WAsuINGToE, July 9.-SOme rather
fine distinctions are often drawn in the
matter of customs decisions b. the
treasury department. but Assistant Sec
rotary Crounse broke the record by one
which ne made yesterday. 4 citizen Of
Detroit went over 20 Canada and bought
a pair OF trousers, which he wore home.
Tie customs officers taxed him $3.50
duty on the new pants. He applied to
the treasury department for a rebate,
and in his letter said: Il fancied those
pants and bought them" When he
used the word ''fancied" he gave his
case away. Judge Crounse informed
him that the law admits free of duty
articles Of clothing which are ''neces-
sity." but as the claimant himself adj
mits that he bought the pants because
he 'fancied" them, it stands TO reason
that they were not an article OF neces-
sitv. Therefore ne must pay the duty.

She was very tired after all the society

on Christmas.
The city editor called a message to

storekeeper had undoubtedly the ad-
Yantage of gentility, but it is oues-
tlonable whether, after all, old Heze-
Kan was not the happier OF the

road. He knew the orchard where
the reddest apples grew, the copses
where bubbled out the clearest
springs, the shadowy thickets where
the brown-coated chestnuts ratified
down at the touch OF the earliest
frosts.
In his quaint way he studied Ma
ture, and reloiced in her mysteries.
and cared little that he was outlawed
oy his kith and kin. And those were
not altogether wrong who declared
that he shouted "Ra-a-gs-old ra-a -gs
-bottles and tin. .a-a-warel" all the
louder when he came past the stiff
MAC bushes of the parsonage garden,
and trudged beneath the shadow OF
the country store where his brother
practiced the great principles of sex

old mans only sister, had always sur.

riOus contents Of the basement where
these secondhand goods were packed

tea-kettles and saucepans, and sort
out from the rag-heap all that prom.
