INSANELY UNSEtFISH,
The Only Man Who Wanted Pension Reduced
Is Insane.

Is Insane.
Commissioner of Pensions Eugene
F. Ware received letter from a man
in Illinois a few days ago in which he
said:
81 am now getting a pension OF $50
month. Recently the Lord has
prospered me and I do not think
should get so much money. l gave
my service to the country and l think
l should have some pension of course,
but ! think $50 a month is too much.
Is there any way I can have my PEN
sion reduced or suspended while l en-
joy the prosperity that is mine at
PRESENT.
This is the only letter that ever
clme to the Pension Bureau asking
for reduction of pension, and Com
missioner Ware looked at it with
much curiosity and some suspicion
After determining that the man is
really on the rolls, he wrote to the
special pension examiner in the dis.
trict in which the man lives and
asked him to investigate. This is the
answer the pension examiner sent in
reply: 8
81 have the honor to inform you
that the person who applied for a re.
duction in his pension is now in the
insane asylum at this place and has
been for some time"

With Secretary Wellcs' regulations
were also provisions for flags which
should indicate the presence on board
any vessel of the Vice President, mem
bers OF the Cabinet and Governors of
the States, but they are rarely, if ever
used. Indeed, the Presidents own
flag has been SO infrequently displayed
that when President Harrison went
up the Atlantic Coast in the Dolphin,
with his flag displayed, he was ridi-
culed by a number of prominent
newspapers, the editors of which did
not know that the custom was es-
tablished a century ago.

THE GROWING OF KlNcSHIP.
by Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate of England,
June 10Th. 1902.

by Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate OF England,
June 10th, 1902.
What do we crown and celebrate to-day?
Kingship and Empire, throned on
peaceful power;
Since to be weak is to endure the sway
Ofevery threatening hour:
Kingship symbolic of Peoples will,
Themselves born kingly. Sovrans of
the Sea.
And, like tie sea, let whatso tempests
shrill,
One, Worldwide, feared, and free:
For It's not Crown nor Sceptre men re-
we're,
But the majestic mind and regal soul,
That amid clashing clamors serve to
steer
A realm unto its goal:
Kings who, than wise counsellors yet
more wise,
Because of the calm height wherefrom
they scan
The orbit of their Empire, can surmise
Gods destiny for Man:
Who honor worth and genius, and share
Their Kingliness with nothing base or
mean,
And, at their side, One tender-souied as
fair,
A woman and Queen:
Whom. themselves simple, splendid for
the State,
And steadfast as the stars tho seasons
veer,
Priesthood can bless and poets celebrate,
With conscience clean and clear:
Whom neither ponp nor paean can be-
To slur the scutcheon of their ancient
Line,
Transmitters of Race whose Right to
Rule
Shall seem and be divine.
SO may throne-knit people long while
crown
Kingship ,and Kings, who, as the ages
run,
Heirs to Victoria's virtues. hand them
down
From sire to son, and son!

A few miles east of Cleveland, Ohio,
a test was recently made OF a new ex-
plosive known as Hathamite, the in.
vention OF Prof. H. NJ. Hathaway of
Wellsboro, Pa. The safety features
were demonstrated BY pounding the
explosive upon an anvil until the
sparks flew, throwing it upon burning
fire; placing it in tin box and firing
rifle bullets through it. The explo.
sion can only take place when dyna.
mite percussion cap is used. Circular
pieces two inches in diameter were
blown from three.sixteenth boiler
plate, cutting the plate clean, one and
one-hslf ounces of the explosive being
simply placed upon the plate and de.
tonated in the open air. A one-pound
regulation army shell was exploded
within receptacle and the shell
blown into a thousand pieces.

Don't Fret!

When things don't come along your way,
You can't hurry them by fretting;
If clouds Of care obscure your day.
You can't chase them off by fretting.
Your tears just irrigate your woe
And freshen up and help it grow;
They don't wash it out Of sight, and so
There is no use in fretting.
