THE METER AT WORK.
A Humorist Tells How the Busy Thing |,

Every other day a man comes from
the gas works and after we let him in,
he goes down to the foot OF the base

door in it and takes poker and stirs It
up inside. Sometimes during the ex.

He will explain to it that it 'isn't doing
as we'll as Browns, and that Robinson,
is way ahead of it. Then he will
punch it again with poker, and We
can hear the wheels buzzing around in
it. He says meters are like other folks,
liable to shirk and not tend to bus.

whack, and ask it pointedly il it wants
to bankrupt the company. When he
gets it running with low, study hum,
he will shut the door and take down
some figures in a. blank-book, anu
as he comes up the stairs We
will hear him saying: Three and four
and one are eleven, and five arc
eighteen, and seven is twenty-nine, and
six is forty-one, and four to carry :

ettsily from the main boulevard. The
chapel-crypt contains many relies OF
the age OF blood, which was inaugur-
ated by the great revolution, among
them being the skulls and bones Of the
priests who were massacred in 1872.
These victims were about 200 In num-
death by the marsellies, to whom they
were delivered up by Maillard. In
March, 1898, the garden OF the convent
was turned into an al freSco dancing
place called the "Bal des Tllleuls,h
where the ''Grllles d Egout" and La
Goulues" OF the day distinguished
themselves by their photographic
cochonneries. Later on the convent

GOOD AS GOLD.

The seasons go and come
With all their busy hum.
And l am growing old.
But still I'll ne'er forget
Amidst life's care and fret,
That maid as good as gold.
And oh ! the rides and walkA
The confidential talks
Aud picnlcs manifold.
The songs we used to sing
And all that sort OF thing;
No wonder grew bold.
But how longed to tweak
That other fellows beak,
Who oft her hand would hold,
WI lie she with roguish art
Would scold and play her part;
This maiden bright as gold
Now children two or three,
That prattle at her knee,
- Their little hearts unfold.
But oh the bitter shame,
They do not know my name,
For l, alasl was sold.
OF course tho other chap
Was bound to have the snap,
The truth must now be told
For he d the "bulge" on me,
He had her word, you see,
And that was good rs gold.
And seasons come and go
With never-ceasing flow,
Ana We are growing old.
But stu I'll ne'or forget,
Amidst iife's cares and fret,
That maid as good as gold.

A Firm of Pension Agents Whose Schemes
Have Been Nipped In the Bud.
Special tile Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l0r-The pension
agents who have, during the past six or
eight months. been reaping harvest OFF
the work OF members of the Fifty-frst Con-
gress are being nipped in the bud, as it
We're. AS stated in these dispatches few
days since. it is necessary. in order that n
pension application may be called out of
its order and made special. to aver that the
applicant is either an object of charity or
in critical condition as to health. A few
days ago Deputy and acting Commissioner
Smith received large bundle of the regu-
lation slips from an Indiana man
who is classed as Congressman, but who
is not always making requests that appli-
cations be made special. There were pitt
full appeals in many of the cases, alleging
all sorts of precarious conditions and depths
of poverty. The uniformity of the ap-
peals. and the fact that all were alleged
good reasons for making the cases special.
excited the suspicion of the acting Com
missioner, and inquiry led to the fact that
firm of pension agents was working" the
Congressman for influence. The requests
were all returned with the compliments of
the office. At least two of the Re-
publican Congressman from that State
have had attempts made by this firm to-
work" their influence and secure special
action for their clients applications. No
doubt congressman and Senators In ali
States have thus been imposed upon. The
Indiana Congressman who have the pres
tige of Republicanism, have determined in
view of this aspect of pension affairs, to con-
fine their attention to constituents In their
own districts, whom they can learn of per-
sonally. They will not be the servants of
agents who collect fees from their Con-
gressmen's constituents for work the
should either confide their claims to the
charge of agents or their friends in Con-
gress. 1t is unfair to do as many of them
are doing and they also do their cases vio-
lence.

AGAINST INDISCRIMINATE PENSIONS.
Patriotic Resolutions Adopted by New York
Post of Grand Army Veterans.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The following reso-
lutions were adopted last night by N. l..
Earnham Post, No. ass, G. A. r., of which
Col. c. Mex. Loeser is commander:
Whereas, 1t is apparent to this post that the
action Df some government officials and the ill
considered talk of some popularity seeking legis-
lators (notably Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas) in re-
gard to the pension laws, are calculated TO do
rious injury to the bardly-won reputation of good
soldiers and TO the Grand Army; and,
Whereas The only veterans who are OF right
entitled 10 pensions are those whose pecuniary
circumstances are unfortunate as 10 Justify
port, and who. by wounds or disability incurred in
the service Of the country rs combatants. are
prevented from earning a living in their re-
spective callings, they might have done had
such wounds or disabilities not been incurred;
and.
an association organized for the purpose of en-
abling old soldiers to take care of themselves
and each other; and,
Whereas, AS much real patriotism may be dis
played by refraining. IN time OF peace. from in.
flicting unnecessary burdens on the country as
fore be Ii
Resolved, That any old soldier who applies fol
or accepts pension except under the conditions
above set forth, is, in the opinion or this post
guilty of conduct calculated to injure the good
men who were and are willing to give their blood
and their lives for the country without any
reward beyond the approval OF their own con
sciences, and that honorable fame which is dear
TO every patrict and,
Resolved, That this post strongly condemn:
the Republic for political purposes, or as an EN-
gine 10 aid In dissipating the surplus that has
been accumulated in~the government Treasury
by unwlSe aud unnecessary taxation.
