man, that certGinly not SO per cent of

most generous paraphrasing of the word
ing OF the new Pension bill. One thing
ut any rate may be relied upon, and it Is
this; Thet able bodied soldiers who are
thoroughly well able to earn their living
need not expect peneion from Uncle
Sam; the appropriation can never bo
made TO stretch go far, even under the
elastic figures of The new bill"
'sAnother fact" added the speaker, ''is
this, that the genuine old soldiers who
served throughout ths war and who were
disabled fighting in the ranks, don't look
with favor on this Wholesale demand of
healthy, sble-bodied men asking for
pension and desiring to place themselves
upon the same standing as the crippled
soldiers. There is great deal of Rrum-
bling about this matter aud understand

A swindIer nc WORK .

There is story going around of how
number OF people in Wilmington were
recently neatly viotimized by swindler.
He represented himself as the advance
agent OF circus, aud called on num-
Der OF dealers in meat, provisions and
the other supplies, to order stuff for the
circus. His plan was to approve an order
for given quantity of stuff and instruct
the dealer to deliver a much less quRu.
tity, the margin thus dishonesty obtained
to be divided evenly between him and
dealer. From all who agreed to his
swindling proposition he demauded his
share at the time OF approving the order
and succeeded in getting various amounts
ranging from 80 to $40. The circus he
claimed to represent has not yet turned
up and is not likely TO.
