The Way We Help Uncle Sam.

times it Is fixed sum for a certain
quantity, Who ever owns the goods
pays tax.
Merchants and manufacturers who
bring into the country thousands OF
dollars worth of materials to sell again
have to pay large sums as taxes. So
that they will get this money back
they add the duty to the price of the
goods when they are sold to the re-
taller. The retailer sells the goods to
u.s.. charging enough to pay the costs
and a profit. In this way everybody
who buys tea. coffee, silks. spices and
many other things that have been I'M
ported. pays into the governments
pocket book or Treasury. Another way
in which the government obtains money
each year is by what is called internal
revenue. Manufacturers who make
cigars and certain other unnecessary
things pay millions of dollars taxes. Those
who buy these articles help to pay the
tax. Every one who buys a POSTAGE
stamp pays a tax. AS Uncle Sam does
not intend to make profit by the sales
Of these stamps, postage is SO cheap
that the money paid for the stamps does
not even pay for the cost of carrying the
mails In our country taxes are so slight
that they are paid almost without know
ing it. but in some countries the people
are made wretchedly poor. because they
are forced to pay heavy taxes for al
most everything they have.

During four or six months of each year
Peter went to the little district school
two miles from his home. The school was
taught by young man who did not both
er himself about the general department
of his pupils. They could learn '.finery"
ct home, he said. And the boys who had
mothers did learn ''finery" at home, which
meant to remove their hats or caps on
entering house: to talk quietly and to
laugh moderately: to ask few questions
and To avoid being rude or bold toward
others: to use knife and fork properly and
many other ways to follow certain rules
of etiquette.
And Peter Anderson, having none of
this training. soon became known as
plain Pete. Both in manner and ap-
pearance Peter was most unprepossessing.
And often his comrades at school made
Jests at his expense.
