I Toulon. France. March 12—The city :

’ The Lena was a first class battleship

| IT IS TO LAUGH f
THE UNQUIET STAIRS.
In a recent suit in a Cincinnati
court a lawyer was cross-examining
a German, the point under inquiry
being the relative position of the
doors, windows, ami so forth, in a
house in which a certain transaction
was alleged to have occurred.
"And now. my good man." the
lawyer said, "will you good enough
to tell the court how the stairs run in
y our house?''
The German looked dated for a
moment. "How do they run?" he
repeated.
"Yes: how do the stairs run?"
"Yell." continued the witness,
"ven I am oppstairs dey run down,
and ven I am downstairs dey run

THE IGNORANT FARMER.
D. H. Morris the.president of the
automobile club of America, has oil
his Long Island estate a fine chicken
farm. At a dinner in New York Mr.
Morris, in response to some compli
ments on the success of his farm and
on his knowledge of chickens, said,
with a laugh:
"And yet 1 was as ignorant of chic
kens a few years ago as a farmer on
his first visit to New York was ignor
ant of city ways.
" 'Everything was fine.' this farm
er said when he got back home from
New York. ‘Everything was fine
except the light. They kept the
light burning in my room all night
long—a thing I ain't used to, and I
couldut* sleep on account of it. ’
" 'Well. Hi, why didn't you blow
it out?’ said his wife.
" ‘Blow it out? How could I?' said
the farmer. 'The blame thing was
inside a bottle.' ”
NO CHANCE FOR COMPETITION.
The Illinois Central railroad run
through a large district of southern
Illinois familiarly .galled "Egypt"
out of deference to its largest town.~
Cairo. When the first tracks of the
railroad were being laid through
Egypt the divisoa superintendent of
construction went one day for a drink
of water beside the cabin of an old
Kentucky darkey, who had found free
dom and philosophy on the north side
of the Ohio river. The old man was
-moking his corncob pipe in the shade
of his sycamore tree.
"Well, Uncle Sambo." said the
railroad builder, as he hung up the
gourd on the well sweep again,
"don't you do any work at all?"
"Me? Yas. sahr I work six months
every winter on a flatboat on dat
river yonder."
"Well. I suppose when we get the
railroad through you will want to
come in with us, and get a job on a
flat car."
"What for?"
"To work, of course.”
"No sahr! Ain't nevah goin' to be
'nough work on your railroad to keep
no man busy six months in the yeah.
Can't you see dat river yonder, flowin'
flowin'?"
"Yes. what of it?"
• Well. sahr. de Lord he made dat
river to float things down on and dere
ain't no use buildin’ a railroad to
enter into competition with de Al- j
mighty."—Philadelphia Record.
TIED EM UP.
She might have handed them a ,
lemon, but she didn't, probably be
cause she didn't have one with her.
What she did have with her was a
nice liittle piece of pink ribbon. It
was in a theatre in Syracuse, N. Y.,
at a matinee performance. Of course,
the two men looked sadly out of place
sitting well down near the front, with
the house almost entirey filled up
with women. Worse than looking
out of place, they behaved badly, ;
They taiked to each other just as if
there wasn't anybody present who
cared anything about what was being
said on the stage. It was very annoy
ing to the people for several rows of 1
seats all around them, and especially
so for the young woman with the
great picture hat of snow white :
feathers and lace, and the elegant
snow white boa. She also had a box
of bon-bons, all bound 'round with a
pretty pink ribbon. After vainly try
ing to hear what the players on the
stage were saying, she deliberately
unwrapped the pink ribbon from
aound that box iof sweets, and, hand
ing it to the talkative young men,
said in a voice that was audible even :
beyond the zone of annoyance created
by the chattering men, "Here, tie;
'em up: I mean your mouths,” Those
two young men din't talk any more .
that afternoon, and almost everybody j
in that audience felt grateful to that j
young lady, even if she didn't think .
it worth while to take her big picture
bat off until an attendant in the
theatre told her to.
GOOD ADVICE.
One morning a Sunday school was
about to be dismissed and the young
sters were already in anticipation of
relaxing their cramped little limbs
after the hours of confinement on
straight-backed chairs and benches,
when the superintendent arose and.
instead of the usual dismissal, announ
ced: ”And now, children, let roe in
troduce Mr. Smith, who will give us
a short talk,”
Mr. Smith smiling arose, aDd after
gazing impressively around the class !
room, began with: ”1 hardly know
what to say,” when the whole school
watt convulsed to hear a small, thin
voice hack in the rear lisp:
"Tbay amen and tbit down!"
A
THK NE\" PENSION LAW.
It is probable th «» «*»«• **• ft con'
siderable number of war vet
erans iu Alaska who 're t0
(tensions under the new **r' *ce 1H>,1‘
sion law, who mar not understand
how to avail themselves of *lle benefit
of its provisions. They *H‘
pleased to learn that the i 'osion
bureau at Washington has doc '*°d
that the provisions of the new law
are so clear and explicit that it is un
necessary to issue any special rules
or regulations for their’enforcement.
Under the law it is unnecessary
for any prospective or present pen
sioner to consult an^_at tornoy or do
anything further than to fill out the
formal application blank, which is
furnished on application. It must be
tilled out before a notary. Care
must Ice exercised”in tilling it out
to be absolutely accurate, so that it
will correspond with the declaration
made by the pensioner at tlte time he
i entered the army. Nothing else will
i>e necssary. As soon as the official
inquiry establish the correctness
of the facts set out in the application
the pension will be granted.
On the back of the application, tin
full text of the law is printed, as it i;
very brief. The blanks will be mail
ed to those desiring them by the pen
sion bureau or they can he seeurei
from any senator or representative at
Washington.
The new law provides that any per
son who served ninety days or more
in the military or naval service of the
j United States during the late Civil
war. or sitxy days In the war witl
Mexico, and who has bee i honorably
discharged therefrom, and who ha
reached the age of sixty-two years
| or over, shall, upon making proof of !
such facts according to such rules and J
regulations as the secretary of tilt I
interior may provide, lie placed j
ujion the pension roll, and be entitled i
to a pension as follows: In ease such
person has reached the age of sixty- 1
two years, twelve dollars a month :|
seventy years, fifteen dollars per
month: seventy-five years or over,
twenty dollars per month, and such j
pension shall commence from the!
date of the Sling of the application
in the Bureau of tensions: provided,
that pensioners who are sixty-two^
years of age or over and who are ‘
now receiving pensions under exist
ing laws, or whose claims are pending
in the Bureau of pensions, may by
application to the commissioner of
pensions, in such form as he may
prescribe receive the benefits of this
act: and nothing herein contained
shall prevent any pensioner or person
entitled to a pension from prosecut
ing his claim and receiving a pension
under any other general or special:
act: Provided, that no person shall1
receive a pension under any other
law at the same time or for the same
period that he is receiving a pension
under the provisions of this act.
Section second says that rank in
the service shall not l>e considered in ;
applications filed hereafter.
Section third says that no pension
attorney, claim agent or other person
shall be entiled to receive any com
pensation for services rendered in
presenting any claim to the bureau !
of pensions, or securing any pension j
under this act.
