SOUND DOCTRINE.


1t is cheering to note that all the old SOL
diers are not trying to grab as much of the
public money as they can. The principles o.
the Veterans Political league have the right
ring to them. These principles set forth
that every American citizen owes military
service to his country in time of war; that
pensions should be paid only to those who
were disabled In the service and to their fam
lilies after their death; that 1t would be I'M.
gracious to ask for more In view of the mu
nificent system of pensions already In opera
tion, together with the establishment o.
soldiers' homes and the preference given tt
veterans in public employment; that to th'
veterans who were not disabled in service
the consciousness of having discharged th'
noblest duty of American citizenship con
stitutes sufficient reward fo
the sacrifices they endured; tina
In time of peace every Ameri
can owes to his country the duty of earning
his own living, an obligation not weakened
by any service; that every veteran who &C
cepts pension while he Is able to supper
his family is lowering the tone of American
Independence and patriotism, and SELFISH.
increasing the burden of taxation upon hi
fellow-oitizens; that congress, legislature
and veteran organizations, in all measures
pertaining to soldiers, are bound to conside
the interests of the country first and of tn
soldier second; that any extension of the pen
sion system beyond the point already reached
especially In the direction of "service pen
sion," is unnecessary, demoralizipg. and per
| nicious.
This is sound. Nobody begrudges the oil
soldiers what they need, but inordinat
greediness doesn't accord we'll with patriot
ism and the rights of others.

How the BABY Was saved.


The anniversary of great snowslide (ihis

prise to recount q story connected with an
other slide of eight years later, in which two
men were killed and q woman and q baby

than abe began to call for her child, of whom
nothing was to be seen.
Soon some one said, 81 hear Q bsby'e

near where the demolished dwellings were
supposed to have stood. Ths faint cries of q
child were still heard at intervals, and after
what seemed q long time the spot from
which they proceeded was fixed with reason
able certainty, and digging was begun. -.
The snow was so compact that IL was dit
6cult to remove 1t with shovels, but the men
dared not use their picks, not knowing how
near the surface the baby might be.
All the while the crowd of bystsnders and
laborers was growing larger, and she cries
were becoming more distinct At last, wher
about four feet of snow had been dug
through, the top of cooking stove wa
reached.
The voice was then heard SO plainly thai
