Well Scattered Pcnuions.

It is not generally known that the oper
alton of the Civil War pension laws car
ries money periodically to men of all ma
tionalities, who live in all quarters of the
Globe. They are men who were disabled
IN the service of the United States, and
have not since the war taken the oath of
allegiance to any other government.
To begin near the fountain head, there
IS paid out of the national treasury one
hundred and twenty-five thousand dol.
lars annually to residents of Canada,
many of whom have not seen the United
States since they were mustered out at
Washington at the close of the war.
Ireland has two hundred and fifty pen.
sioners on the rolls, who draw on an aver
age Of twelve dollars a month land SIM
gle county in Eugland-Iancashire
has fifty pensioners. In Australia there
are enough pensioners to draw nearly
two thousand five hundred dollars year.
The Dark Continent has a round dozen
pensioners, living principally in Cape
Town, South L-frca; while Liberia is
represented by one lone widow, whose
husband was freed by the emancipation
proclamation, and who died of the inju.
ries he received in fighting the battles OF
"Massa Linkum."
Giuseppe Osboli, away in Southern
Italy, draws the modest little sum of six
dollars month for the fighting he did
some twenty odd years ago, and now
doubtless sits in the sun and eats maca
roni, while he details the deeds of valo;
for which the United States government:
still pays him so munificently.
Away down in the Mediterranean Sea,
In the little island of Malta, lives Greek.
by the name of Amabite Feneck, who
gets twelve dollars a month to remind
him of the time when he smelt powder
in the far-away land of America; and
his case is matched in Russia Finland
almost on the shores of the Arctic Ocean,
where lives one Alexander Wilson, who
served twenty years in the United States
navy, and who now draws pension OF
seventeen dollars month, which in that
land is an income worth having.

had yeur wit, your sweetness. too.
And loved like you. the spring.
Fondly do remember still
How dear 10 me were fields and flowers;
How dear the hearts in lighter hours
Made captive in the gay quadrille;
A merry child like you. my dears.
And such was at fifteen years.
Later. my heart. less wild and gay,
To one devout espousal moved;
And welded joys. how sweet arc they,
To love and to be lovedl
But sometimes, pensive and apart.
] prayed in secret signs to heaven
That some dear angel might be given
To stir in me a mothers heart;
Wife and fond mother too. my dears,
And such was at thirty years.
o later! Onward still and on
Time flies. like an advancing wave.
Aud Summer. Autumn, both are gone,
With all the joys they gave!
Yet. while we droop with age and pain.
The heart that to our babes we give
In their sweet innocence may live.
And with their babes be young again;
And such am at length. my dears.
With my full span of eighty years.

r"n-ir Ringing Fright-ns Fr"noh
Army Away From the Town.
The story is related of n little town
called F,.ldkirch, on the frontier of Aus
iria. ON the Ill, an afllu-nt of the Rnine.
In the year 1899, when the armies of
Napoleon were sweeping over the c"nti-
nent. MnsSena, one of his Generals, sud-
denly appeared on the heights above tho
town at the head Of $1,000 men.
1t was Easter day. and the morning
sun, nS it rose, Glittered on the weapons
of the French 1T the top of the range Of
hills to tho west Of Frldkirk The town
council hastily assembled to consult what
w,s To be done. Defense was impossible.
Should deputation he sent to Masscna
with the keys Of the town and petition
that he treat the place with mercy?
Then the old dean Of the church stood
up. 1T is Easter day" he said. "We
have been reckoning on our strength,
and that fails. Let us ring the bells aud
have service as usual, and leave the mat.
ter in higher hands" His words pre-.
vailed. Then all at once, from three or
four church towers in Feldkirl, the bells
began to clang joyful peals and the
streets filled with worshipp2rs fastening
to the church.
The French heard with surprise and
alarm the Sudden clangor of joy bells,
and concluding that the Austrian army
had arrived in the night to relieve the
place. Massena suddenly broke up his
camp, and before the bells had ceased
ringing not Frenchman was to be seen.

The Meaning of tho Word Chicago.

