Payment of Pension Arrears.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Sena-
tors and members of Congress and
persons of all grades of official life
are receiving quantities of letters of
inquiry as to when the payment of
arrears of pension was to commence.
Applications have been coming in
with great rapidity since the bill
passed, and clerks have been at
work examining them. Some are
all ready for payment, and each day
sees the approval of more. In an
swer to an inquiry to-day Commits
sioner Bentley said he hoped to be-
gin paying claims under the arrears
bill about the 10th Of April, and
continue to pay them from that date
on as fast as they were examined
and approved. These claims will
be paid by check on the Treasurer
of the United States, payable to
the order of the pensioner himself,
and will be sent to the postofice ad-
dress of the pensioner by mail. No
attorney or claim agent will be rec
ognized in the matter. No applica-
ton under the bill will be received
through claim agent, and the pen
sioner receiving the money is pro-
hibited by the expressed provision
of the law from paving any norton
of it to an attorney or claim agent.
Pensioners in all parts are being i'm
posed upon by claim agents, who
represent that the services of an ex-
perienced attorney is necessary to
obtain this money. All that is
necessary is to send to the Pension
Office or the nearest pension agent
for blanks, and after filling them
out return them to the Commissions
er of Pensions at Washington.

Those Awful Cows.
Detroit Free Press.

There probably isn't woman IL
North America who isn't afraid Of
COWS, and there is not cow IL
North America which would harm
one hair of any woman's head if II
had the best chance in the world
and no other job on hand.
Wednesday forenoon a stray COW,
perhaps from the country for a
taste of baled hay, found gate
open and entered a yard on Second
street. The woman came to the
front door, dressed to go out, but
seeing the COW she uttered a scream
and hurried back. There wasn't a
thing in the yard for the COW to
damage or eat, and being tired she
raised her cud, lay down and began
to chew away as if she had got
home from long visit to Europe.
The woman next appeared at side
window and called upon the COW to
git out" A dog might have
"got," but the cow didn't. Then
the woman threw rag at the cow
and called for the dog. The dog
didn't come and the rag didn't
scare. Then the woman shook
pillow at the cow, and peremptorily
ordered her off the premises, but
the bovine half closed her eyes and
let her thoughts run ahead to fly
time.
AS the COW wouldn't go, and as
the woman couldn't 60 till the cow
did, sterner measures were resorted
to. A tin pan was held out of the
window and beaten with a spoon,
but that cow couldn't be fooled into
believing that Fourth of July had
come. Then the woman went into
the back yard to throw clubs over
the fence and knock a couple of
horns off. The first one hit the
window, and the next one banged
the blinds on the next house, and
the cows horns stuck tighter than
ever. Cries of "git out y were
again resorted to without effect, and
then the woman watched at the
front door till she saw the boy come
along, and she opened it and cried
out:
"Oh boy! there's a terrible COW
in our yard! Prop the gate open
and get all the boys and police you
can and drive her out, and I'll give
you whole quarter of dollar
Hurry up, for she looks as if she
was getting ready to come right in
here -
The boy "humped'' the dangerous
animal out in thirty seconds, re-
ceived his pay, and the woman
gave up going down town for fear
she might have "nervous SPELL"
