al Curious Coincidence of the Sea.

"A curious Coincidence OF the Sea.
Ralph D. Paine, while delving into
the old sealogs kept by eighteenth CEN
fury captains, and now stored in the
Essex Institute at Salem, brought to
light strange tale that yet was fact.
He tells about 1t as follows:
The Grand Turk, good ship belong

well-known merchant was returning to
Salem from the West Indies.
During the voyage Captain 1ngersoll
rescued the master and mate OF an
English schooner, the Amity, whose
crew had mutinied while In the Spanish
Main. The two officers had been cast
adrift in a small boat to perish. This
was the FIRST act in a unique drama OF

PENSION AGENCqES

There seems to be no good reason
for the adjustment of the pension
agencies throughout the country,
which would include the Topeka one
and the largest of them all, as is
contemplated by a measure pending
in congress. And there are many good
reasons why such a step should not
be taken, the most important of
which is the facility with which the
pension business Is handled through
the existing agencies.
1t appears that this move for the
adjustment of the pension agencies
was caused by a quarrel in far away
New Hampshire over some patronage,
and it seems ridiculous that such a
fuss as this should disrupt the pres
ent system of the distribution of pen
sion checks which has been found to
be most adequate, and eminently sat-
isfactory to the pensioners. Perhaps
the agency in Maine and the agency
in New Hampshire should be con-
solidated with the one in Boston and
the business carried on as success
fully as it is now, and that may be
the result of the present furry.
Eighteen agencies exist in the
country now, and nine of them have
been in question for some time. But
the senators in the states where they
are located stand ready to make a
life and death struggle to retain them
With thirty-six senators determined
to retain the agencies. they being
more than one-third of the whole
senate, it will not be very easy
matter to abolish them.
".
part of the government as put out
by the secretary Of the interior is no
more than guess, and careful in
vestigation would show that there
would be no saving at all in transfer
ring the payments of pensions from
the agencies to the treasury depart
ment at Washington as is contem-
plated.
Just as many clerks would be need
ed to handle the business at Wash
ington as are needed at the various
agencies and their pay would have to
be considerably increased for govern
ment clerks at Washington are neces-
sarily paid more than are the gov
eminent clerks in other parts of the
country because of the greater cost
Of living at the national capital.
And then there would be vexatious
delays in the handling of the CORES
pondence incident to the payment
and settlement of pension claims be-
cause of the great distance to and
from Washington that the letters
would have to travel. So taken all in
all 1t would seem that the business of
paying and looking after pensions can
be conducted not only more cheaply
through the existing agencies, but
more expeditiously than it could be

than American.
According to this investigator, it is
of German origin. 1t was sung in
Geneva, as the Swiss national anthem,
as far back as 1902. At the beginning
of the eighteenth century it was
adapted by Lully as a patriotic song
in honor of Louis XIV of France. Fifty
years later Handel arranged it as a
popular song for Hanover. and 1t was
doubtless through this channel that
ultimately 1t reached the British
Islands and became adopted there as
the national anthem. in honor Of the
Hanoverian dynasty. In 100 Henry
Harries made birthday ode of it for
King Christian VII of Denmark, and
in 1893 Schumacher reconstructed 1t
for Prussia. where it is still known
