Little Fraud Was Found
Commissioner Davenport told of
his efforts TO ascertain the truthful
ness of reports in the press and else
where that the pension roll was
honeycombed with fraud. He sent
field men from pensioner to pension
er in the Washington agency and is
now doing the same in the Knoxville
agency, with view 10 probing fraud.
Out OF total of 47,1S1 pensioners

cases OF improper pensioning were
revealed The commissioner said he
believed the check system would put
an end to any fraud that may now
exist
The number of soldiers and sailors
on the pension roll at the close Of the
fiscal year was 570,050 dependents
and widows 321 .642, and army nurses
406. There were 529,SS9 survivors
of the Civil war; 35,293 having died

The Difference.

Something's doin' an dom quick
Whenever Pa is sick.
Oh, my =! there's such an awful muss,
And such a splendid ST ght of fuss,
Whenever Pa is sick.
Bridget fills the water bag,
Sister hunts linen rag,
Sarah makes mustard plaster,
While Pa is yellin', "Hurry faster !"
Baby sits and sucks her thumb
The only one that's still and dumb.
But Ma just does most everything
Until she hears the DOCTOR ring,
Then she talks bit with him
And takes him to the sick room dim !;
And when at last he goes away,
We tiptoe round the live long day
And hardly dare to breathe real quick
Whenever Pa is sick.
When Ma is sick, we never know,
Except she moves a little slow,
And looks so tired round the eyes
AS though she'd had some quiet cries.
Sometim es she rests little while,
And gives the sweetest sort of smile
When l slip up and softly say,
"Ain't you feeling we'll today?"
Somehow | wish, when she was sick,
She'd make us move around as quick
AS Pa does-so that we could know
And help her when she suffers so.

them and pack into kegs and pour
over them a brine made of salt so
strong that it will float potato. Put
on weights to keep them under.
When wanted, soak few days in hot
water, changing it twice day until
the salt is out. Then make into
either sweet or sour pickles. If one
prefers to prepare them for instant
use, gather them as before. put into
stone jar with tea cup of sugar
to each gallon, cover with boiling
water, let stand over night. In
morning drain off brine and pack
into fruit jars.
For sweet pickles boil together two
pounds brown sugar, two quarts cider
vinegar, one teaspoon each of CHINA
mon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cayenne
pepper and a tablespoon of whole
mustard. Pour over cucumbers and
seal.
For sour pickles, add cup of graf
ed horseradish to each gallon. then
pour over clear hot vinegar and seal.
1t is not generally known that green
muskmelon can be put down in brine
the same as cucumbers, then soaked
and made into sweet pickles even
more delightful in flavor than the
best of other pickles, but such is the
case.
Before putting in brine merely open
aud remove seeds; when freshened
remove tough skins before pouring
on the syrup. The late ones that re-
fuse to ripen may be used.
RIPE CUCUMBER PICKLE.
Take large thick ones, rem owe
skins and seeds; cut into rings or
pieces suitable for serving. Boil
until clear but not too soft in water
to which has been added vinegar to
give sour taste. Put into coIander
and drain. 1t is really better to let
them stand several hours, pouring off
the water frequently. Many failures
arise from the fact that this is not
done. The water comes out into the
syrup and consequently the pickles
spoil. Or one can cover with cold
vinegar and let stand twenty four
hours. It's less work, but more ex
penslve, as the vinegar can not be
used again. To each quart of vinegar
for the syrup use two pounds of sugar
and one ounce of cassia buds or a
little more of the stick cinnamon and
little salt, about one tablespoonful.
Boil together for twenty minutes. Ii

BIG DAY TOMORROW,

All Hammond revival records have
been broken by the great meeting now
going on at the Christian church. Last
evening the results put this meeting
well over the line beyond and ahead
of any other like effort in Hammond.
The greatest meeting held by any one
congregation in Hammond up to this
time was held in the Chris tian church
last evening when $50 came into the
church. The meeting has not yet closed
and already that record has been ex-
ceeded by fifteen.
There is also one other feature of
note in this count. The number repre-
sents not merely people who are inter-
ested or people who stand for prayers,
but actual additions to the church.
Sunday is expected to again break
the record for Bible school attendance.
Last Sunday there were, 6l6 in the BIZ
BILE class Sunday it is expected that
this number will be put for in the back
ground.
If this meeting goes over 200 in its
results another record will be estab-
lished, as that will be the largest meet
ing of the past year held by pastor
in his own congregation without the
help of a professional evangelist.
BY the way, while many of our con-
tempora ries have given Hammond the
record for being a bad place and much
adverse advertising has been given our
city we wonder what some of our
friends will have to say when Ham
mond is setting records FOR the cities
of the state in church work.
We presume that few will be the
places in the state tomorrow wnere
1900 win assemble in one congregafio on
for religious services. and yet there
is no question but what that viii be
the record for the Sunday evening au-
dienee at the Christ ian church.
Splendid singing led by Mr.. Kendall
assisted by an orchestra: continue

lures. beautiful special music and
many other special features Will go &c
