Going for Kate Field.

Kate Field loves to cater to the
aflluent and never ceases to toady to
the wealthy, at whose tables she is often
asked to dine, but she despises the poor
pensioners, one of whom writes to her
as follows " Madam: l am at loss to
account for the motive that prompts
you to keep up from week to week
petty war on the pension list, and
through it on the veteran soldiers who
by their sacrifices and valor rendered
this country worth living in. Perhaps
it is the same that animates majority
of those who are fighting pensions, viz.
that you are not yourself pensioner.
If this be so, shall take great pleasure
in presenting to you an elegant gentle
man, matrimonially inclined and with
large pension, which he would, no doubt,
devote to your use. He has honorable
scars, in the presence of which your
tongue and pen would ever be still on
the subject of pension frauds. Why do
you not pitch into bank presidents and
cashiers? There is more money lost
through their misdeeds than there is
through fraudulent pensions; but now
that you are receiving offers of mar
riage you may, perhaps, be hoping to
hear from one of these gentlemen over
in Canada or up in the Dakotas. l
advise you to take the soldier, for the
other may have spent his ill-gotten
gains, and when the soldier dies you
will renew the pension in your own
right and live to ripe old age. There
are nearly 1000 people in the big red
building, and large number outside,
who are using every precaution to see
that no fraud is perpetrated on the pen
sion list. 1t is their sworn duty to do
this, so you might turn the power of
your pen and press to writing up and
holding up to the public scorn these
bank officials, whatever their present
high station in life and Office. "-Tr0y

War and the Worlds Fair.

AS the first great Worlds Fair held
in London in 1851 was shortly after
wards followed by the Crimean war, so
some of its successors have had more
or less great wars closely on their heels.
If the Worlds Fairs did not bring on
those wars they certainly did not pre-
vent them. But our Columbian cele-
bration presented one spectacle which
is probably without precedent, and
should be of good augury. Many of
those who witnessed the great parade
of sailors and marines on the streets of
New York on April 81 may not have
been mindful of the fact that they saw
something that perhaps had never hap
pened within the memory of the pres
ent generation, and would not be pos
sible anywhere else in the world: sail
ors and soldiers of ten different nations,
with arms in their hands, united in one
festive array-English Russians,
Germans, and Frenchmen belonging to
the armed forces of rival powers that
may, as is thought, at any mo-
ment come to blows among them
subsequently, marching with mus
kets on their shoulders and swords at
their sides behind one another in one
column. 1t was spectacle emblematic
of the position of this great American
republic among the nations of the
earth-the great peace power of the
world embracing in its hospitality the
great war powers of the world for a
celebration of human progress and
mutual good will.-Harper's Weekly.

German orderly made his appearance
earnestly inquiring for mineral

impatiently. "Vy, we took 'em pack

Stray Thoughts.
BY DIR. l.. VI. FIsRE.

When twilight falls on busy day
And sit meath the summer sky,
retrospect of days that are past
Comes swiftly fitting by
touch Of some hand tone of some voice,
Recalls some transient event or day,
Like the beating of wings in hurried flight
That were here are gone, now are far away
think of sayings I've often heard,
And jotted down in memory's page;
Some from lips that are silent now,
And many from others grown gray with age,
Like bridge that safely carries us DER
Should never be censured, for others say;
And to swap our horses when crossinga stream
Is mighty unsafe and careless way.
Age brings wit and wisdom as well as gray heads;
An apple is worthlesst ripened and mellow.
The best fruted.trees are oftenest dubbed
And he who climbs highest is called the best
fellow.
There's room at the top in every profession,--
Daniel Webster wrote this with his strong right
hand
True merit will find its own level;
Each tub spon its own bottom must stand.
When rich you have friends, when poor you have
none;
No water you miss till you empty the bucket.
When you get old, decrepit and blind,
Your purse is safest kept in your pocket.
Shake hands with the devil when obliged to meet
His satanic majesty and never before;
And borrowing trouble from day to day
Is filling our basket many times DER.

