AN exhibition given in a Minnesota
town illustrates in a striking manner
the progress of the horse whip art
among the fair SEX. An angry, neg
lected wife, with a big policeman,
bounced upon a dissolute husband.
The policeman acted as referee, while
the wife pasted her worthless lord with
a cowhide until his head lost its orig
inal shape and color. After awarding
the victory to the wife, the policeman
served Il warrant on the victim, and the
court salivated his wounds with a fine
of fifty dollars and sixty days in Jail.
Divorce will follow. The proceedings
were as unique as they were vigorous,
and demons trate TO what good uses po-
hcemeu can be put by forceful women.

THE business Of the pension office is
increasing SO rapidly that it is impossi-
BILE for the commissioner with the pres
ent force to properly consider the
avalanche OF claims. At the close of
last week nearly half a million claims
were pending. At the rate OF fourteen
thousand a month, the record for No
vember, it would require thirty mouths
to dispose of the business on hand. At
present the claims received and filed
daily equal the number settled. AS a
matter of justice to the veterans of the
war, congress should make provision for
increasing the pension office force SO
that claims can be reached and dispose d
OF within "A reasonable time.

to play the aria, which at first proved TO

Beethoven did not mind IL bit. but eat
down at the instrument, played the aria
with The utmost brilliancy, and when he

nose amid the plaudits and bursts OF
laughter Of the Prince and his friends. f.
