ANSWERED THE WRONG IjEXTEIl How a Mistake Maclo by Treasurer Spinner Raised a Country- man's Hopes. United States Treasurer Spinner , when n oilico , used to receive a score of ro- qucsts daily for hia autograph , about the oddest over written. The labor of an swering them became so Irktomo that ho had a form printed us followe : "Your request of ( such a date ) is hereby com piled with. " When a request for his antograph came In ho fllgned the blank "orm. Bnt ono day his "form" got him nto trouble. A tall , raw-boned countryman walked into his office. "Morning , sir , " ho said. "Good-morning , " said Spinner , look ing up. "I came for that place you promlecd mo , " said the countryman , after an awk ward pause. "Place ? " said Spinner , crossly ; "I promised yon no place. " "Yes you did , " Insisted the country man , stoutly ; I've got your promise In your own handwriting. " With that ho hauled out ono of Spin ner's autograph replies : "Your request of such a date , " etc. "But , man alive , " said Spinner , that was in response to a request from yon for my autograph. " "No 'twaan't , " said the man ; I never aiked for no autograph. I want a place ; that's what I wrote for. " Spinner had the man's letter hunted up. Sure enough it was a formal appli cation for a place. "Here , " aaid Spinnei emptying Into hia big hand all the money ho had In his pocket , "Here's some money for you. I can't give you a place : I haven't any to give. " And with thai the countryman had to bo content. Youth's Companion. YOUNQMENI HEAD THIS.

Duties. Boiton Globe , "Smuggling , " said Special Inspoctoi Emery , "la , of course , carried on , more or IOBS , In this port , although not noarlj ai extensively aa formerly. Moat of it now is of a very potty nature ; a lad } smuggles a silk dress or some laces , 01 something of that kind. There is more smuggling done now on the Canadian line than anywhere else. Of 100 offentee committed there , perhaps ninety can be traced to residents of that vicinity on both sides of the line who smuggle foi their own use. The remaining offenses , committed by those who make a butlnest of smuggling , aggregate , very possibly , more than all the others combined. Foi example , I reoently vulted the farm of a man living on tlio American tide , not fai from Houlton , Me. , and learned that within a month ho had had two tons o ! butter in hia barn , all of which had beer smuggled. It had been shipped to market - ket , and I could find no trace of it. Thoj also smuggle a great many potatoes. " "Bat Isn't ' It possible to raise potatoei and make butter as cheaply on this aide aa the other1 "Yea ; but the point is there la a mud better market on this side. On the othoi aide , you aeo , there la only the home market. The duty on potatoes la 15 centi per bushel , and on butter 4 canls pei pound. Then there are a great inanj aheepsklna smuggled. Thero. la a dnt > of about 10 centa per pound on the wool that they bear , the 'slats'or skins not be ing dutiable. There are many othei frauds , such as smuggling shirt * , stock' ings , blankets , brandy , gin , and ram ic barrels of potatoes and catmeal. In trifling cases of that kind we simply con fiscate the goods wo find. The government - ment ia cheated out of a great deal , too , by undervaluation , especially of horaea. ' "What is the duty on thoao ? ' "Twenty per cent. I once wont intc the little tiwn of Patten , Me. , having In formation in regard to only two horses , 1 foand six or eight cises , remained in town just two hours , and carried away 995 , I will toll you how it is dono. You and I jach want a pair of hones. Wo cross the line , and find it pair that suits mo , for which the owner aaka $500. I say : "I can't pay so much as that ; I will pay yon 8300 for them , and my friend will pay you the balance ? So they are billed tome mo for $300. Then wo find a pair for $100 that anils you , You s y you can only pay $250 for them , and that I will pay the bulanoo. So they are billed to iron for $250. Wo then present the bills Lo the custom house , and save , if wo are not caught , $70. Wo aottlo any olflar. once that there may bo on this side of the lino. " "What is the penalty if caught ? " "Tho horses are , legally , the property f the government , and tbo smugglers uo liable to proeooutlou , If , however , a man pays the full value of the horse , and ho full duty , bcsldea what ho hai already paid , wo lot him have the horses and do not prosecute. For example , a man pays $500 for a pilr of horses and enters thorn at $300. If wo find him out , he has to pay us $000 , the cost of horses and duty , tnd having already paid $500 for the licrsos and $00 for duty , the pair cost htm , Including commission for entering , itc. , ia the vicinity of $1,180. "It would sooin hardly worth tnkicg ho chances. " "True. I remember a caio in Frank- In , Mo. I drove up to a man's house ono day just as ho was hitching up a ptlr of horses that had , I know , been entered at loan than what they cost him. 