A young lady, the daughter of a west
arn farmer. whose heart OVERLOOKED with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home. cut off her beautiful hair, donned
male attire, enlisted in company and
went directly to the seat of war.
During the home life she had been the
milkmaid, and her kind treatment of the
bovine tribe of the farm had made her a
special favorite. But one of the Tactical
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting was always
demonstrated When mustered out Of
service, she returned to her paternal
home. her habiliments being those of the
heroes of the war, and politely requested
permission as a stranger for entertain
ment over night. which was readily
granted by the kind host to a returning
soldier
On the following morning she arose.
and still regarded by the entire family
as a perfect stranger she proceeded il
her soldier garb TO her old milking quar-
tiers, and she had not entered the gate
way till she was at once recognized by
her pet COW. which proceeded TO meet
her and greet her with all demonstra-
tons of a loving animal to a dear friend.
Then the soldier returned to the house
hold and instead OF possessing the recog-
niZing powers OF a COW il was hard work

"Oh, never mind that" said the mer-
chant kindly. Il am very sorry and had
no intention TO be severe. We are all

that he enjoyed the joke.-New York

An Old Truth Proved Once More.

\ pneumatic tired safety bicycle that
rested against the curb in Eighth avenue
opposite the Grand Opera House on Fri
day night had a crowd about it for an
hour. 1t bore huge placard with the
inscription, For Sale, Price SIP"
The placard had been placed there by
the owner, who had made a wager that
he would display the bicycle for two
hours, and that no one would venture to
buy it.
There was a lot of lively talk among
the crowd that stared at the bicycle, but
nobody went into the cigar store where
the man who had bet that a purchaser
would appear was anXiously waiting for
some one with $12 to materialize.
A stout Englishman neatly dressed
came along ana studied the placard with
a frown.
Il hate these practical jokes, he cried.
Il ride bicycle myself, and only wish
had Sl2 in cash, and I'd get that wheel
That reminds me of the story of the man
who stood on London bridge and offered
to sell genuine gold sovereigns for pen
ny apiece and stood there an hour with
out selling any
The bicycle owner won his bet finally,
TO the chagrin of the man who felt sure
that a bargain would be snapped up.
The fun of it was that the owner would
have been forced to part with it under
the terms of the wager.-New York Sun

\ Test Pension Case.

Col. Charles ID. Long, of Flint,
Michigan. is n one-armed veteran. In
other respects he is the picture of
rudy health. For 20 years he
was enjoying a prosperous law prac-
tice, and then he was elected on the
republican ticket as associate Justice
of the supreme court of his state at 4
salary of $1,000 per annum. Also
for years he has been receiving a pen
sion of $72 per month for total disa-
bility. although opposing counsel in
the cases in which he was interested
could never believe he was totally
disabled. Some time ago Col. Long
became one of those on the cOmmiss-
toner's list who was receiving pen
sion beyond his physical warrant.
and ii was withheld until he could
show cause why he was entitled to so
great pension. Through his east
ern attorney, Col. Long has filed 4 pc
tition in the United States court for
a writ of mandamus to compel Com
missioner Lochren to restore his pen
sion. 1t is claimed that the name
cannot be dropped from the rolls un-
til proceedings have been instituted
against him and au investigation un
dertaken.
Judge Long declares that the sus-
pension order was made by the COM
missioner on his own authority and
not on the authority of Secretary
Smith, and that it was not made un-
der the law directing the secretary
l.. ~
any person whenever it appears by
proof satisfactory that such name
was put upon such roll through
fraudulent representations. He
maintains that there is no statute
contemplating the suspension of n
pension, without notice and oppor-
tunity for q hearing, and that if any
surh construction should be given
TO any statute it would conflict with
the constitutional provision that mo
person shall be deprived of life,
liberty or property without due pro-
cess of law Judge Long asserts
that the commissioner has no au-
thority to suspend n pension pend
ing an investigation. He then re-
cites the fact that other pensions
have been suspended similarly.
and presents his petition to the
court 'sas test case, to obtain \
judicial determination of the powers
of the commissioner of pensions in
the premises.
Commissioner Lochren will meet
the issue in the courts, and this test
case will be watched with interest by
thousands of pensioners and by 9th
er thousands who foot the bills. il
is gratifying to note that the fight is
made in so eminent a case. Col
Long is one of the most prominent
politicians of his state, and is fully
equipped in brain and purse for q
long-drawn legal battle.

Has Its Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever a robbery is committed the ruler of
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on slip of paper the name of the per
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
elected" and is accordingly hanged. This
system, like all others, has its peculiar
advantages. 1t insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted, whereas under the system in vogue
in most civilized countries in nine cases
out of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime. OF course they
may not ''elect" the guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system tC
commend it to other nations.-Pomona

Sensible Points About Tips.

The greatest abuse of the tipping sys-
TEN in New York is in the fees to jani-
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. 1t has become Gus
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the janitor, bell
boy, elevator boy, etc., certain amounts
every month or fortnight-this without
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service or not.
The result of this indiscriminate tipping
is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not few tenants of apartment houses
have had an experience with janitors
which makes blackmail preferable to the
risk of the repetition of these expert
ences. AS in the case of walters, there
are good many annoyances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cured with a club and which do not
even form a substantial basis of COM
plant. And they are not less aggravat-
ing because you can't get away from
them or resent them. But TO simply pay
man Unfortunately just because he
is there is plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.
l make it a rule and can recommend
it after some experience to pay with
reasonable liberality for any special
service-that is, any service above and
outside of that which the man is en-
ployed to render to every tenant in com
mon. And never tip such men on gen
eral principes-that is. indiscriminately.
If an understanding to that effect is es-
tablshed at once upon going into new
fat, you Will avoid all the ills to which
others are subjected and have at call
those who are not only ready and will
ing, but eager to serve You. Begin at
| once to compensate literally every per
son about the place who renders you
special services and pay nobody else a
cent. Follow this rule, and You will in
variably get excellent service and plenty
Of attention. This rule will work equally
well with the waiter if You are a regular

Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty of making a complete col
lection of American specimens. The
United States coinage of 1893 is very rare
and dollar of the year 1894 has often
sold for as much as 800. A 1896 half
cent is so rare as to sell readily for $50,
and half dollar of the same year is
worth GO times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 is common enough,
all the other coins of that year are rare,
the dollar of that particular date being
the rarest of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out of the
1870 that We're coined. The lowest
price that one of these now changes
hands for is $S00.-London News.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-

the large number OF sibilant or hiss syl-
