Passengers over the Rumford Fall,
and Buckfeld road always notice
upon the platform at East Peru q
plump and pretty girl who wears the
regalia of the station agent. She
wears a cap with gold lace and brass
shield, and on the shield is "Station
Agent" This is Miss Lille Howard
and she has had charge of the station
at East Peru for some time. She is
attentive to her duties, the train men
always have a smile and pleasant
word for her, and many drummer
vainly attempts to appropriate a
share OF her smile as the train whisks
past. 'Tis needless to comment on
the neatness of East Peru's station.

HERE was a great utterauce. ms

HERE was great utterance, made
by William Pitt more than a century
ago, which is still a truth today :
My lords and gentlemen-To levy a
direct tax of 7 per cent. is a danger
GUS experiment in u zee country, and
may invite revolt; but there is a
method by which you may tax the
last rag from the back and the last
bite from the mouth without causing
a murmur against high taxes, and
that is to tax great many articles of
daily use and necessity so Indirectly
that people will pay them and not
know it; their grumbling then will be
OF hard times, but they will not know
that the hard times is caused by
taxation.

Among the Foreign buildings.

Among the Foreign buildings, /
most admired France, Germany and
Great Britain. Germany's exhibit
consisted mainly OF Christ, and Him
Cruciied," in painting, sculpture and
wood carving.
And now for the Midway. l could
say about as much as 1 have already
written and then not tell the half. 1t
in itself, is equal to trip around the
world, as the customs, habits and re-
ligious OF the different Nations of the
World are here shown. In the streets
of Cairo, we laughed heartily at our
younger sister Grace, in riding the
camel, but we fairly screamed when
he told us it's name, Tara ra-ra-Boom
de-ay Chicago" as fast as he could
talk. One staid looking, old camel
bore the name OF "Moses."
The intricate mazes of the Moorish
Palace greatly amused us. While in
here we saw the original guilotine by
which Marie Antoinette was beheaded.
The wax works and mystic chamber
are very fine. AS becomes all true
Irish, we visited Aberdeen Castle and
bowed to the Blarney Stone. We
spent much time, enjoying the great
display of Oriental work, in the Turk
ish Bazaar, and streets of Constanti-
nople. In the Libbey Glass Works,
We saw the magnificent glass dress
presented to Princess Eulalia.
The entire Plaisance is one continu-
Gus uproar, the general invitation to
everything being music. A special
song raging just now, and vieing with
" After the Ball." on all musical in
struments, is "The Ferris Wheel"
And the Ferris Wheel-Oh Ny! l
never felt how wicked I was until that
wonderful wheel carried me 25O feet
near the blue heavens than / thought
I should be. 1t is simply the most
stupendous affair that America has
yet devised for the pleasure OF her
children, and il it (possibly) should be
eclipsed by the hanging balloon, which
foreigners are building, we will still be
ahead through Maxim's great air-ship.
Isn't it grand TO think that our Coun-
try and her sons and daughters are
the greatest on earth?

WHOLE NUMBER 1,765.


The pension roll contains 966,Ol2l
names and the amount paid the pen
sioners in the year ending June 80,
1893, was $l56,74O,467. During the
year 123, ,634 names were added to the
rolls and 33.690 names were dropped.
OF the latter 25,OO5 were the names of
pensioners who died during the year.
There are now outstanding I'll ,150
claims, including those for increase of
pensions. Ii twenty years ago it had
been suggested that twenty-eight
years after the war closed the pension
list would be growing at an unprece-
dented rate, the idea would have been
secuted as absurd. yet such is the
fact and it is not easy TO fix a time
when the increase will cease. Of the
3,OOO,OOO men who enlisted during the
war 100000 are said to be alive, and
the department estimates that the
number of persons embraced in the
provisions of the dependent pensions
law will equal 100000 more. OF
these 100000 persons, less than one
quarter are in receipt of pensions. 1t
is highly probable, therefore, that a
large number OF the other three-quar-
ters will be heard from. The New
York World believes that the pension
roll by 1905 will contain 100000
names. The Commissioner of PEN
siOns thinks that the maximum num-
Der may be reached by 1895, but this
hardly seems possible because as the
pensions of enlisted men expire by
their death, in the majority OF in
stances some one claiming a depen-
dent pension will take their places.
The official figures render it very
doubtful if the pension list will fall
below $780, 100000 by the year 1910.
After that the decrease will, OF course,
be more rapid. This is vast burden
for the taxpayers to bear, but if all
the money went to deserving recip-
tents no one would complain. This
vast pension list, which in a few years
will be three times as great as the
total expense Of governing the coun-
try in the year before the war, must
have a powerful influence upon our
fiscal policy for many years to come.