'A ntco pair of horaos , ' I tald. 'Yes'ho replied , 'they're good ones. ' 'You bought them in the provinces , didn't you ? " 'Yes , I did. ' 'What did you p y for them ? ' 'I paid $165 for them. ' 1 then told him that I had raaaon to bollovo ho paid moro than tbat , and wo wont into the house and talked the matter over. I told him if ho bought a surclnglo or a blanket with his horses th.t ho mint enter the oat of it with the cost of the horaca. " "It is a common practice to cheat the government in that way. Perhaps n man says to the owner of a $300 horse : I trill glvo you $150 for your horao and $150 for the surclnglo , ' and in that way gets the horao billed to him for $150 , in the hope of being able to cheat the gov ernment out of $30 duty. Well , tbo man I spoke of finally acknowledged his enilt , and the horses cost him , all told , $565. The coat him originally $250 , and in an attempt to cave about $17 ho loat $285. "Yon atlll occasionally detect attempts at smuggling by foreign steamers ? " "Oh ! yes , I had an amusing case in East Boston some time ago. An English woman , a steerage paescngor , came in on a steamer , and I noticed that she had on an unusually largo bustle. I spoke to our lady searcher about It , and aho took the woman into the searching room and asked her what she had under her drcsa behind. 'Why , that'a ray hiraprover , ' she Bald very indignantly , but It didn't work. The bustle was examined and fonnd to contain twoaty yards of silk I And hero referring to his seizure book is a man caught smuggling cie.-un. Ho waa attempting to run them in for one of the leading importers cf Boston wo fonnd out who it waa but the man wouldn't sqneal , and was fined $50. I trill toll you another interesting case. I noticed , one afternoon , a num ber of very largo puncheons of. rum being taken out of the custom house , and , upon examination and inquiry , found that they had arrived about a week before from Yarmouth , N. S. , had been entered here In bond , and were bolng exported to Tusket , N. S. , about seven miles above Yarmouth. My suspicions were aroused , and I had the rum watched to BOO If it wont out of the country. It wont out that night in a schooner , and I had a man on the watch at Tuskot for a three wcokp , but it never turned up there. The only redress the government had was to sue the bonds men. This was done , and a verdict en tered for $3G89. That was all It amount ed to , for the principal bondsman took the poor debtor's oatb , and the other wasn't worth anything. " , "What became of tha rum ? " "It was pumped out of the schooner into barrels on a smaller scdoonor in St. Mary's Bay , and there wo lost all track of it. Whether it was smuggled back into the provinces or Into some American port , TTO never knew. Wo made quite a seizure a while ago on Capo Cod. An American schooner from tbc West Indies hove to oil' Orleans , and landed thirty- five bottles of bay oil , twelve rases of bay ruin and ten cases of gin. The captain paid a fine of $1,100. " "la much cinug llng carried on through the mall ? " vrns inked an attache of the collector's oflico. ' 'Yes , a good deal. Many articles of a trifling value , addressed to persona of a foreign birth , are allowed to pass through free. As , for example , a cinglo pair of gloves or a pair of stools inga for a servant girl. The following articles are allowed to bo imported through the foreign mai's free of duty : Magazines , periodicals , oto , in pamphlet form , news papers and other similar matter , photo graphs and inutic. Wo find , however , all sorts of things , clgarotto holders , precious 'stones , laces , jewelry , kid gloves , pam'icgi ' , etc. I examine every merchandise package that comes in in the foreign mails , and notify the owners of such as contain anything dutiable.
