The Rev. A. ID. Stowe.

In speaking of the Rev. A. d. Stowe. the new
pastor of Ascension church in this city, the Anoka
Herald says:
ut is matter of universal regret that Anoka
is to lose so faithfula pastor and excellent a
citizen Rev. A. d. Stowe. who has closed his
pastoral labors in Anoka. Pure in precept and
practice, honest and true in b is convictions, with
a warm and generous nature. he ideal
citizen. In quiet and transformations manner he
did grand work among the poor, many of his
kindnesses being known only to those who were
benefited. He interested himself in all matters
that were of common good, and his 0iews were
those of practical man. Mrs. Stowe has also
shared her husbands popularity and being pos
sessed with musical ability of high order has
been a leading participant in many of the local
entertainments, and her removal will be loss to
the social and music loving part of COM
munity."

The Way to Fall Down.

"The special providence that seems to hover
over drunken men and children has something
of an explanation" said well-known and eminent
medical man to reporter, ''in the face of the
main cause of the breakage of bones from falls
being from a resistance of the tendons more often
than from the violence of the shock incident to
the actual fall. A child or intoxicated person
will rarely endeavor with any great effort to re.
cover their balance when they slip or topple over.
Hence no special resisting force is exercised, and
they sink into a collapsed heap without serious
injury. When an adult in possession of his sound
senses undertakes. with endless contortons and
gyrations, to save himself from going down. he
draws every muscle and snew taut, and If the
wrench is too severe the bone breaks. "-Stamford

Do you really think that our critique.al friend

to THE MIRROR being made medium of so
''Tam-many'' ''school-boy quarrels' and ''old
topper apologes?' If so. he should bear in mind
the old adage that people who live in glass houses
should throw no stones" Judging from his late
laborious effort he is considerable of a mud
singer himself, and for one fail to see in what
manner his 'Critique" is calculated to promote
the interests of THE MIRROR or of the inmates

Character is the man. Not what one does or
has. but what he is, constitutes the essential
thing concerning him. Men like coins, each
composed Of so much alloy, and bearing a certain
stamp that determines their moral value.

1t Is quite astonishing the number of we'll
meaning people who come up to Washington
in search of pension. They seem 10 think
that all they have 10 do il TO make personal
application at the bureau and the money will
be handed out to them at once There is q
general impression that nearly everybody is
getting a pension; that the pot is boiling,
and now is the time to dip In. A few days
ago forlorn looking man walked into the
pension bureau. He had walked 800 miles
from near Wheeling, w. Va. He had but
one shoe, was penniless and hungry and SIM
PLEAS any man must be who would do such
foolish thing. He could not legally prove
that he was entitled to pension, and of course
could not get one. In fact, he could not
prove anything, and in sort Of a half dazed
condition he started to walk back. Some Of
the clerks in the bureau passed around the hat
and raised s4 for him, that he might not
starve on the road. -f .
Washington is a bad place for poor man
without friends. The proper way for all
seeking pensions is to put their claim into
the hands of an agent. They run no risk in
doing this, since the law protects them al
regards fees. 1t is just as foolish for the
well to do Vermont farmer to make a jour
ney to Washington, hoping TO get a pen.
sion, as it was for the tramp from West
Virginia. Pensions are only granted aftei
certain facts have been legally proved
And the place to do that is at home.-Fullei

Thrifty Sons of Italy.
THEY COME POOR AS LAZARUS, BUT OPEN
BANK ACCOUNTS AND GET RICH.
The fruit-dealer IN an uptown ce

The fruit-dealer IN an uptown cor
ner, who Is raising family in Ameri-
ca but is still comparatively young
man, offered reporter nice orange
to try the other night. He attends to
the stand by night and his wife takes
care of it during the day time. The
reporter was at loss to understand
the reason for this unprecedented burst
of generosity on his part until be asked
his advice about savings banks. Natur-
ally the Bowery was suggested as one
of the most desirable, but there was an
objection to that. He had reached his
limit of $4,000 in that bank and above
that sum he could draw no interest.
The reporter named next at random,
the Bank for Savings, of Bleecker
street. He was in the same, apparent
ly to him unfortunate, position in that
bank, and then asked about the Green
wich. The reporter told him he thought
that was good bank, and, with an air
of relief, he pulled out book showing
that he had begun deposit there.
Alfred Cellier when he was here the
last time met one of those who go back
to Italy aoon. On his first voyage to
America Cellier asked young steer
age passenger what he proposed to do.
He did not know. His worldly posses.
sions consisted of pack and So in
money, but he did not worry in the
least. The next week he stopped
Cellier with bright smile of recognition
in front of Trinity Church. He was
already peddling candy. The next
visit Cellier ran across him again. He
had risen to the dignity of corner
stand of his own, and last fall Cellier
found him proprietor of fruit store
on Fourth avenue. He had an idea OF
going back to Italy for the winter. He
wanted $4,000 for his store and good
will, and if he could get that he proposed
to spend the winter at home, return il
the spring and go back to business
again. Neao York Press.
