READS HIS own EPITAPH
Mr.. Farr's Strange Status in
Pension Records.
HIS TOMB WAS NUMBEREI
he Turns Out to Bs Very Much Alive and
Enjoys the Pleasure Of Drawing
His Own Pension.
During the latter pnrt of her life Mrs.

During the latter pnrt of her life Mrs.
Susan Farr mourned her son as dead
The records of the Pension Office had it
that he had succumbed to the rigors Of
Libby Prison.
Her sons name was A. Farr and at the
beginning of the rebellion he enlisted in the
Eighth Michigan Cavalry.
A year after his enlistment he was cap
tured by the Confederates and taken TO
Libby Prison.
A few days after November "a. 1868. Mrs.
Farr was overcome with grief upon being
officially informed that her son had died.
Pneumonia, superindueed by the rigors of
the great Southern prison, was ascribed as
the cause of his death.
A few years after the rebellion had been
subdued the War Department published an
official record called the roll of honor"
In this document were given the names
of those who had perished in battle or in
Southern prisons, as also the number OF
their graves.
Farr, according to this document. was
buried in the Richmond cemetery and his
grave was numbered 992
Shortly after hearing of her sons death
Mrs. Farr removed from Michigan with
her daughter.
In the course Of years she gravitated
toward California and recently made her
home in Oakland.
few weeks before her death she was
informed that she was entitled to pen
sion on account of her son, who had per-
iShed in the war.
She placed her claim in the hands Of Shep-
ara " Orton. pension agents, of this city.
Mr.. Orton took the usual methods TO
prosecute the claim before the Pension
0ffice.
A few weeks after he had filed Mrs.
Fairs application he was astonished upon
receiving the information that some one
else had been enjoying the pension since
the time it was allowed.
lie at once surmised that some one was
drawing the allowance fraudulenlly.
He instituted a rigid inquiry, and soon
found that it was Farr himself drawing his
own pension, as he had a perfect right
to do.
When the news that her son was still in
the land Of the living reached this city, Mrs.
Farr was dead.
The veterans sister lives at Piedmont,
and on her behalf Mr.. Orion communicate
with the brother. who lives at the Soldiers
Home in Washington.
Mr.. Orton thinks this is one OF the most
curious cases that ever came under his OBJ
servatiOn.
1T is seldom" he stated, "that a man
can leave his official residence IN the SOL
diers' home and indulge in melancholy over
his official grave"
Farr has already been privileged to read

GOT EVEN With JIMMY.
He Is Unable to Discover Any
Flies on Fido.
4 Foxy Dog Gives His Master a Header and
Incidentally Squares Up an 0.d
GIudge.

Master Jimmy Carroll lives in Berkeley.
he has only reached the advanced age of
ten years, but already he is spoken of
among his select set as a very success
full boy.
And properly enough, for at his time Of
life 1t is not every one that owns both
bicycle and a dog.
"Fido" is tue dogs name and Nancy
Hanks" the BICYCLES.
JimEly's life is a mad whirl Of gayety
between these two possessions. ana he has
honestly tried to divide his time in such a
way that there may be no low Jealousy
between them. To q great extent he has
succeeded.
Though in the main very quiet fellow.
Jimmy has seasons of righteousness in
common with boys the world over.
At such time, not long since. he stole
upon Fido sleeping peacefully in the shade
and tied tin can to his tail.
The dog awoke with a start. "Am |
wrong" he thought, ''or is there really
something fast TO my tail?" He moved
slightly to make sure and the CHATTER Of the
tin struck his ears. In moment he had
cleared the fence. The horror of the thing
possessed him.
Down the street he sped emitting Wild
yelps Of terror. II was good hour before
he found any relief and, when al last he
sGlked home, il was with vows Of revenge,
for he felt he had teen made fool Of be-
fore every dog on the street.
Jimmy Carroll came down the street a
few days later reSplendent on Nancy
Hanks" The sunbeams glanced of from
the freshly polished spokes, and Jimmy
was proud and gay.
He intended riding rapidly by Lucy
Adams, just to show her the superior
beauty of his machine over that old, rusty
thing Of johnnie Ramsays.
He probably wouldn't speak to her as he
passed, either.
Fido saw all this at a glance. He had
been following leisurely along, making great
shift Of showing his master that he could
walk almost as fast as Jimmy could go on
Nancy Hanks"
He saw that the hour of vengeance had
come. Like shot he whipped around the
corner and crOuehed down close to the curb
ing.
He was big Newfoundland, and did not
fear the shock. Around the corner came
Jimmy doing his very prettest.
de even went so far as to whistle few
bars of Comrades" knowing il would lend
his riding 1aunty air of abandon.
He never saw the dog.
The next moment he was picking himself
out Of the gutter with his new trousers
ripped up the back and four Of Nancy
Hanks" spokes broken.
Out came Lucy Adams In great distress
Have you hurt yourself, Jimmy?" she
asked.
''Of course not" returned Jimmy testify
Il did 1t all on purpose. That's my new
fancy dismount."
Then led his bicycle stifiy away-he had
TO, on account OF his tTousers-and he gazed
thoughtfully at the cloud Of dust that con-
cealed the disappearing form of Fid0.