Farmer ana Newspaper Man.

Many men think that newspaper
men are persistent, dunners. By why
OF comparison let us suppose that a
farmer raises 1000 bushels of wheat q
year, and sells this to 1000 persons in
all parts oil the country, a great por.
ton OF them saying, II will hand you
a dollar in short time" The farmer
does not want to be small and SAYS
" All right" Soon the 1000 bushels
are gone but he has nothing to show
for it, and he then realizes that he has
fooled away his whole crop and its
value to him is due In q thousand lit.
tie driblets, consequently he is serious.
ly embarrassed in his business, be.
cause the debtors, each owing him 50,
treat it as small matter and think it
would not help much. Continue this
kind of business year in and year out
as the publisher does, how long would
he stand it? A moments thought
will convince any one that q publisher
has cause for persistent dunniny.

loving the saints abandoned this ecclesi
astical edifce to murderous mob of Lii
nois and Missouri ruffans, and het
across the Mississippi, beginning that re
markable migratory fight across tn
plains TO Utah.
The mob set fire to the building and &
terrible tornado in 1850 tore down The
walls that remained. 1t IS claimed that
vandals have carried the stones OF this
temple to every state in the union as curl
osities.
This temple was built OF light grey
limestone, and was 1913 feet in length, So
feet in width and Is feet from floor to
roof. The tower being 1855 feet. Over
one million,dollars was expended on this
building.
On account of the political disturb
ances at this time no spiritual manifesto
tons took place.
Besides the Salt Lake temple there are
! three other Mormon temples in Utah, viz:
at st. George, Logan and Manti. The
cost of these structures have averaged
about 100000. These buildings are all
constructed through the voluntary con-
tributions of the Mormon people in the
same manner as churches are by christian
sects.
It is the custom among good Mormons
to give one.tenth of their earnings to
church purposes in labor, produce or
cash, but this is not compulsory and, as
in other churches, enthusiasts give more
than they can afford and those indiffer.
ent less.
The Mormons believe that jackson
county, Missouri, was the site Of the
tabled Garden of Eden told about in
Genesis "a book of disputed authorship
but which christian people generally sup
pose to exist on some other continent.
At any rate the Mormons are convinced
of the correctness of their view on this
matter and, intend as soon as circum-
stances will enable them and the govern
ment of the United States will sufficient
ly guarantee them protection, to begin in
that country temple that will excel any
thing known to man. Its cost may ex-
coed one hundred million dollars.
In these temples certain ceremonies
are performed, masonic in their character.
Marriages are here performed, and the
endowment house, which pious Mormons
regard as too sacred to speak of to Cen
tile, has been thoroughly described by a
that have Gpostasized from the
church, and is quite scandalous taking q |
worldly view of the subject.
The Mormons believe in vicarious bap- |
tism as well as vicarious atonement, and |
these temples are provided with the most
approved facilities for baptizing. A good |
Mormon spends much Of his leisure in
being baptized for his nnrepentant
friends and relatives that have died out
side of the church. Washington, Frank
lin, Jefferson aud other notables in this
and other lands have been bap
tized for in this way.
Good Mormon fellows with seemingly
we'll balanced minds, have told me con-
identially and with the air of positive
that there would be great
during the dedication of
this temple; that angels woald appear to
he holy ones and other unmitigated
'oolishness of this kind. But why they
should not appear as we'll now as they
lid q few thousand years ago, [ have not
1een informed by even those who believe
hat they once did. F. Fl. MONROE.
