In a playful tale from Chicago News children traveling with parents in Europe observe customs officers examining trunks for duty. On returning to America they recreate the scene as a game where a customs officer throws a handkerchief and passengers name objects beginning with the shown letter, turning travel rules into fun.
A game where a man must answer the officer with the word in mind or pay customs or forfeit to be redeemed later. If he delays a reply he pays customs. The amusement comes from speed and the crowd wonders whose baggage will be examined next.
A collection includes The Ass and the Dog moralizing mutual aid with a wolf threat, then toy tricks with a coin and greetings from various cultures. Conundrums joke about props and a playful verse about Bessie the cat and Mitten Kit.
