1t is quite astonishing the number Of well
meaning people who come up to Washington
in search Of a pension. They seem to think
that all they have to do is to make personal
application at the bureau and the money will
be handed out to them at once There is q
general impression that nearly everybody Is
getting pension; that the pot Is boiling,
and now is the time to dip in. A few days
ago forlorn looking man walked into the
pension bureau. He had walked 800 miles
from near Wheeling, w. Va. He had but
one shoe, was psnniless and hungry and sim
ple-as any man must be who would do such
foolish thing. He could not legally prove
that he was entitled to pension, and Of course
could not get ona In fact, be could not
prove anything, and in q sort 'pf 4 half dazed
condition he started to walk hack. Some Of
the clerks In the bureau passed around the hat
aud raised "a for him, that he might not
starve on the road,
Washington IL a bad place for poor man
without friends. The proper way for all
seeking pensions Is to put their claim into
the hands of an agent They rim no risk in
doing this, since the law protects them as
regards fees. IT is just as foolish for the
well to do Vermont farmer to make jour
ney to Washington, hoping to get pen
sion, as it was for the tramp from West
Virginia. Pensions are only granted after
certain facts have been legally proved.
And the place to do that is at home. Fuller

A little over twenty-one years ago
Albert Watson's grandmother, down
east, mixed into a yellow spotted mass
-four and sugar and milk and citron and
currants and raisins and eggs and spices,
and baked tho mass In hot oven and
placed it outside the window to cool.
The cake was laid away quietly then.
Three months later it was laid away with
great ostentation, as the birthday cake
of Albert Watson, who was born that
day. Last week piece Of that same
cake, moist and appetizing, unnibbled by
the snaggle tooth of time, was received
by Albert Watson's aunt, in this town.
The cake was cut up at the celebration
of Albert's 21st birthday in Boston, and
it stands AZ monument to the ability Of
the New England women to cook good,
solid, palatable, scrumptious, old fash
ioned cake that will be nice to eat and
pleasant to look at when the new tangled
compositions of the French chef have
crumbled and decayed and passed away
from the memory of man. The cake is
twenty-one years old, Albert has beard,
and the good old housewife who prepared
the hardy sweet Is long since dead

THE GROVER FAMILY
Brought Back to the Augusta Poor House.
Indications that the Selectmen Of Bel.
mont Have Found in them
Source of Profit.

City Marshal Morse arrived in the city
yesterday with Mrs. Grover and five children
of the somewhat famous Grover family, who
recently took hasty departure from then
quarters in the poor house where they had
been placed by the overseers in order t,
avoid the heavy bills which were being passe,.
in upon them by the selectmen of Belmont.

and where they own small house an.

Marshal Mors. found the family settled

Mrs. Grover expressed some indignation
| At the parade she claimed had i.eei made OF
her poverty and claimed the city vas actin
IN most reprehensibe manner in removing
| her from her own home, where sh
claimed she was able 10 live with
out assistance from the town. Marsha
Morse had orders, however, to bring III,
| family back to Augusta and he did so. The,

1t seems peculiar that this family should

| father is hard working man and together
| with his son has constant employment i
| Rockport distance of fifteen miles from
Belmont. The united earnings of himself
and son amount to twenty-five dollars week
which, it would seem should be sufficient t,
support any family in comfortable shape
The residence in Belmont appears to have
been a very poor investment financially, a,
| the expense of travelling back and fortl
to it from their work. il
Rockport has taken mp considerable,
amount of the earnings of husband and son
1t is very evident that the proper place for
| the family to reside is in Rockport. The
family has at its home in Belmont a YER,
good horse, good COW and two pigs. Mrs,
Grover informed the Marshal that they cut
hay enough on their own land to winter the
COW.
Two of the selectmen of the town of Bel
| mont are merchants and hence they are not
at all 10th to supply the family with any
thing they desire at the expense of the cit,
Of. Augusta. Indeed everything seems to
show that they have not only furnished the
| family with the necessities of life, but have
urged upon them many articles which, under
the circumstances, would rank as luxuries
Indeed these merchants seemed to see in the
family a soft snap" and were disposed t,
work it for all it was worth, at the ex
pense of the city of Augusta
whether the city ought not to have refused t,
pay these bills, or at least sought some re-
| dress at law for this imposition is certainly 3
question. At any rate all will commend the
course of the officials in bringing the family
to the poor house in this city instead of per
| hitting them TO remain at large, a bill OF
| expense to our tax payers and a source of
profit to the store keeping selectmen of Bel
| mont.
