BIEBER And HIS PENSION
Granted Three Years Ago on Recon-.
mendatiOn of Chief Belt.
Marine Hospital Surgeon Certified
He Was Unfit for Duty Owing 10
Attack of Tuberculosis.

The fact that Sidney Bieber, capitalist
is on the fire department pension roll,
drawing $50 a month. has occasioned no
end OF adverse comment for months.
That this pension will be cut of shortly
now seems 10 be a foregone conclusion.
Since his retirement. upon his own re-
quest. and the granting OF his applica-
tion to be pensioned, nearly three years
ago, he has drawn about 5000. For two
years Of this time he has apparently been
in good average health and one Of the
most active men in Washington.
The papers on file in the case are as
follows:

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall Iup-Drsssng
and Sssding-DoWn.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to top
dressing and seeding-down.
We wish TO call the attention ofthe
farmers OF Vermont to the fact that
we can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been
approved by the Vermont Experiment
Station, but have been used with ex-
celIent results by great many farm
ers in Vermont and have proved thor
ouehly reliable We can also fur
nish the materials for mixing fertili-
zers in accordance with these formu-
las. We should be pleased to send
the formulas together with full direc-
tons for mixing, cost of materials,
ETC., to any one who will write us,
mentioning this paper. Address Car

She Sights herself in many ways,
Enlargcs on her imperfeetions,
Her candor in her own dispraise
Is often open TO objection.
Her motives don't escape detection.
You clearly see on what she's bent
It's up TO you to make correction,
She's fishing for Il compliment.
She SAYS she knows she's ignorant,
| hope you will not think this spiteful
For ! am quite disposed to grant
Her all the dues think are rightful
Her ignorance is not SO frightful.
Her knowledge has n wide extent,
Her intellect is quite delightful.
She's fishing for compliment.
That she is homely as can be
Is what she's very fond of stating,
But ! am forced to disagree
When her fine features contemplating
say she's lovely fascinating
To which she makes a weak dissent
For that her little hook she's batting,
She's fishing for a compliment.
