Questions Answered.

f.. s., R1CHMOND.-If you will write
to congressman, giving him the num-
Der OF your claim and company and
regiment in which you served, he can
ascertain the condition of your claim.
The pension Office answers injuries
from congressman more promptly than
formerly.
O. H., BARRETT you have no at
torney and wish your claim placed on
the completed files of the pension office,
cut out the form of application printed
last week in the WATCHMAN, fill it out
and paste it upon a paper eight and
one-half inches long and four inches
wide and forward it to the commits
sioner of pensions. II it is not accepted
as sufficient, the commissioner will
probably give you information that will
set you right. The secretary of the in
terror recently called for list of claim
ants not represented by attorneys with
the view of organizing a division to
keep them on the same standing as
those represented by attorneys. 1t is
said that before the list of names of
claimants reached the secretary, a
Washington attorney had the list and
sent power of attorney to each claim
ant and secured most of the cases. We
have heard nothing of that division
since. Secretary Noble does not under
stand pension matters so well as the at
torneys and he often appears at disad-
vantage by his wise" rulings, and
the attorneys crack smiles that provoke
him, and to punish them he asked
congress to amend the law so as to not
allow attorneys over 81 for prosecuting
increase pension claims. The house of
representatives passed bill fixing an
attorneys fee at 50. The senate COM
miltee amended it and raised the fee
to SIS. The bill has not yet passed. Com
missioner Raum speaks of this cutting
down the attorneys fee as the govern
ment giving pensions with one hand
and taking them back with the other.
If the present practice prevails requir-
ing from six months to three years to
adjudicate an increase claim, an attor-
ney will pay out his fee in postage in
writing" dunning letters " to the com
missioner. 1t is not the soldier, how
ever, that complains of the fees, but
the pension Office that is brought to
book for its unjust dealing with the
pension claims.

CHAPTER ii.

THE MESSENGER OF ST. NEPoMUK.
Good Saint, John Nepomuk, tell
Frederika and me how to be useful to
our parents" the little boy began
saying, when his sister had gotten up.
Now our prayer is finished,
brother"
And our end accomplished" said
Wolfgang, getting up too. :" 1t came to
me while we were praying"
Saint John Nepomuk has whispered
it in your carp"
g. do not know if it is the saint or
the good God, but / have the very idea.

/ could also say, if mamma had not so
often told me to be modest, that / do
not compose badly. Frederick, you
have not my talent for the piano, but
for your age you do not do badly"
edo look at this lovely"
"Do not interrupt me, my good Fred
erika, for / will lose my idea, and |
have already forgotten-well we are
right good'looking, especially you, sis
ter, for you are beautiful. Some lovely
morning we can leave home, hand in
hand, as we are now, and we can GO
far away, very far, until we wander to
some old castle where we can enter
You can sing, then they will come and
exclaim: %, what lovely children
Those people who live in the castle will
say that. They will make us come iu
and offer us rest, but l will 60 to the
piano."

Wanted IL Done FashiOnably.

" Inasmuch as the animal you stole
was only colt" remarked the leader
of the regulators, ave have decided to
give you forty-nine lashes with horse
whip instead of hanging you. But we
shall lay them on WELL" 81 have only
one favor to ask, gentlemen" said the
prisoner, pale, but unhinching. " What
is it?" "Gentlemen," he replied, "
have not always been a criminal and
an outcast. l have moved in good So
ciety and / know the customs that pre-
vail among our best people. l will
take it as favor, gentlemen, if you
will lay the lashes on as far as possible
in regular checks and diagonals. Per-
pendicular stripes are not worn this
season."

A Peculiar Case.

" A man out West who was drawing
SIS per month on a pension has re-
turned his certificate, saying that the
injury for which it was given him has
healed. He is able to support himself,
and feels that he would be defrauding
the government by accepting any more
of the money. This case should be in
vestigated. Probably the healing up
of his wounds has caused the trouble
to strike to his brain. But after all
there is a chance that it is merely
case of simple honesty, and if so the
man deserves a monument to COM
memorate the act. Free Press. The
real reason, no doubt, why this man
out West returned his pension was its
size. He wanted S24 instead of So 3
month.

