POINTER TOSAVE MONEY.
It is put down as a fact, by Demo-
cratic and Republican authority upon
the subject, that of the 200,000,000
paid annually in pensions, at least
$50,000,000 are fraudulent.
If Uncle Bam could squeeze the
fraud out of the pension list he could
cut down his annual expenses prob
ably $50,000,000. He could make a fur-
ther cut of $50,000,000 by stopping sil-
ver purchases. There would be no
further trouble in making ends meet
with outgo reduced one-fourth in the
present volume of public expenditure.

THE STRANGEST thing of 1893 is
that Lancaster county is becoming
lousy, a plague of lice as bad as those
that afflicted Egypt. How to head
them off is the question. Perhaps if
the ‘old guard” would quit voting
Republican the affliction would disap-
pear.

WE GET no road legislation and no
improvement in the matter of tax

legislature has passed a law ralsing the

was good for,

The Proper Way to do It,
Some of the applicants for postmas-
terships which reached the new Post
master-General by mail are very odd.
One man sent a bulky - petition em-
bracing several thousand signatures,
bound most handsomely in leather and
lettered in gilt on the outside. Every
alternate page of the volume is a pho-
tograph of scenery in the West. These
pictures are really beautiful, represent-
ing all of the most strikimg features of
that part of the world, from the can-
ons of Colorado and the geysers of
Yellowstone Park to the salmon fish-
eries of Alaska. These render the doe-
ument attractive in a degree, and go so
far as to relieve the monotony of the
list of names that the appointing au-
thority is expected to regard the ap-
peal with more favor. Another peti-
tioner based his claim to office on the
ground that he has eight children, six
of whom have typhoid fever and the
remaining two some other contagious
disease,

DECORATION DAY POEM, 1803,
————
In the nation's mind there lies today
d unmeasured though
A gran, u : 5
Of deeds of great I mtr day
Aud love for the freedom now in sway
Which heroism bought.
And the nations actions plainly tell,
in the peace it now Snjoys,
Of those who faced the shot and shell
And fu the deadly conflict full
The noble soldier boys,
Acknowledgement the nation shows
For Union well preserved;
This day with wreathes and flowers she chose,
To nonor both in verse and prose
Those who so much deserved,
The conquering army marched through states;
Graves marked its onward way,
The feeble veterans now relate
How fell the comrades who await |
The final reckoning day. {
In awful battle flelds they died,
In conflict fearful—sore,
The nations men, the nations pride,
Expired with traitors side by side
In their Lifes blood and gore,
Upon the battle field were strewn;
Sights most pathetio-drear ;
The riderless steeds with masters thrown
Aud the dead were thero—and the dying groan |
Would cause the fulling tear. i
They lay in the trenches withous a shroud,
Sometimes in the forest green,
In cemeteries there seems a crowd,
And their tombstones seem to spesk aloud
Of tueir dee ls which may be seen,
They sleep today where the brooklet winds
Its path o'er petibled bad;
Neath oceans wave, thelr graves you'll find,
And near battle grounds ‘tis fairly lined
With those who faced the dead,
Ah! well indeed may the nation lay
At the shrine of her heroe's dead,
The flowers of spring, and awe-struck stay,
Bear wreaths and flowers all the day
With gentle, reverend tread.
Tis bat a slight remembrances,
Befittiog this fair land
For those who were her true defense,
Drove back the enemy from thence
With mighty valignt hand.
Go forth then all of loyal mind
The freshest lowes bestow;
lat blossoms be with wreaths entwined,
Aud honor foremost be intwined,
As thus respect you show,
When every comrade’s grave you know
With blossoms is Sorsprend,
Another tribute then bestow
Go raise a monnd-—in that way show
Respect for others dead.
Whose burial place is all unknown;
Who to0 was {u the war;
And tell to children not yet grown
Let It to the older ones be shown
What blossoms there are for,
0 days of peace unbounded —stay!
Who gave you first faint light,
Wien nation's light scarce east a ray,
Her noble sons all bleeding iay
In suffering for the right
O day of pescoe~thy widening light
Hestows a hallowed ray
Remembrance of the lost is right
And decorations give us light
As on each grave they lay.
May interest in this day revive
With each succeeding year
New beauties may we each year strive
Ta thus bestow-—and keep alive
Tue soldiers memory dear,

apparently she is in good health. Be

well to hear the husband's side. What |
was he doing all this time ?
