father had occasion to call up his
mother in Atlanta on the long distance
telephone to give her some important
news, including the fact that the baby

She expressed desire to hear the

PENSION FRAUDS.
A Numerous Class Always Looking
For a Chance to "Graft."

Washington, D. G., July 29.-For
specimens of unadulterated nerve the
records of the pension Office furnish a
never failing supply. The variety Of
forms it takes is unlimited. In some
of the letters received it rises to almost
sublime heights, while in others 1t Is
lowly audacious. Almost all of the
communications are unique in one way
or another.
In one you will find a touch of sad
ness; in another quaint humor. One
of the officials connected with the
bureau said recently:
'.rhe maw of the public is ever open.
You cannot satisfy it. 1t wants any
thing apd everything. that is not nailed
down. The fight for pensions is un-
ending. Unquestionably the vast
majority of the people with whom we
deal are worthy of all the government
can do for them, but we meet, also, so
many cases that are absolutely
without merit tina. we become hard
ened. Life is certainly a great game
and the pension office is good place
from which to view It,"
Some Of the letters received at the
pension Office are intended to be pa
thetic, but they are written in such a
way that they call forth laughter in
stead of tears.
A widow whose husbands claim had
been rejected, the War Department
showing that his disability existed long
before enlistment, wrote recently:
MY husband was terribel bloated
In his stomach. 1t did not look like
himself. He could not stoop over and
straighten mp without helping himself

Hitherto Bearded and Mustached Po-
icemen Appear Smooth Shaver.

Summer is near-not only. as evidenced
by the green foliage which decks the Ma
tons Capital, its numerous trees and
shrubbery, but the best evidence Of the
approach Of warm weather, sign which
is sure one and one that never fails, is
the shaving OF by q score Of this city's
policemen of boards and Eustaches,
which have stood the siege Of winter.
Every year the approach of summer can
be noted in this manner The warm
weather is just about On, when the wear
eTs Of the blue begin to do away with
their handsomely curled mustaches or
their neatly trimmed military boards.
/ Many Of them have their boards grow to
protect their faces from the intense cold

the sign Of warm weather the razors and
scissors are at once put into operation

This fact accounts for the many youth
