Fair Warming.

At one time Horace Greeley lived in
a pleasant estate on the Hudson river
1t was approached by narrow lane
from the street, says writer in the
Springfield Republican, and was four
miles out from the city hall on the
Harlem road.
The ground from the house on one
side soped down to the river; on the
other was a garden which bore fruit,
accessible to boys. On Sunday, their
day Of freedom as well as Mr. Gree
ley's, the boys sought the orchard.
Mr. Greeley never saw or heard
them. But Mrs. Greeley always saw
them, and from her place on the
piazza she would call to MIR, Greeley
20 put on his hat and deal with
them"
Mr. Greeley would never have ais,
turbed them, but he always complied
with his wife's wish-in his own time
and way. AS he slowly reached for
his hat he shouted;
Pm coming after you, boys"
OF course, not many captures were
made.

WEDDING PRESENTS.
Some Hints About How and What
md When to Send.

Il is n golden rule TO send your wed
ding gift in good time, the first to ar
rive being much more appreciated than
that which is one of the many pouring
in from all quarters during the last
week.
BY adhering to this rule you are also
saved the annoyance of hearing that
the saltcellars are charming, the third
set already received.
4 month before the wedding day is
not too early to send the present, which
should be accompanied by Il visiting
card, to he placed on the gift when dis
played among the others.
The package should be addressed to
the bride if you are intimate with both
the happy couple, and TO the brides
house, addressed to the bridegroom, if
it is he with whom you are best ac-
quainted
Most people wish TO give something
novel, useful and pretty. The future
circumstances of the happy couple
should influence the choice.
If they are going abroad, do not give
anything unsuitable TO the require
ments of the climate or so cumbcr-
some that packing and conveying it TO
its destination will amount to half the
value of the present.
If the recipients will not be particu-
larly well off, it is only kind TO select
some useful present In these days,
when artistic taste is shown in all the
neceSsaries of life, this should not be
difficult.
If the happy couple are likely to re-
ceive many presents, ii is safe to give
something which will not be amiss if
received in duplicate, such as silver
sweetmeat baskets for the dinner table
or set of afternoon teaspoons or
bronze or china ornament

Mr.. Sibley viii Look After Pensions.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
The recent new ruling of the Bureau Of
Pensions, known as Order No. rs, be-
comes operative April 18th. As there
are very large number of pensions from
the 2Sth Congressional District iavorably
effected 10y this ruling, my two secretar-
les will remain in Washington until May
10th for the purpose of filing and so far as
possible expediting any applications ad-
dressed to me prior to that date !. after
which claims may be sent to my address
at Franklin, Pa, and blank applications
will be sent upon request.
(Signed) JOSEPH c. SIBLEY.
The ruling referred to above provides
that every man who served 30 days dur
ing the late rebellion, in the service of the
United States, either in the army or navy
and has an honorable discharge, is enti.
tied to pension OF Sc per month at the.sge
of 81 years; to S per month on reaching
the age OF 65; $40 per month at 6s years,
and after 20 years to Sl2 per month.
The order takes effect April IL, l9O4,
and is not retroactive.
Proof of age will be taken from record
of enlistment, or church or Bible records.
Those who are getting a pension at
present must apply for an increase and
medical examination will be made Tor all
those under 20 years of age. The medical
examination will be made because the
pensioner applying at 81 years of age
may have disabilities which would war
rant higher rating than the s6, but he
would in any event be allowed the So per
month.
1t should be understood that this is not
an additional pension. 1t will not ben
eft those of these ages who are already
getting the amount specified.
