A Nose Tag.

In the ninth century. when the Danes
we're managing things in Ireland. much
to the disgust Of the natives. they i'm
posed a yearly. tax Of one ounce Of
gold on each Irish householder, the
non-payment of which was to be pun
ished by having the nose slit. Irishmen
have never been noted for their wealth,
and gold is almost as scarce as snakes
in the Emerald Isle. Consequently the
tax was a great burden. and the major
ity Of householders we're unable to pay
It. The delinquent tax list soon became
something formidable, and It seemed as
though Ireland would soon become a
nation OF slit-noses. The people stood
It for 10 years, and then rose in thcir
wrath and massacred many Of their
oppressors. The others took the hint
and the odious law was repealed.
