THE pension Office in Washington is

THE pension Office in Washington is
4 bonanza for romance writer's If they
only knew it. and the incidents i'll real
lilo shat often come to the attention of
the clerks there show how much
stranger truth often is than fiction.
Hast week developed romance that
rs uncommonly queer. A lady i'll Con
7snectjcut made an application for a wild
~@Ow's pension, and in the regular order
~ OF business it went to the files whel G
the records are kept alphabetically,
and as her name commences with \,
an unusual letter, there were few appli-
..~cauts in her class. The record clerk
glanced over the list without any par
ticular motive, but noticed that man
with the same name was already draw
ing a pension, which was granted him
in 1873 and is being paid through the
California agency. 1t required only q
few moments search to discover that
the record in the two cases was iden-
tical, not only the same name, but the
same regiment and company. The
woman offered no proof of the death OF
Eher husband, but her affidavit sets
forth that she had not seen or heard Of
him since the war, and to the best o.
her knowledge and belief he had beer
killed in battle. A letter was written
to her stating thai a man of the same
name and service as her husband was
already drawing pension for wounds
received in tho war, and by return mai
came a spirited inquiry for bis where
abouts. She said that she had been
mourning bis death for more thar
twenty years, and if the pension people
would assist her in locating him she
would make it very hot for the truant
spouse.

THE latest fad in New York and
Boston is to go without ones breakfast.
The breakfastless folk say they are i'm
mensely better in health and that
breakfast is merely matter of habit
and is highly injurious. Perhaps these

how to do without dinner and supper
also. 1t is awfully expensive to eat;

was fierce gale blowing at the time
and fears were entertained that the
fire might communicate with the ad.

had made the discovery spread the
alarm as quickly as possible and they
set to work to conquer the flames
which had gained some headway by
this time. After quick work they
succeeded in getting control and soon
had the flames extinguished.
The fire is supposed to have been
of incendiary origin and It's said there
is clue as to who the fire bugs were
