THAT WASHINGTON CANTEEN.

The old soldiers of Summit county
who have had applications for pen
sions pending in the department at
Washington for anything from one to
ten years were highly elated to read
the following glowing dispatch to the
orthodox Cleveland Leader last week
giving an account of how business is
done under the supervision of the
beloved II. Clay Evans:
mot long ago, ii. Clay Evans, the
Commissioner Of Pensions, inspired
with the commendable idea Of improv.
ing the morale of the Pension office
force, issued notice that men who
would indulge in the use of intoxi.
cnnts in a Bacchanallan quantity would
not be countenanced, and that on gen.
eral principles drinking men were not
desirable employees.
His astonishment may be imagin-
ed, therefore, Mt the discovery that a
"speak-easy" had been in operation
In his bureau for some time. The in.
stitution was conducted on the CO.
operative plan, those Interested In IL
pooling their issues and furnishing
the spirits in turn, But 1t is now
closed for repairs, and this Is how 1t
happened.
Several days ago IL was noticed that
certain clerks were under the in1u-
enece of liquor during office hours.
Inquiry developed the fact that they
came to the office perfectly sober, and
from some unknown source obtained
sufficient lntoXlcant to become drunk.
When the matter was reported to the
Commissioner he decided upon a thor
ough investigation. One man, whose
connlvial habits were well known, was
Tuesday morning with the glow of
youth upon his cheeks, and was car
rled home In a mnudlln condition.
But before he left he was lnterrognt,
ed, and upon genteel persuasion di-
vulged the name of the man who fur
nlshed the liquor. This individual
was then called, and his deposition
taken He remembered giving man a
drink, but could not say positively IL
1t was the accuscr Asked why that
was, he replied 1t was too dark to DIS
tlnguish features,
"It was then learned that tho file
room under the roof was the meeting
place of the booze as these men
have been dubbed At certain hours
each day they would meet in the uncer,
tain light OF the flle room and, after
some such question as is that you,
BillY used as counterslgn, would
pass the bottle and the rest was easy.
THE investigation has taken many
ramifcatlons and It Ia believed that
no less than atty clerks are involved.
Whenever deposition is taken some
new name Is added to the list. II IL
believed that several dismissals and
many suspensions will follow"
Speaking Of army canteens, the can,
teen in the Pension department at
Washington seems to put the much-
criticised Philippine canteens In the
shade.

PIONEER
Had Lived In TaIImadqe
Over so Years.
Mr.. Homer S. Carter Died at His
Home In Tallmadqe.


Homer s. Carter, one of the pioneers
of Summit county, died at his home In
Tallmadge, at o'clock Sunday after
noon. Mr.. Carter was born in Connec-
tlcut, April 6, 1917. When he was 21
years of age he came to Ohio. He was
attracted to this locality by tn Cros-
by Race plan to bring the water Of
Cuyahoga river to the old chuckery
After looking over the scheme, Mr.
Carter concluded that 1t was not safe
investment. He then settled In Tall
madge, and for many years conducted
a general store. Perhaps no man in
Northern Ohio ever purchased as
much wool and pork from the farm
ers as did Mr.. Carter. For several
years he has lived retired life. His
last illness covers n period of two
week. His death was due to hoemate-
mesis and old age.
Besides wife, he leaves three sons
and a daughter, all of whom were
present during his last illness. They
are: Rev. Homer w. Carter, Of Be-
lott, Wis; Prof. III. II. Carter, of the
Oberln conservatory, Oberlin, o.; DR.,
G.. u. Carter, of Bellevue hospital,
New York city, and Miss Mary A..
Carter, Of Tallmadge.
The funeral will be held at the house
at $3.50 o'clock Tuesday morning.

RUBAIYAT OF THE EMPIRE.
Written for the Johnston (Pa.) Democrat
by the Laureate

We long to hack and mangle living
And strew their corpses over field and fen
TO feed the vnlture and the beast Of prey;
Oh, let us kill and let us make payl
H.
The harvest now is waiting for the bold;
There's land to seize and riches yet untold
Thou shalt not kill, except for land and gold;
Then let gloat in slaughter every day;
Oh, let us kin and let US make 1t pay
Ill.
We like the sport of hunting human game.
What keen delight to shoot and kill and main
The human herd that flies like frightened sheep
Up, up through bloody guches high and steepl
The game OF var is earnest, thrilling play
Oh, let us kill and let make itpay.
w.
IL Filipnos yet resist the yoke,
Then let them their homes 60 up in smoke
And let us take religion for cloak
Proclaim ourselves disciples Of the Lord
And spread the blessed gospel with the sword;
Nor stop nor stay the hand that's raised to slay
On let us kill and let make it pay!
1t ought to be and is our soldiers will
That all should go to heaven whom we kill;
But still no heather rebel shall be spared;
The fault is his If he is unprepared,
When we see fit to set his spirit free
And watt his soul into eternity
Then carve his corpse-his humble house Of clay
We mean to kill and mean to make it pay
VI
The king that rules the world today is might;
There is no myth more shadowy than right;
The race of man only made to fight
Then let us hear more Of right wrong;
Let spols enrich and glory crown the strong.
We are the Rome the Rome Of modern birth
Let our mighty armies shake the earth,
And as the weaker nations pass away,
They leave their land, they give US greater sway
Then let US kill and let make it pay.
