There's something brewing in tea in
Minneapolis Stored away in the Realty
eompany's bonded warehouse. First ave-
nue. N and First street, are thousands of
pounds Of new crop Japan teas in rows
and rows of quaint looking chests such as
mother uses to store nondescript articles
in the attic. ,.. ....
Not chest of this tea has been touched
since Dec. 20, and not pound of it will
be taken away until Jan. q This is all
on account of the repeal of the war rev.
enue tax which takes effect the first of
the year. When the Spanish war began,
a tax of 10 cents pound was placed on
these dried leaves of the Orient which are
the main thing in the Notwithstanding cup.
The importers knew that the repeal was
coming and that it would require the un-
winding of yards and yards Of red tape
to emancipate this tea. SO through an
arrangement made by the importers
agent, Frank M. Morgan. the importers
agreed to leave the tea untouched in the
warehouse for two weeks to give the
clerical force Of the custom house time to
''reliauidate," or cancel the bonds which
the importers make to assure the govern
ment that they intend at some time to Iay
the duty.
No matter what loud calls for tea may
come from the country, or from the tea
drinkers in Minneapolis, the iron clad
agreement viii stand. Meanwhile the old
tea Is rapidly vanishing and after Jan. l.

new stock will go on the market.

What can be said in New. Year rhymes, !.
That's not been said a thousand times?
The new year, comes, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug The world until 1t stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we WOO, we wed,
We wreathe our brides. we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep. we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of the year.
