Bowser stepped from tbe street oar.
Although he wss half a block awsy
•he kaew by ihe wey he tonebed tbe
ground that lie bad something on Ills
mlod. Until In inched the gate,
however, ebe could not tell whether
llie porous plaster In bed put on bis
back that momiuit had wrinkled up
and llfed bis weight on to hie lose, or
II lie bed struck n sew idee in life-pre
servers or firecacipea. The blend,
good-natured look on bis face solved
the problem. Hu had s new Idea Id
hla bead.
"la business good ?" queried Mrs.
Bowser wa be opened tbe door.
"Duaioeea. my deer woman, waa
never better!'’ be laughed “1 have
dune a stroke of business to-day
wbioh will rejoice your heart, but you
will liave to welt until after dinner
for the details.'’
During tbe dinner hour Mrs. Bow
ser thought of hogs, elites cns. horses,
winter resorts, ft re-escapes, medicine
cheats end a lot of other things which
Mr. Buwaec might Indulge lo, and aim
also made three or four efforts to draw
him ont. Us waa smiling, but Arm
however. It was oaly after they had
Onisbad tbe meal and adjonraod to the
family room that lie looked down upon
her blandly and said:
•'Mr*. Bowser I havelong contem
plated extensive icpalrs to U>Ubouse.”
“Why, wbat Is the matter with Hie
houM7"rtM asked.
• 'll wants maoy alteration*. Ills
not coovaaieat. 1 propose lu change
the lower etati* and tome of tb# room*
It la slowly bat gradually killing you
to oversee aucb a large and loconve
ulent house.”
“The house la all right, and you
have heard no complaints from rot”
“Tbe house, Mrs. Bowser. 1* to un
dergo ex too dve alteration* and repair*.
Aside from the matter of eunvanieocc.
1 am sure there Is malaria here, owlug
to bad plumbing. A bnsbnnd who
hives bta wife will aoi—"
“And so you bav* got a new fad 7”
she Interrupted.
"Madam, you ai« speeklbg to your
hatband I A bualiand baa bo fada. I
hay* long ooutemplsted exlcusive ilter
uIkios to this bouse, and 1 shall take
advantage Of cheap labor In the winter
to make them. 1 arrauged everythiug
In ten minutes thl* afternoon.”
“llow arrauged?”
“We are to move into a dal for a
couulo of month*.
“You—you can’t mean 111” gasped
Mrs. Bosraer.
“Into a picturesque and cosy lltttle
flat, my dear, share everything la as
neat aa a plo and aa ooly aa yuu please
You have often said you would like to
live In a flat, and now—
“1 never said to, Mr. Bowser I I’d
rather live In a barn I This house
doesn't need the slightest repair, and
joe tbstet go* nd disturb thing* Just
aawe are all nicely settled for the
winter. I thought it wa* about time
you got some other silly notion into
your bead 1 Move Into a flat ! Wby,
you wouldn’t stand it e week !”
“I have aeeursd the Bat,” replied
Mr. Bowser, aa be set down. I baye
secured tbe flat, and next week w*
move. I expected you would be
startled at first, but 1st ns icasuo tb*
case. Yon have malaria in ynur sys
ten.”
“I deny it 1 I haven’t bad a pain or
an sc ha for a year, aud It you’d ooly
drop foolish fancies I should bavu
noth log to worry about.
“You have materia Id your system,
Mrs. Bowser, and tbls change will
cure it la a flat we Mi all be warmer
and snugger Her* era have big,
barny rooms lu which oo# Is almost
lost. Id a list we shall be jnstooiy.
Everything is ou one floor, arid every
thing la bandy and convenient, we
may like It so well that we will not
come bank to oar bout*."
Ana you bavo rooted a flat?"
groaned Mr*. Bowser.
“Leased ora for three months,’’ ba
■aid at ba exhibited ilia document
“And where la 117"
“Where la It? Let’a see? The loca
tion moat ba mentioned Id thla paper.
Yea—It’a on Strawberry avenue—No.
ant Strawberry avenue.’’
“And yau never went to look at it?
aba al moat alionted.
“What waa the aaa? The landlord
waa in the ofllee and told me all about
It. Thera aia seven rooma— hard
wood ffaleh- beautiful view—beat or
tenants—four street oar lines-no
nolle*—all that anybody could ask for.
In a week you’ll he *o much in luvs
with the little llal that you’ll thank

