The Yoke by Elizabeth Miller Pub

A thorough acquaintance with an

Ell by Miss Elizabeth Miller, The Yoke,
recently published by the Dobbs- Mer-

story of the bondage of the children
of Israel and the exodus from the land
of Egypt and Moses, Aaron, Miriam,
Caleb and other familiar Old Tesla

The Mosaic history is followed faith

Service Pensions Again.

The Washington correspondent of a
New York paper says that serious
consideration is being given propos-
ition that the pension office shallbroad-
en- by Interpretation thescoup of ex-
listing laws so as to give service pen
SONS to the soldiers of the civil war.
In this way the necessity for the enact
ment of service pension legislation by
congress will be obviated-
It is intimated that some of the lead
ers' favor this procedure. mainly be
cause it will shift responsibility for an
unpopular measure from the legislative
to the executive department of the gov
eminent.
It may be asked how the pension Of
flee can lawfully give pensions to sold
iers who are not entitled to them by
any act of congress. The answer is
that in interpreting pension law it is
the rule of the office to regard all acts
as practically one act An act of 1887,
thirty-nine years after the close OF the
Mexican war, allows all veterans or the
Mexican war who have reached the age
of GO a pension of IS a month. 1t would
be an accumulation to gentlemen who
dislike the labor and publicity connected
with forcing pension service Dill
| through congress if the pension office
would hold that the act of 1887 implied
a desire on the part of congress that
pensions shall be given to all veterans
who have reached the age of g., thirty
/ nine years after the war in which they
fought 1t is now almost thirty-nine
years since the civil war ended
1t is said that the attention of the
commissioner of pensions has been call
ed to the subject. He will be a most
I liberal constructionist if he considers
that he has authority under the act of
1887 to grant pensions which congress
has been asked in vain on several oc-
casions to give. Tt is impossible to con-
ceive of a. trained lawyer expanding the
Mexican war act in the manner sug-
gested. If executive officers could
stretch laws after that fashion they
would become the real legislators.
The congressman who favor service
pensions must face the music They
cannot get the pension office to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for them.
If any fingers are to be burned their
must suffer If they are shrewd they
will drop the subject altogether.

of book The story opens on the deck

action takes place on the boat. The
heroine. a pretty American heiress, on
her way to England with her mother
where she is to be carried to an Eng

the steamer company as THE Rogue"
because he wins all the other fellows

first chapter. Also a hint is given OF
the plot Half way across the Atlantic
something happens to the propeller or
some other part of the steamer and its
progress is retarded sufficiently to give
the American heiress and The Rogue
time and opportunity TO fall in love
with each other, as the astute reader
has foreseen from the first that they
would do. The course of true love full
fills all its customary eccentricfties, but
the tangle is finally Strengthened out
and all ends happily. The book has
