Now there suddenly entered the head
OF this business man q scheme. He
would have some fun with his wife.
Alas! how many others have thought
the same, and realized afterwards what
q gFuesOme ideallty a woman has Of
what Is called fun. He was full OF his
Joke all day, and two or three times he
relaxed his business cares and went
into corner and laughed softly, and
on three or four other stated occasions
went out around the corner and took q
smile. He could hardly contain hlH-
self until he reached home that even
Ing. Here is the way the Joke took. He
had thrown away the envelope, and
placed the letter In the outside pocket
OF his coat, ind had 80 arranged It that
when he pulled out his handkerchief the
letter would follow and fall to the floor,
Well, Il did. There was no chance blow
about Il. It was a clean Knockout. HIS
system worked beautifully.
He affected not TO notice the misslve,
but as he had cruelty calculated his
wife did. She picked II up and COM
menced reading II. He watched her
furtiVely until she was about to turn
the page that would give his Joke awRy,
then he made n grab as though he had
luhL ulBCOVeEGu lllb lubss L4hNlub ASu4
down to the point where the writer said
'all my affections are given to-" the
wife was naturally in state Of mind,
and the fact that her husband sought to
regain ttle letter added tons Of fuel to
the furnace Of jealousy. After goadinE
her almost to desperation, the husband
relaxed his grasp on the mlssiVe and
permitted his wife to peruse Il TO the
end. She read the letter again and
then cast on her husband one Of those
penetrating gIances that outclaSs the
most InQuisItiYe x ray. and with a
"Well, sir" awaited the seemingly gull
" mans answer. She couldn't see
through the cigar drummers Joke.
Matters wer0 growing warm. In spite
Of his plausible explanations she would
not hear to them, and under her con-
slant fire OF fearful reproaches he began
TO think It was rather poor, weak
Joke after all. II took him over two
hours to restore his domestic felicity to
It's usual calm, coming out Of the ordeal
in a profuse Precipitation. A woman
can understand why q man has O. START
led and panied expression on his face
when ne sits down on bent pin. All
other Jokes to her must be labeled with
the vintage blown in the bottle. And
there Is one man In town who will never
Joke with his wife again. except to buy
her new seal skin next Christmas,

Notwithstanding the general bad char

Providence Or. H. Journal Republioan).
il cannot be denied that its enactment
at this time is likely to nave some bene-
fetal influence on trade, and that II Is
something to have doubt and uncertainty
removed. "The country" continues the
Journal. "has done business under all
sorts Of tariffs in the past has even pros
pered under those that were farthest

The United States Government IN at
tempting TO make the Dngley tarih re-
troactive to the extent OF sixteen hours'
is purposing a steal Of money from the
importers. "The legal fiction" relied
upon is simply fraud. In this instance
it is a device by which it is proposed
that Uncle Sam shall run his hands
into the pockets Of certain importers ana
grab and carry off all that he can.
But we are glad TO hear that this un-
lust and outrageous ruling Of the Urea
sury Department is to be fought in the
courts. and it is TO be hoped that the
Supreme Court Judges. whose feelings
were so outraged by the income-tax
law, will be able to see that this scheme
is a hundred to one more indefensible
than that.
Ex-United States Appraiser Bum, who
has been retained as counsel by the i'm
porters, IS quoted as saying:
Il am strongly convinced that, al
though the general principle may be az
nrmed that the law takes no notice OF
parts Of a DAY, the new ldliIl law N'A
not become operative until after the
business day Of Saturday. The bill
reads: ON and after the passage OF this
act, unless otherwise specially provided
for in this act, there shall be levied col
lected, and paid upon all articles i'm
ported from foreign countries etc.
This bill did not become n law until
about four minutes after 4 o'clock last
Saturday. at which time the official day
OF the New York CustOm-House had
closed. Ordinarily. the Custom-House at
this port closes at / o'clock p. NJ. on
Saturdays. If there was a belief in the
minds Of the Treasury authorities at
Washington that the new law was re-
troactive why were special orders is
sued that the Custom-House here should
be kept open until o'clock last Satur-
day? That order was a special provision
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury.
II feel satisfied that the courts Will
hold that this statute could not be made
for one day. any more than
ii could have been made retroactive to
the date originally fixed by the House,
but which was stricken out by the
Senate Committee, acting in accordance
with public sentiment relative thereto.
This action of the Senate Committee
certainly indicates the intent Of the law
makers"
