Why should the decade from 1850 to
1890 show more than seven hundred mill.
ions paid for pensions, when that from
1870 to 1850 shows less than four hun
dred millions? Have pension laws some
times been made the means OF converting
rolls OF honor into lists Of mere beuehci-
aries, regardless Of services or disabili-
ties, merely to gain or perpetuate party
power! How shall revenues be devised
that can automatically adjust themselves
to the ever-expsnding extravagance OF
pension laws which add annually to the
rolls more than time and death removed?
No good citizen objects to pensions for
those real soldiers who incurred genuine
disabilities in the service or consequent
upon the service. But the thousands Of
men who draw pensions from the govern.
ment Of the United States, because by
sworn testimony they have proved them
selves victims Of chronic diseases, and at
the same time have policies in life insur-
snce companies to which they have SOL
emily declared themselves free from all
chronic maladies, aggregate a stupendous
swindle upon citizens who pay taxes and
upon those who carry life insurance.
Why should not an investigation be made
and such cases eliminated from the PEN
SIGN rolls? Can any man, without per-
juring himself, have a pension because he
has q chronic disorder aud a life insur-
snce policy because be has not such an
affection And how many thousands Of
such cases now stain the pension rolls
can only be ascertained by an investigs-
tion, which can be carried on easily and
inexpensively-in which the government
and the life insurance companies shall CO.
operate. Why not petition Congress to
order such an inquiry! Who can be in
jured by it! Can honorable, truthful,
and m~eritorious veterans suffer from such
q cleansing Of the pension rolls Hon.

The mandate given, straightway it is

Again the earth grows green. the sweet

And build their nests where buds are

And all the streams in tuneful gladness

And so all loving hearts should, one by

Burst from their bonds and have awak-

Awakening from sloth and blissful ease,
From sadness, gloom, and cares that

From acts and thoughts that rob the soul

And cause the heart its Maker to forget!
Awake to life and bloom. like to the year,
Blushing with flowers as the months ap-

Yet, if rejected, scorned. through passing

Immortal through my love. whose touch

Hath power thus to claim thee ever

Spokane, July 22.-Dr. w. c. Hunt and
Ross Britain of Spokane have Just com
pleted a health trip which started at the
foot of Lake Chelan and ended at the
east end of the reservation. They were
gone from May II, and after filling up on
the balmy air of Lake Chelan. went TO
its head. then to the summit of the Cas-
cades at the headwaters of the Stehekin
then up Bridge creek over Twisp pass and
down the Twisp into the Methow valley,
then down the Alethow and up the Okla
hogan to Boneparte creek and then
through the reservation.
To Spokesman-Review reporter DIR.
Hunt said:
Several properties are almost in the
position of real shippers in Piere's lake,
and from what learn there is no doubt
but branch of Mr.. Corbin's road will
be constructed to Pieres lake either this
fall or next spring. In fact l have it on
the best of authority that Mr.. Corbin 5
engineers will be in the field in Il few
days. This work is not done for recon
noissance for that was done long ago. but
to begin the preliminary steps toward
building the road. 1t is believed the road
will 90 no farther than Piere's lake this
year. but will be continued on next year.
1t is intended to start from Northport and
cross the Columbia river on the new rail
road bridge being built by Mr.. Corbin for
/ the Red Mountain road.
This will be a grand thing for the
Piere's lake country. There are dry ores
in there of character greatly desired by
the lie Roi smelter, and if the smelter is
bmlt and Canadian duty placed on the
lie Roi ores, the eastern reservation
country will never allow it to shut down
for lack of ores to smelt."

A woman that marries for Il home

The devil probably told Eve that ap-
pies were good for the complexion.
When the women begin to smoke to-
bacco the men can all use sachet pow
der.
The woman that prays hardest for
her husband doesn't tell him she's do
ing so.
1t is always a mystery to a woman
why her husband doesn't seem to pity
old bachelors more.
The average girl would rather be
caught in swimming than to be seen
with n gingham apron on.
Life is like a nutmeg grater-you
have to rub up against the rough side
of it to accomplish anything.
When a girl rides bicycle she never
thinks her own skirt blows up as much
as the others she sees.
The first thing some men will do
when they get to heaven will be to hunt
around for one of the old patriarchs so
they can tell him all the new stories
they know.

Novel Love Lettars-

1t is well known, says a contempt
rary, that, when the petals of the
great Laurel Magnolia are touched.
however lightly, the result is brown
spot, which develops in a few hours.
The fact is taken advantage of by the
South American lover, who pulls a
magnolia flower, and on one of its pure
white petals writes a motto or message
with a sharp pointed pencil. Then
he sends the flower, the young lady
puts it in a vase of water, and in three
or four hours the message written on
the leaf becomes perfectly visible, and
remains so.

Night.


The golden rays are fleeing and night
draws on apace,
Diana casts her dusky robe DER heavens
beauteous face,
Earth's deepest wales are sleeping, in mist
lies jocund Day;
Wrapped in slumber so divine, as though
she knelt to pray.
The pearly gates are opening, the lustrous
stars burst through,
While shaken from a cherub's hands fall
drops of crystal dew.
Harkl angels bright are singing; their
voices, clear and sweet
Tell DER and DER the story Of old, Of
Christ the mercy-seat.
The flowers, their heads uplifting, send
incense, pure and rare,
To mingle with the clouds above, and shed
sweet fragrance there;
While gentle zephyrs, singing through
every leafy tree,
Cool many a hot and fevered brow before
they turn to fee.
So, thus with voice ascending in praise to
God above,
Who clothes the lily of the field, who
teaches truth and love,
We welcome in the morning Aurora, clear
and bright,
And bid Diana fond ACKNOWLEDGMENT to
beauteous Mint

lead, saw that there was not time to
safely cross the railroad and stepped
off, at the same time giving a warning
to his friend. The latter did not fully
understand, and throwing all his leg
power into action made a dash. The
train was coming thirty miles an hour
and caught Reithmanli Just as the was

saw the inevitable smash coming, but
was unable to slow up until he had
passed the spot several hundred feet.
Then he, the train crew, the passengers
and Philbeck began looking under the
cars for the mangled remains of Rieth-
mann. None thought to look on the
cowcatcher until wavering cry from
that point attracted their attention.
There they found the supposed victim,

condition from the shock but close ex-
animation showed that neither he nor
his wheel was in the least damaged.
Riethmann has no idea how he landed
safely on the cowcatcher, the terrible
peril of the situation Shaving set his
wits astray for the moment. Next day
he was around as usual, but has men
toned in confidence that for the future
he will always find time to wait until
the train passes.

| wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high DER wales and hills,
When all at once l saw crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake. beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of bay.
Ten thousand saw | at n glance.
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such jocund company.
| gazed and gazed, but little thought
What wealth that show to me had
brought.
For often when on my couch lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They fash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
