AN OFF Day esterday was an of day
for Deputy Assessor Shellars in his Chinese
poll-t tax collections. He hailed at the
depot Chinaman who said he wanted 10
leave by the Woodland train, and de-
manded his pOll-taX, but the Celestial de-
carcd he was bloke" The officer there
upon levied upon the Cclestials carpct-bag
| by way Of persuasion. thinking its owner
| had money but would not produce it. The
| Chinunan started for | street on the run to
get s., and returned i'll great haste directly
after the Woodland train lett Shellars
was sorry that he had interfered, thus
causing the Chinaman $ detention, but ii
! transpiTed that the latter's ticket was for
Stockton, and if he had not been stopped |
| he would have taken the wrong train As |
it was, lie got off without delay Just be- |
! far,, he SatrlaI hp IaI |

answer, and started to run. The officer |
pursued and captured him, and took |
| possession of IN old black travelling bag |
| he carried-a large lean affair. so exceed |
ingly empty that dyspeptic looking at ii |
would groan in sympathy with it. If it |
contained anything at all no one but |
Shellars and the owner know, and Shcllars |
| won't tell. The Chinaman grinned as he |
| got on the cars, calling 10 the officer, |
| Where you going put him? \ ou look |
| see no one steal him.. And the officer at |
| once became firmly convinced that John |
had been putting up a job on him 10 get |
| out of town without paving his tax. In |
pursuing this Celestial the Collector |
dropped his spectaclcs, pair he thought |
much OF, and they could not be found. He |
| wrote his next receipt without glasses. but |
declared his belief that the man would |
| need q pair who read it.
