"FoR LOVES SWEET SAKE"

Because you have no golden hoard.
Or broad aud fertile lands to show,
Or wealth in glittering Baskets stored,
You fear to whispcr-what know;
You think 'twould be gricvous wrong
Me from my smoother paths to take,
Nor understand how brave and strong
My heart could be for Loves sweet sake
Because you are man, you seek
To hide the tender pain you feel;
And !, woman, should not speak
Orc word your secret wound to hcali
Yet, knowing well that each for cacn
Lifc's fullest harmonics could wake
fain would place within your reach
That gift Of Love Tor Loves sweet sake
Because the ways you tread arc rough
Shall We two always stand apsrU
Nay, let me own 'twould be enough
To share your veal and woe, dear heart
II you must bear daily cross,
why, will half the burden take;
And what you choose TO call my loss
Count truest gain for Loves sweet sake

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The Pension Blu
reau is now engaged investigating what
appears TO be an extensive system OF pen.
sion frauds i'm New Mexico. The bureau
has had reason to suspect for some time
the existence of crooked dealings in that
territory and instituted an examination OF
pension affairs there.
An examining board consisting Of three
medical examiners and seven special exam
iners was sent to New Mexico, and about
the first result of a preliminary investiga-
ton was the arrest OF "a pension attorney
at Socorro, named Marcelino charged with
forgery of evidence. He pleaded guilty,
was tried Mt once and has been sentenced
TO seven years imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary. '} ..4
Ii is not known yet how extensive Mar
celinos fraudulent operations were, but
about 200 eases of his are under cxamina
