One day, in my school of little ones,
we had been having conversation les
son about things we could sit in or on.
We had almost exhausted the list of oh.
jects, but, as had one in my mind that
had not been named, / said, II can
think of something else we can sit in:
can any one else?" One little maid
raised her hand, and on my saying:
Eyes, Alice?" meekly suiting the action
to the words, said, innocently: 1--WE
can sit in position. Compan

day soldier, and to another account
of his second enlistment for a longer
period.
The total strength of the union
armies at each of the various stages
of the war is also known. 1t reached
the highest point in the spring of 1865,
just before disbandment, when there
were nominally more than 1000. 900
men in the service. The effective
strength of the armies however, was
nearly a quarter of million less.
1t is simply ridiculous for the pen
sion commissioner to put forward
such figures as those which he uses to
cover and excuse still further political
enterprises in the way of governmental
bounty.
What is definitely and exactly
known, on the authority of Gen.
Raum himself, is that now, twenty
six years after the close of the war
and thirty years after its beginning, the
bureau is granting pension claims at
the rate of $780, year-as many
new pensioners in single year as there

PUTTING THE "SCREwS" ON.
The Role Assumed by Harrison in His
Struggle for denomination.
When Secretary of the Treasury Eos
ter forced a vacancy in the New York
relationship to give Mr.. Harrison a
chance for amnesty from Boss Platt
the republican farce began to develop
its motif, as the theatrica, critics say
In his struggle for denomination Mr..
Harrison is playing what he thinks a
leading role, but the republican bosses
are having great sport with him. He
was high and mighty enough with them
after his first accession to power. He
kept his dignity in Indiana kid gloves
in dealing with them. The capital I :.
his self-sufficiency was very large in
deed Now they are taking the
starch OUT of him. One by one they
are bringing him to terms. The en-
thusiastic Blaine resolutions adopted
in republican meetings in Pennsyl-
vania and elsewhere are not nearly as
spontaneous as they seem. 1t is true
that among republicans Blaine is re-
garded as very great man and Har-
rison as very small one, but the Blaine
boom" is being worked to bring Mr.
Harrison to a realizing sense of the
fact that self-sufficiency and kid
gloved arrogance, however natural in
man of the intellectual stature of
five feet two, are out of place in
person who is hustling for a renomi-
nation. Mr.. Harrison may know
well enough that he has such a
''cinch' on Mr.. Blaine that the latter
cannot possibly go into the the conven-
ton as a candidate against him. But
sharpened as his political faculties are
by his own ambitions he cannot fail to
realize that it will be all over with his
chances if the opposition to him holds
together on Blaine long enough to
deliver its strength to some other can
didate. In organizing a Harrison ma
chine of office-holders to force his re-
nomination, he has lost sight of the in
terests of powerful republicans who
are now preparing to teach him that
there are other interests in politics to
serve besides his own. They are Civ
ing him a lesson in reciprocity. AL
though he is the grandson of one Har-
risOn and the great-grandson of an
other, they are getting ready to show
him that his

Mrs. Thaxter's salon. Mrs. Thaxter
had asked us to come whenever we
chose: so, outwardly calm, we went.
In front of the cottage is profusion OF
most brilliant and gorgeous peoples
and marigolds. The vine-covered
porch leads into little hall, and then
we passed into the salon. Mrs. Thaxs
ter rose to receive us so kindly and
cordially that I wondered how 1 ever
could have thought her severe. She
introduced us to DR.. Mason, who soon
went to the piano at one side of the
room. A lot of other people, artists,
musicians and aspiring writers, were
there. / thought what an inspiration

the room.
DIR. Mason began to play; the ladies
stopped talking and resumed their
needlework; Mrs. Thaxter herself
was crocheting silk purse. First he
