Proceedings in habeas corpus for the
release of George Wagenen, who had
been enlisted at the Kennebec Arsenal in
the United States army by Major John
R. McGinnis, the commandment, were
commenced in the United States District
Court before Judge Webb, yesterday.
The prisoner, who sat in the dock, APP
peared as mature as most men of the le-
gal age of 81.
Mary G. Purcell, mother of the petit
toner, testified that he was not yet 81
years of age and also of the details relat-
ing to her marriage to Wagenen's father
and her subsequent divorce.
Mrs. Purcell sister testified that she
was six years old when George was born
and remembered perfectly that the
birthday was August 20, 1874. The
brother, VIM. 0. Wagenen, in his evil
dence, corroborated the testimony of
the other two witnesses.
Major McGinnis testified for the gov
eminent as to the enlistment and declar-
alton of the petitioner that he was p
years and three months old at the time
of his enlistment, November 9, 1898.
Sergeant Webster, U. S. A., also testi-
fed to the same effect as the major, and
also that frequent absences had been
granted petitioner to go home and see
his parents.
City Marshal Bean of Augusta, testi-
fed that Mary G. Purcell is not woman
of truth and veracity.
The government here introduced the
record Of the conviction of Mary c. Pur-
cell for obtaining fraudulent pension in
1888, which she did not attempt to deny,
but admitted she was the woman there
recorded.
The case here rested for the present,
adjournment being taken to p. m.
Wednesday to permit the counsel for the
petitioner to obtain further evidence.
E. w. Whitehouse of Augusta, appeared
for the petitioner, and District Attorney
Dyer for the government.

THE NEW YEAR.

Everyone Should Start Out With the
Intention OF Making It . Happy
One.
Every one Of our actions finds its re-
reflection in the life Of some one else.
No matter how humble may be our
surroundings, we have an influence on
some other life. Individual good cheer
means general happiness. II we are
bright we brighten our neighbor; the
neighbor Is an emissary to the commu-
nifty, and the community, in turn, t.
the great world at large.
Thus in the year before us we have Il
pretty much In our own hands. Ma
tional advantages are ours; we need
only supply the individual elements.
The past is valuable only for the les
sons it can teach; the present for its OPP
portunities; the future for it's possibiu-
ties. Whatever the past year may have
meant to you make it dead history.
But let the new year be Z living issue.
With big, fresh sponge, dripping with
the clear water Of forgiveness, wipe
clean the slate Of your heart. Enter
the year with kind thought for every
one. You need not kiss the hand that
smote you, but grasp it in cordial good
feeling, and let the electricity of your
own resolves find its connecting cur
rent-which very often exists where We
think it not. An il-natured thought
often makes us unhappier than the per-
son to whom it is directed. A happy
mind is an elixir, and as are the spirits
Of the wife in the home, so win be
those Of the husband, who in turn will
carry them into the outer world. Do
nestle happiness often colors CONNER
cial prosperity: The hearthstone is the
corner of the counting room. An un-
happy wife makes blue merchant Az
we men live at home, so we work In
the outer world.
Therefore, to the thousands, yea,
may say the million and more Of
women to whom I speak with these
words, let me say: Make the new year
q happy one in your home; be bright Of
disposition; carry your cares easy; let
your heart be as sunshine, and your life
will give warmth to all around you.
And thus will you and yours be happy.

SMOKING Cinnamon CIGAR
ETTES.

The Inxidious Substitute With
Law.
The smoking of cigarettes or tobacco
by boys under the age Of sixteen has
been practically stopped in Connecticut
by what is known as the anti-cigarette
law, which made the sale Of cigarettes
and tobacco a misdemeanor. A subst-
tute was recently put on the market by
a manufacturer. who, according to the
New York Evening Post, evidently
thinks there is fortune in the pas.
sion which boys have for initiating
their elders. The substitute is the Gin
namon cigarette, which does not con-
tain any tobacco, and therefore does
not violate the law. It is made Of Gin
namon bark, shredded when wet so as
to resemble tobacco. The smoking Of
these cigarettes, which have not an un-
pleasant taste, has become fad with
the Connecticut youth. So common is
the practice that boys Of six and eight
years are seen putting the cinnamon
substitute. Parents, however, regard 1t
as only little less Objectionable than
tho tobacco cigarette, because it creates
in the boy fancy for smoking to
which he will almost inevitably yield
when he gets out of knickerbOcke
In Hartford remcnstranCe against the
sale Of the cinnamon cigarette has been
made by the principals Of the schools
to whom complaint was made by par
ents, and in some instances the dealers
have promised to stop the sale OF it.

QUIT 1T.

Kansas Is our common state and every
citizsn in the state should stand by it.
All do not Already the stories of ter
ribIe drouth are being sent out by news
paper correspondents who are rapacious
after few pennies.
The people of the United States are
set in their belief that Kansas and
drouti are synonymous terms. The
western newspaper correspondents APP
pear to be determined to convince the
eastern people of this fact
From Kansas the most extravag2nJ
stories of suffering and deprivation 60
out yearly. 1t makes no difference
whether Kansas has crop or not, It
must always suffer these damaging
droutn stories which nine times out of
ten are the delirious Confortions Of
some warped intellect. 1t may be
little dry in some parts OF Kansas.
What of it? Western Pennsylvania is
burning up with terrible drouth. The
wheat there has curled up and died.
The roads are knee deep in sitting dust.
The cattle are mere shadows and their
homes rattle as they wander about des-
perately hunting in vain for single
spear of grass. How much do the Penn
sylvania newspapers say about il: Three
little lines have leaked out To the world
about it. Kansas has never had a worse
drouth than that which is now devas
tating Pennsylvania, but Kansas MUS
stand the odium of being the very hot
! bed and cradle of all drouthS.
The newspaper correspondents should
stir up their imaginations in another
! line. Kansas is full of novelties. The
drouth stories were at one time novel
ties. But they have failed TO remain SO.
The public, even the eastern public, has
tired of them. Let the lurid correspon-
| dent try something new, and give us 4
rest from his imagined drouths
