One Of the most perplex-

that the answer is only AMI

Pity that bookselling suffers
more from haggling than
c o m m on merchandising,
more than marketing, more
than anything but low grade
trading Swapping horses
and bookselling. Strange
that the terms OF both should
be reached by the same ap-

for books that the haggling
bookseller is held in honor
in spite of the disrepute into

E deservedly fallen.

MRS. THoMAs,s PENSION.
Thirty Dollars a Month, While Others Receive
Two Thousand Year.

Thirty Dollars a Month, While Others Receive
Two Thousand Year.
Washington Special.
When Senator Miller, of California introduced
a BILL the other day, to increase the pension be-
ing paid to the widow of General George II.
Thomas from thirty dollars month to two
thousand dollars a year there was much surprise.
1t was general impression that Mrs. Thomas
was in receipt of larger pension. There are
many widows OF bureau generals and small-fry
warriors who have political friends who are re-
ceiving pensions much in excess of that paid to
Mrs. Thomas. Admiral Farraguts widow re-
ceives two thousand per annum, the widows of
Presidents Polk Tyler and Garfield each receive
five thousand dollars per annum. After the war
General Thomas was offered house and purse
of $40, 600 secured by private subscription among
citizens who wished in this manner to testify
their appreciation of his services. General
Thomas declined these gifts, saying that his sal
airy provided for his wants at the moment and
when he got old he could live on his retired pay.
General Thomas died very suddenly, and his
widow has lived all these years in straitened
circumstances. The state of her private means
was suspected and then quietly and delicately
ascertained by some of her friends and the bill
was introduced without her knowledge or re-
quest. Senator Miller was warm and intimate
personal friend of General Thomas, and his effort
will be a labor of love-

and paid the Major off. telling him that he would
give him till Wednesday to leave. This seemed
to raise the ire of Mrs. S.. and she quickly gave
her husband to understand that she would go
with the discharged man. Mr.. S. knelt in prayer
and prayed long and fervently that such
thoughts should not be entertained by his wife;
but his prayers would not soften or change her
heart, for she was ''stu, <" on the Major, and
with him she would go or die. Mr.. S. gave her
all her belongings and the baby, a beautiful boy
two years old; he helped her in the sleigh, tucked
the wraps close around her, and with tears al
most streaming from his eyes, kissed her and
the child goodbye, telling her thas he hoped and

Correction of Sensational Statements Con-
corning the French on the Isthmus.
PANAMA, Jan. A.-The Star and Herald says,
relative to the report printed abroad. that the
French republic is endeavoring to obtain pre-
dominance on the isthmus, and that in pursu-
ance of this idea the canal workmen have been
divided into divisions in such manner that
corps a. armee IS 900 strong can be massed at
any moment, that the untruthfulness of this
statement is apparent to every resident, although
its origin may not be equally so. The truth simply
is that in order to facilitate the work the line of
the canal has been cut up into engineering divis
ions, which are again subdivided into sections
