Death Cuts Pension Force.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Commissioner
of Pensions Warner is reducing the
cost of administering the pension office
by cutting down his clerical force. He
has abolished the appointment divis-
ion and ordered the former chief of
this division to be required to do duty
as pension examiner and has assign
ed the clerks Of this division to other
bureaus. The appointment clerk was
dispensed with because there is no
use for his services as no more APP
pointments are being made in the per-
sion office. The force is being reduc-
ed constantly, but the commissioners is
not Diminishing any Of his clerks. He
has adopted the plan of not filling the
vacancies created by the death and
resignation of the clerks. Many of the
employees in the pension office are old
soldiers, and they are dropping off at
a rapid rate.

"Too bad father has to go to bed at

"Wonder if he goes to sleep right

: Important Decisions
CARRIERS.

The plaintiff desiring to become a
passenger of a car, signaled to the
motorman, who checked it's speed. The
plaintiff then attempted to board the
car while it was still in motion. The
court said in this case: 1T is i'm
portant to determine just when the
relation of carrier and passenger be-
gins. The theory is that there 1lust
be an offer and an acceptance to a
consensual relation, not to contract
state, for it is we'll settled that car
rier owes a public duty independently
of contract. The opinion supported by
the weight of authority considers the
signal to the motorman as the offer
and the checking of the car as the &C
ceptance. To hold otherwise would be
unfair to the person boarding the car
since thereby the highest care would
be denied when most needed" Held,
that the plaintiff was passenger
while in the act of boarding the car.

BILLS AND NOTES.
The drawee of foreign check, pay
able to bearer, sues the first indorser
on the theory that such indorser was
negligent in cashing check for a
stranger without identification and
giving it circula ton. Payment was
made by the plaintiffs cashier in reli-
ance upon the Endorsement rather than
upon the signature of the drawer. The
cashier was we'll acquainted with the
drawers signature. Held: That de-
cree for complainant should be re-
versed. The case presents the inter-
esting spectacle of one party, who has
been grossly negligent, and thereby
sustains loss, seeking to recover from
another, not the party to such negli-
gence. on the ground that the loss was
due to other negligence on the part of
the latter.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed

ocean are bird cities inhabited by
birds alone. Gardeners Island at the ex-
tremity of Long Island, is the place
where the fish hawks come during
their breeding time, and owing to the
friendly attitude of the family living
on the island, the ospreys have become
very tame, and build their nests upon
the ground instead of in the high trees.
In the Indian River, Florida, is a
small island called Pelican Island. 1t
received its name through being one of
the favorite settlements for the peli-
cans during their nesting season.
Away up in the mouth of the st.
Lawrence river is the famous Bird
Rock, "the greatest bird tenement
house in the world" as one naturalist
expresses it. This rock rises abruptly
from the water, and In its formidable
clefts thousands and thousands Of
Northern seabirds dwell-the snowy
feathered gannets. On the crest of this
rock rises lighthouse, whose keeper
is on the best of terms with his count
less feathered neighbors.
These bird cities, or settlements, are
under the protection of the American
Onithological union.

There the Indian boy sat upright
in the canoe, folded his arms. and
faced the mist Of the falls.
Faster and faster went the canoe.
and at last Waukewa began to chant
the death song which he had learned
from the older braves.
He had lived like brave, now he
would die like one.
Suddenly there was a shadow across
the canoe and Waukewa looked UP,
there was an eagle lowering low. With
a glad cry he stood up in the canoe
and caught the eagles feet.
Just then the canoe went over the
falls and the eagle was struggling
with it's burden through the mist.
The great wings threshed the air
with whistling sound.
Lower and lower they sank until at
last they dropped on sand bar.

was trimmed with punches Of violets,
and had a fine bow Of scarlet ribbon,
and wide white ribbon strings.
Sarah Jones wore it with a white
dotted veil.

Mamma consented. so off went Sarah

strange garments, she struggled away
from Dorothy, and filed through the
dining room and out of an open win

The little plaid shawl caught on the

breeze. The beautiful bonnet sagged
over her right ear, but the white veil
and the satin strings kept it in place.
