The government pays about S14c,-
100000 year to pensioners. The pay
ments LAST year were $141 ,3D5, ,229.
Every one of these dollars was worth
100 cents and equal to dollar in gold.
If the policy of the Chicago platform
end party should be made effective by
Legislation, every dollar thereafter re-
ceived by pensioner would be worth
only SO cents. 1t would be called dol
lar, but in the purchase of a pension
er's supplies it would go only so far as
SO cents go now. The buying power of
the pensioners monthly allowance, like
that of the depositor's money, still to be
paid out of the savings bank, and the
value of policies to be paid by. life in
surance companies, would be reduced
by nearly one-haif.-N. Y. Times.

EASTER SERVICES.
How the st. Johnsbury Churches Will
Celebrate this Holy Day.

The silvery slopes of Ovet
Were stepped in my site gloom,
Save where the morning star, unset,
Hung DER the garden tomb;
When to the angels watching there,
Across the shadows dim
Came thrilling through the hallowed air
That earliest Easter hymn
"The Lord is risen /"
Yet many a sunlit southern strand
Still waits for what may come,
And many league of darkenen land
This Easter-tide is dumb.
They watch for signs athwart the sky,
They faint beneath their woe;
mo hope in mad despair they cry
Would God they could but know
THE Lord is risen"
o, heroes Of the living God
Scale each beeagured height
And flash out bravely clear and broad,
Your beacon's splendid light;
Till from Uganda's blood. ST. aimed walls
Comes back the glad refrain,
And far Korea's answering calls
Unite with Congo's strain
"The Lord Is risen.
