The touts and the regulars, the lambs
and the tigers at Oakley were somewhat
surprised one day last week to see a styl-
ishly dressed lady out in the betting shed
leaning against the counter where hard
boiled eggs and hot! hotr' are dispensed
to those who are hungry.
She was the observed of all observers,
and, though the cynosure of all eyes, she
hulled an egg or two and devoured them
with evident relish, apparently uncon-
scious of the situation.
Presently a gentleman stepped up hur-
riedly and said:
why, Helen, what in the world brought
you down here?'
I'm hungry, that's what I am, and
came down here to get lunch"
But this is no place for you. Why
didn't you tell me? 1 would have sent it
up to you"
Tell your"
Yes, tell me-"
I'd have starved to death if 1 had waited
for you. And l want you to understand
that when you bring me to the races
you've got to remember that I'm here.
You came down here before the first race.
and you've not been upstairs but for a
minute during the whole time. And If you
don't come up more frequently I'm coming
down here for lunch between every two
of the races What's more, I'll go up to
that bar and get a glass of beer the next
time. 1t looks mighty nice and cold, and
I've half a mind to try one"
Indeed, you'll not" said the gentleman.
If you want an ice lemonade, come on
and I'll get 1t for you"
Then he must have spent a half hour
or so in making his peace with the lady,
for his visits in the betting shed were
only made at long intervals, and his stay
was limited. Her method was heroic, but
effective.

CURRENT COMMENT.
VastneSs of Pension Expenditures.
From the New York Sun. QndD.

How many people stop to consider that
more than nine-tenths of the money rails
ed by the tariff has been going for PEN
sions during the past four years? How
many people would believe without turn
ing TO the official documents for the fig
ures, mat during the same period more
tnan 96 per cent of all the revenue raised
by internal taxes has been consumed by
a pension establishment maintained on ac-
count of a war that ended a third OF a
century ago, and concerning which SO
good a republican and so loyal a veteran
as James Abram Garfield remarked twen>
ty-fivc years ago, I'VE may reasonably
expect that the expenditures for pensions
(then aggregating about 100000 Year,
will hereafter steadily decrease, unless our
legislation should be unwarrantably eX-
