Ex-Prisoners-nE-Mar RfII.

Representative Hooker, of New York, has
introduced a bill for the relief of ex-prisoners
of war. It provides that all veterans who were
inmates OF Southern prisons for period ex-
tending beyond the terms of their enlistment
shall be permitted to bring their claims before
the Court of Claims for adjustment. There
were a number of soldiers who were in these
prisons at the expirations of their terms of en-
lIsfment who have never received Any COM
pensation therefor. Mr.. Hooker says that in
some instances these prisoners were confined
for as much as year. They have not received
pay for such ierms because their enlistment
had expired, and pensions have been denied
them for the technical reason that their disa-
biiities were not incurred in the discharge Of
their duty.

A much-beloved subject for joking is pockets
for women-their absence or awkwardness of
location. This sketch from the Detroit Free
Press is one of the funniest of all the stories:
The mans wife had asked him to go upstairs
and look in the pocket of her dress for key
she thought was there, and, being a man will
ing to accommodate. he had done 1t was
long time until he returned. and when he did
there was a peculiar look in his eyes.

pocket" he said, with painful effort.

there"
say / can't find any dress in the pocket
of your key" he said, doggedly.
His tone seemed to disturb her.
"You didn't half look for it, she insisted.
al tell you can't find any pocket in the
key of your Dress" he replied, in dazed kind
of way.
This time she looked at him.

nervousiy
Il say" be said, speaking with much effort,
"tbat cans find any dress in the key of your

She got up and went over to him.
"Oh, William!" she groaned; "have you
been drinking?"
He looked at her leerily.
Il tell You l can't find any pocket in the
dress of your key" he whispered.
She began to shake him.
What's the matter7 What's the NATTER"
she asked in alarm.
The shaking seemed to do him good. and he
rubbed his eyes as if he were regaining con-
seiousness.

deed. Wait minute. / can't find any dress

no. that's not it, any-auy-any pocket.
There. that's it," and food of light came
into his face. "Confound it. / couldn't find
any pocket"
Then he sat down and laughed Historically;
and his wife, wondering why in the name of
goodness men raised such a row over finding
the pocket in a woman's dress, went upstairs
and came back with the key in two minutes.
