IN LINE OE DUTY.
An Interesting story That Turns on the
Construction of the Phrase.

An Interesting story That Turns on the
Construction of the Phrase.
Official construction of the term,
'ln the line of duty" in the matter of
granting pensions has caused so much
discussion that the following story,
told by IA gentleman connected with
governmental affairs in st. Louis, will
be found interesting. Said he:
speaking of the official construction
of the phrase, In the line of duty
recalls a case to my mind. During
the war there were thirty Tennessee
regiments, composed of what were
called loyal men, One of these regi-
ments was operating in East Tennes-
see, at given period. In one of the
companies of the regiment was a man
who found himself upon a particular
occasion within only one mile of home,
where a mother and only sister re-
sided. He secured permission from
his First Lieutenant to pass the night
at home The guerillas were exceed
ingly thick in the Reighborhood about
that time, and rs the man was known
to have joined the Union forces. a
close watch was kept for his return
home, of which he was aware. By
close watchfulness he reached home
in safety but feared to remain under
the parental roof all night. Taking a
small boy cousin with him he repaired
to the woods to pass the night. intend
ing to visit home again in the.morn-
ing. Shortly after midnight his hid

a friendly Confederate shortly after
discovered the victims still alive. and
placing them in boat. rowed them
down the Tennessee river and deliv-
cred them into the Union lines. The
man. after having fourteen pieces of
cold lead taken from his body. recOv-
cred. In due time he made application
for a pension Meanwhile the Lieu
tenant who had granted him permits
sion to visit his family that fateful
night had died. He had no evidence
except his unsupported word that he
was absent by authority The Wash
lngton authorities refused his appli-
cation for pension because. as they
construed the law. be had not received
his injuries while in the line Of DUTY,
congress. however. by a special act,
granted the pension. and. "a | think.

One Hundred Years Ago.

There were no express companies
then. In 1889 William f. Harndon, of
Boston, at the suggestion of some
friends, advertised that he would make
regular trips as a messenger between
Boston and New York and would take
personal charge of such small pack
ages and orders as were entrusted to
him. He made his first trip March 4
of that year. AS a matter OF business
and TO secure the influence of the
press in the two cities, Mr. Harndon
brought news both ways in advance of
the mails. In 1910 an express was
put on the line via Norwich and Wor-
cester by 2. b. Burke and Allen. Adj
ans, but the sole management of the
business soon passed into the hands of
Mr.. Adams. W. B. DinsmOre soon
Joined Mr.. Adams and took charge of
the New York end Of the line. In
1841 the Harndon company extended
its line to Philadelphia and Albany.
The same year new line was started
by Henry Wells from Boston to the
West under the name of Wells & Co.
In 1S49 the Adams was extended to
California. and in 1852 the Wells line,
under the name of Wells. Fargo & Co..
reached the Pacific coast. From this
small beginning has grown up a system
that has become as important and nee
essary as the postal system itself. and.

How. pray, is that done?"
The leader OF the herd. generally

that his followers should have some
