was to be placed an apple. After
having prepared the room the young
man was to be admitted into the
room and remain three minutes, then
the old man was to enter the room
and make the decision in this way:
If the young man became interested
in the Bible, he would have him pre-
pared for the ministry; if he began
to amuse himself by driving nails, he
would make a good carpenter, and he
would have him trained in mechan-
ism; and should the apple be first to
catch his eye, that his attention
would be turned to agriculture and
he would make a successful farmer.
The room was fixed in perfect readi-
ness and the son admitted, the old
man remaining on the outside; at
the expiration of three minutes the
old gentleman entered the room and
was very much surprised to sec his
son sitting on the Bible with the
Ratchet and nails in his lap, and was
eating the apple. The young man
became a Union Labor politician.

THE PENSION FRAUD.

The abuses of the pension system
are illustrated by the manner for
which 1l5 one-hundred-day men
from Ohio have been re-instated on
the rolls. Their scheme to get a
pension was carefully organized, and
they succeeded in getting one some
time ago. From evidence furnished
him. Gen. Black ordered these claims
held up, pending an investigation,
which was still peuding when Corpo-
raj Tanner came into office. AS the
result of the investigation they were
finally dropped, but now they have
managed by some kind of influence
to get back on the rolls again. They
are to draw pensions for the rest OF
their lives for one hundred days
play in Washington, in which they
never fired shot, and never saw
rebel, and in which not one OF them
was even sick. BY fraud and deceit
they got on the rolls originally. Then
they were hung up and rejected, and
now here they are again in some mys-
terious manner grabbing from the
Treasury to pay them for their hun
dred day picnic. They are patriots
for revenue only. 1t is just such out
RACES as this which have brought
scandal on the pension business. Ii
the rolls were investigated and
cleaned up under fair construction
of the law, fully one-fourth the names
would be taken off as having no le-
gal right there. Il Chicago Tribune
(Rep.).
The above strong argument as to
the fraud and humbuggery of the
pension business, from one OF the
most radical Republican papers,
needs little comment. The New York
Herald, the largest Independent Re
publican paper in the country, says
from one third to one half the pen
sions being paid, are fraudulent.
1t is not only certainly time to call
a halt in the pension business, but
vigorous investigation should be made
and all fraudulent pensions eliminated
from the list. One hundred and thirty
million dollars per year, for pensions.
is too much of the thing, even if it
might be termed "a good thing"

We held our school meeting Satur-

The closing exercises of the school
was a success, and did much credit

Tribute of Respect.

In memory of Clyde, the infant
daughter of NJ. V. and A. I. Osborn.
Died March 81, 1891, of pneumonia
and measles; age year, IL months
and Is days.
Again has the golden chain been
severed and another bright link has
been taken; again have the hearts
of fond parents been broken over the
loss of their precious girl.
Death comes alike to both young
and old, therefore we should submit
to Him who knows best and dOeth
all things we'll. We cannot under
stand why God takes our children
from us so early in life. When we
look upon them with hope Of long
and happy life, He comes and calls
them to his arms and takes them to
his rest. May God give the parents
his abundant grace on earth and an
abundant entrance to their home in
Heaven, where little Clyde is waiting
and watching for them. May He
help them to train the rest of the
children for heaven and immortal
glory, and may YOU all at last make
one unbroken family in the kingdom
of God. LIZZIE HAYES.

fession to learn his son. But after
much hard thinking he finally de-
cided upon a plan of determining
what occupation would suit the young
man. The following was the plan
decided upon: The old man was to
take everything out of his parlor
room except a table, which was to
be placed in the center of the room.
On this table Bible was to be

table next to the wall was to be
placed Ratchet and some sails, and

Have an Eye to Your Eyes.

How few think of the value of
good eyes, till they begin TO fail:
How many have failing eyes and
don't know it, or if they know it.,
are ashamed to make it known? OF
those who wear spectacles, how few
have them to fit, or suit their eyes
And how few know that an imperfect
fit Injuries the eye? We have for
several years made speciality of the
eye, its study and treatment, and
for twelve months have made a
speciality of testing and fitting fine
glasses by the aid of the Johnston
Dioptric Eye Meters. We guaran-
tee a fit, and perfect satisfaction, and
when this is done, with good pebbles,
the eve not only ceases to fail, or as
is said, "go from YOU" but the
sight generally improves. To all
who wish to know if their glasses fit
their eyes, and to those who have
never worn glasses, and want to
know whether they need or would be
benefited by the use of glasses, we
offer a free examination. Specta-