“flow anany flights up?1’
“flow mnoy flights? He probebly
told me, but I bare forgotten. Let’s
aee? Of oourae. tbs higher up you go
the better air you get. Here It la
four flights op. That will fire us-”
“Three iliglita of atalre to cllmbt”
walled Mr*. Bowser.
"Only threw, my dear. Four would

“It will turn out Ilka our traahora

“And wtiat waa tha matter of our

mosquitoes around, and there wad •

On another page of this morning's
Herald we publish tome reasons ed
vuuoed Ur Commissioner Evans in
favor of ptiUllshlng the list of Uulted
Stale* pensioners.
Cummiaeioner Evaos state* liiet the
lists would make about fifteen or twen
ty volume* or a thousand pages each
It It Impossible to imagine any good
ground for withholding these names
from the public
Vo deserving mao or women who
draws a pension can reap anything but
honor from the revelation of his or her
name. Tire fotdier who served bit
country In the hoar of need Is oertaln
of lU* sincere respect end gratitude
ut Ills fetiow-citixeos, sad then* reel
ings era freely extended to all those
Justly entitled to inherit his merits.
A plat* upon the pension roll should
be n title to the uellun’s honor, sod
qo loyal soldier of the republic sbuuld
object to letliug bis fellow country
men know what be ha* suffered or
duoe for them. Hut unfortunately
there are otbara wbosc names have
been foisted upon the rolls, end whose
fradukut pretensions bring discredit
upon ibe honored veteran* with whom
tury are thus associated.
Our Washington correspondence this
morning fornlshta a number of in
stances In which the mask was torn
from some of these false pretenders to
a claim upon the gratitude and ibe
puree of the people, and there It no
question that a small army of ooafl
dencc operators or both sexes litre had
their names smuggled Into that list
which now—a whole generation after
the close of the war—cam be it about a
million names.
It k an eatonodlog fact that Ibe
smouot now yearly paid oat for pen
sions—and which baa doubted Id the
peel ten yenn-exoeeds the actual cost
of maintaining Germany's vast stand
ing army. The American people,
however, would not qatbble at this;
they would gladly tax themselves to
pay double this emount were U de
voted to shooting the declining years
of men who had suffered in their coun
try’s service, to comforting the women
who hid shared their hardships, or
their orphaned children.
But when It is remembered that tbe
number of soldiers in service during
tbe war—In any yew until that In
which General Let surrendered—never
amounted to u many men as there
are now aamea upon the pension roll,
nearly thirty-three year* after lb*
straggle dosed-it It clear that there
It something wrong. Aside from this
general reasoning, however, the num
erous sped lie instances of fraud nUnt
claims upon the pension list point to
myriad undiscovered Instances of sim
ilar character.
Ths people w illingly submit to taxa
tion for Uie benefit of those who are
entitled to pensions, but It Is t crying
■hnme to fitch funds from the heavily
burdened tollers for tbs benefit or Im
postor*. By all mean* make the lieu
public. Let every community know
who are the person* (o whom honor I*
duo. a* well a* those who are parading
under false oolora. No booeet veteran
no woman or child who rightly In
herits such a veteran's claim need fear
to forfeit tbe respect sod esteem of
neighbors. Ou the contrary, the pub
lication will be a claim to the honor
of tbe community.
Publish U» pension lists. Let us
kikow the tru* and the false.

