AROUND THE PENSION OFFICE.

Mr.. Philip Metzger, assistant chief OF the
Army and Navy Survivors Division, had rather
peculiar experience recently. His daughter
informed her indulgent father that she would
like to hear a certain opera that was to be sung
at the National Theatre on the following Sat
urday at the matinee. Tickets were procured
and an appointment made for them to meet at
the door of the theatre Mr.. Metzger was on
hand, but the daughter did not materialize.
After his stock of patience had been exhausted,
and the opera was well under way, he saun-
tered in and took his seat. Visions of sickness,
accidents, and a thousand different things ran
through his mind as to the cause for his daugh-
ters failure to keep her appointment. He was
on the point of leaving the theatre when
familiar voice arrested his attention. He looked,
and could hardly believe what his eyes beheld.
There was the lost daughter on the stage TAX
ing one of the prominent parts. His feelings
can be imagined better than described. Miss
MetZger took her part so well that she elected
the highest praise from the manager of the
company and number of complimentary
notices from the press. From the explanation
that followed it was learned that one of the
ladies of the troupe had been taken sick, and
the manager, learning of Miss Metzger's talent
in the operatic line, requested her to act as
substitute. This occurred after her father had
left for the office in the morning, and she, be-
ing so much occupied with her rehearsal, failed
to notify him.
''What is the row?' inquired a SUNDAY HER
AID reporter he entered the Pension Office
court one day last week at 1890 and saw about

was informed that Chicago firm had been
troubled with an enlargement of the heart, and
had taken it upon itself to treat the employees to
free lunch-thatis, if ''bouillon'' can be called
a lunch. The firm that was doing the honors
may have large establishment in Chicago, but
from the meagre preparations they had made
for serving their samples it would appear that
they had faint idea of what they had struck
when they ran into the Pension Office. Many
of the most expert ''elevator crowders' could
not "get into the soup" The second day,
however, was an improvement on the first,

the best dressed men are those who have their

Florin seventy-two carloads of grapes. be-

AS containing information of interest to
all fruit-growers Mr. McNie permits us to
make the following extract from letter
received by him from one of the great fruit
houses of New York city:
"The season having virtually closed, we
find that between September 4th and Octo-
Der sd we received from your association
IL carloads of grapes which sold gross for
SIT 692, or an average of 81, $50; the best
sale brought 81 ,523 and the poorest s., 2O3
for the car, and as we have said above, the
average was 81, $3.50. We think we have
demonstrated that New York is the best
market to receive such grapes as those
packed by the members of your associa-
ton, especially the Tokay, because that is
the grape of all others tancied by our peo-
pie. 1t is an misunderstanding grape and
takes the fancy of our people, who il the
past have been accustomed only to grapes
of a green or black color. OF course YOU
know that enormous quantities of grapes
are produced in this Slate, Concords Ca
awbas and lsabellas, the former decidedly
predominating. This is the large round
black grape, which sells well at low prices,
3 cents to 3 cents per pound. We have
hardly any green colored grapes excepting
