TO PREVENT TOBACCO FRAUDS.
Treasury Issues Instructions for Prouer
Classification

Classification.
Washington. Oct. s.-Strict Instructions for
proper classification of tobacco with resulting
oeneht to the revenue were issued to-day by Act
ing secretary Hilles. The action follows advices
that recent examinations of tobacco invoiced as
filler have disclosed a considerable quantity of
wrapper in the shipments
wrapper tobacco is taxed at 81 S. as is filler to-
bacco when mixed or packed with more than -
per cent Of wrapper tobacco. but unstemmed filler
tobacco with less than Is per cent of wrapper is
taxed only 80 cents. Treasury officials have be-
lieved for some time that the government was
not getting ali the duty II should receive on raD-
per tobacco. and seizures will be made in any cases
of fraud.
When an examination of packages ordered into
the appraisers stores shows 1 per cent or more
Of wrapper in each of two bales, examina-
tion will be made of further quantity equal to
the original number of packages designated for
examination. If two bales are found to
contain 1 per cent of wrapper in each
bale. the entire Importation will be examined.

Anything was good enough for a

But not with us.
We hunt around for the brightest
most attractive fabrics to be found
and cut Just few suits of each.
Indeed the average number of bows
suits we make of any one fancy pat.

Distribute those among three stores
and you'll understand why we have
such variety to- show in each store.

GOOD OLD JUMBO
LEO KELToN.
SebastopoI. Age 10 Years.

In 1889 papa brought home a little
puppy months old He was a water
spaniel and bird dog. When we left
San Benito county in 1895 to go to So
noma county we left Jumbo with a
neighbor.
When we went back to San Benito
county in the fall of 1896 we passed the
house of the family we had left him
with. 1t was after dark. We went
about two miles below and camped.
Next morning when we got up there
was Jumbo. He came up to papa, held
up one foot and whined low, as much as
TO say Can ! stay? When papa said
Poor old Jumbo" he jumped all around
and licked all our hands. We were all
glad he came back to us. The next
spring, 1907. we came back to Sonoma
county: Jumbo came too. He died in
1902 from old age. We felt as If some
good, true friend had left us. He was
IA years old when he died and had
learned many tricks. He was good
bird hunter. We have never cared for
another dog until we saw and read
about Alonzo.

One cold night in December the boys

pitilessly, as is usual in the northwest.
We'll, look at this. suddenly eN

poor hungry and wet dog came up TO
the stove Wagging his tail and with
no apparent apology for his presence.
He seemed perfectly at home and after
warming himself and being fed lay on
a roll of old FIRE hose and fell asleep.
From that hour Tramp. for so he was
named, became the mascot of the COM
lpany and performed his self-imposed
duty of running ahead OF the engine a
all alarms with as much fdclity 10
duty as any of the fire lads TO theirs.
He seemed to know IL was his duty TO
warn pedestrians and teams 10 clear
the way. lie died at his post after
two years Of faithful service BY being
crushed between the engine and a
heavy truck. i know this story is
true for my father was a member in
those days of that company.

'Pepita is a small brown and tan dog.
In the morning she will bring in the
mail and when she gets to the store
she visits the butcher shop and gets
a bone.
She will not touch a strange cat
because she loves her, own kitty so.
but she will bark at any if they come
near her.
She has beautiful big eyes and her
ears stand UPRIGHT. When her mistress
talks to her she looks at her so earn
eStly and her ears move with every
word; she almost talks with them.
In the same family there is a parrot.
They are great friends. The dog sticks
her nose through the bars of the cage,
whining and the parrot talking. The
parrot will bite the dogs nose. the dog
will yelp and the parrot viii laugh and
say Poor doggier
When her mistress puts on her out
of door clothes she watches her. her
ears turned down. her eyes so appeal
ing. her tail so depressed. But she
knows her duty: she goes Into the
corner on her cushion.
This is not tale of adventure, but
