Buffalo county land, of which the con-I tract called for It: acres, is an bland In I the Platte river. At the time Mr. Po- j herty viewed Ihe land with a view la I making the deal the rutte river was I high and he did not visit the Island. Some little time after signing the contract 1 and exchanging some of the deeds in the i deal Mr. Doherty went to view his Island 1 and was at once Impressed with Its ' amallness. He reported his views to Mr j Knight and the two lock a surveyor and : surveyed the Island, with the result thm I It was found to contain but a trifle more j than forty-one acres.

Bee Want Ads are Biawncsf Boosters. TOURISTS AND THEIR JEWELS Halt the Articles Pan-based Abroad Eade the lasloMho.se Taxes. "Half of the Jewels that come to Amer ica are smuggle nine-tenths of the smuggling Is done by American tourists and nine tlmea out of ten they lose money by It," said Ludwlg Nlssen, president of the Precious Stone Importers' association of New Vork. "The tourists are many and very long pursed, andrthey have the Idea, especially business men who have never hsd time to pay attention to Jewelry, that prices are much lower In Europe than hers. "When a rich men and his wife arrive In Paris, with nothing to do but visit the shops and become enamoured of the beautiful gems displayed, the shopkeepers take , very good care strongly to confirm this opinion. They have a clever near truth which they nee with the . greatest effect, that the United States Imposes a SO per cent duty on Jewelry. They are careful to leave unsaid that this charge applies only to madeup Jewelry, such as rings, brooches, etc, which are almost never Imported, while unset cut atones are taxed but M per cent, and gems la the rough go duty free. Since the cost of a piece of Jewelry depends almost wholly on the atones In It the price of Jewelry in America Is raised only some 10 per cent by the tariff, not SO per cent. And dearly the smuggler pays for his 1 per cent. Those traders know an American as soon as he enters their shops and raise their prices as a welcome to him. for rarely are the articles tagged. If the tourist la willing to haggle be can often buy for one-naif what was asked ot him first. "And even the lowest price Is apt to be higher than It wiuld be In America, for the enormous wealtn ot our country provides a better market tor such a luxury as Jewelry. We do business on a larger scale, with a. less percentage of I profit. And by the same token the Amer ican quaUty Is better, for our workshops, paying the largest salaries, attract the best craftsmen ot Europe. "The choicest stones are brought here too. On cabling an order to Europe 1 have often been answered. 'We Jiave no American goods,' meaning none of first quality. x "The bad bargaining of the amateur smuggler may not end when be leaves the store with his purchase. Sailing shortly to another continent, ha can hardly return or exchange-the goods It for any reason he cornea te regret having bought them. And when be attempts to smuggle them through Collector Loeb's custom house he runs a long risk of los ing his Jewele and bis money and his good name to boot. ."For the government has agents In thore same stores that kindly Instructed hun In how to avoid paying duty, aa his purchase may have been reported to those agents.
