Will Give the Money
to a Needy Little
Girl.

Eugene F. Ware. of Topeka, Iron
quill" former Commissioner Of Pen
sions. genius. eccentric. and Htterateur,
who used to issue general orders in
verse at the Pension Office. and who
looked after the interests Of nearly a
million pensioners while he would not
apply for the pension that he had him
self earned, has changed his mind. He
has asked for a pension. and he did II
in plain prose.
It caused a real sensation at the big
Pension Bureau when 1t was noised
about that Deputy Commissioner Dav-
export had received IN a personal letter
from the former commissioner an appli-
cation for pension. Mr.. Ware doesn't
believe in the pension system, though
he does believe IN pensions for really
needy and deserving soldiers. But he
always drew a line Of distinction His
theory is that a man who served his
country well, and whom the country af-
terward served so well that he does
not need the pension, ought not ask It
Having plenty OF money OF his own,
he would never Join the army Of pen
sioners.
But he has reformed. Under the new
pension INV winch gives a pension 70
every Aonorably discharged soldier who
served ninety days. when he reaches
sixty-twO years of age Mr.. Ware is
entitled to So a month. IN applying for
IL he wrote that he had never expected
TO ask his pension, but that there was
a little girl in Topeka. whose brother
is a soldier in the Philippines, and Is
her sole support. 4 am going 20 take
this pension in my own name. because
I can't get It III her name he wrote,
and turn il over TO her"
Deputy Commissioner Davenport
promptly announced that this was the
best excuse he had yet observed. for
Ware wrote some verse, and said he
would at once send the letter back TO
the former commissioner. with the re-
quest that the application and the ex-
PLANTATION be submitted In appropriate
rhyme and meter Meanwhile there will
be no delay about approving the pen
sion.
APTopos of the new pension act, II IS
stated that the unWillingness Of large
number of weli-to-do pensioners to have
their names published as such IS re-
sponsible for the withdrawal Of the
rule OF making public lists Of persons
as they are placed on the rolls. This
information Is now denied to the news
papers. Many thousands Of rich men
draw pensions, and among the people
applying under the new act II Is said
the majority Of new pensioners are OF
this class.

Officials Of the Jamestown Exposition
Company are facing the proposition or
sending a couple OF steamships to Wash
ington TO carry 10 Norfolk and back TO
this city the large number OF Govern
ment OFFICIALS and others who have been
specially invited by the exposition Of
ficiaIs to attend the opening Of the show
on Hampton Roads April IS.
This turn Of affairs has become neces-
sary through the War Department an
nouncing that the army transports
asked for this purpose cannot be
used. The exposition company has in
vited several hundred persons from
Washington, including officials Of the
State, War. and Navy and other depart
nents, Senator's and Representatives. as
well as all the foreign diplomats ae-
credited TO this country. Aside from
these, a number of persons prominent
socially or in a business way are includ-
cd in the list.
A Semi Official Party.
The marty ostensibly was to be a Gov
eminent marty. inasmuch as the major
ffv OF the members OF it viii be Gov
eminent OFFICIALS or foreign diplomats.
Accordingly, the jamestown people took
the stand that it was up TO the Gov
eminent TO provide the transportation
for it's guests.
The matter was laid before Secretary
Taft shortly before his departure for
Panama, and now. il develops, he Is
sued orders the day OF his departure
that the transports should not and could
not legally be applied 70 such use
The TRANSPORTS asked Tor were the
Sumner and Fitzpatrick, now IN the
d NJ
port News and Havana. The law is
regarded by the law officials OF the
Var Department. as explicit on the sub
ieCt OF the service in which they can
be used, and the War Secretary an,
nOunced in positive terms that he VIII
allow no diversion of the ships from
their restricted use
At first. when the request was Oflgi-
naliy made. IL appeared 20 the depart
men as proper enough. lnasmuch as
the ships would carry officials of the
Government, going in their official ca
paciIy, and not as invited guests and
members Of the Diplomatic Corps, who
might properly be termed as guests OF
the Government But IL developed that
the diplomats had been invited for this
occasion by the exposition officials and
not by the state Department, SO they
were TO be only private guests Of the
exposition company.

PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

You've often hearn people, when they're tall5in about wild youngster, say that they're mighty sorry for the boys nanny and daddy. We'll, I've never got to that pass yit. I'm alters sorry for the boy. sorry that he's got sech weak-kneed folks to mismanage him. But I reckon that as long as the world stands the common run of folks will be sorry for the weak-minded daddies and mammies. I allers feel like cussin' when hear whole pas sel of grown people singin', 'Whar Is My Wanderin' Boy To-night?' The boys ought to git up song like this Why Didn't My Parents Raise Me Right?' That kind of a song would about hit the truth smack in the face. It's enough for to give an. old man the jim-jams to think of the wild folly of this world an the wooden-headed hypocrisy of the great majority of it's inhabitants.
 'Whar wanderin' boy has got a nanny an daddy, you may know thar's somethin' wrong wi 'em. This is one of the rules that ain't got no exceptions; when a boy wi a livin' mammy an daddy goes wrong thar's somethin' rank an rotten whar the boy lives ait. The neighbors may not know of 1t, an the mainmy an daddy may deny it wi tears an signs, but the cause of the trouble lies between

 TuRKISu EARRIERY.

