In the exciting days of that region frequently frustrated the ingenuity and espionage of the United States internal revenue operainrs. The incident referred to was disclosed a few days ago at a Sheriff's sale of the possessions of an old mom-ameer financially invclved-Atuong the articl-s offered Tor sale was a copper keltic of ample dimensions which hud h-en much coveted throughout the momtain until it fell under the espionage of an interna! rt enue officer who, unable to stow It awuy in his band-bi g. proceeded with a double-bitted axe to render it unlit for service, either as a stdl for which it obviously had heen used, or Tor the lawful purpose of boiling Arter perforating the am gallon ves-Vel until it resembled a liuse scfvc Uncle Sam's roprehentuth cast it in-to an outbuilding, confidently belli v-Inj; tbat Ihe skill of all the rural cop.

It was unknown from whence came the six hundrid and retire rivets that were used In rendering the tub water tight, but the fact remains as was amply at the sale last week that the seemingly imopssi-ble task was uitima'ely accomplished. Sheriff Charles Weimer of Somerset county, who an experienced metal worker, declares that the repi induction of the old copper kettle is one of the finest pieces of craftsmanship that ever came undi his observation So skillfully had tlto torn pieces of copper been replaced that he is almost persuaded thtit the lost art of copper, hardening and annealing is r.nt lost to the backwoodsmen of the locality referred to. Sheriff Weimer. says 'that the Inside of the vessel at first sight looked as though it was perfect, but upon closer observation the green tracings of verdigris appeared until the whole resembled a pattern of the nighly prized cjnllt" in copper.

The "worm" which accompanied the articles referred to tould not be found and it is presumed to have been spirited away by a jeatou-. rival of the original owner. The articles were purchased by Charles S.

He made the tools especially, for the Job, alter the government agent who ted tho ub oa the vessel proudly books at the Conuells- ichino Car Company where formerly employed as cashier and bookkeeper.

The job under the exceedingly unfavorable circumstances, required alt artisan of inex- Ihaustible patience, hut how wpll be 'succeeded is shown by the fact that the kettle was again used, answering the same purpose as a new one.
