How to Obtain Pension
Arrears.

Mr.. J. Bentley, commissioner of
pensions, has issued circular letter
designed to protect soldiers and benz
efciaries of the new pension law,
from the needless etactions of claim
agents. The commissioner states ir
distinct terms that persons who arr
entitled to arrears of pension under,
the act of January Is, 1879, and
whose pensions have been granted
previous to that date, will not require
the assistance of any attorney or
agent in obtaining the amount due
them and he gives the best possible
practical effort to the Suggestion by,
declaring that "all correspondence
in relation to any claim for such az
reara will be with ths person entitled,i
and no claim agent will be recognized
in such claim" With such deters
mination ON the part of the pension
officials to protect the pensioners, they,
should feel no hesitation in rejecting
all advances of attorneys, agents or
spectators to plunder them Ola psr-
ton of their money. f2j"are. 95j
Evey pensioner who is entitled to
arrears of pension under the recent
act of Congress, should at once address
letter to the commissioners OF PEN
sions, signed by the pensioner who
was in receipt of the last pension paid,
attestsd by two Witnesses as to the
identity of the claimant, and ee-tih-
cate should not be sent to Washing.

BOYS and young men sometimes
start out in life with the idea that
ones success depends on sharpness
and chicansry. They imagine that
if a man is able always to get the
best of a bargain" no matter by what
deceit and meanness he carries his
point, that his prosperity is assured.
This is great mistake. Enduring
prosperity cannot be founded on cum
ming and dishonesty. The tricky
and deceitful man is sure to fall
victim, sooner or later, to the infu.
onces which are forever working
against him. His house is built up.
on the sand, and it's foundation is
sure to give way. Young people can.
not give these truths too much weight.
The future Of that young man is safe
who esohews every phase of double
dealing, and lays the foundation of
his career in the enduring principles
Of everlasting truth.

A Sick Senator.

The excessive corpulenoy Of q cer-
tain United States Senator has long
been the butt of editorial wit and
spicy bon mots from the pens of Wash
ington correspondents. Few persons
have suspected that his obesity was
a disease, and liable to prove fatal.
Yet this is the sad fact. Excessive
fatness is not only disease in itself,
but one liable to generate other and
more serious ones. Chemistry has at
last revealed safe, sure, and reliable
cure for this abnormal condition of the
system in Allan's Anti-Fat. Distin-
guishsd chemists have pronounced it
not only harmless but very beneficial
to the system, while remedying the
diseased condition. Sold by drug
gists.

the minimum rate OF S,UUU IONS to the
acre, we have 116, 100000 tons of
workable coal in the fourteen-foot
vein alone, to gay nothing now Of the
lower veins.
Where is the great bulk of this un-
worked coal located? We answer
in the Immediate vicinity Of Frost
burg, Any person who is conversant
with this coal field will voUch for the
correctness Of this answer. Those who
are net we respectfully refer to Prof.
Hodges report.
In addition to the above facts it is
considered thst there is more work
able coal in the six-foot vein alone,
to say nothing of the other lower
veins, than there is now, or ever has
heen, in the fourteen-foot vein. While
we do not pretend to- infer that the
six-foot, or any other lower vein, can
be worked successfully as q competitor,
owing to the great reputation of the
fourteen foot vein, having, as it were,
no equal as a soft coal, we do say,
without the fear ofcontradiction, that
it will lie a successful and profitable
successor to the fourteen-foot vein. 1t
is admitted, we believe, by all who
are familiar with our lower veins of
coal, that some of them at least are
fully equal, if not superior, to any
soft coal row being worked outside of
this coal field. Accepting this state
ment as correct, we ask where does
the decay of Frostburg and the ex-
laustion Of our coal field come i'll
We answer that it is a question that
belongs to future generations, certain
ly not this.
Frostburg and cur coal trade are
as yet but in their infancy. Anyone
who will take the trouble to examine
our coal trade from 1912 to the Pres
ent time, and then make a careful
examination of our coal field, will,
we are satisfied, agree with us that
| Frostburg and the Cumb erland coal
trade ace rs yet in their incipiency,
and th#t decay belon gs to a future era
We would not have referred to this
subject at this time had It not been
that the correspondence alluded tc
made Its first appearance IN distant
journal, and might, have the effect o
unsettling values in the minds Of those
who are not familiar with our Goa
field. We feel it to be our duty also
in common with all others N the re-
gion, to use every effort consisten
with Justice to protect the property
aud the value of the securities basec
thereon, of those who have invested
their millions with US, and who arr
annually spending here their million
in the further development Of thei
property, and the prosecution of thei
business.
Permit us to state in this connec
tion that we are not connected in an.
manner with any coal company in thi
region, nor are we the recipients o
their bounty or fayors. We are act
uated alone by a desire to promot
the coal interests, together with tn
general interests of our coal field.

