Eevenue Collector
is Just$1.48 Short
E. W. North, collector of Internal rev
enues, Is short to the extent of $1.48. Mr.
North notified a "corporation" that their
federal tax was due, and that it
amounted to the total - of 114. Im
mediately In answer to his notification
came a check for the necessary amount,
and Mr. North mailed the customary re
ceipt. Later he had tha mlafortuna to
discover, through the bank the check
was on, that the little slip of paper had
nothing behind It, and s Mr. North Is
out Jut that amount.
It seems probable that checks will not
be cordially received In hia office In tha
future, although Mr. North Is a good
loser, and may not go to extremes to
protect himself from such games In tho
future.

entirely unlike any other Waist that's made to sell at this

you'll well understand how far they differ, and how much
better they are than all other Dollar Waists.
