embarrassment and humiliation on ac-
count of the publication are the persons
who know that they have no right to
a pension. They are the persons who
are disabled enough in the eyes of ben
evolent local examiners to deserve a
pension from the government, and able
enough to work and earn money, ike
un-pensioned men, at their regular
business and calling. Some of them are
well-to-do people who are not too pa
triotic to take the governments money
for imaginary or trifiing disability
And presumably some of them are per
sons who are not anxious to have their
war record examined.
The publication of the pension lists
will be an act of justice to all who have
a pension and deserve it, and TO all
present or future deserving applicants.
The veterans demand it for their own
honor. The country demands it as a
means of checking the waste Of the
public money.
There may be some little objection on
the part of some pensioners to having
the rolls published, but the great objec-
ton will come from those who dare not
submit their claims to the light of day.
The honest pensioner has everything
to gain by the publication of the lists,
while the dishonest pensioner has
everything to lose. The dishonest pen
sioners are in the small minority, and
it is this fact which protects them
They do the same thing that certain
moths and butterflies in the South

vate it. Publish the pension lists by all

THE only safe way to purchase
abandoned farms in Massachusetts is
to be sure you have enough money to
support your possession. Then to be-
come a landholder in this way is not
without its compensations, says the
Boston Herald. This sounds rather odd
from a Massachusetts, paper. 1t is a
frank admission that the abandoned
farms are absolutely no good, and that
if they had been they would not have
been abandoned. This may be discourage
ing but it is very much better than
to represent the farms as being a first
class investment. Those who purchase
the farms with full knowledge of what
they are will have no cause to complain
if they shall prove for themselves that
the farms were abandoned beca use
they could not be made to pay.

SONG TO A SWEETHEART.

My heart is a wave of the sea,
Sweetheart,
Forever seeking the shore;
That pillows and leaps
And curlS and creeps,
But it beats it's heart
In sad unrest
'Gainst the rocks that stand
TWixt the sea and the land,
Forever and evermore,
Sweetheart,
Forever and forever morei
My heart is a far-off cloud,
Sweetheart,
That longs for the western winds;
To lie so light,
The long, sweet night,
Safe from the storm
In His sheltering arm;
To be borne away
Where tits never day,
On the heart OF the western wind
Sweetheart,
On the heart of the warm west windi
My heart is an empty nest,
Sweetheart,
a bird that is far from its home;
A leaf in the storm,
An unsung songi
And the wandering bird,
Leaf and song unheard,
Each yearnS for its home
And makes its moani
And my heart cries aloud for it's own,
Sweetheart,
Cries aloud for its own, for its ownI

The new British peerages just issued
show that no less than $50 new names
have been added during the past jubilee
year as privy councillors, peers. bar
opets, and knights of the various orders
of chivalry. The extent of this addi-
ton will be realized when it is taken
into consideration that the number of
English titles legally borne and ex-
elusive of what are known as the
courtesy titles of the children of the
higher ranks OF peers. do not exceed
1900, all told, for the immense British

The Kansas City Journal, discussing
the question of the publication of the
pension lists, says that many veterans
do not care who knows that they are

the Journal declares. there are many,
equally deserving, who are sensitive

Sun the following comments:

If the United States is paying pensions
to persons who are not entitled to them,
the names Of those persons ought to be
known, for its own protection, and for
the protection of the honorable name
of the honest pensioners. The Kansas
City Journal seems to suppose that q
pension is a gratuity doled out to the
poor, q charity humiliating to the re-
ceiver. Such a view is insulting TO the
honest pensioners. The wages of a sol

were not more fairly earned than are
