He Was Insane,

A representative from New York en-
joys nothing better than to recount q
story which, he declares, he had from
an official in the pension bureau. One
day, so the tale runs. the bureau was
in receipt of an extraordinary commu-
nication from the west, in which the
writer, among other things, made this
astounding statement:
II am now drawing a pension of $25
a month. Recently the Lord has pros
pered me; so, being convinced that
am not entitled Of right to this money,
I desire that my name be stricken of
the roll"
AS soon as the bureau recovered in
a measure from this staggering intel
ligence an investigation was set on
foot. The examiner in the field re-
ported as follows:
II have the honor to inform you that
the person who desired that the name
be stricken from the pension roll is
now in an insane asylum in this place
and has been for some time"
