some OF the strange customs Of the
country"

Well. FOR one thing. had not been
ashore more than an hour when a
spruce, offlcial-looking man came up to
me. He showed silver badge of some
sort and said he was collector Of the
Internal revenue. He asked II I had
paid my side-whisker license yet. I told
him I didn't know that side whiskers
were taxed In America. He said they
were and the tax was 81 year. He
added that might consider myself
lucky that he did not add 25 per cent for
costs Of collection, because 1t was my
duty to report at city hall and pay the
tax, without putting the nation to the
expense Of sending collector after the
money"
"You paid him, did your"

yesterday. They had them hip-locked
In the first few innings. but stupid
fielding and poor base running per-
mitted the score to be tied. and the
game was eventually lost by the rank

Ponies simply toyed with Syracuse for
an inning or two and then put on steam

Wilkes-Barre chance to slide into
third place today. provided they win
