girls in their nonage can play It, even with the glamor of armed con Wet thrown in. Two sisters named Bachero, ad 17 and 19, were engaged in getting quantity of contraband tobacco from I ;the Swiss to the Italian side of ike (frontier when they were surprised by two customs officers in the Stilfser jjoch Pass. i Instead of being a ground for alarm, fthis was merely the cue for an episode worthy of light opera. While the elder .eft thetwo sisters pushed on as rapid ity as possible with her load, the lyoanger, with all the coolness of aj brigand of romance, posted herself (behind a ledge of rock and opened fire jmpon the officers with a rifle. It was jnot that she aimed at them with any werioas intent. Bloodshed, Indeed, jwas no part of the program. It was .enough to burn powder, and .plenty of it The officers, finding themselves ittnrr fire, naturally took cover and returned It This went on for about half an hour .without any harm being done, and, in deed, ao far as the fair' girl smuggler jWaa councerned, without any being in tensed. r Her sole purpose was to keep (the. enemy In check till her companion ted got far enough ahead to be secure. As soon .as she judged that this had been done, she slung her rifle and, lipping away by the Impossible tBsbuatain tracks familiar only to anaagsiers, made good her retreat to jrejoia her sister on the other side of die-border. Both escaped, leaving the josBcers with a painful sense of having !beea laughingly outwitted. Berne correspondence Pall izette. T. G. WALKER m LIVE STOCK AUCTIONEER NEWMAN GROYE, NEB.

Southward from the summit of ML Moosilauke and near Its base lies the pretty little village of Warren, N. H. Here lives the town's genius, whom everyone calls "Pat," one who. is ever ready with his good nature and Irish wit to make friends with alL One cold, rainy day the Methodist minister of the town met "Pat" on the street in his shirt sleeves and said, "Pat, you ought to have on .yoar coat, you will catch your death of cold. "Sure, I won't" replied Pat. " "Whem I get a good soaking I use a little whiskey and always come oat all right." "But, Pat," said the minister. "May I ask where yon rub it on?" "Ton are loo wise a man to ash such a question as that," replied Pat, with a laugh. Bridget Was Willing to Work. "We had at one time in our serv ice," says a modern housekeeper, "a very simple young woman, who came to us through one of the registry of flees In our town. "She showed the quality of her in telligence on the very day she came. She was told to go out into the yard and take down the clothes line, which was stretched upon half a dosen posts set up for that purpose. "Bridget was at the .task so long that we began to wonder what 'on earth had become of, her. We weat out to see what she was doing, and found her working away vigorously with a spade. She had dag ap three of the posts and had almost completed the work upon the fourth. She did not stay with us long! "Spare Mo ments." "By their works ye shall know them."
