any nature or description whatsoever. The
pension fees chargeable by attorneys have
for some time been limited by law, and
under the recent act of March 8, 1891, trans.
ferring the jurisdiction OF Indian depreda-
ton cases from the interior department to
the court Of claims, Congress not only linn
tied the fees, but in order to check the ra-
pacitY OF the claim agents, cancelled all ex-
listing contracts and fee agreements be-
tween client and attorney. Congress was
led to take this action on account of facts
brought to their notice that by com Dina-
ton among the leading claim agents, a
range of suits of 331 to so per cent had
eminent claims are still unprotected by
law.
Mr. William r. Hearst, son of the late
Senator Hearst, and the proprietor of the
Examiner, proposes to attend through his
new bureau to all classes of cases before
the departments-pensions patents, depre-
dation claims and Indian claims-for q
small percentage above the actual cost OF
the work.
He has engaged several competent attor-
neys aud the necessary clerical force OF 6
large bureau, and they will soon be al
work. He has placed at the head of the
bureau Mr.. John Wedderburn, of Washing
ton, who has long been the correspondent
OF the Examiner, and had remarkable eX
! perience a few years ago in ferreting ou
for Secretary Tracy some gigantic contrac
frauds at Mare Island navy yard. The new
bureau, being established by responsible
newspaper, has already received the cordia
endorsement of many western members o
Congress, and is getting a big pile of mai

usAh LITTLE JOHNNY.
The sssry of Little Boy Who Love
His Mother.

The Ssary of Little Boy Who Loved
His Mother.
Johnny Green was the son of poor
widow whose husband went out to feed the
hogs one evening, and never returned to
the bosom of his dear family. 1t was sup
posed by some that he was abducted and
held for ransom, and by others that he was
devoured by COW, but whichever way it
was his wife was left with mighty small
farm and a mighty big mortgage drawing
10 per cent, and she couldn't waste any time
tying back her dresses or frizzing her hair.
Had it not been for little Johnny she
would have given up in despair. He cut
all the wood, brought water from the
spring, labored in the garden, and when
she sometimes broke down under her bur
den of grief he stood before her and man
fully said:
Don't let her get the start of you, dear
mother. Shut your teeth and hang on. 1t
will all come right, and you'll ride around
in your own top buggy yet"
And then she was consoled and comfort
ed. And she patted him on the head and
said how glad she was that he had been
| spared to her One day little Johnny found
| his mother weeping as If her heart would
! break, and when he demanded the cause she
confessed that 5000 interest was due on the
mortgage that very day, while she had only
seventeen cents and lottery ticket in the
| house. Old Stonehart, who held the mort
! gage, would no doubt be there before night
/ to say:
Gimme them interest or skipl What,
no sugar. Then consider yourself skup-
pedr'
Mother, do not worry" pleaded the boy,
"It will redden the end of your nose to cry.
and besides, old Stoneheart cannot disturb
, us. There's hen on"
"My child, you speak queerly. What is
it? Do not keep me in suspenseP
There is the mortgage, mother, and
here is the discharge of it in due form from
the county clerk"
"Am L awake or dreaming? Child child!
What means thisl'' she cried.
"Only a little surprise, dear mother.
Last June Elder Davidson offered me a
cent for every ten later bugs I'd kill on his
vines, and during my spare hours, when
you thought was telling frogs and play
ing marbles, killed seventeen billion bugs
and got my cash on the nail. Tomorrow
we go over to the Red Clay farm, which
now own, and there will be four loads oil
new furniture on hand before noon. There
comes my carriage and driver now, and il
you will put on these diamonds and lock
up about five bushels of gold in the pantry
We'll take little whirl around the school
house to show off"

HE KNEW HOW.

But When He Tried It On It Didn't
Work.
It was not kind thing to do, but he
was young newspaper reporter, and
was, whether justly or unjustly, regard
ed as ''fresh." His city editor sent him
up to meeting, and he started out a
little too eagerly, for he got the address
wrong. He was not so familiar with
New York as reporters generally are,
and by the time he got the address
Strengthened out and found the correct
one the meeting was over and he looked
only upon closed doors.
On the elevated train he met three
other reporters going down to their
offices, and he told them his dilemma.
ooh, it's lucky you got on this train"
said one brother news gatherer. 1.-THE
very man you want to see is on this
train. There he sits down there in the
cross seattle old man with the UNI
brella and the gray beard"
"And he's peculiar old chap said a
second man. "You have to know how
to treat him. He's the president of the
society, you know"
"You want to be diplomatic" put in
the third conspirator. "You've got to
let him see that you know him. You
want to come up behind him, clap him
on the back-a good, rousing whack,
you lsnow-and say, Hello, Jenkins, old
boy, how did the little shindy come off
tonight? Then he'll think he knows
you and will tell you the whole story"
"Be sure you crack him on the back,
was repeated.
ooh, trust me, said the young report
er, with confident smile. Down the
aisle he went, and reaching the ''presi-
dent" he gave him terrific thump on
the back. For one second there was an
awful calm. Then jenkins, old boy
raised his umbrella and started for the
offender. It was chase for the door,
the young man yelling out his apologies,
the old man frantically brandishing his
umbrella and making violent whacks al
the head of his assailant. The younger
man reached the door in advance, how
ever, and darting through it slammed il
in the old mans face. AS the wrathfu
old gentleman was returning to his seat

out consciences were letting out howl

ing on the situation, said he had asserted
from the first that the boycott was the best
thing that could have happened for the
Alton. Thousands of people to whose
American ideas the word boycott is re-
pugnant, will sacrifice their convenience,
if need be, to give the Alton business, and
certainly ticket agents outside the forbid
den territory will do all in their power to
help the Alton. If the fight is kept up
long, it is likely to result in bitter rate
war. The Alton is bound to protect its
business, and may not long be able to do it
without slashing rates.
