The first big scandal in the PEN
sion Department under Tanner is
disclosed in the testimony that Tan
ner's confidential clerk, one squires,
was framing out information aud
special advantages to one firm OF
Pension agents. It appears that
every applicant who put their bu-
siness in the hands of squires'
friends would have their claim
marked special and rushed through
at once, while other agents found
themselves hampered in every way,
and unable to get their business
attended to. 1t is presumed that
Squires and the sharks divided the
fees. When Tanner was made
aware of Squires' method of con-
Quoting the business of the pension
Office he did not discharge him in
disgrace and turn him over to the
authorities for punishment, as he
should have done, but he was APP
pointed timber agent in the West
and sent on his way with fat
salary attached to him.

A liberal application of mixture
of equal portions of air-sIalsed lime
and wood ashes will often cause the
ground to produce grass when other
methods have failed. 1t is difficult
to secure a stand of grass under
trees, as the trees take all the nour-
isbment of the soil from the grass.
Lime and ashes will prove beneficial
to shade trees also, and as such fer
tilizers are cheap they should be
used more extensively.

Mistakes in cultivation are made
in not doing the work at the proper
time. which increases the labor, and
causes the work to be repeated
sooner than is necessary. The best
time to use the cuitiyator for the
purpose of destroying grass is when
the heat of the sun is high. If done
before rain occurs some of the
grass will take root and make new
growth. Very young grass may be
cleaned out after rain, but where
the growth is heavy the work can
be made more effective if done in
dry weather.

BANK PRESIDENT
From the Ne,o York Eveni,,g Sun.
"And SO, after all my long years of serv-
ice, you would cast me out upon the mercies
of a cold world to earn my bread as best
may"
The speaker was an old, old man. His
three-score years and ten had DO we'd his
oncs tall and commanding figure. had
frosted his locks and had scanned his face
with many line and wrinkle. AS he raised
his thin white hand to his forehead and
ran his fingers through his scanty hair, taey
trembled as though he had the palsy.
He was standing beside the desk Of the
millionaire bank president, Richard Cou-
pom, Esq, and it was to him that he ad-
dressed his remarks.
"If you must earn your bread Robert"
said the banker, in a cold, harsh tone, lit is
your own fault. You should have laid by
sufficient to have kept you in your old are.
You have discharged your duties faithfully,
it is true, but you have been paid to do So"

with impOtent rage GAY, you ere right; [

words.
"Well, he said, "if you have saved moth
ing tits so much the worse for you. feel
that [ must have Younger man in your
place. On Saturday, therefore, you will
give up your keys and leave my employ
ment. That is all have to say now"
Robert Certify, the aged cashier, turned
and left the bankers private office. At the
threshold, however, he paused for a moment,
and looking back at MS cruel employer said
in low, S nuther5d tones:

The Hal hap was spoken in whisper.
and might not have been spoken at all had
not Robert Certify known that real Villains

Certify had become a villain.

Such was the startling news which burst
like one of Sergt. Dunn's electric showers

been closed. Thousands of depositors were
peuniless.
Richard Coupon was ruined man.
Three days after the failure of the bank.
and while ii was still almost the sole topic
OF conversation in the great city, meeting
OF the directors and the principal creditors
OF the bank was held in Richard Coupons
private office. The receiver and several ex-
pert accountants were ere.
Richard Coupon sat at the head Of a long
table with his face buried in his hands.
Ever and anon his form shook convusively.
The receiver had risen to make his state

ability, and was just about to begin when
