WHY NE LEFT DEER PARK SUD.

The French minister, NJ. Paten-
otre, recently paid Deer Park
flying visit, but two unfortunate
contretcInpts doubtless contributed
to make his stay there very brief

he got up early for a bath in the
swimming pool, and by mistake got
into the one set apart for Women

where he was found by an acqain-

skirt. The next day ut breakfast

everybody attention to what
might have otherwise passed unno-

Here is . hint to some Of our
girls to get even with their parents
for opposing their love-making
A girl in Martinsburg recently
found lot Of love lctters written
by her father to her mother before
they we're married. The daughter
read them 70 her mother, pretend
ing they were Of recent date and
substituted her own name for that
Of her mothers, and the name Of a
young man, we'll known TO both Of
them, for her fathers The moth
ef was very much disgustod pnd has
forbidden her daughter to have
anything to do with young man
that writes such nonsense and sick

RAuM WAS TOO LIBERAL.


Mr.. Bussoy Called Raum's Atten.
ton TO the Matter Before the
Harrison Administration Closed.
and Forthwith There Was
Tightening OF the Lines Erro.
neously Granted Pensions Ec.
Examined.
a point which Is entirely ignored
by Republicans who are now max.
ing an outory over the suspension
OF doubtful pensioners by Commits
sioncr l.ochrcn is that the late Ro4
publican administration itself three
months before quitting Office nc.
knowlcdgcd that it had made an
ogregious error in constroing tho
pension law Of 1890.
This acknowledgment was con.
tanned in letter addressed by Gen.
Bnssey, then Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, to Pension Commis.
sioner Raum. In his letter Busscy
told Raum he had construed the
law of 1890 altogether too broadly,
and immediately Raum changed his
practice and from that time on un-
I'll he left the pension Office Raum
was less liberal in his rating OF PEN
sions under the 1890 law. But
before this change came 400, ,o00
pensions had been granted under
the erroneous construction OF the
law.
The ruling which Secretary Smith
made some weeks ago was simply
rcitcration of the ruling which Bus.
scy made in his lottcr TO Raum and
the REORGANIZATION OF cases now go.
ing OIL is simply an attonIpt to cor
rect tho mistakes Of Raum.
In speaking of this matter today,
Assistant Secretary OF the Interlor
Reynolds, Bussey's successor, said
1T is matter for reasonable
doubt whether. had tho election
terminated differently, the Repub.
lican authorities would have admit
ted their mistake. But il was so
evident that thoro was something
wrong and that the wrong would bo
discovered by the incoming admin.
istration, that something had to bo
done. 1t had been estimated in
Congress during the discussion
which preceded the passage Of the
law, that it would not increase the
pension list moro than &35 900, 900
Instead of that the sum paid out
has been double that amount, and
IT promised to still further increase.
Row the question arises whether,
IL u mistake has been committed,
as was admitted by Mr.. Bussey and
Secretary Noble In his letter, il
should DO allowed to stand, or
should be corrected" 1"
Judge Reynolds then proceeded
to show how unjust it would be To-
allow the pensioners, whose cases
were considered after the Republic
cans discovered their mistake,
smaller pensions than the 400, 600
whoses cases were considered before
the mistake was acknowledged, aud
pointed out that the honest and
legal course was that taken by tho
present administration; that is to
re.examine the sad 100000 crro~
noonsly granted pensions aud re-
elect them according TO the real
intent Of the law.

We aIBueu the tnlng ht tea,
And the more we argued the question
The more we didn't agree;
And the next that l remember
Was, when we lost "a COW
The crittor Lad kicked the bucket.
The question was oaly how.
held my opinion,
And Bctsey another had,
And as we talked aoout it
We both of us grew mad.
And the next was when / called her
A Pnsseyite, half for joke,
Aud full for week thereafter
No word to me she spoke.
And then scolded sharply
When she broke china bowl;
And she said was mean and stingy,
And hadn't any soul;
Aud so that bowl KEEP pourin'
Discussions in our cup,
And so that blamed cow critter
Was always A-comin' up.
Anu 80 the Heaven we argued
No nearer to us came,
But 1t gave us taste of something
With hotter-sounding name.
And so the trouble gathered
All in the selfsaiho way
Always something to argue,
Aud something sharp to say.
Till down on us come the ncighbors,
A couple o dozen strong,
And lent their kindest saryice,
To help the thing along;
And there have been days together,
And many weary week,
We were both Of us proud and spunky
And both too cross to speak.
And have been thinkin and thInkin
For the whole Of summer and fall,
If ] can't live kind with woman,
won't live with her at all.
So what is hers shall be hers,
And what is mine be mine:
You jnst make olt the agreement
And I'll take 1t to her to sign.
Now, then ! Pit down on the paper,
The very first paragraph,
That Of all the farm and live stock,
Betsey shall have her half;
For she has helped to earn it,
Through many weary day,
And it's nothing more than justice
She has her honest pay.
Give her the house and homestead; /;
a man can thrive and roam,
But women are skeery critters
Unless they bave home.
Aud j have always determined,
And never failed to say,
That Betssy should have home Of
her own
II l was taken away.
Then there's a little hard money
Laid by for rainy day;
just few hundred dollars,
That's drawing tol'rablc pay,
Safe in the hands of good men,
And easy TO come at;
Pot IN another clause there,
And give her half Of that.
Yes, ] see you smile, cir,
at my giving her so much;
You say divorce is cheap, sir,
But / take no stock in such;
True and fair ! married her,
When she was blitho and gay,
Aud she slla Mt have causo to blame
me,
Nov ] am going away.
Once when was young as you,
Aud not so smart, perhaps,
For me she mittened q lawyer,
Aud several other chaps;
And all OF thcm was clustered
And nightly taken down.
And / for y time was counted
The lnckicst mau la town.

KINGwooD w. VA. THURSDAY AUGUST 10. 1898.

Aud after we were married,
Oh, she was happy and strong:
1t made my heart feel lighter
To hear her merry song.
She nursed me through fever
When the doctors said I'd die
For seven nights hand-running
She never shut her eye.
And il ever house was tidy,
And ever u kitchen clean,
Her house aud kitchen were tidy
As any I've ever seen.
So | don't complain of Betsey
For anything she's done,
It's only for the thorning
or her everlasting tongue.
And ! don't blame it all on Bctsey
I'm willin' to take my share,
Only her constant scolding
Is more than | can bear.
So make out the papers, lawyer,
And Ell go home to night
'"N iN"N INV "SicchcnJ 10 ncT,
And see If it's all right.
And then I'll sell In the morning
10 a trading man 1 know,
And I'll kiss our little Bessie
And out in the world I'll 20.
You see that's one great reason
i couldn't divorce my wife,
'Twould be a disgrace to Bessie
For all the rest Of her life.
And one thing put in the paper,
That first to me didn't occur
That, when 1 die, want some on,
To take me back to her,
And lay me under the naples
planted so long ago,
When Betsey and | was happy,
Before we quarrelled so.
And when she dies, it's my wish
That she should be lain by me;
And, lying together in silence,
Perhaps we'll learn to agree:
And when me meet i'm Heaven,
wouldn't think il queer
Ii we loved each other better
For having quarrelled here.

Our married life SO far

Only we've lived together
As long as we think we can.

And we have agreed together
That we can't never agree.
Not that we've catched each other
In any terrible crime,
But trouble has been a brewin'
Between us for quite time.
The first thing very essential
Whereon we disagreed,
Was something concernin' Heaven
a difference in our creed.
We argued the thing at breakfast,
We argued the thing at tea,
And the more we argued the question
The more We didn't agree;
And the next that l remember
