THE soNo OF THE R,LL

Went dancing On Its way.
And ever. as II ran. II sang
This blithcsome little lay:

Where chilly uinAs blow.
On. on toward the ocean.

Ger rocky cliffs leaIing,

And the rougher tho journey.
The louder 1 sing

Grow strong and deep and wide.
When 10! II turned a busy mill.
And yet its glad voice cried:
oh. happy. thrice happy
The stream that can do
Some good as II Journeys
This weary world throughi
When duty Is pleasure
And pleasure IL duty,
Then life Is all Eladness
And sunshine and beauty"
a river now the stream became.
And winters chains had bound
An Icy sheet upon its breast.
And yet 1 heard a sound:
The breath OF the Frost King
Has silenced my voice.
But down in the darkness
i yet may rejoice.
While winter is raging
In sleet and I'm storm.
Out OF sight I'm ny bosom
My heart is still warm"
AZ last the river found the sea-
And with its might and main
Took up the song the ocean sang.
And this was its refrain:
The mountains and moorlands,
The isles OF the sea,
The winds and the waters
Are happy and free.
It's the spirit within US
That sings or Is sad:
Oh. hearts of Gods children,
Sing. sing, and be glad!'

PENSION ABUSES. Examining Surgeons May Be Placed Under Civil Service Rules.

Washington Special Philadelphia Press.
 There is reason to believe that Presi- dent Roosevelt will take early action to put the examining surgeons in pension cases under the civil service rules There are about three thousand of these sur geons scattered over the country, and great complaint is made at the Pension Oficc concerning some of their careless work. It is said that Commissioner Ev- ans received not lcng ago a lot Of papers regarding the physical condition of twen- ty persons who applied for pensions The ticn Of the country. and were all exam ined by the same surgeons; and in ev- cry one of the twenty s.ases the surgeons gave the questionable status of these twenty men as due to heart disease.
 The extraordinary assertnon that twen- ty men. examined at one time for pen siens, all had heart disease. led Com tiOn and cause examinations to be made by other surgeons, when 1t was ascer- tained that not single one of the twen- ty applicants had heart disease. In an- ether instance, long ago. Commissioner Evans had certain persons examined by different boards of surgeons, and In ev- cry case the boards differed as to what was the matter with the applicants, all that the applicants ought to be pension ed but giving different reasons why that should be done. An entire overhauling of this branch of the pension service Is
 
 . The pension attorneys who have been making such fight against Commission CT Evans, because of his opposition to their methods of getting fees from appli- trust. An attorney living in Washington has sent to the pension attorneys throughout the country blank powers of attorney and assignment and articles Of agreement, which provide that those att torneys shall assign. transfer and set over to this Washington attorney all their right, title and interest in and to an attorney fee of $10 in each case, as United States in connection with appli~ cations for increase of pension, not on ac- count of increase of the disability for which the pension had previously been allowed, filed and adtudicated, In Which g fee was certified"
 The act of Congress provided that pen- sion attorneys in claims for increase or pensions shall not receive fee to ex- where new disabilities were discovered they are entitled to S10 in each case instead of the &2 as fixed by statute. The blanks sent out by the Washington from all the other attorneys to compel the Commissioner tn pay B in every case where only $2 has been paid heretofore That would take large sum of money from the pensioners to make up these al legged fees heretofore earned.
 Approximately, there have been 2ll,06l applications for increase under the act of June 27. 1890, adjudicated since March 8. 1891. If the attorney should succeed in compelling the Commissioner of Pen- sions to certify the additional fee of % in each case, it would take from the soldiers and sailors the sum of at least $, 000. GOO.
 The men engaged in this effort get a large sum from needy veterans who have been the leaders in tho effort to get Com missioner Evans removed.

COFFEE FOR MOTHERS.
The Kind That Nourishes and Sup plies Food for Mother and Child.

My husband has been unable to drink coffee for several years. so were very glad to give Postum Food Coffee trial and when we un- derstood that by long boiling 1t would bring out the delicious flavor. we have been highly pleased with 1t.
 It is one of the finest things for nursing mothers that have ever seen. It keeps up the mothers strength and increases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. I drank 1t between meals instead Of Water and found it most beneficial
 Our 5-year-old boy has been very delicate since birth and has developed slowly. He was white and bloodless. began to give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improvement we never fail to tell them that we attribute his gain in strength and general health to the free use of Postum Food Coffee and this has led many friends to use 1t for themselves and children.
 have always cautioned friends to whom I have spoken about Postunn, to follow directions in making it. for unless 1t is boiled fifteen or twenty minutes, 1t Is quite tasteless. On the other hand. when properly made, It is very delicious l want to thank you for the benefits we have derived from the use of your Postum Coffee" Mrs. W. w.

IT WAS MOVING DAY
A Great Many Families Changed Their Places of Abode Yes,
 terdaY

Yesterday was moving day-a day dreaded by those who had decided to change their places of residence. While there was a great deal Of moving yes terday, still 1t Is said by real estate men that tf ere was not as much as last year. particularly among the business men. The number of families who did move tacxd the supply of drays and the trans fer men and the street drays were in their glory as is usual on October l. The day dawned dark and cloudy and about Il o'clock 1t commenced to rain. The sprinkle lasted only about a half hour and then the sun came out and the bal ance of the day was ideal for moving There are many disturbed households in Montgomery today for the fpSniture of home can not be moved and replaced in order in one day. and 1t requires several days and sometimes week for every- thing to be running smoothly again.
 There are still few vacant houses in Montgomery, but it is expected that they will be rented before the end of the week. There have been a great many new houses erected during the past year. and this accounts for the new houses left over. Still new families are moving to Montgomery every few days, and before long every house will have a tenant.

Wyeth City and Gunters- ville are practically the, same towns. and there Is a depot at the former place. but 1t is some distance from the heart of the latter town, and the people want the de- pot as a matter of convenience and, as they claim. justice to them. The matter has not been determined. but will prob ably be settled by next Monday, when the regular monthly meeting of the Com mission will be held.
