CLEVELAND SAYS
PENSIONS FOR
PRESIDENTS
Provisions Should be Made for
Ex-0fficiaIs
ASKS NOTHING FOR HIMSELF
Jefferson Was Obliged to Sell His
Library to Congress to Keep Wolf
From Door.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.--Grover Cleve-
land, writing on "Our Duties to Our
Presidents" tells of the necessities
of an ex-president, his obligations and
occupations and touches upon the pro-
vision the people should make for re-
tired chief magistrates.
Mr.. Cleveland says Of the obligations
of an ex-presldent:
ut Is most gratifying to note how
the private lives of our ex-presidents
are made grateful and bright by the
generous attachment and spontaneous
kindness manifested toward them by
their fellow countrymen.
"The American people are the best
people in the world, and the honor and
respect with which they follow to his
retirement one who has served them In
the highest office within their gift
illustrate the innate nobility OF the
American character.
whatever omission there may be OF
fair and considerable conduct on the
part Of our people In their relations
with their ex-presidents ought to be
made good by definite and generous
provision for all cases alike, based up
on motives Of justice and fairness and
adequate to the situation.
I'm view Of the fact that am the
only man now living who could at this
time profit by the ideas l have advo-
Gated | hope my sincerity will not be
questioned when ! say that I have
dealt with the subject without the
least thought of personal interest OF
| desire for personal advantage. l an
not In need of aid from the public
treasury. hope and believe that
have provided for myself and those
dependent upon me comfortable
maintenance within the limits Of &C
customed prudence and economy and
that those to whom l owe the highest
earthly duty will not want when an
gone.
"The president of the French repub
lie receives an annual salary amount
ing to 100000, together with $60,00'
for the maintenance and furnishing o.
his official residence and like sum I,
cover the expenses Of travel and en-
tertainment. This Is decidedly In tn
direction of securing dignihed ant
unpcrplexed future support to Its OK
president.
1T is hardly to be supposed tina
such an expenditure as this on accoun
of our presidential Office would accor'
with American ideas. 1t is not D
easy however, to dismiss from OIL
minds the thought that the American
nation cannot well afford to disregar,
entirely the conditions that confron
its retired presidents nor longer to al
low itself to be accessory to the pit
full incidents that-have frequently n
suited from such conditions.
"Our national pride should be rude
ly touched when we read concernin
Thomas Jefferson after his retiremsp
from the presidency:
"'By degrees Jefferson became poo
man, and indeed worse than poor, sine
he was involved In pecuniary embaI
easements. Before matters had react
ed this stage he had sold HIS librar
to congress for S23.950.'
although he expressed himself q
desiring nothing from the public treas
ury, he accepted pecuniary aid flu
nished by private subscription"

Burlington, Dec 27.--Police investi-
cation has revealed the fact that 500

LETTER TOA. r. B 4NKS.

Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on this
question in arithmetic and casuistry.
A farmer is fattening three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are fed
in these three WAYS: !: first hog. on a
certain proportion OF milk and cooked
cornmeal second hog, on The same
half water; third hog, on The same
half water and sawdust. How long
will it take, how much will they weigh,
how much Will they cost. aud whst'll
the profit be on the three?
And similar question in pigmen-
try. That same farmer is going To
paiut three barns same size; anu he
says to three painters: "whatil you
take to paint that barn?"
First painter scratches his head a
few mIuutes and says. ''Pli do IT for
$50"
Second painter $751;"
Third painter: "$97 As"
Will they each get . barn TO paint,
or one get two. or one bill three, r
nobody any; and whatiI ahey make
on the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes
But there is 4. way TO reck on So "A

how many gallons To buy. There's a
