Then and Now.
The IRON Era. Dorer N III

The IRON Era, Docer, ". y.
The orphans of Union soldiers are not per-
mitted to draw pensions after they have reached
the age of 16. Up to that age they are allowed
s. month to live riotously on every day. Was
their fathers lives worth it? Our Democratic
friends are kicking so dreadfully about the size
of the pension bills Uncle Sam paying Will
they cut off some of these? l remember the
time when many of us used to sing:
"The boys will cheer. the men will shout,
The ladies they will! all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when
Johnnie comes marching home"
The day came when Johnnie, or what was left
of him, came marching home; but some OF him,
alas. was left on Southern battefelds. To-
day, some of them, shoulder their crutch to
show how fields were won." and the remainder
are fast getting too old to be good for much
The prime of their manhood was freely given
to the country they loved better than life, and
now you would deprive their children of the
pitiful $2 month which the law allows them.
If you must show the world that you can run
this Government cheaper than anybody else
pray you, o, wise Democratic statesmen, begin
to pare your cheese somewhere else. Let the
soldiers orphans 81 alone If you can prove
that there is any name on the pension roll
which got there by perjury and fraud-it could
not have gotten there any other way, except
honestly-bring On your proof and then you
may lash the rascals naked through the
world" for all / care, but don't talk Of the
"paupers in blue" any more.

sbe Panerea Her Floors.

A woman to whom the ordinary, dust-col-
lecting, moth breeding carpet was an abomina-
ton, and who could not afford to have all her
rooms reioored in hard woods, adopted this
expedient for some of the seldom used ones.
She selected at a paperhanger's heavy WALL
paper, dark in color and conventional in de-
sign. She laid the floor first with brown paper.
Then she put down the wall-pape by first
coating it with paste and smoothing it down.
When the floor was all papered she sized and
vanished it with dark glue aud common var
nish, which deepened the color. When it was
dry she scattered few rugs about and her
paper carpets have lasted for years.

THE OLD SHIELD.
BY AGNES PARKER, CHICAGO.

Many year have hung on this wall,
Amid dust and smoke and decay,
Wonderingly anxiously waiting
To be taken down some day.
I'm tired of hanging here always,
So silent and still in the gloom,
With not living thing near me,
Save the spiders weaving their loom.
Like myself there is other old armor
Lying about on the floor,
ALI battered and tarnished and broken,
Too old to be used any more.
With each other we try to keep company,
And talk of the years gone by.
When wa won fame aud glory and honor,
While the battle was raging high.
I have been In many a war.
And was ever brave stanch shield;
Ihave fought with q gallant young knight,
When laurels he won on the field.
And ever since then have hung here,
In this queer ruined old tower,
And many a weary year has passed.
And many q lonely hour.
My thoughts they go back wandering
To the music and the dance.
To the reveis and the combats
With the sword and glitiering lance.
But those revels now are over,
In the halls where wine went round
There's no echo of the laughter
That once made these walls resound.
Broken are the golden goblets,
That so merriy did ring
With good cheer and Joy and gladness,
To the glory of king.
And the years will roll on slowly,
While in sunshine and in shower
Still my watch will 1 be keeping,
Hanging in this ruined tower.

Turned Upside Down

Is your home in this sad plight
many are and house-clean-
ing does it. Cold meals and
no comfort, sour tempers and
aching backs, hard work and
too much of it, tired women
and "mad" men-all from
house-cleaning. And it's all
needless. Don't make such
a fuss over it. Take a little
Pearline, and have it done
easily, quickly and quietly.
You'll have it done better, too
you won't have to rub the
paint off TO get the dirt off.
You can save half your labor
and half your time, if you'll
clean house with Pear1ine-
and everybody in the house
will be thankful for it. Mill
ions use nothing but Pearline
for washing and cleaning.

The poor fellow who stole an eight
cent loaf of bread in New York the other
day, was required to give three hun
dred dollar bond. The world remarks
that the bond is six thousand times as
much as the value of the property he was
accused of stealing. But when men like
Emo appropriate one or two millions to
their own use they either get away with
out the annoyance of giving bail or the
amount is put at about one-hundredth
part of the amount stolen. The consti-
tuition prohibits excessive bail, it is true,
but was not the $500 required of the hun
CRY bread thief excessive? Emo could
furnish bail to the amount of ST.
100000 much easier. The moral is, don't
steal bread, steal currency and govern
ment bonds, and plenty of them.

A NEGRO, FORTUNE.
How Government Clerk Has Become
Rich.

How a Government Clerk Has Become
Rich.
At least one man made fortune while
he was clerk in a government office,
says the Savannah News. Until last Fri
day Thomas H. Meriwether was a clerk
in the office of the second auditor of the
treasury department. He is a colored
man and is about forty years OF age.
He to Washington from Kentucky when
mere youth ana was given place IN
the office of General Bristow. He was
merely an office boy, and hence his eom-
pensation was small. He finally got a
place as night watchman in the treasury
I department, and he spent much OF each
day at Howard University, from which in
stitution he finally or ,duated. He then
passed a civil service examination and
secured a clerkship which he resigned
last Friday. He saved his money and
invested it in real estate in Louisville
and Washington. From his small be
gjnnngs he has accumulated fortune.
A fair estimate of the value of his prop
erty is said to be $25O,OO0 and ne is
steadily increasing it. He is now build
inc nine houses which are to cost $50, 900,
and he recently completed a block OF
sixteen houses at a cost of $120,000. 1t
is doubtful if any other government clerk
in Washington or elsewhere has made as
much of his opportunities.

Ir the voters OF Ohio appreciate the
issues and know what they want and
how to get it, Major Mckinley will be
beaten out OF the sight. Tho democrats
have nominated a straight out silver
man in the person Of Hon. Lawrence
Neal, and besides having silver procliv-
tiles he is rightly famed as n Of the
strongest and ablest leaders Of Ohio's de-
mocracy. He has served his state in
congress and knows from long experience
that free coinage alone can relieve the
country from Its distress. He will
stump the state on that issue and will
win-for the silver sentiment in Ohio is
stronger than in any other eastern state.
McKinleyism was knocked out last fall
and Mckinley will meet his Waterloo
this year, despite his personal popular
ity and the sympathy worked up for
his financial misfortunes.
