One startling fact in Commissioner

and the comparatively Insignificant
list of pensioners on account of
the Revolutionary war, the war Of
1912, and the Mexican war, the grand
total is 676, 100 Now, it is stated by
General Raum that the total animal
value of the 678, 100 pensions which the
Government was paying on June 30 Of
this year is $50, 247, 200 At the same
time the Bureau reports that its aggre
gate expenditure foT the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1891. was $llS, 548 $50 The
expenditure on pension account there
fore. exceeds the total annual value OF all
the pensions by nearly $50, 000, 600; to be
exact, by $29, sol, 759 This enor-
nous margin of about $50, 600, 90 is
greater by $4,000 600 than the
entire annual pension list in
1875. when there had been ten years
since the close of the var for the pre-

by the Pension Bureau last year in ex-
cess Of the total OF the years pension
list represents. first, arrearages and back
payments, and secondly, the stupendous
cast Of running the machinery which
General Raum boasts will turn out $50, 900

Sometimes we would attemptto move
on, and the severity OF the weather
would force us back into camp. In one
Of these attempts, before we could beat
our way half n mile against the tenn
pest, our guide, Old Bill Williams, was
nearly frozen; he dropped down upon
his mule In stupor and was nearly
senseless when he got into camp. A
number Of men came In with their
noses, ears, faces, fingers and feet
partly frozen, and one or two of the
mules dropped down and froze 10 death

roam about all night, generally on ac-

feet deep for some sign Of vegetation TO
keep them alive. They would fall down
every fifty yards under their packs. and
we would have TO unpack them and lift
them up and that with fingers frozen
and lacerated by the cold. Finally
they began eating the ropes and raw

Apprehensions Of being mobbed by
the 'profane vulgar" amounts, as Ia
well known, almost to mononania with
the poct-laureate. Many good stories
are told In illpstration Of this weakness

will perhaps bear repetition. Lord
Tennyson was taking country walk
with friend, when fellow-creature

means 70 waylay u.s." His companion
persuaded him, however, TO continue on

Though the people generally were

The countenances Of Miss Ruth and q

The pastors sister, too, had another
subject which caused discomfort. tN

home from church, "that Mary Besant
does not look twenty-five years old to-
day-guess it's that bonnet she had
from Dayton does it."
But Grace knew that her friends ra-
diant looks were due to heart full Of
the sunshine Of thankfulness, SO she de-
murely replied:
"Mrs. Besant always looks younger
than her years, but to-day she is partic-
ularly bright and pretty. Perhaps the
contrast of this morning with the day
when last she sat in church with Frank,
may have something to do with her
cheerfulness.'
"Ohi yes, remember when she made

Mr.. JOHN SMITH, the model street
commissioner, is already forced to
put gravel on that part Of High
street that was repaired at the rate
of 50 per foot. Madison street
was repaired by Mr.. Kolkmeyer three
years ago and has not had a load of
gravel put on it since, while the
Craven block that was repaired at
25c per foot is in better repair today
than the g. per foot block. No n
need be surprised at the protest Of
the taxpayer against paying for the
job. They are no doubt willing to
pay what is right, but the price al
lowed by the council was without au-
thority Of law and cannot hold good
before the courts and jury. The
man that pays is allowed his day in
court.
