HERE is fine-drawn customs distinc-

canada and bought pair of trousers,
which he wore home. The customs Off
GERS taxed him $3.50 duty on the new
pants. He applied to the treasury de-
partment for a rebate, and in his letter
SAID; Il fancied those pants and bought
them" When he used the word sfan-
cled' he gave his case away. Judge
Crounse informed him that the Mckln-
ley law admits free of duty articles Of
clothing which are necessity, " but
as the claimant himself admits that he
bought the pants because he ''fancied'
them it stands to reason that they were
not an article of necessity. Therefore
ne must pay the duty.

REPORTS come from all sections of the
south concerning the progress of popu-
lar education. The attendance in all
the colleges and other institutions of

was never SO good as to-day, and the
Improvement is nowhere more marked
