A few years ago, while Robert
Steward was governor of Missouri,
a steamboat man was brought in
from the penitentiary as an appli
cant for a pardon, says a writer
in Success. He was a.large, pow
erful fellow, and, when the Gov
ernor looked at him he seemed
strangely affected. He scrutinized
him long and closely. Finally,
he signed the document that re
stored the prisoner to liberty.
Before he handed it to him he
said: ‘ ‘You will commit some oth
er crime, and be In the penitenti
ary again, I fear.”'
The man solemnly promised
that he would not. The Govem-
on looked doubtful, mused a few
minutes, and said:
“You will go back on the river
and be a mate again, I suppose?”
The man replied that he would.
“Well, I want you to promise
me one thing,”, resumed the Gov
ernor. “I want you to pledge
your word that, when you are
mate again, you will never take a
billet of wood in your hand and
drive a sick boy out of a bunk to
help you load your boat on a stor
my night.” The steamboat-man
said he would not, and; inquired
what the Governor meant by. ask
ing him such a question.
The Governor replied: “Because,
somerday, that: boy may become a
Governor, and you may want Mm
to pardon you for a crime. One
dark, stormy night, many years
ago, you stopped your boat on the
Mississippi river to take on a load
of wood. There was a boy on
board who was working his pas
sage from New Orleans to St. Lou
is, but he was very sick of fever
and was lying in a bunk. Yon
had plenty of men to do the work,
but you went to that boy with a
stick of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses
out into the wretched night, and
kept him toiling like a slave un
til the load wp,s completed. I was
that boy. Here is your pardon.
Never again be guilty of such bru
tality.”
The man, cowering and hiding
his face, went out without aword.

An able and valued contempo
rary wisely remarks:
“Some people do not know that
an editor’s selections from Ms
contemporaries are quite often
the best test of his editorial abil
ity, and the function of scissors
is not merely to fill up vacant
places, but to reproduce the
brightest and best thoughts, and
the most attractive news from all
sources at the editor’s command
There are times when the editor
opens Ms exchanges and finds a
feast for eyes, heart and soul
The thoughts of his contempora
ries glow with life. He wishes Mb
readers to enjoy the feast; and he
lovingly takes up his scissors and
clips and clips, and sighs 16 think
that his space is-inadequate to
contain all the treasures so prodi
gaily spread before him. Your
true editor is generous, and will
sacrifice his own ambition as
writer during such, festal occa
sions, and it is of far more profit
to his readers to set before them
the original dish of dainties with
the label of the real author affix
ed than to appropriate the ideas
and though! s to himself and re
produce them as his own. After
all, the true test of a paper’s real
value is not the amount of the
original matter it contains, but
the average quality of all the
matter appearing in its colums
whether original or selected.”
We are glad to find this vindi
cation of that trusty, robust edit
orial adjunct, the scissors. Clip
pings generally represent the
cream of current literature, and
yet there are many persons who
fail to appreciate the fact.
Pensions Claimed By 34,000.
The President’s Workshop.
‘ ‘The whole east end of the
White House on the second floor
is given up to public! purposes—
the offices of the President, his
secretaries and the executive clerks,
the Cabinet Room and the Tele
graph Room,” writes Rene Bache,
in the Ladies’ Home Journal.
“For convenience the room last
named adjoins President McKin
ley’s own office, and the electric
apparatus which it contains places
him in communication by tele
graph with all parts of the world,
and by telephone with all points
reached by the long distance sys
tem. A special kind of telephone,
which has no ‘central,’ enables
him to converse privately with the
heads of the Departments. The
Cabinet Room ia about one-third
as big as it should be, and the li
brary next to it contains ah infe
rior collection of.books, consisting
mainly of out-of-date editions of
historical and classical works. A
glass door across the mam corri
dor, which runs lengthwise through
the White House, shuts off the of
fices described from the sleeping
quarters of the family.”

Many inquiries have been made
recently at tbe pension office in
Washington as to the status of
claims filed for pensions by sol
diers of the Spahish-American war,
Commissioner Evans says that
the bureau scarcely. had time to
respond to all the inquiries, but
that the claims were being adjudi
cated as rapidly as possible. He
added that some of the claimB had
been delayed by the difficulty in
obtaining, the necassary official
records in the war department.
“There haveTbeen 34,000 claims
on account of the Spanish-Ameri
can war up to Monday, October
22,” says the commissioner.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern
which is not afraid to be gener
ous. The proprietors of Dr. Eng’s
New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds have given away
over ten million trial bottles and
have the satisfaction of knowing
it has cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, brochitis, lagrippe
and all throat, chest and lung dis :
eases are surely cured byit. Call

Ships can now gO'td sea with

utilizing liquid air on warships
has been discovered wMch will
render the explosion of a maga
zine, even while the ship is in ac
tion, almost impossible. The
method is to so place the liquid
air that it will freeze the ammu
nition to several hundred degrees
below zero. In that condition it
could not explode, even if a shell
should burst in the magazine.-
