Rooster CLAWS for Finger Nails,

Frederick Stoya, an engineer at the
Stuart & Patterson hollow ware man
ufactory at Burlington, N. J., who is
replacing his finger nails with rooster
claws. is confident he will be success
ful. The second and third fingers got
under the sharp blade of the cutter
and they were severed between the
nail and the first joint. DR.. Z. S. Ian
sing dressed the injury, but Stoya was
not satisfied with the loss Of two nails.
He was a medical student in the Han.
over College in Germany before he
came TO this country, nine years ago.
He conceived the idea of grating
rooster's claws in the place ofthe miss
ing nails. Fifteen days after receiving
the injury he chopped the head off a
Plymouth Rock rooster, and before
life was extinct he cut off the claws.
He washed them in carbolic acid,
made an incision on his own fingers
between the skin and flesh and insert
ed the claws With their fbrous ends.
The graft was a success. In a month
Stoya is confident the roosters claws
will present every appearance OF hui
man finger nails.

THE JUSTICE LONG CASE.

AS we said at first, the Justice Long case
will go to the Supreme Court of the United
States. Justice Cox, of the Supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia, has, as was ex-
pected from the character of the man and
his Southern sympathies, rendered decis-
ion adverse to Justice Long. The case next
goes to the Court of Appeals, where an
other adverse decision is expected, as the
three members are all men from south Of
Mason & Dixon's Line and appointees of
Mr.. Cleveland They can be relied on to
take the narrowest views of pension laws.
The next step will be to go to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and there 1t is
expected decision will be rendered that it
is the duty of the Commissioner of Pensions
to execute the laws of the United States in
accordance with their intent and spirit, and
not according to his own private ideas.

THE KENNETH CASE.

Congressman o'NeiI thought he rose to
the dazzling nights of eloqusnce when he
reared:
The Bennett case has been herRIded all over the
land rs an outrage the old soldier and the reyo-
caiiSa Of Order l61 bss been denounced rs an out.
rage on the old soldier aud the " hole Administra-
ton denounced, and the gallant Union veteran at
the head of the Pension Bureau denounced as n
traitor. while the Secretary of the Interior, who
was but nine and half years old when the war
closed, has been upbraided for being a rebel
brigadier.
Now what have the facts that Commissioner
LOchren was gallant soldier and Secretary
Smith but 81 years old when the war closed
to do with the fact that Bennett was really
a broken-down old man, trembling with the
weight Of his 20 years and severe dis
ability received in line of duty? Because
Commissioner Lochren did his duty CALAMITY
and Secretary Smith was too young to fight
for the rebellion, does it therefore follow
that il is right that other Union veterans
who have done their duty equally well shall
be deprived of their dues?
The Bennett suspension was indefensible
as thousands of others of which it is the
type. While acting as guard in North Car
olina, Bennett was Frustrated by asevere sum
stroke, from which he has since suffered
severely, and almost continually. The evil
dence is On file as TO his receiving the in
jury, and also evidence from his physicians
who have treated him for years that he is
periodically Frustrated by it, so as to be I'M
able to do work for months. Besides, he is
now past 20.
Again we say, that the military service
of the Commissioner and the youth of the
Secretary are not material offsets to the
actual facts of the Bennett case.

"vEsTED RIGHTS"

Judge Cox, in his decision in the Long
case, and Commissioner ochren, In his COM
munication TO the House OF Representatives,
labor hard to give narrew, technical mean
ing to the term vested rights" which will
tell to the utmost against The pensioner. Both
indulge in special pleading to make the
strongest possible case against the men who
are the Nations creditors.
No matter how much effort may be made,
by aid of musty precedents and decisions
wrenched to make them ft, to distort the
meaning to their purposes, there will still
remain the broad, POPULAR meaning, which
is the just one.
Webster defines the verb rest as follows:
To cloths with possession; as. to vest person
with estate; also. to give person an immediate
fixed right of present or future enjoyment OF.
And vested rights" he defines:
Not in state of contingency or suspension;
fixed; as, vested rights, vested interests.
The Century Dictionary gives this defni-
tion:
Already acquired; existing in contemplation OF
law, in a certain person owner. Noting the
quality of present absolute right interest, as
stinguished from TINT which is defeasibie Not
in a state of contingency suspension; fixed.
There can be no successful dispute that
any man who honorably served the Govern
ment and was disabled in that service has
in equity vested right to pension. The
promise of a pension was definite item in
the contract the Government made with him
when he entered its service. 1t was just as
much and just as essential portion of that
contract as the Governments stipulations
that it would give him food, clothing, medi
cal attendance, and so much pay per month.
Soldiers of previous wars had their vested
rights acknowledged in their most concrete
form in the shape of land warrant. This
gave them "a vested right in an estate"
in portion of the public domain, to be
selected at pleasure from any part of the
public lands not otherwise appropriated.
This brought their vested rights within the
highest class known to English or American
laws relating to property-the possession of
real estate in fee simple.
In lieu of the land warrant it was stipu-
lated that the soldiers of the war of the
rebellion should have adequate pensions"
and no legal jugglery or wrenched technical
ism should be allowed TO repudate that
stipulation.
The covenant the United States made
with the soldier upon enlistment vested in
him right to a pension in the event Of his
disablement, and that right is as clear and
impreenable as the right he has to the house
he lras erected with the labor of his hands
or the crops that he has sown, watched, har-
vested and garnered.

The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper il
nE
..@ America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue, Washington, d. G.
Price, only 80 Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is a great Ma
tional agricultural paper. It circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
it has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest to all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, or in
any of the Departments of the Government.
This will be Of particular importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be
prolonged and bitter struggle in Congress
over the policy Of protecting farm products.
THE AMERICAN FARMER is on the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program of placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. IL denounces this as
making the farmers bear the greatest part of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
in favor of other interests. Every one who
favors justice and right to farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally to
it's support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
schedules.
The paper is large eight-page Quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filled with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The American Farmer for one year for
$1.25. Presentsu bscrbers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The AmericdR Farmer
for one year by sending 25 cents additional.

At one of the uptown grammar schools q
mathematical prodigy turned up the other day,

tripped up By an unsophisticsted youth.
The gentleman in question called az the

being called to the recitation bench with a
hugo double slate aud a brand-new soapstons
pencil ready for the fray. the visitor launched
the following notify problem for solution, which
has done service so long:
There is well 100 feet deep, into which
cat has fallen, and every time the cat climbs up
two feet it falls back four feet; how long viii
it take before the animal is rescued from the
well?
DO You think you can solve this problem,
John?" asked the interlocutor with a wonder
fully wise look.
80, yes. sir, can figure that cat out OF thas
well sure"
So right to work he went and In few min
utes had all sides of his slate covered with ig-
ures.
second slate was furnished, and that was
soon filed up with computations.
With sarcastic look the visitor said: "John,
you might as well give up this contest, for the
solution is absolutely impossible"
90 no. SIR" exclaimed the smart boy. II I
can get another slate I'll Just figure that cat