"Now what else do you want2 speak
do not fear"
" A coat for papa, who has not been
able to give his lessons for several days
because his old one is 80 worn"
d" Well?"
"Well, beautiful dress for mamma:
one that will look pretty on her."
" Is that all2"
Enough, brother" said Frederick,
with the delicate instincts of a child
well born.
"Let me alone, sister, am going to
ask for something for you"
81 don't want anything for myself.
You take advantage of the Monseur's
goodness"
Although l am touched by the deli
cacy of your sister," said the stranger,
" L authorize you, in the name of the
your wants"
"Well, that which | wish is a great
palace, with servants for my mother, so
as not to fatigue her in doing house
work, That is all, believe"
you have asked nothing for your
SELF
Monsieur! OH 1t is needless. Give
papa everything he wants and 1 don't
care for anything for myself"
Charming and admirable child
Goodbye for the present"
In saying these words the stranger
departed. He disappeared so suddenly
behind the trees that the children re-
NAMED quite surprised
"Well, what do you think, Wolfgang?
Do you think he will send us dinner?''
asked Frederika, taking the road up tC
the house.
"Who would doubt it2" said Wolf.
gang, in tone of double assurance.
As for me, l think the gentleman is
making fun of u.s."
"Well, we will see," replied little
Mozart.

THE New DIsCovERY.-You have
heard your friends and neighbors talk
ing about it. You may yourself be one
of the many who know from personal
experience just how good thing it is.
If you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunch friends, because the won
derful thing about it is, that when once
given trial, DR.. Kings New Dscov-
cry ever after holds a place in the

CHAPTER III.
THE PROMISES OF THE GRAND JOHN
NEPOMUK'S MESSENGER,

THE PROMISES OF THE GRAND JOHN
NEPOMUK'S MESSENGER.
AS soon as the children had arrived
home woman, still young and neatly
dressed, said to them in sadness:
What neither of you have touched
your bread.'
eve were not hungry" hastily re-
piled Frederika.
"What has made you lose your appe-
tite?"
"Just think, mamma; suppose you
had seen the messenger of the great
Saint Nepomuk-as sister and l saw
this morning-whose history papa has
often related"
Tell us all about it, Master Wolf
gang" said new person, whose face
was full of goodness.
The two children saluted him with
the name of "good little papa"
Just imagine, good little papa, a
great handsome man. continued Wolf
gang, in fine, "a lovely figure with the
air of king"
And whom have you seen that was
the messenger of the great Nepomuk?"
asked the master of the chapel.
he lOlu me he was.
"And what proofs did he give?"
what proofsl That's what you are
going to see. He is going to send you
coat; dress for mamma; something
for sister, and good dinner for US
ALL"
M. Mozart could not help laughing
at the enthusiasm of his son.
And you believe all this, my dear
child?"
"The friend of Saint John Nepomuk
told it to me, good little papa"
He was making sport of you"
Making sport of me, papa! Why?
Oh, no, had you seen him you would
not talk so. He has such good face.
What will you say when, in place of
this poor little house, we will have a
palace? Since / know this, our SOM
ber-looking abode displeases me no
longer"
In saying these last words, the little
Mozart threw around him look of dis
dain. The room which he was in
served sometimes as a kitchen and
sometimes as a dining-room. On one
side was large and high chimney
with sauce pans hanging from the in
terror of the hearth; on the other side
was piano, above which was violin,
hanging on the wall. In the middle of
the room black table, and all around
some faded chairs.
''Oh, we will have such palace "
said M. Mozart, with goodness.
Yes, papa, a palace filled with serv-
ants to serve as. Well, what are you
doing now?" asked the child of Madame
Mozart, who was arranging the things
for dinner.
You see, while we are waiting for
the Wallets, III prepare dinner"
Dinner! dinner! when l keep tell
ing you they are going to bring it all
cooked Do you hear, mamma? all
cooked"
The father and mother began to
laugh, when they heard knock at the
door.
