There has been criticism Of the ad-
ministration of the pension bureau TO
the effect that Commissioner Evans
has endeavorcd TO keep pensioners
down TO the very lowest rates allowed
by law. This, as hts report shows, Is
not true nor has 1t been true at any
time since the act of June o. 1890
was passed. Under that act the max
imuu pension was sl2 per month, and
by far the largest number Of invalid
pensioners under that act are draw
ing the highest rate. The following
shows the division OF the list under
the act Of June 81 1890, according to
the rates allowed one hundred and
four thousand. eight hundred and thir-
ty-four receive Sc per month; 1875 29S
receive IS a month"; 3s.i52 receive so
month, and 156,2l7 receive Sl2 a

Though much attacked. the present
commissioner is well fortified behind

The fact is that the yellow journalism
of this state has lied so outrageously

texts that it has become a fad of other
states to jeer at the infamy of Penn

MY LADY.

White and wide her sweet brow curves
Meath a shadow soft and deep
As a bright birds wing, that serves
In the sky its flight TO sweep.
Fearless eyes, So dear and true,
With a smile within their light,
That you'd trust the whole world through
Leading into noon or night,
Tender heart she hears alwayS,
Whether woes are yours or mine,
Or the sad worlds (hriehter day
Ever is for hesrt-sunshine),
You Will know her when YOU meet
Wlitest brow and truest eyes,
