Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
Ryan had queer caller the other day.
He was middle-aged man and carried
heavy valise. He said The valise con-
tanned tobacco, which he was anxious to
sell, 50 he could give the money to his
family. He was afraid he might be
breaking the law and asked Mr.. Ryan

where he got the tobacco, and the man

knew that my family had no money and
that they were sufferin', so Il just
thought of a plan to help them out when

Wet is allowed tobacco at regular times.
# I do say it myself-and it has caused

There were tears in the mans eyes
when he had concluded his. story, and
there was a suspicious moisture about
the. deputy's eyes,

said the deputy, ''you will have to give
a bond with acceptable surety for So, 900.

The mans head dropped and he
looked sick at heart. That would mean
the failure of his merciful enterprise.

said Mr.. Ryan, "but tell you, my man,
don't think that the government
would get after you if you would dis
