GREAT THING TO KEEP COOL
But Presence ot Mind Is Not Indicated by
 Absence of Trousers.

But Presence or Mind IS Not indicated Dy
 Absence of Trousers.
 Friends of ex-Congressman William R. Morrison, of Illinois, are telling an anecdote of uncertain date relating to the chairman of the interstate com merce commission which forms rather cheerful reading for cold weather. Col. Morrison believes in the efficacy of dis. cipline of the mind. He has spent a great part of his eventful career in hotels, and one of his theories has al. ways been that the mind can be so trained that the biggest sort of hotel is powerless to sidetrack the reasoning faculties on occasions when presence oi mind is needed He impressed his theories very strongly upon Mrs. Nor rison by conjuring up variety of crit ical exigencies and instructing her how to act in given cases.
 Fate would have it that the colonel should be put to the test He and his wife were aroused from their slumbers one night by an alarm of fire. The hotel in which they had their rooms was afire and great confusion and tu- mutt ensued among the guests.
 ''Now is the time to put into practice what have always preached to you, my dear" said the colonel. Don't get excited. Put on all your indispen- sable apparel and take your time. Don't lose your head. Just watch me. !"
 He calmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety, handed her the various articles neces- sary to her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs, took his watch from under his pillow and placed it in his vest pocket, put ou his hat, packed valise of valu- ables, and taking his cane, walked with Mrs. Morrison out of the burning building into the street
 "Now, my dear" he said when they were safe, don't you see what grand thing it is to keep cool and act with a deliberate purpose in an emergency like this? Here you are completely dressed as though you were going out for walk, and over wonder are several ladies in complete dishabille."
 Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first time glanced at her husband.
 You are right, William" she said, ''it is grand thing to keep cool and act deliberately, but if had been you l would have stayed in the room long enough to put on my trousers. Wash ington Post

PENSION QUESTIONS SETTLED.
Several Decisions Handed Down of Im-
 portance to the Public.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--Several de- cisions on pension questions have been promulgated by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds In the case of the dependent mother of Abraham Woods of the Twenty. second New Jersey volunteers, who died in the service, the de- partment holds that where the fa- ther and the mother of the soldier are without property and the father is un- able to support the family, the mother is dependent within the meaning of the law. Her claim was recently re. jected by the commissioner of pensions, and his action is overruled.
 The assistant secretary also holds that muster-in is not essential to the questionable status of soldier, who has been regularly, according to mili- tary law enlisted in the military service of the government. The ruling re- verses the action of the pension bureau.
