The exacting regulations of the cus- toms service bear heavily on the Amer- can returning from a trip abroad. The man or woman who cannot find more than the legal limit of $100 to invest in trinkets, presents, and various person- al articles of apparel is rare. To be held up like a criminal and be forced spectors the value of every little ar- ticle in one’s baggage is vexatious. So people frequently resort to subter- fuge. A man who had been in Siberia on business had an opportunity to buy there at very reasonable rates some beautiful sable skins. He decided that it was too good a chance to make his wife a desirable gift to be overlook- ed; so out of hundreds of skins he se- lected a dozen of great beauty. On reaching New York he sought the co- operation of several men friends, and each of them slipped a skin or two down the legs of his trousers, tying them with twine to his suspenders to prevent them from dropping too far. It was a very hot day, and as they stood about on the pier waiting to be passed by the customs men the skins got warm and smelled villainously. Finally, passed by the inspectors with their baggage, they hastened to a place where in seclusion they could remove the sable skins and turn them over to the owner. Later the latter told the house that was to make them up of his ruse, and was considerably startled when the manager sald: “That was a good deal of trouble to take with an article that Is not dutiable.”—The Sunday Maga- zine, GREAT NAMES HAVE GONE Long List of Men of Genlus Whose Line Is No Longer Represented on the Earth. ‘When one considers how many fam. {lies there are which trace their an- cestry in a direct line for many gen- erations, it is rather a surprising fact that there is not a single living de- scendant in the male line of some of the greatest men the world has ever produced.

You will find them all answered in the pages of the modern, prqgressive newspaper. People read advertising now for in- struction and information, as well as for its “bargain” possibilities. New ideas, new thoughts, inspira- tions, and suggestions come to you if you take advantage of the advertising pages of this newspaper. Don’t neglect your ad reading. regarding genius, it probably is far better that there should be no disap- pointing ordinary persons left in the world to represent the men whom we delight to honor. To find a Milton engaged in the in- surance business, or a Byron on the stock exchange would jar dreadfully on one’s sense of the fitness of things. The following is a list of some of the fllustrious men whose line never will be represented on the earth again as long as the world stands: Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spencer, Mil ton, Cowley, Butler, Dryden, Pope, Cowper, Goldsmith, Byron, Moore, Sir Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Raleigh, Drake, Cromwell, Hampden, Monk, Peterborough, Nelson, Bolingbroke, Walpole, Chatham, Pitt, Fox, Burke, Washington, Canning, Bacon, Locke, Newton, Davy, Hume, Gibbon, Mac- to discuss with inquisitive custom in- | LIKE PIRATE DAYS OF OLD Men Who Were Shanghaled From Norfolk, Va., Seek Satisfaction From Authorities, The days of the oyster pirates and old wind jammers were recalled when Walter McGirth, son of a North Caro- lina farmer, and Ebert Cocran, son of a former Pittsburg banker, told how they had been changhaied at the point of a pistol and forced to work their way as seamen to Hamburg when they thought that they were going to ship to Boston, says the Philadelphia Times. The immigration -authorities are hand- ling the case and a deputy United States marshal, accompanied by the two men, i1s on the way to Norfolk to arrest the agent who shipped them, The two young men met last Nov- ember in Norfolk, Va. Both were out of employment and sought work about the docks. They were met, according to their story, by an alleged crew ship- ping agent, who offered to book them on the steamer Dortmund of the Ham- burg-American line, which was lying at the docks. The young men were told that the ship was bound for Bos- ton. They accompanied the agent ta an office. They say that they met a Swede on the way and he consented to go along. The three were asked to sign ship- ping papers, but the Swede refused to sign until he had read them. This angered the agent, who is alleged to have drawn a revolver and knocked the Swede unconscious. The young men say that they were, glven about $3, worth of clothing and put abeard the ship. Then they learned that they were bound for Ham- burg instead of Boston, but were forced to work. When the steamer reached the. other side of the Atlantic the young mem went to Consul Gen- eral Skinner at Hamburg and lodged their complaint. Mr. Skinneg |, sent them back to this country to || make their complaint to the immigna- tion authorities, { SUICIDES, MALE AND FEMALE Three German Men to One. Woman KIlll Themselves, According to Prussian Statistics. If Prussian statistics give any idea of the relative proportion, then women must be much fonder of life than men, for more than three men commit sui- cide for every woman who takes her own life; According to the Berlin correspond ent of the Lancet, the number of suf cides in Prussia showed a slight de- crease during the year 1911, when 2i cases were registered for each 100,000: of the population, @8 compared with.22: in 1910.

The discovery has been made by & western arl professer that drowsiness in church is due not so much to the sermon as to a clashing color scheme in church decoration. “How can a person listen to an address when the decorations of the church are inharm- onfous? When the curtains are pink, the cushions red and the decorations are yellow and blue the emotions of the audience are affected and they be- come drowsy.” Yet a pale pastel hue, in the pulpit doubtless has a somne- Try a Want Ad I-2 Cent a Word---Cash | lent effect on the congregation.

If there is any- thing that the old graveyards show it Is-that the “mothers” lived hard while they did live, but seldom lived long. That “mother” today only does.about twice as much work as her husband— we are speaking of the average “moth- or”"— is the reason, an investigator avers, why the race 1s degenerate.

A writer in Country Lfe in America gives some advice on the bringing up of a dog. As he tells it, the process looks easy enough. The first and most important lesson for & pup to learn is to stop anything he may be doing when you say “Stop,” and to continue when you say “All right” If well learned, this will explain to him all future commands. After this comes the lesson to lie down when you com- mand “Down,” and to stay down while you leave him. For this latter it is best to tie him to something, and then it he does not drop when you call “Down” from a distance, return quickly and, scolding, push him down forcibly. food should be his reward if he does right. Qualnt Charity. A quaint charity exists in South Shields, Eng., which operates, accord- ing to the will of the deceased donor, once a year. It 18 known as the “Win- terbottom Awards for Unmarried Female Domestic Servants,” and the chief object is to reward domestics for faithful and satisfactory service. This year the candidates numbered 16, and all fulfilled the conditions, which are that they shall have not less than ten years’ service in one situation. The last awards ranged from $15 down to £12.50. according to length of service One Way to Publicity.