Cross to His Mother.

When l was eighteen years of age, |
must confess | was very fond of nice
young man who had come to see me for
over year, and both looked forward to
a happy wedding in the near future.
He was German; | an American. L
understood German very well, though
l had never told him so. | had never
seen his mother, and | wanted to, but
he would say, "some time | shall take
you and show my mother her new
daughter" He seemed long time
doing it, and one day | said, Come,
Gus, we will surprise your mother"
He said, rather Grossly, "Oh, not to-
day." | said: Yes, to-day. l want
to CO." He had sent me lovely bou-
quet that MOI ming, and took out some
pinks and wore them. When we got
to - street, | said, " In this streel?"
" Yes" he answered. "Mother is
queer" He stopped at an alley; then
in we went to very poor but respect
able rear house. He opened the door,
and very lovely poor little woman
stood in the room. Gus introduced us,
but l shall never forget the look he
gave her. She seemed in dread of
him. Then she said: ooh, Gus, where
have you been since Saturday? / have
cried myself sick worrying about you"
He ground his teeth, and in German he
said, "Shut your mouth" She sighed
as she walked into the other room. A
mirror hung between the two front
windows, and where l sat | could see
all that was going on in the rear rooms.
His mother beckoned him to come in,
and he did so. In German she softly
asked for little money. He took out
some change and gave her part of it,
saying in German: You old fool, you
are always asking for money. / had
debt to pay this morning of SO,
and | am short, so you can take that
or nothing" Then out he stepped as
pleasant as ever to where | was sitting.
8 guess we will start" said l. "Your
time is Your own" he said, not think
ing that | had understood aud seen.
His mother babe me goodby. invited
her TO my home, but Gus spoke up,
" Oh, mother never goes out" On the
way home he said, "Don't you think
mother is odd?" "No, | think she is
lovely, and that is more than l can say
about you" "What do you mean,
dear?" Well, if you want to know, l
understood your German TO your
mother. | saw your looks in the glass,
and a man that will use his mother like
that l despise." He tried to smooth
things over, but | was determined, so
that settled that wedding, but | am
married now to man that loves both
mother and wife.-Ne,o York Recorder.

Hit BY a Shell.

We had been held in reserve for five
long hours while cannon Numbered
and muskets cracked spitefully all along
the front a mile away. A procession
of the dead and wounded had filed past
us until we were sick with horror.
Shot and shell and bullet had fallen
upon us behind the woods until the
dry, dead grass bore many stain of
blood. g Attention! Forward-guide
right-march!" The brigade was going
in at last, and there was look of relief
on the face of every officer and man as
he got the word "Guide right-front-
forward -marchp' As we swung clear of
the woods gust of wind raised the
smoke for a minutes and | saw the
plain in our front blue with dead and
wounded. Away beyond them was a
line of earth works, and | had one swift
glimpse of thin blue line kneeling be-
hind the cover. "Sleady Right dressl
Double-quick marchV' The air is alive
with the ping of bullets and the whizz
and shrek of shot and shell. We bend
our heads as if breasting a fierce gale
laden with icy pellets. There is wild
cry-a shriek-a grOan as men are
struck and fall to the earth, but no one
heeds them-no one hesitates. 1t is a
hurricane of death, but we feel a wild
eXultation in breasting it. Men shout,
curse, sing, swing their hats and cheer.

artillery-men are lying about and be-
side me. Where is the brigade? Why

There is red, fresh blood on the grass
on my hands-on my face. l taste it
on my lips as my parched tongue thlusts
itself out in search of moisture. Who
is groaning? Who is shrieking? Who
is cheering? And why should | laugh
and eXult? Have we held the line
against grand charge? Did We scatter
and decimate the legion hurled against
us? Have we won great victory to be
flashed over the country and cause the
bells TO ring with gladness? Let me
think. Give me time to remember how