8nujy*i>osT, lj*. — lc waa a lovely
train— that tail mall trom Atlanta to
Montgomery—oars ell new end bright
imd clean. end we raid* tbs ran of 175
mile* in Bv* boars. The wheels seemed
to slid* end glide along U» rail* ss if
moving upon ice: uot a Jar or aback,
and all want eereee until we neared
Opelika, when suddenly there waa a
terrlOc craeii at my window and the
Urge plate glase was shatter'd by a
atone that luma Bend had thrown with
force and violence. A aeooed later_
yes, a fraolloo of e aeoond—and I
would have received the blow In my
feoa. The broken glees was shattered
over me and In my face, and a sharp
fragment • truck ray Huger. Kind feu
or providence protected ine, for I had
no accident policy. Hut I consider
myself the injured person and hid a
mind to telegraph Governor Johnston
to call out lb* militia for ww bad
oroased the Alabama line. When we
reached the town our coo due tor put
detectives on track of the rascals end
l hope they will catch them. Wimn
w* got to Meridian It waa night again,
and in going to the hotel I found the
pavement torn up part of tbe way and
before 1 was a«r»re of any impediment
I stumbled against an abrupt rise and
fell far and wide on the unfeeling
brlok. It seemed to me that I cowidn’t
stop felling and my ooiporoelty spread
out In a borlfontal attitude. I lost
my can* and my spectacles but a kind
hNiri^d (mm ran out of bis store sod
helped me up and we found them.
Yon are the third men that has tripped
up there to-mgbt sod the city oouncll
ought to have a lamp and a watchman
*“r* J ®7 knespan and got
■T hast olothas ell dirty and onoa more
I oooilder myself tbe Injured pwann,
for I still had no accident policy. To
day. when our train slopped at Vicks
burg, a lot of prewebere got aboard uo
their way to the synod end some of the
ale* ladlse of the town came down to
meet some lady frioodj on the train.
it took them a good while to exohange
salutailooe and klia goodby all around
and suddenly the train moved off and
gradually gained speed of motion aod
I he Dice ladles ran hastily to the door
aod down tlie slept aad made a leap
for tbe platform. I narer aaw such a
spread of feminine forma and garments
in my life. They both fell violently
forward face downwards with all four
of tlieir limbs extended, aod I know
the shock must have broken every stay
In tlmlr ooracta It grieved me, fort
know they ate hurt, but tbe train nev
er atoppad to see. for Urn conductor
supposed those ladles were re mein him
and not visitors and had gone for
ward to look after other matters. But
1 a to obliged to oonelder those ladles
tbe iojured person*, a won’t do for
lad In or old man to leap from e mov
ing train. When we crossed the great
Mississippi river aad had resumed our
journey the train stopped to take on a
young couple who wets eloping from
their parents and were going to get
married as soon es they readied tbe
Bret oourtliouse tow*. They bed
dodged the old people by crossing tbe
liver lu a skiff and so when the train
readied the town the young man hur
ried to the clerk and got a license
mbile our train waited for him. They
didn’t know where to Bod a prmcher
but there were forty or fllty aboard
oar train and kind friends suggested
that Lbey be married lo the parlor oar
that was attached. So they chose onr
Jimmy Hillbonee, who need to preaeh
In Cartereville. but is now located In
Vicksburg- He got llev. Jimmie
Jones to assist him and while tbe train
waa going thirty miles an hour the
bappv couple were joined together In
the holy bonds of matrimony. The
two Jimmies kissed the fair yonng
bride end when ire met the east bound
train the coo pi* boarded It and re
turned to tlieir anxious parents. There
was nothing lo the way of tlieir mar
riage seye their youth, Tor the young
man Is of good I labile and good family,
and ilia girt is as sweat as a pink.
But these preeebers are a bright and
jolly set They kept ua laughing all
tha way to Monroe, where the synod
meets. Going to the church courts is
their fleetest recreation.

The property had bno put to his wife’#

The lawyer want on to say that he con

who Bakes lb* offar la aa erratic and

In bis Inside coat pocket, grasped the

when two weeks liad elapaad they both ;

‘Bend that George," abe cried.
A ad this La wbat George read:
"Dear Madam:—Of course I knew