Turkish horseshoes are simply 9 flat plate of iron with a hole in the middle. In his volume of. Personal Adven- lures" Colonel J. P. Robertson de- scribes the extraordinary method of preparing the horse to Joe shod:
 "The farrier takes a good long rope, doubles it and knots loop at the end to about the size of Q good large horse collar. This is put over the horses head after the manner of a horse col lar the knot resting on the horses chest.
 Then the two ends of rope are brought between his legs; each rope, then taken by man, is hitehed on to the fetlocks of his hind legs and brought through the lop in front; then by a hard, steady pull the hind legs are drawn up to the fore legs, and the horse falls heavily on his side.
 "All four feet are then tied together by the fetlocks, the horse is propped up on his back and the farrier sits quietly down beside him, takes off all the old shoes and puts on new When the work is finished the horse is united. and allowed to get up, p,"-Youth's Com panion.

of the piles and their arrangement. To quote furtherl
 l 'The so-callsd aedicula, according to Sarasin, is derived, not from the tent, as some have supposed, but from the small shade4roof seen in front of many Celebeatl pile-dwelllngs, under which the occupants sit protected
 from sun and rain. The 'wall-tem- ples' and the cellae are easily devel- 1 oped from the open space under tho dwelling in the pile-houses by build ing+in between the columns-the pro- totypes are seen 1n the Celcbean hous- es. The transformation of the upper part of the pile e-dwelling, when no longer used for habitation, into the superstructure of the Greek temple with it's ornamentation (the frieze has its forefunner in the pile-dwell- ing's wooden carvings, etc.) was easi- ly possible with an artistically minded people The substitution of stone for wood, Dr. sarasih thinks, may have been an Egyptian Invention.
 If the present writer may be per mitted to add to the ideas set forth by pr. Sarasin, he would Ike to su9- gest the possibility of the existence of pile-dwellings in caves tslcn have been reported from prehistoric Sicily having had something to do win the development of the original Wpn,len pile-dwelling into the stone temple
 '@The thAory of Sarasln has tho a1 vantage of proposing as the original prototype of the Greek temple some thing that was more or less ,cpsmo- politan, a building that was common and natural over large D, tion of the prehistoric world and not sane merely 'lccap model, As Dr, Sara7ln points out, the pile-dwei4lg served also as rrototype of che Chinese and Japanese temples Ga tlils case, since they are mostly constructed Jf wood, the likeness Is even more strlklne), likewise in Farther India, IIndllsSan, Arabia, Asia Minor, Egypt, etc, and even in prehistoric America. Moreover not merely the long temple but the round temple goes back to the pile house, as may be seen from the round pile-dwellings pscribed 10 the lard 9f Punt in Egyptian pie1ures dating from about 1500 B. C.. whi,h are practically identical in shape, etc, with pile dwellings stll to be seen in the Nicobar Islands and .n certain parts of Africa.
 "Taken altogether, sarAs n's essay is one of the most interesting and suggestive contributions ID the litera- ture of the evolution of architecture that have, appeared in a generation, and it illustrates the way il which the anthropological investigator can assist in the solution of many ptlz- zling problems, which meet with no successful interpretation at the hands of the closet-student or the based classicist. Dr. Sarasin has given but another proof of the fact that the highest genius of the ancient Greeks lay not in inyenting great or beautiful things out-of- hand, but in idealiZing, beautifying, and harmoni2ing what had already long existed in common and widespread forms and fashions. And to that great are no human race is utterly stranger; and many of them are much nearer the Greeks than most of us believe. ."-Literary Digest

SIR THOMAS LIpToN,s SHOP BOY.

Sir Thomas Lipton has committed many generous acts during his life about which he can never be induced to talk He is fond however, of telling of an incident which happened in his early days, concerning an actute moth CT who forced him to raise her son s wages because Sir, Thomas had pre- scented him with a brand new suit of clothes Sir Thomas started business with one assistant, a boy of fourteen, who was willjlg and honest One day the lad vas overheard complaining that his clothes were so shabby he was unable to go to chapel. MT, Lip ton, as he then was was making ev- cry sacrifice to enlarge his little shop, but he took a sovereign from his care- fully hoarded savings and bought the boy a suit of blue cloth. The next day the boy didn't come to work, and MT Lipton, meeting his mother in the street, asked her the reason. Why Mir Lipton," she said, curtseying, Jimmie looks so respectable, thanks to you, sir, that I thought I would send him round the town to-day to see if he couldn't get a better job. :" Sir Thomas meekly took the hint and offered another two shillings q week which was accepted on behalf of Jlm- mic by his mother.-Tit-Bits

LETTER WRITING IN BABYLON.