never too busy to drive" she added with a
smile.
Patty, full of excitement, ran home to
tell her mother, forgetting the borrowed
hat.
"Why, Patty Hawkins" cried her mother
angrily, giving her shake, where have
you been with my hat?"
"Pye been to call on Mrs. Msrchmore. Z"
answered Patty eagerly, "and she asked me
TO come again."
"Well, If you amt the most presumptu-
Gus child ever heard of" And Mrs.
Hawkins, forgetting her vexation, burst
into peals Of laughter. ASKED you to come
again. did she? Ia, hs. ha! with that
hat, ha, ha. ha! And those mitts, no. ho,
hoI If you aIn't the very funniest ooking
figure l ever seel You're enough to make

60 into Mysteries, ha, ba, hal"
"She didn't laugh at ALL" cried Patty,
the tears starting to her eyes, "and she's
going to take Patience to ride"
True to her word, Mrs Marchmore called
for Patience the next day. and it seemed
TO her. as she sat by the child's side, that
she looked at the trees the fields and the
river for the first time, for she saw them
through the eyes OF the little invalid whose
pleasure was too deep for words
'Its most like heaven" she said once.

That was tie beginning of many a drive
for Patience, and before the summer was
over she went fer q week to Mrs. March
more's cottage at the lake and Patty was
invited to go with her and help amuse her.
When she had once begun. Mrs. March

A REAL ROMANCE.
Facts About the New Earl of AncAster
and HIS Ancestors.

New York Recorder
The choice Of Ancaster as the title Of his
new earldom by Lord Willoughby de Eresby
recalls one of the r0mances of the British
peerage. Toward the END OF the last CEN
tury there lived in great penury at Mar
seilles an ex-member of Parliament named
Peter Burrell. who had taken up lis resi-
dence there partly for the sake of his health,
but still more on the score Of economy.
1t so happened that Lord Algernon Percy.
second son Of the Duke OF Northumberland,
who was on what was then known as the
grand tour, came that way and happened
by mere chance 10 make the acquaintance
OF Mr.: BurrelL The latter introduced him
to his family, which comprised several very
beautiful daughters, and great was the fam
lily JOY when Lord AlgernOn fell IN love
with and proposed to the second daughter
Notwithstanding the opposition OF his
parents, who were aYeTse to his marrying
the daughter OF a man who possessed neither
money, influence nor birth, Lord AlgernOn
married the girl of his choice ana took her
to live with him in London.
Being a kindly and hospitable man, he
! soon invited her brothers and sisters to visit
| her in London.
Before three years had elapsed one of the
| sisters had become Duchess of Hamilton,
| while another married Lord Algernon's eld-
est DT0ther, ana subsequently, became
| Duchess Of Northum berland.
One of Lady Algernon's brothers, too,
| found favor in the eyes of Lady Elizabeth
| BERTHE, eldest daughter and heiress of the
last Duke of ADcaster. When the latter
| died Lady Elizabeth, who had married
| young Burrel. succeeded not to the duke
dom, which became extinct, but to her
| fathers ancient Darony Of Will0ughby de
| Eresby.
The new Earl OF Ancaster is a very keen
| sportsman. He spends two months Of
every autumn in a fine shooting lodge In
| GleLartney Forest where he and his sons
| are hard at it killing every kind of game
| every day.
Lady Ancaster is very majestic dame
| and in her younger days was very great
| beauty, having inherited much OF the come
| illness FOR which the Gordons are famed.
| She Is a sister of the present Marquis Of
| Huntly and also Of "Teanot" Gordon,
Granny" Gordon and Lady Lnnsdale.
She had been one of the shining lgh 8
and prime movers of the Primrose League,
and her gracious demeanor and hospitality
has done much to advance the prestige and
| interests Of that organization. Her enter
tainments in her big detached house in Bel
grade square, London, are noted for their

There is an active, healthy small boy In
West End avenue who cannot comprehend
what nervousness really is. He knows that
IL is something extremely disagreeable, for
his mother has been nervous as long as he
can remember. His private opinion, ex-
pressed to his father one night, is that
nerves are things brought on earth by evil
spirits for the purpose Of making little boys
miserable. One day he overheard his
mother telling neighbor that her nerves
were completely destroyed. The lad was
oVerloyed. and to celebrate what he con-
sldered to be an emancipation, he went out
In the back yard and romped with his big
dog, with damaging results TO his clothing
as we'll as TO his mothers geranium beds.
Alter the neighbor had gone away he
burst Into his mothers presence with a ve-
locity that almost threw her into spasm,
and before she could utter the usual "Don't
