Beppo, her attendant, the boy walked
quickly from the Mount to the forest.
His eyes were still bright; his cheeks
yeti burned, but occasionally the
shadow of smile played about his
mouth, and he threw up his head
fiercely. At the verge Of the wood
he looked back, stood for a moment
with the reflection of light on his face.

OF the castle, which presently he
reached, he stopped for an armful of

Jameson for Public Printer.

Washington, d. e., special to the
Des Moines Register and Leader:
Former Representative Jameson of
the Eighth Iowa district may be
public printer under the Wilson re-
CINE Among prominent employees
in the government printing office the
word is going around that Mr..
Jameson is slated for the job, which
is one of the most responsible pieces
of patronage President-elect Wilson
will have to bestOw.
Mr.. Jameson was originally for
Clark and fought for Clark at Balti-
more, but later he was active for
Wilson and was stationed at New
York in the campaign, where he had
charge of organization work in the
east for the democratic committee.
He made good record and his
choice for public printer would not
be surprising, especially as he is a
newspaper man and trained in the
printing business.

That fresh cholera serum is an eff
fective cure for the hog cholera has
recently been strikingly demonstrat-
ed at the state college experiment
farms though of the efficiency of the
remedy the state authorities have
had no doubt whatever. The chol-
era broke out on the herd at the
college farm and several of the pork
ers were very i'll. Two had already
died before the serum was secured.
but it proved to be a good quality OF
serum and it's action was quick. The
result was that only one more hog
died of those that were i'll and all
the rest were saved. The authori-
ties at the experiment station report
that there is great demand 1or
serum and it is almost impossible for
the farmers to secure it in amounts
and qualities desired, for most Of
the farmers are now fully convinced
that it is a perfect cure.

No Pension Vouchers.

Old soldiers pension vouchers are
thing of the past. The Des Moines
Agency, as well as all other agen-
cies has been annulled, and from
this time on, all pension checks will
be forwarded direct from the Inter-
ior Department at Washington, D..
C. No instrument Of writing of any
kind whatever will be required for
the pensioner to get the amount
coming to him at the end of each
quarter which will fall due as it
always has done, on the 4th day of
February, May, August and Novem-
Der, of each year.
President Taft approved an Act of
Congress 'abolishing all pension
agencies, to be effective January l .
1913, and after that date the De-
partment of the Interior will for
ward to the last known address of
the pensoner check for the pension
due for the quarter last expired, and
on the postmaster is placed the re-
sponsbility for it's safe delivery.
1t is presumed by the Interior De-
partment that the local postmaster
in nearly every case knows the pen
sioner, and there will be little
trouble about the delivery of checks,
except to those who have moved
away. The postmaster is forbidden
to forward one of these checks, no
matter how many verbal or written
requests he may have from the pen
sioner, if he moves away, to at once
notify the Pension Department at
Washington, telling them where to
forward his check, otherwise delay
in it's delivery will likely result.
1t is very necessary that pension
certificates be kept close watch on,
as the new law makes it obligatory
on banks and others cashing pen
sion checks to see and compare num-
bers and dates of issue before CASH
ing same.