RAILROAD REDUCTION Wholesale
Reduction Of Passenger Rates on the
Baltimore and Ohio Ra5hoad.-Or-
ders were issued Saturday for gen
eral reduction Of local passenger fares
On the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
to take effect Monday. The reduc-
tions vary from ten to twenty per
cent, and some of them will make a
very perceptible difference in the
travelling expenses of persons who
make frequent trips between local
stations. A uniform rate of three
cents per mile between all stations on
the main line and branches (excepting
the PittsburG division, on which no
7l'na. 50 l2e- 1-a1o) has been es-
tablished, and anyone can ascertain
the rate of fare between two stations
by multiplying the distance in miles
by three cent?.
The new and old rates from Cum
borl;nd to prominent points east and
west are shown by the following table ;

Advice TO Married People.

Marry in your own religion.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Let kiss be the prelude Of re.
buke.
Never allow request to be repeat
ed.
Let self-abnegation be the habit Of
both.
Il forgot" is never an acceptable
excuse.
A good wife is the greatest of earth
ly blessings,
If you must criticise, let it be done
lovingly.
Make marriage a matter of moral
judgement.
Marry in family which you have
long known.
Never make remark at the OK.
pense CT another.
Never talk at oLs another either at
home or in company.
Neglect the whole world beside,
rather than one another.
Give your warmest sympathies for
each others trials.
If one is angry, let the other part
the lips only tor kiss.
Never speak loud to one another
unless the house is on fire.
Let each strive to yield the often
est to the wishes of the other.
Marry into different blood and tenn
perament from your own.
Always leave home with loving
words, for they may be the last.
Never deceive, for the heart once
misled can never trust wholly again
Never find fault unless perfectly
certain fault has been committed.
It is the mother who moulds the
character and fixes the destiny of the
child.
Do not herald the sacrifices you
make to each others taste, habit, o.
preferences.
A hesitating or grim yielding tt
the wishes OF the other always CRATE
upon a loving heart.
Consult one another in all tha
comes within the experience, observa
ton or sphere Of the other.
Those who marry for physical char
actsristice or external consideration
will fail of happiness.
Never reflect on past action, whic.
was lone with good motive an
with the best judgement at the time
Those who marry for traits of min
and heart will seldom fail of perenia
springs Of domestic enjoyment.

The Farm boys Song.

The sun had kissed the meadow grass,
Aad slipped the sparkling dew,
Aud daisies raised their dainty leads
To catch the rays he threw.
Far of were fields of waving corn;
The meadows lay between;
And could hear fsrm-boys song,
Though nowhere to be seen.
he sang in tones SO blithe aud gay
Ipaused to catch each word;
AID ev'ry note came clear and sweet
As caroled by bird:
Oh, the winds did not blow,
Though the leaves murmured low,
On q glorious Summer-morning;
And the sun rose bright
Ger the mountains height,
Een the lewliest adorning.
And the loveliest maid
In the highland or glade,
With her basket and pail, came tripping
By the singing brook,
Who the hill for ook,
And from springs in the vale was sipplng'
From the wayside and bush
Rose the lark and the thrush,
Far away in the blue clouds soaring;
And the maiden stopped,
And the blossoms cropped,
While the sweetest of songs outpouring.
You are anxious to hear
What said in her ear,
While tear in her bright eye sparkled;
What she answered me,
Meath the hawthorne-tree,
While the brook only laughed and darkled
But you never may know
What she whispered so low,
With the sweet blossoms hanging over;
You may ask the brook,
Who the hill forsook,
And was kissing the grass and clover.
