Large Amount for Special \Var Tax.
New York, Dec. 2.——The first money
to be paid to the government by the
express companies has begun to come
into Collector of Internal Revenue
Treat’s office. This is in payment for
taxes on express receipts issued for
money to be carried in packages, the
express comp..nies having neglected at
first to have such receipts stamped bo—v
cause money packages were not dis—
tinctly mentioned in the law.
During the period from July 1 to Au-
gust 25, inclusive, the stamps were not
affixed and then the commissioner of
internal revenue ruled that, express
packages'of money were taxable as
"goods.”
The express companies have to pay
the tax on all packages carried during
that time.
The American Tobacco Company and
a number of brokerage houses having
branches also paid their taxes.
The result was that 'Wednesday’s re-
ceipts were the largest on record, be-
ing $98,737.68.

When Mark Twain Felt Embarrassed.

looked up with an assumed air of great
timidity and said: “Mr. President, I—I
feel a little bit embarrased. Do you?”
The President could not help smiling.
and Mark took advantage of the
chance the incident presented to give
place to others.
Ten years later, when statesman
and humorist met again, Gen. Grant.

‘ I A Rare Relic for the Professor.
A certain professor in the Chicago
University is an enthusiastic anti~
quarian. He loves to communicate
his tastes in this direction to others.
and always encourages the members
of his history class to collect curios
of historic interest. ‘
During- the spring quarter one of
the seniors in the class stood in im-
minent danger of “flunking.” Heroic
measures were necessary in order to
pass, but he was equal to the oc-
casion.
One day, after class, he approached
the professor with a curious fabric
made of woven rings in his hand.
“Professor.” he said. “I have herea
valuable relic of the Indian wars. It
is a piece of chain armor worn by
General Doarborn in the memorable
siege of Fort Dearborn. It was used
by the general to protect himself
against the arrows of his Indian foes.
My grandfather dug it up years ago
on the site of the old fort. I Wish you
would accept it as a present and place
it in the museum.”
The professor was overcome with
delight, and placed the curio in the
college museum, and saw that the
donor got a good mark in his final ex-
amination.
Later the professor learned that the
"chain armor” was in reality nothing
more than that useful domestic uten~

man Palace Car company, and are con-
ceded to be the finest specimen of car

lor and dining ‘cars. In addition to
above a general change of time in the