Mr.. Kirkland, in his book just pub
lished, "The Story Of Chicago" com
ments on the much-vexed question of
Chicago's name, which he derives from
the Indian term for wild and hardy
leek or onion that once grew luxuriantiy
between Chicago avenue and Twenty
second street. "Chickagou" is the orig
inal; "Che-cau-gou" in Hennepins story
of LaSalle's expedition; "Chicagua" by
a French historian; "Chikagu" by ST.
Cosme, visitor in 1899: "She-caugo,
meaning playful waters;" "Choc. ca
co." meaning "destitute; "Shegahg,
meaning skunk" and "Gitchi-ka-go,
meaning in the Illinois dialect thing
great or strong" are some of its sources
of derivation. Mr.. Kirkland takes com
fort of the word for the reason that all
these variations have probably "a single
radical meaning. They "denote some
thing strong whether like giant o,
like leek is not important. Chicago's
friends will attach their own interpreta
ton to the word. And what enemies
may do is not material. News.

TWELVE TIMES A WHOEVER

And Then Marries His Thirteenth Bride
Mexican Limit, asd the Enterprising
Yankee Bridegroom Is In Jail.
ZAcArECAs, MEX, July Crank C.
Lawson, an American mechanic of this city,
has been arrested and placed In Jail on the
charge of exceeding the limits prescribed
bv an old Mexican law still in force regulat-
ing matrimony.
Lawson came here about four years ago
from the City of Mexico. bringing with him
pretty Spanish woman as his wife. She
died two months after their arrival, and
Lawson soon took another young wife. She
died, also and the American continued to
exercise his matrimonial propensities at o
rate that astonished the natives, particularly
as none of the wives lived longer than two
or three months after becoming bride.
Lawson never wore weeds longer than three
months after the deaths of his wives, when
he would repeat the matrimonial expert
ment
The people of the city are very conserva-
tive in such matters, and they let Lawson
alone with his remarkable and unfortunate
domestic affairs until three days ago, when
it was learned he had married his 18th wife
since his arrival in Zacatecas The author
tiles began working on the case, and, as
there was no evidence at hand to show that
his 10 previous wives died from other than
natural causes, he was arrested under the
law enacted many years ago. which pro-
hibits man entering into the matrimonial
state more than nine times.
Lawson, therefore, has four offenses to
answer for, and will probably receive long
term in prison. He is about 40 years old
and we'll educated. He has resided in Mex
leo Is years.

COMFORT FOR The AGED.
Food Better Than Medicine Dosing-What
Physicians Saw About Lactatsd Food

''The old folks do not need medicine so much ss
they do pure and nourishing food.'' said physi-
clan yesterday.
"ln three or four score years of life, great
many tons of food have been digested and this
wear and tear results in weakness of the digestive
organs. Stimulate them with medicine he con-
tinued, land the effect is speedy destruction.
Nourish them with easily digested and strength
ening food. and strength will RETURN
The best physicians in the world endorse this
theory. And they have found that lactated food,
the perfect food for infants, whose digestive
organs are of the weakest, gives the same happy
success when used for the aged.
Albert A. Mcdonald, NJ. D., consulting physi-
ciau of the Infants Home and physician in the
General Hospital, Toronto. Ont, says: II have
used lactated food for time and have found it
especially useful in of impaired digestion in
infants and old people,
DIR. Thomas G. Heron of Cincinnati, says: IT
is with honest satisfaction that 1 recommend lac
tated food. have used it with perfect success In
large number of cases both of the infant and the
aged"
In many families lactated food is used by nearly
every one in the family. 1t gives the baby firm
flesh strong bones and rosy cheeks; 1t forms
pleasant and strengthening variation of the
mothers diet while it is the only food that will
easily digest and satisfy the hunger of the aged
grandparents.

$40 last night and arrived here at 12:40
o'clock this morning over the Pittsburg,

news of fatal accident and one of the most
extraordinary that ever occurred on a rail-

Tins of the catastrophe, both of whom,
Pierce Richardson and Otto Fiendling,
lived in this city. Richardson, who was
the engineer, and Fiendling, the fireman,
had charge OF the first section of westbound
freight train No. 81, that left here last
evening for Chicago. The train sidetracks
south of Chicago to allow the eastbound
freight 80, known as Armour's fast meat
train, to pass.
There was a layover there of about 15
