PENSION
FRAUDS.
Bepobllran
System of
Robbing
taa
People.
More than twenty years ago Gen.
Garfield. In his place in the house of
representatives, said: "The pension
list is swollen beyond all account
More frauds are being perpetrated on
tha government by claim agents than
from any other source." And, as chair
man of the committee on appropria
tions, he further said: "We may rea
sonably expect that the expenditures
for pensions will steadily decrease, un
less legislation should be unwarranta
bly extravagant. n
Do not the vast expenditures for pen
sions show that they have been "unwar
rantably extravagant?' An exchange
truly says: "Pension agents have
fattened at the public crib. Cowardly
politicians have truckled to the soldier
rote. Thousands of names have been
put upon the rolls that do not belong
there. The self-respect and self-reliance
of thousands of union veterans
have been undermined by those who
have held forth the temptation of re
celving support from the national
treasury, when, but for the induce
merits urged by pension agents, they
would never have thought of present
ing claims for that which they did not
need.
A writer In the Century pleads foi
"the reinstatement of the old-fashioned
virtue of manly independence," the ab
sence of whioh has made so many able
bodied paupers in public, professiona
and private life, and expresses the
hope that congress will be compelled
by popular indignation to order sucb
thorough investigation as will open the
way for a radical reform of the pension
office and the pension system. Detroit

Then the young man took out his
watch, held it where the light from a

systematically. For four or live min
utes the bell over the clerks head
struck once every thirty seconds. The
clerk's hair began to stand on end as
he hastily rolled off his cot. The regu
larity with which the bell rang made it
seem almost supernatural. It took hin
three minutes to get some clothes on

time the bell rang exactly six times.
It was actually a relief to find some
one at the door when he opened It; it
showed that the bell had been rung by
human agency.
The young man sauntered In, nodded
with half-drunken gravity and conde

"Aw, give me some cigarettes."

-The Northland Is the largest penin

oi nussia, is the largest country on the
European continent. It is more than
1,100 miles long, it is from 25Q to 400
miles wide, and it contains nearly 800,-
uuu square miles of territory. It Is
about a third larger than either the re
public of France or the empire of Ger

size of the peninsula of Italy. If we
compare it with the states of the Amer

SYSTEM IN HOUSEWORK.
WTfaat Slay Ho Accomplished by Tlmlm
One's Turns."
It is strange to noto how few people
are guided by their judgment in matters
of everyday life. The prejudices, the
impulse of the moment, and often mere
superstition govern the action in thing
of vital moment. This is not only true
of persons without education, but oi
persons who are well informed on gen
eral matters and versed in the affairs of
life. There is a good old proverb which
says: "CounW ten before you speak."
While it is absurd on the, face of it, it is
full of suggestion for people who act
upon impulse, rather than from their
sober judgment. It were well, indeed,
if people stopped delilerately before
they rushed headlong into action. This
applies not alone to Gutters of moment,
but to the everyday affuirsof life. There
is a certain class of housekeepers who

one only is strictly necessary. It is ten
chances to one if, in the progress oi
their erratie work, they do not create
as much work again for themselves by
untoward accidentia and in this way
and that, as there was originally in
tended to do. Such people are not in
dolent; they are often over-energetic
They are the always-busy women, who
never have time for anything outside
their housework, and often break down
from nervous exhaustion long before

housekeepers who are not such early
risers, who are not so heavily cumbered
with many things as the all-busy one.
whose houses seem always in

whose tablea are alwaj-s bounti

Stch lassie auswered him modestly
tliat much might be done by "timing
sin's turns." This art of "timing ain's
turns' is the difference between the
overworked housekeeper and her more
systematic siter. Kvery stroke in
kitchen work should le done with care
and directness toward a result. The
worker must plan her work, for without
a plan she is as much at the mercy of
accident as a rudderless vessel at sea. It
Is sufficient to say that.the woman who
begins her kitchen work by creating a

work, by proper thought about the
drafts and proper management of the
stove doers that prevent tho dust and
ashes fms flying about the room, can
easily be done with no dust, except
what can be wiped up in an instant. A
little care in preparing tho breakfast
will enable a systematic worker to keep
her stove neat and clean, without the
necessity of eoutinually polishing it to
keep it bright. The same may be said
of every branch of housework. Tha
systematic housewife never takes ten
steps when one is neeei-sary. She raise

the door, She was stylishly dressed
and, except for the inverted concentra

When the conductor came round she

"What am I to do with it?" asked

"Oh, goodness gracious, what a mis

one in the outstretched palm.
"Right you are, miss," and the con

gave a sigh of relief to see the matter
adjusted.
But that wasn't all. The girl stopped
the car at a down-town crossing, and
otepped off dreamily.
The other passengers looked after her
with some interest, when she was seen
to turn suddenly and wildly wave hei

conductor grabbed the bell rope, and
stopped as she ran up panting:
