: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

Southward from the summit of ML

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

very simple young woman, who came
to us through one of the registry of

"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

They said, "The president would not

put his, wife's on instead." Salomon
admitted the resemblance, and finally
he consented, to use his own portrait to
adorn the-stamps. At about the time
