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. Savannah News." 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.” State op Ohio, City op Toledo / Iitjoas County. j 1 Frank J.

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.
