Mr.. Kent read the following from

1t Is matter Of sincere regret that
MI. Walter B. Hestor, the famous special
correspondent Of The New York Record,
left this city on cruise through the
Mediterranean shortly before this out
rage occurred. All westbound steamers
have been requested to communicate the
facts to MI. Hestor. in order that his
services may be secured at the earliest
possible moment. No journalist living is
better qualified to unravel mystery OF
this character, and The Record hopes to
be able to announce the cooperation Of

the selection of steaks and wines.
The poor fellow is as crazy as bug

perfectly clear on Scotch whisky and
cigars. By the way, Pence, did you
read those articles about your will?
One of the papers say you leave $685.

and another says your entire fortune
will be devoted to socialist univer-

that your money is left to INDECENT

there any truth in it?"
Simon Pence looked up over his
steel-rimmed spectacles and he smiled
at his questioner in a good-natured
way.
"You are too old man, Kent, to
believe everything you see in news

to his reading.

Will Interest Brewers.

A few weeks ago the legis-
lature passed a bill per-
mitting brewers outside of the
state to establish cold storage
plants in this state upon the payment
OF $50 for each such plant. The
senate in committee of the whole
recently put through a bill which
will recall that measure. Michigan
brewers evidently found that the
bill passed encouraged competition
with the home concerns and the
senate took the bill passed by the
house last week, making outside
wholesale liquor dealers pay the
same tax as local dealers, and made
it apply to breweries.

He is the man who when a council of men is called
sits in perfect terror for fear his opinion may be
asked on the subject under discussion.
There is only paliating circumstance IN
this vacillatng mans pendulous life. He does not
like to offend anyone. 1t has never struck him
that nobody cares pcayune for his opinion, but
he is so afraid that he may lose a friend.
He is continually skipping from pillar to post
and he never finds resting place If he did light
he would be afraid that he had dspleased the oil
spot of the earth that had not felt his feather
weight.
He has just one excuse for living, and that is
he is afraid to offend either of the powers of the be-
yond by expressing preference as to where he
would like to spend eternity. And when the end
comes he lays himself gently down and breathes his
last breath with the faint hope that no one is put
out by his daring for once to assert himself.

THE NEGATIVE MAN.

The negative man is met with very much more
frequently in political, business and social circles
than is appreciated. He generally the kind of a
man of whom his women friends speak as "a real
nice man." And he is nice, just as nice as he can
be, only he has not enough determination to know
it himself.
This undecided man is so very uncertain He
is never known to express opinion unless it strict
ly concurs with that of the person to whom he is
talking
If by any sad perchance he is between two fires
he burns low and dies out quickly without ever
committing himself
Perhaps you have noticed this negative man in
Palatka. He is here. People were talking about
him last week when the bridge question came up for
re discussion.
1t is positively painful for the negative man to
have to express himself decidedly
He is perfectly helpless unless he has a guiding
star ana he falls by the wayside when sides are nm
even and he is expected to take one or the other.
Among business men he is an uncertain factor.

PENSION CORRUPTION.

In the Spansh-American war in Cuba a total of
243 were killed on our side, including those who
died from wounds.
Only about 10000 soldiers in all went to the
scene of brief conflict.
Yet 900 claims for pensions have already
been allowed and more than 10000 applications
have been filed. This according to recent state
ment from the pension department.
1t is already clear that the pensions for this lit
tie war will cost more than the war itself, for,
while the war was over, the pensions will drag
on for years and years
Civil war pensions, forty years after the war,
are about as numerous as they ever were. Cuban
veterans promise an even longer lease of life, for
they were picked young men, Fifty years from
now it will be no uncommon thing, perhaps, for the
government 80 pay Spanish war pensions to depen-
dent widows who are not yet born.
1t is utterly impossible, of course, that 10000
of the men who enlisted in the Spanish war, and
only 5000 of whom ever got to the front, should
have been sufficiently disabled to Justify their de-
mand for pensions.
The thing is becoming scandal that seriously
reflects upon the patriotism and honesty of the
men whom the nation would like to regard as ideal
citizens 1t is bad enough to know that the govern
ment is defrauded but it is still to know that
soldiers who might have fought brGvely, had the OPP
portunity been offered, can stoop to such papabe
attempt at fraud.
The fault is, no doubt, mostly in the pension
department. The granting of one false claim
breeds many other false claims. The ease with
which fraudulent pension can be secured encour-
ages men to put in claims they would not have
thought of offering if sure to be subjected to close
and honest scrutiny.
There is a seductiveness about pension hard
to be resisted. And the looseness of the pension
department is corrupting into sneaks and perurers
many who might otherwise be regarded as the best
men in the nation.
1t is fraud that should have laid upon it the
heavy hand.
