TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 26.-Pension
Agent Clicks refusal to take from the
post office vouchers ON which postage
was not wholly prepaid, has called out
letter from United States Pension
Commissioner Lochren. Mr.. Lochren
thinks Mr. Clicks stand is good one.
and has ordered every pension agent
to take the same position. The COM
missioner's letter is as follows:
Continued complaints have come from the
United States pension agents that notaries
and claim agents, who undert IKE for pension
ers to forward their executed quarterly vouch-
ers for payment, habitually place larger
number OF such vouchers in one envelop, with
but one letter stamp or clearly insufficient
stamps for postage thereon: with the result
that the Unltel States pension agent must pay
postage on the packet when offered
for delivery to him, or refuse
to re GIVE it ana allow it to
20 to the dead Letter Office NJ such case Oc-
ours when the pensiOner sends his own vouch-
or, as single letter st imp is always sufficient
for its transmission The notaries and claim
agents alluded doubtless collect post lge from
the pensioners aud dishonesty retain it, ex-
pecting that the United StlteS pension agents
will paw the postage rather than delay the
payments. There Is no way to en- | this petty
swindling except by the refusal Of the United
States pension agents to pay such deficient
postage; and you are instructed hereafter to
refuse such payment II pensioners will in
trust their business to men so devoid Of hon
csty as to pilfer their postage, there is no good
reason why the loss and Inconvenience should
not fall on them, rather than on the United

schedules in this city this morning,
and most of the trains from the east

behind time. The conductors re-
ported no serious trouble with
the snow. The delay was due to
the crippled wire service, which made
the running of the trains hazardous
and uncertain. The cars were covered
with ice and snow, and looked as if
they had come through a blizzard.

A gentleman of this place owns fine
Newfoundland dog called Kate. Something
like a year ago last spring Kate was
very badly afflicted with mango, and her
master had her taken TO the neighboring
LANYARD and thrown into vat flled
with dye made from red oak bark, which
is possessed Of healing properties. The
dog got well and In the course OF the
year had litter Of fine young puppies,
all except two OF which were drowned.
A few days ago Kate discovered what
she evidently considered sure symptoms
OF mango in one of the pups, so, bidding
II follow, she made a bee line for the old
LANYARD. followed at some distance by
the pups. Arrived at the well-remember-
ed vat which had formed the scene OF
her own ablution, she seized her afflicted
pup by the nape of the neck and calmly
gave IL a good bath. in spite OF its pro-
testing yelps and struggles. As reward
for her foresight and maternal care the
pup recovered, and is now as frisky and
healthy as any mother could desire

During that time he bargains, dickers.
WORKS and sells. When his last tree is
gone he is done with work for another
year. There is only one Christmas-tree
man in the United States who works ,..ir-
ing the year. This man is a very ambi-
tious down fastener who wants TO make
money for a big family. This hard-work-
ing man rests from Christmas-Day until
July. Then he goes 10 work again. lie
buys up watermelons and sells them in
town. lie is the go-between for water
melons in summer. just as he is for
Christmas trees In the winter.
The otner Christmas-tree men do alb
solutely nothing for eleven and a half
months of the year but wear good clothes.
They dress in excellent taste own a fine
country house somewhere, read books
enjoy their horses and are gentlemen OF
leisure. A little before Christmas they
bestir themselves.
The absolute "cinch Of the Christmas
tree man has not passed unnoticed by his
