A New Dodge.

In the corridor of the police station, sand
WICKED in amongst the barrels aud kegs of
beer which the police have brought in from
time to time, are number Of -four and sugar
barrels. They are innocent enough at first
sight and would seem to indicate that the
police have also declared war on those two
staples. as we'll as on beer. A closer inspec-
tion, or removal Of the barrel-head, how
ever, shows that 1t is the same old enemy in
a new dress. Within the innocent white bar
rel snugly reposes beer barrel, revenue
stamp, spigot and all. The new device
shows how hard pushed the dealers In con-
traband stuff and those who transport II
have become for security, and what Ingenuity
they display in Disgusting it.

for writing or for work with the pencil, It is
only too easy for the teacher to play upon
that string until It becomes uncommonly
