There is II great difference between
the man behind the glass and the man
behind the bar, 80 far as situation il
concerned, but not SO much difference
otherwise. The one is in possession,
and the other is possessed. When
boy, used to wander about the streets
when | visited the city, and felt n
panG of envy gnawing Mt tho ham
strings of my soul every time | beheld
II well dressed, we'll feel, sleek headed.
gentleman sitting inside the flower
bespangled windows of his own home.
No king was greater in my unso-
phisticated mind than this man behind
the glass. He may have been behind
with his grocery bill, behind with his
tailor. behind the times i'll his ideas
and behind in his education. but he
was the great man in possession. At
home we were obliged to remove paps
old hat from the gsping aperture be
fore We could look out of the parlor
window, and window with plate glass
in ii was almost the glory of the golden
gods to my conntrytied eyes. In those
days ! imagined that to sit in one's
own home with window wide enough
and clean enough for the people to SEQ
through from the sidewalk md behold
the gold filing in ones teeth, wns as
near heaven as any one could get with
| his pillow shoes on. Looking at tho
man behind the glass with 40 much
envy and admiration finally turned my
/ brain and set my alf-starved imagina
ton TO working overtime, and | took
the first opportunity that came along
to get behind glass and look out over
the world with mn elevated head and 4
heart bedoo2led with aristocratic i'm
portance, True, they were cheap
glasses, costing only five cents each,
| but their durability was so brief and
the amber color leaked out SO fast that
1T required new front glass every
| fifteen minutes. All can yet recol-
lect how my head was dazzled with
this found halo of glory, and how
my hopes rose and my heart throbbe d
with 10 cent throba as | looked ont
over the people and let my gaze rest
languidly on the portrait of FitZ-
simmons suspended over the bar.

FROM THsFlRsr WARD.

As | said week before last, still
want to say moro upon the pension
question. From the starting of this
government M to date there has been
issued something over nine hundred
thousand pension certificates to sol
diers and sailors. No one ever gets Il
number that has been used before,
consequently the number goes higher
each year and today. perhaps, there
are less bonatide pensioners ON the
list than there were five years ago.
Tho secretary of the pension depart
ment tells each year, over big and
flowing headlines, how many new
certificates he has issued in the pnst
year. but fails to tell how many has
been dropped from the roll on account
of death, &e. But | will venture to
say that for every new certificate is
sued there have been three dropped in
the past year from the above cause.
Now, all the old soldiers want is fair
deal from our government, for if il had
not been for these old soldiers there
would not have been any government
of these glorious United States. The
money raised to pay these pensions is
not raised by direct taxation and con
sequently ia not felt by the citizens of
the country. The money goes 10
class who immediately put it into cir
enlation. There always was, and
perhaps always will be, class who
denennce this pension business rs n
fraud upon our government We be
heye there may be some fraud practic-
ed IN this pension business and some
may receive pensions out of nil pro-
portion To their disability, but these
instances are very rare. while many
we can name are not receiving
one-hall what they should receive, |
will have more to say III the future
upon this question.

D. 1ahonsy Kills E. Farrell While
Out for q Walk.

4 A fatal accident occurred at Solo
I mon Wednesday night in which Elmer
Farrell, aged about 10, an employe OF
the U. P. ballast crew, was killed.
Farrell and Dennis Mahoney, aged
about 2l, went out walking with Miss
Rowe and Miss Cburchman. Farrell
and Miss Churchman we're ahead aud
Mahoney and Miss Rowe behind.
When they started a 44-calibre re-
volver belonging to Miss Rowe was
taken along, Mahoney carrying it in
his pocket. When in the west part
Of town and about 9 o'clock Mahoney
dropped the revolver on the sidewalk.
He picked it up aud in doing SO it
was accidentally discharged, the ball
striking Farrell under the shoulder
on the right side and coming out un-
der the collar bone on the opposite
side.
Farrell died about 6 O'Clock last
Light. His mother who resides at St.
Marys came up yesterday Farrell
was unable TO talk much and when
asked IL it was an accident is reported
to have been unable to say.
Mahoney gave himself up at once
to Marshal Ed Butcher and was
brought here and lodged in Jail,
though the accident really occurred
over the line in Saline county.
1t was decided to hold no inquest.
The accident was in Saline county
and the death in Dickinson. The
officers Of both counties refused to
prosecute under the circumstances
and Mahoney was discharged and
went home today. we
The affair is very deplorable but is
considered by all as purely accidental
and due only to carelessness in. hand
