WIDOWS OF Hren AND Low DEGREE

Not many Americans viii object 70
pensioning comfortably the widow Of a
gallant officer who has died in the serY-
ice of his country, or of one who has
given to the country the years when lie
might have amassed private fortune,
and has died poor man. Bat 1t IS the
growing tendency to abuse this custom
and extend it to persons to whom II
was never meant to apply that many
Americans do object to.
This matter deserves consideration be-
cause Of the growing tendency To grant
pensions To the widows Of deceased FED
eral officers. The simple fact that =
man has long been drawing salary from
the government in the civil or military
service il coming TO be accepted as a
reason why such provision should be
made for his family when he dies, even
though the plea Of poverty may be lack
ing. This IL particularly true concern
inc officers of high degree, thus lavoI-
inc the idea that the larger the salary
las been the greater the right j. 20 a
pension. The manifest lnJustlceoi Such
a discrimination is presented IN the law
which makes il necessary for the Woo"
of 4 private soldier TO show that she has
no means of support but her own labor
before she eau get the pittauce OF 50 or
SD per month, and the proposition pend
ing in congress TO so amend tins law That
She can obtain pension by proving that
her annual income does not exceed SSOU

improviGent expenditure. When claims
Of this order are antagonized, 1T is time

GIudness Comes

WIN better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due To any actual dis
ease. but simply TO a constipated eondi-
ton Of the system. which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrupof Figs, prompt
~ removes. That is why it IS the only
remedy with millions of families. and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness. without facilitating the
organs on which ii acts. It's therefore
an important. in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

THERE is no better way of judging a
man s character, or estimating his worth
than his opinion OF woman and the esti-
mate he puts upon her. II matters not
what he is physically or intellectually,
the key note to his morality is sounded
when he gives forth bis opinion of the
opposite sex. Not long since at dinner
at a popular club, one of the members
responded to the toast to woman de-
nouncing her in general and in particu-
lar. At the close Of the speech another
member rose and said Il trust the gen
tleman refers exclusively to his sisters
and mother and not to ours The re-
tort had the desired effect. Young
women beware of young men who do
not put high estimate upon woman.
They arc worse than dangerous.

WHENEVER very important dis
covery, like that of the N-rsy of Prof.
Roentgen, is made, it is astonishing how
many professors knew all about it be-
fore. Thus several scientists of Europe,
and at least half dozen in America,
tell us that Roentgen's find is no great
thing. 1--WE obtained the rays long
ago. Well, why did they not tell the
newspapers about it, theny The news
papers are ever ready to advance the in
