Reminder From a Deserted Wife.
TFrom the Esston Argus. |


The other day German peddler OF
notions, living in Salisbury, Lehigh
County, finding his business dull, re-
quested his wife to pack his clothes pre-
paratory to leaving for another part of
the country to seek better living. He
promised to return to his wife and child
as soon as he had secured job. The
woman obeyed, and, after passing over
a large d-bundle, the farewells were
said and the husband trudged forth on
his journey. Near Allentown he was
surprised to hear a child cry and kick
in his bundle. He opened the package,
and sure enough sthere lay his own
child The man returned to bis home,
and is there now, determined to strug-
gle the best he can. His wife feared he
Intended to desert her, and because of
this packed the child, which was sleep
ing at the time, among his effects, so as
to give him gentle reminder of her
inability to do more than care for her
self.

Bill Nye in Denver Opinion
| saw William G.. LeDuc the other
day at Hastings, MINI. He used to be
at the head OF the Agricultural Depart
ment, and used to offer him sugges-
tions about raising iced tea by grating
an old-fashioned teapot on some hardy
variety of refrigerator. Mr.. LeDuc
claimed to be ignorant of my glowing
career l pitied him, and asked him
where he'd been all summer. l said,
William, you are not so well informed
as | had been led to suppose. | knew
that you had almost foundered your
teeming brain trying to devise means
by which you could inbred the milk
weed with a common Irish potato in
such a way as to produce peeled po-
tato with milk gravy on it, but didn't
think you had been in public life so
long without knowing one who has
done so much to bring the literature of
the present day up to a lofty standard
and rescue it from the hungry nav of
oblivion. You may know how to lower
the record of the shirt-stud, or at what
season we should shear the hydraulic
ram, but I'd advise you before you go
any farther with your agricultural ex
periments, to read up on the eminent
men of the age in which you live.

Greely's Sledging Parties.

Lieut.. GRERLY's explorations were under.
taken under far more favorable circum-
stances than those Of his predecessors In
Smith Sound. II LOCKWOOD had met the Ice
conditions that the Polaris party and BEAU
MONT OF NAREs's expedition had to face, his
sledge journey north would have been i'm
possible. In May, 1881, DR.. Hayes north
ward progress was stopped at Lady Frank
lin Bay by floating loo. In tho spring Of 1879
Robson Channel was filed with the moving
pack, and the Polaris expedition could get
north neither by boats nor sledges. In May,
1870 BEAUMONT found great blocks of polar
ioe pressed against the Greenland shore,
making sledge hauling 30 difficult that he
advanced only twenty miles In seven days,
and he returned to Discovery Harbor over
moving Ice foes. But LOCKWOOD, In 1882,
found the ice firm and comparatively smooth,
and he hauled his sIedges about It's miles
further than BEAUMONT did In several weeks
less time.
The GRKELY party also had the advantage
OF the best equipment yet devised for Arctic
travel. Before Capt MARES took his two
ships north In 1875. tho British Admiralty
spent months In planning Ito equipment

The New Pension Fee Law.

At the last session Of Congress law was
enacted allowing an increase OF the existing
$40 fee for prosecuting q pension or land
bounty claim. This concession was made at
the instance OF the agents; and now some Of
thcm having obtained an inch, try to make
1t an ell.
The new law does not abrogate the old fee.
The legal fee, except by special agreement,
Is still $40; but this sum may henceiorth be
increased to point not exceeding $25 by q
contract Of the attorney and tho applicant.
provided 1t Is submitted to the Commissioner
Of Pensions and approved by him. The new
fraud devised by some INSCRIPTIONS agents
consists In sending out notices representing
this maximum fee OF $25 to be regularly
authorized by law. concealing, therefore, the
fact that 1t is matter Of voluntary agree
ment, designed to cover cases involving q
more than ordinary amount Of trouble.
When the Pension ONCE Is conducted as 1t
should he, there Is no need OF tho Intervention
OF an agent to present q case. A claim sent
to the bureau takes It's turn like the rest, and
the official response to an applicant tells him
exactly what lie lacking IN his papers. Not
only are blanks for the original application
and for each subsequent step given to the
petitioner. but oil necessary instructions are
furnished to him for filing the blanks; and
there Is even provided free book containing
the pension laws and all the forms, and NIL
mute directions both as to how the papers In
any required case must DO drawn, and ex-
actly what evidence must be submitted.
Commissioner DUDLEY. who seems to have
q monomania for loading the nation with
fresh pension debt. and fights even his old
supporters, tho claim agents, when they In
any way obstruct that work. has taken the
alarm, apparently, lest the higher fees now
exacted should decrease the number of new
applicants for pensions Hence he has forced
the agents to use an official blank Of fee con-
tract, which separates the fee proper from
postage and other expenses, In q separate
Item. and also notifies the applicant that the
maximum Of $25 is voluntary and not COM
pulsory-a copy Of the statute itself being
printed In the book. This may prove q
oheckmate on the agents.

Emerson In Fifteen Parts.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON was great man,

Most men are 80 constituted by nature a.
to enjoy praise. not to say fsttery; but the
expression Of admiration may be carried 30
far as to be unpleasant to the person upon
whom 1t IL bestowed. II EMERSON was tho
man we suppose him to have been, he would
have found this worship Of the Concord
School utterly dlstasteful. It Is even less
profitable than the work Of the Browning So

time in discovering q significance in the

We advise her. however. not to write until
she is sure she has got something to say,
and can say It better than 1t has been said.
For the present, however. she has probably
enough to do In finding out what the great
minds and artists Of English literature have
