B|EBER RECEIVES PENSION
AMOUNT, HOWEVER, REDUCED
FROM 500 TO 81 PER MONTH.
Former Fire Marshal Reaches Agree.
ment With District Commission
ers-Withdraws His Appeal.

Sidney Bieber, formerly fire marshal Of
publican national committee. will remain
on the pension roll of the fire department..
receiving 81 per month. This Is In accord
between the Commissioners and Mr..
Bieber Legal action is, to be discontinued.
Commissioner Mcfarland said today
that while Mr.. Bieber did not appear be-
fore the board Of physicians when ordered
to do SO several months ago. he was ex-
amined by his physician. The certificate
Of the physician. It was explained, showed
that there was a basis for keeping him
on the pension roll. and therefore the
compromise agreement with him was
perfected.
The fixing Of the amount Of pension at
81 per month was suggested by Mr.. Bic
Der andwas accepted by Commissioners
Mcfarland and West Mr.. Bieber also
agreed to withdraw the appeal to the
United States Supreme Court from the
decision Of the District Court of Appeals.
When Mr.. Bieber was fire marshal Of
the District he was sent to the Baltimore
conhagration in February, 1904. For many
hours he was engaged In fighting the
flames, 1t Is stated, and there contracted
the illness which necessitated his retire.
ment from the fire department and his re-
moval to Colorado. Several months ago
he was ordered to appear before the sur
geons for examination. Following his
non-appearance the pension OF 500 per
month. which he had drawn UP to that
time, was cut off. Mr.. Bieber filed suit
in the District Supreme Court and won.
The Court of Appeals. however. reversed
the lower tribunal. An appeal was noted
to the United States Supreme Court 1t
was pending when the agreement was
reached.
Mr.. Bieber said today that the arrange
ment is entirely satisfactory to him and
that although he unaided fought the
case In the courts. the litigation will prove
of benefit to those on the pension roll.

WHEN WOMEN REGISTER.
Hotel Clerk Explains Why Blotte1
Is Necessary.

Is Necessary.
From the Milwauke Sentinel.
Hotel clerks get to be great observ-
ers Of human nature" said an old hotel
lobbyist" During the many hours out
of each day that / spend warming this
chair / have learned many tricks of their
trade which go to prove my statement.
''In fact, this clerk here has a peculiar
trick of his own which shows how keen
an observer he is. II you watch him at
work you will find whenever a woman is
registering he holds blotter so as to
hide the other names on the page. At
first when noticed 1t I thought that he
was merely holding the blotter In readi
ness to use 1t on the newly written name,
but when I found that he only did 1t
when q woman was registering my Gu
riosity got the better of me and I asked
the reason.
".Why,' said he. women are the most
nervous creatures in the world. I hold
that bIotter up to show that I am not
watching her write her name. and at the
same time to keep her from trying to ex-
eel the other handwriting on the page.
II she noticed that / was watching her
closely 1t Is a safe bet that she would get
signature. trying to be fancy. On the
other hand. IL she saw particularly
pretty signature on the next line the
chances are that she would try to i'm
prove hers with flourish or two-which
generally means a choice blot to be
scratched out by yours truly.
II decided to test his theory by look
Ing over a woman's shoulder while she
registered. The result was Just what he
said 1t would be"

Waste Of Gas in Louisiana.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
J. w. Atkins of Shreveport says that the
state ought to do something to prevent
the enormous waste that Is now going or
in the Caddo field.
There Is a waste there of 1O0,-
10000 feet a. day" said Mr.. Atkins at
the Grunewald. The meeting Of the con-
servation commission called by the gov
ernor looked into this NATTER and while
the closing Of these wild wells is entirely
feasible. nothing definite has yet been
done to stop the waste.
The trouble is that the state lacks the
funds with which to do the work The
law Is there and the state has full au-
thority TO stop such wild wells and hold
them until reimbursed for the work by
the owners The governor Is as much in
terested in this as any one, and he will
probably devise some means OF raising the
necessary funds and save this enormous
wealth to the state"

Charm Against Nightmare.

From the London Chronicle.
No man would willingly invoke the hor-
rors of nightmare. and it may therefore
be of interest to know that in East An
glia a way has been discovered of avert
ing this dreaded terror. A correspondent
in an old number of "Notes and Queries"
writes: II recently observed a large stone,
having a natural hole through it, sus-
pended inside a Suffolk farmers cow
house. Upon inquiry of a laborer / was
informed this was intended as a prevent
i've Of nightmare in the cattle. My in
formant (who evidently placed great faith
in its elucacy) added that similar stone
suspended in the bedroom, or a knife of
steel laid under the foot of the bed, was
of equal service to the sleeper, and that
he had himself frequently made use Of
this charm"

Women are more loyal friends. esps-

why the man of genius usually surrounds
himself with petticoats rather than with
admirers OF the Sterner sex. He wishes
