Portrait of a man picking vaca-
ton spot-This is picture of you.
And you, my gullible traveller. Each
year you go through it (you who
are lucky(O enuf to get a vaca-
tion) this business of picking the
vacation spot. With the sun peek
a booing around the budding
branches, not to mention rain
clouds, you are suddenly experience
ing a dozen OBSTACLES at once. The
ecstacies of the vacation. You
dream of the cool of a summers
breeze off the lake. But you've for
gotten the heat of the wind that
ripped over the burning prairie.
You laze back to think of the strike
when the bass took your line in that
rush-laden lake. But you forgot the
back-breaking hours you spent row.
ing that boat when they told you
it was only a little way. But it's
better that way. Because now you'll
go again in a great army of people
who brave all sorts of hardships
bordering on disaster to get them
selves all tired out on vacation.
But there are some things you re-
member about last year. This year
you are going to be the great mas
ter-mind whose experiences lead to
a richer and fuller enjoyment of
this years trek. Very pretty. Let's
watch this fellow, shall we? 1t
really oughta be good, you know.
For instance little Jean got sun
burned so hard last year she had
to sleep on her face for a week.
That mustn't happen again. OF
course, not. But where will you
be, sub, when little jean Is out in
the sun. You'll be out fishing, while
the wife is looking out after meals
for you, you hungry sinner. But 1t
mustn't happen again. Then you
must beware of false advertising.
Now that pamphlet last year pic
tured that spot so beautifully. But
that doggone cabin leaked right ov-
err the bed and you had to get up
and move the furniture all about.
That won't happen again either.
And young Tommy. Last year he
got sick eating green apples he
stole from a farmer and it cost you
two bucks for tree he broke down
That won't come about again
Okay, Okay. 1t won't happen again
Remember last year? How you
ended up in the middle of North
Dakota with a day and a half to get
back and rest up? Sure, who's fault
was that?
Now the first mistake you made
last year, you reason, was taking
friend wife into your confidence
After all, what does she know about
vacations. And, you say, who's va

The Pension Roll

According to the figures last published in the Ma
tional Tribune there still on the pension rolls
two widows of soldiers who fought in the War OF
1872 and 1879 widows of the War with Mexico.
While only 545S Union veterans of the Civil war
remained draw pensions, there were 691S9 widows
on the rolls. AS a result of the Spanish-American
War 17o956 veterans and $3.50 widows were draw
ing pensions
Several thousand veterans and widows of Indian
wars, the World War, and those receiving special
pensions peace time service were also on the rolls
It seems remarkable that two widows are still draw
ing pensions on account of a war which ended more
than 123 years ago. 1t happens, of course because

STATE INSPECTIONS
REMAIN CURTAILED

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-Two Ohio
miners died in a blast in a 60foot
shaft near East Palestine last week
while activities of mine and other in
spectors of the Ohio Department of
Industrial Relations continued to be
curtailed because of lack Of funds for
travelling expenses.
All inspections made by the Indus
trial Relations, Department have been
limited to the home cities of the in
spectors since October Is, when funds
allocated for travelling expenses be-
came exhausted.
Director o. B. Chapman appealed to
the state emergency board for an ad-
ditional $4,000 necessary to continue
the important inspections Of mines,
workshops, factories and elevators to
January l, 1889, but the request was
refused.
Functions of the Department of In
dustrial Relations have been seriously
handicapped for the past two years
due to appropriation slashes by the
92nd General Assembly, and subse-
quent failure to obtain further appro-
priations from special sessions of the
Legislature and the emergency board.