It can easily be understood that the reading and writing of cunciform was not an accomplishment in the possess sion of every one. Nevertheless, there were plenty of scribes everywhere, es- pecially in the cities, where they sat at the temple gates to be at the ser vice of the public The frequent rep~ .resentations of scribes are hence inter- astinc, and show that in addition to clay tablets the Babylonians used some sort of flexible material to write upon. The large number of letters which have been excavated, many. of them from the ninth century before Christ, indicate that very active correspond .ence was carried on in Babylonia by means of messengers, but even more active was the use of writing in conn mercial dealings, which was strictly enforced by law. Nothing was legally binding unless it was done into writing lin the presence of witnesses.-Prcfes- sor Friedrich Delitz-za. in Harper's.

unworthy of confidence quite indis- crIninately, American business men" Certainly the Rooseveltian popularity is from the classes, so graphically de- scribed, by MT. Root, as Rooseveltan imitators.
 But the essential truth is told in a single sentence in this letter.
 Tell the American people 355 days in succession, that if they make ten unproftable investments, they will have to stand the loss, but should they once invest proftably, laws will be promptly enacted limiting their re- turns and the American people will cease to invest"
 As Illustrating the crass ignorance of the American people on the ques- tion of currency, and of the nonu- mental incapacity of the United States to regulate, control and restrain American business, note the confes- sion of Secretary Root concerning emergency currency.
 Here is g. lawyer of the highest abil- ity and widest experience, in causes of the greatest magnitude and cabinet officer, in more than one department for many years. He was familiar with the panics Of 1893, of 1S73 and the history of those panics, is the history of this panic of 1907. In all three, the crucial point has been @ currency famine, alleviated in each case, by all sorts of temporary shifts, as we see today, but working for the time being, Q fearful destruction of values not only of securities, but of nanufactur- ing and agricultural products, and no other nation has suffered in this way not even Canada.
 Yet Secretary Root says: Not Intil we had experienced the present panic, have I favored a possible emergency issue in excess of 50 DOT cent, of the bonds securing eiTculaton"
 Indeed I doahl if he or any other member of the Roosevelt administra- ton, or President Roosevelt himself, has ever seriously or earnestly pre- posed even an emergency issue of 50 per cent. of the bond circulation.

THANKSGIVING DAY
At the Cafe Heublesn-spccial Menu
 Prepared for To-day.

! One of the mort noticeable indlca- tions of tho growing metropolitan char octer of this city Is the advance in the furnishings cuisine and attractions of our leading cafes and the attendant response that has met these efforts and expenditures.
 Tn none perhaps is this more notice- able than in the Cafe Hue blein, under the management of the Louis Metzger Catering company.
 ri local cafes on days like today are not the resort of the llomelees, They are the resort of many of those (not having family gatherings) who seek a day of rest from household cares and the enjoyment of a dinner that appeals and satisfies.
 To fill thjs demand the Cafe Heubein announces a sbgcai menu for today that for rarity ana o~cellence the most fastidious epicure caanot criticize. In its newly appointed ladies dining hall it offers surroundings that appeal to- taste ard d service that meets the de- mands of the mos e1acting.
 To the Cafe Heuble!n preeminently is due the presence of music in local cafes. Instrumental fin this advance, tcdav it goes a step further It offers to it's guests a select repertory of be- tween 750 and 1000 musical selections by its orchestra, any and all of which are at their call To ast,ist In this, tn management has just issued neat little booklet entitled Music" (distrib- uted free), giving the names and au- thors of the various selections.
 Among the mcl't called fer of these selections are ~Ernani," Chimes of Normandy" "Tannheuser" "The Tat tooed Man" and s9The Red Mil" by Herbert, Girl Behind the Counter" "Time, Place and the Girl" Merry Widow" La Bo9ieqne," Bohemian Girl Carmen "O'Neill of Derry" "Lady of Lanes Nell Gwynn," incl dental music to the Merchant of Ven ice" and Monsieur Beaucaire," Peer Gynt Suite Henry VIII. dances dhree numbers), ballet music from "Faust," and numerous Yale selections such as ''Boola," Down the Field, Victory" March to Victory" Big Chief Eli" "Whoop It Up,' etc.
 It makes very pretty booklet and one that gives a very complete list of what, at least locally, may be called the popular selections, both classic, semi-classic and those of lighter char acter.
