better liar than a man because she can stick
to false story longer and with a greater

however women are truthful and their evil

there are some women, Just the same as

Judge w. w. Slabaugh---As a general
proposition women are more truthful than
men. and at the same time they are more
willing TO sacrifice the truth in an endeavor
TO save what Is dear n them. Take a
woman and put her on the witness stand
to testify in case where her sons liberty
Is at stake and tho mothers love will get
the better OF truth every time. Women
are naturally eXtremists-not conservative
like men. When she undertakes TO do right
she goes the limit and that is why there
are so many more women than there are
men actively engaged in charitable and
philanthropic work. When she goes wrong
she goes TO the extreme in that direction
Social conditions Go not allow bad women
the same opportunities TO be good az times
that the bad men enjoy When We speak
OF the good women, however, We must admit
that they adhere to the truth better than
DO the good men. II a woman gives false

THE PENSION BURDEN.

From the Pittsburg Post: The pen
sion bill now before congress carries
s145, 245, 230, and is the largest one on
record. 1t exceeds-thirty-six years
after the close of the civil war-the
aggregate payments for pensions dur
ing the five years from 1879 to 1883. It
nearly equals the expenditures of the
federal government for all purposes,
excluding interest on the public debt,
in 1871, only 80 years ago. 1t is more
than five times the amount the coun-
try was paying for pensions in thir-
teen years after the end of the civil
war. There are a round million names
now on the pension list. The total
number of new claims allowed last
year was 4o,645, excseding by more
than 1000 the reduction occasioned in
the roll by the deaths OF old pensioners
sc years after the end of the civil
war. Including with pension our mill
tary and naval appropriations, our war
budget amounts to more than that of
either France, Germany, Russia or
Great Britain with their immense
standing armies. War taxes are heavier
in the United States than in any ma
ton of Europe

Stale bread and poor steak,

From a speech by Senator Teller in
the senate. january f. 4 have not
agreed with everybody in this fear. of
imperialism Two years ago last
month said in my place here in the
senate that there would not be any
Imperialism IN, the Philippines. The
American people would not allow it.
But since then l have seen. in those
Islands an imperial government that
has no equal on earth, no counterpart
anywhere under heayen-an imperial
government there with five men, and
five men only. strangers to the Ian
guage of the country, strangers to the
ceuatry itself, unacquainted with the
Interests of its people, sitting and ad-
ministering government, taking the
money of the people and approprlating
it without their consent, ignoring the
people entirely.
The car of Russia is an absolute
ruler. He has a council of sixty men
who sit with him and consider public
Russians. They are the people of the
country. They have their sympathies
and their ambitions for Russia. But
these men now sitting and swaying
things in the Philippine islands are
strangers in that land. Under military
law they have right there undoubt-
eddy. but under Gods law they have
no place or right there at all.
$50 take back what said here two
years ago. Imperialism has come, has
come in its worst form, and what
want to know, along with the Senator
from Maryland (Wellington), is, What
you are about to do now? Are you
going to keep up this imperialistic gov
eminent? Are you going to continue
attempting to govern 100000 OF
people contrary to their wish, without
a voice from them or a chance to be
heard, and that, too, when your CHIEF
actor upon the ground, General Mac
Arthur, tells you that the people OF
those islands are a unite against the
administration, and when every Fill
Pine in Europe today, where there are
thousands of them, is against our gov
eminent? What are you going to do?
To which question city and state, OF
Philadelphia, makes this brief but
comprehensive reply:
THE one thing to do, which we be-
lieve the people of this land will soon
er or later get ready to do peremLtor-
lily, is to demand that we as nation
quit our meanness, get out of that land
where we have only a Fictitious right
to be, and atone, SO far as we can, or
make good in the fullest way possibly,
for the ravages we have committed,
the monstrous wrongs we have
wrought. 1t will cost not a little to
do that, but unless all the lessons OF
history are false, and rectitude Is all
a dream, it will cost prodigiously more
in the long run not to do it

The following examination code is
suggested for would-be sporting men
who aspire to the use of the gun: 'Is
this a gun or a walking cane? If
neither. how do you know? At which
end of the gun do you take your stand
as the deer hops by? By which end
should the hunter draw loaded gun to
him? Should the shell be taken from
the gun before or after leaving home?
Do you consider the gun more danger
Gus with load in it? If so, why are so
many deer killed by unloaded guns, and
SO few by loaded ones? When you
chuck gun into wagon or over a
fence, would you be too proud to jump
behind tree? When you reach the
hotel with your carload of game, would
you shoot the neighbours boy immedi-
ately, or only leave the gun where he
could get it and shoot you or his Sis
er?-Jacksonville Times-Union.

A HOPELESS CASE.

He was just a common sinner,
But he'd buy a tramp a dinner,
An he'd sort O. try to put him on his
feet!
An a Teller might be needy
An his raiment worn and seedy,
Yet he'd stop an visit with him in the
street.
He made no ado about it
Wouldn't brag around ner shout it,
Yet he did a heap to help his fellow
men:
When he'd find a fallen brother,
In some easy way or other
He would make him organize himself
again,
He had money. an he spent it,
En- he give away err lent it;
Seemed ez if the more he lost the more
he got;
Made all sorts O. big donations,
Helped support his poor relations,
An he bought an orphan school, a
house, an lot.
Never heard o him shoutin',
Ner a-settin' round a-spoutin'
Bout the everlastin' wickedness O.
things;
But he just went on a findin'
Deeds to do an never mindin'
Much about a crown er harp with
golden strings.
Yet the deacon's folks-it's very
Hard to say it-they was merry
When at last death came an caught
him in the lurch;
Fer they knowd the devil got i'm,
An it served him right, dod rot i'm,
Fer he never had united with the
