A CENTENNIAL QuERY. IA gentle.
man born on the 9Th OF February. 1926,
which quarter Of tho present century
was he born inf" The Boston Journa.
elucidates the point thus: "As the
year 1900 was the first year Of the cen.
tury. 1901 the socoLl, and 1902 the
third year. and so On, II follows that tho
year 1924 was the twenty.ffth year oi
the century. thus winding mp tho first
quarter Of the century with December
ii, 1924"
Per contra. was "tke year 1900 the
first Of the century," Suppose the
present century TO have been the first In
the history Of the era-then what
should We call the year corresponding to
1860. as reckoned above? We couldn't
call 1t nothing. and say that a man. for
instance. was " born on the Sth of jan
uary. o." Tho irst year. then. would
be the year 1. and tho yoar 2 would DO
the second year. and the year 25 would
be the 25th year. thus winding up the
hrst quarter Of the first century. Hence
the year 100 would he needed to com.
plste the century. aud. by the same
reasoning-following down the flight OF
tims-the year 1900 would be needed to
complete the eighteenth century. so that
the year 1901 would really be- the begin.
ming Of this century, and tho year 1926
would fall within the first quarter OF the
century. Here are two sides OF this
question.

A Mint Of Terror.

Last Thursday evening. says the Des

Mr.. MCGEE. two other gentlemen, and
Miss Lou Dolly and Jacob Cross, John
and . lad sixteen years old
named George Trumlsy, attempted to
cross the Mississippi from Port Byron

fierce west wind blow, while the river
was full OF floating ice. But the boat

cross, 90 they set out a, . 20 in the even.

the Iowa shore. but could get no nearer.
Darkness had set In. The ice and waves
bsat pitilessly against the boat, and the
spray froze a il descended upon them.
II was deemed best TO return and seek
again the Illinois shore. Within one
hundred feet Of IL. however. they found
Il impossible to get nearer through the
rapidly forming ice. aud yet 1t was not
strong enough to bear them. The situ-
alton wal appalling. S~enthouse took
hold OF a rope and stepped upon the ice
and went down nearly to his neck. The
party saw him beat about in the ice and
water. endeavoring to mako his way to
land. but he disappeared in the darkness,
and nothing has been heard OF him.
With the ice the yawl continued TO float
down stream. Gross determined TO get
out Of the boat and mako for shore.
SEEKING the oars. by their aid he WAS
successful. In the meantime young
Trumley had thrown himself, chilled aud

and the rest were nearly senseless with
cold. Helpless, they drifted with the
wind and current. Gross o o sum.

two miles below. The next thing wal

sufferers tied TO themselves and were
drawn out through water and over ice.

fearfully imperiled were thus rescued.

that tho very method shs had adopted TO

was the surest way TO invite the grim
enemy. Passing down North Paul
street. they crossed Vincent Place

child cried. and tho mother, thinking
that the cold wind from the gulf below
troubled the little one. drew her closer
to her breast and wrapped the shawl
more closely. Tho child cried once
moro upon Lake avenue. and then was
still. II never moved again. II had

ANOTHER RELIC or the REBEL
LION.

RELIC or THE REBkI~
LION.
The Confederate element in the House
Of Representatives again shows its head.
A few days ago a bill was introduced by
Congressman Harris Of Virginia, "to
TO the pension rolls persons
of for disloyalty." II the title
OF this bill conveys . clear idea Of its
purport. tho principle involved Is . bad
one and deserves reprobation. Pensions
are granted BY governments TO faithful
subjects for meritorious services. Hav.
ing this idea in view. and with intent to
recognize such services by appropriate
aid. from time 10 time our Congresses
have passed laws providing for the PEN
sioning Of wounded and aged soldiers
and sAlon serving in the various vars
In which the government has been en-
gagged. Many Of the pensioners Of the
Mexican war and q few who served
the government in conflicts OF
earlier date. were borne upon the
rolls in 1860. and Of this number .
goodly portion engaged either actively
or Indirectly with the ~Conisdsraey in
fighting the United states Government
during the late war. As the names OF
these persons became known they were
by a Law Of Congress dropped from the
pension rolls. The Government as
sumed-and Justly we think-that no
past services could DO Of sufficient value
to excuse present disloyalty. and further
more. that il was neither just o
polite to continue to give support to
those Who we're. in all possible modes.
seeking for its overthrow. But now
comes Congressman harris and desires
10 restore the names Of such persons to
the pension rolls. We fail to SEQ the
justice OF such . course. The Amnesty
bills passed by Congress have restored
these citizens 10 citizenship, bat they
have not and cannot take away the
record OF ~disloyalty which has been made
BY them. A pension Is q matter Of
generosity. not Of absolute right. The
discharge Of a soldier from the service
ends his connection with the Govern
mont. He agrees for 30 much per
month 10 serve his country. He takes
the risks OF manning or death. which
that service carries. But our ao'srn-
msnt. In generosity not because issaly

and discharged soldiers. 80 was win
