DECLINES TO ANSWER.
A Pension Office Clerk Refuses to Testify
to Facts.

WASHINGTON, April lib. w. Fien-
niken, private secretary to the late Sen
ator Plumb of Kansas, testified before
the pension Office investigating commit
tee today that he had never received
compensation, directly or indirectly,
Tor any information relating to the
status of pension claims. Samuel II.
Horsey had said, he believed, Mr.. Flen.
niken sometimes sold the information
he secured by means of congressional
slips.
George w. Wayson, formerly assist
ant chief Of the SPECIAL examining divi-
sion Of the pension bureau, said nc lad
never obtained or solicited any money
for anything he had done in the office.
But when asked questions rs to whether
or not he had borrowed money from a
number OF his subordinates who were
named, he declined IN each case to an
swer the questions. declaring that the
matter was private, and III no way af-
fectcd his othciai acts.
Mr.. Enloe asked II witness ha | not
taken the deposition Of an examine
named Wilson, showing that the latte
had borrowed money from y none,
lender on a pension certificate, con.
trary to law. lie answered this Ques-
ton afiirmative!y, but denied aDso-
lutely that after taking the deposition
he kept it in his desk for Six months
and until it was taken from him IN or
der to prevent Latuorettes prost cution.
He said that he turned the atfidavi,
over to the chief OF the division.
Witness still refusing to answer the
questions bearing on financial transac-
tions, the committee decided TO report
to the house resolution requesting
the commiss oner of pensions TO dis
charge him from the pension Office.
Harvey c. Ellis testified that at one
time he loaned Wayson $40, but ne re-
spectfully declined to state whether he
had endorsed any notes for Wayson
on the ground that it was his private
business. The witness still persisting
in refusing 10 answer the questions, the
committee decided 10 report to the
house . resolution, requesting the
commissioner of pensions TO discharge
him from Off ce, as was done in the
case of the previous witness.

Why Young Men are Afraid.

In New York city, where the stand
ard of salaries is as high perhaps as in
any American city, writes Edward w.
Box in the April L0ddes' Home Jour-
nal, it was recently shown that OF the
young men in good commercial posi-
lions seventy per cent. earned $4,000
per year; and only eight per cent. ex-
ceeded $500 per year. Upon these in
comes all the home comforts of married
life are possible, but only by good
management. Girls with frivolous
ideas of life make failures of such
homes, but the earnest girl can make
happy herself. her husband and her
children. Into these homes our girls
are daily going as wives, and it is ap-
parent that young men must be care
full in their choice. The young men
whom our young women meet in the
incest homes of our largest cities, are
those who are earning the incomes re-
ferred to above. Large revenues are
few, and if by desirable" marriage
is only meant the alliance to young
men of dazzling salaries, just about
one girl in every thousand will make
desirable match. Facts such as
these must be taken into consideration
by the girl of to-day, and when they
are, it will be more clearly understood
why young men are apt be frightened
from, rather than attracted to, the girl
whose chief idea of popularity is to be
smart in her chat and careless" in
her manner.

The strength of republican govern
ment is in the honest instincts OF the
people, and it is impossible to convince
an honest voter that it is his duty to
support man for Office whom he be-
lieves to be dishonest or incompetent.
The trickster may for a time deceive
his constituency, but the man who
deals fairly, sincerely, and courageous
Iy with public questions will always in
the end command popular respect and
confidence He may be often mistaken
as to his duty, and sometimes called
upon to oppose heresies which have
many adherents, but the people by in
tuition will at last reject the dema-
gogue and cling to one whom they be-
iieve to be candid and courageous.
1t is also worthy of remark that no
platform can embrace all the questions
which may arise in the rapid develop
ment of great country but fairly be-
ginning its career as a nation, and the
people are justified in believing that
the best guaranty of safety to the ship
of state is having at the helm a brave
and honest pilot.-Se1aator Vest, IN

Worn and Wan and Weak and Weary.

Ho! We women, worn and weary,
with wan faces and so indescribably
weak Those distressing, dragging
down pains, and that constant weak
ness and wornness and WEAKNESS can
be cured. For all such sufferers, DR..
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription is a
panacea of inestimable value. AS an
invigorating tonic, it imparts strength
to the whole system. For ''over-
worked ''worn--out,n debilitated
teachers, dressmakers, seamstresses,
''shop-girls," housekeepers, nursing
mothers, and feeble women generally,
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the greatest earthly boon, being un-
equaled as an appetizing cordial and
restorative tonic. AS soothing and
strengthening nervine, "Favorite Pre-
scription is unequaled and invaluable
in allaying and subduing nervous ex-
citability, exhaustion, prostration,
hysteric, spasms and other distressing,
nervous symptoms, commonly at
tendant upon functional and organic

and relieves mental anxiety and de-

Washing ami Dressing a Baby.

In small houses, while the family is

used as nurseries, writes Mrs. William
Ewart Gladstone in the Nav Ladies'

practically taught. The simple pre-
cautions thus learned are not always

Woman dramatically Considered.

The following are some of the gener-
al rules for considering woman gram
matically:
As a noun she is in the objective
case.
AS pronoun she stands for herself
As verb, imperative mood, present
tense, when she desires you to serve
her. but subjunctivc mood and future
tense when you ask her to marry you.
As an adjective she is in the superla-
tive degree.
As conjunction she is a failure, for
her sentences are not connected.
AS an acknowledgement
cannot say she is an adverb, for she
does not modify anything.
AS an. article indefinite, but worth
the world to any man.
love her in any mood or case, espe-
cially the indicative mood and possess
