The Insurance Man Had Met Her Outside

"Novelists have always taken liberties
with the funny little old woman, said the

ence with one in real life. She happened
to be going from one depot to another at
the same time that did, and had no hesi-
fancy in asking me to lend her my arm,
precisely as though she had me under sal
airy for rendering just that sort of service.
"She was a sprightly old body, but thin
as her voice and dressed in colors that
would have, been fatal in bull ring. 1t
was a strain even on my gallantry, but
piloed her safely through, pulling her out
of the way of buses, street cars and
switching trains. l could see that she was
disposed to hold me responsible for all
these annoyanoes, but made full allow
ance for her peppery disposition, and res
cued her big invoice of personal property
every time it was scattered through our

| made her comfortable in parlor car she
| had the grace to thank me, and soon
| learned from q friend whom happened to
meet that she was an eccentric character

remember having comfortable feeling
that might hear from her again, for she
had taken my card at her own request.

size and age were all that saved me from
bodily harm. After l had convinced both
the officer and herself that was not pick

for not looking more zealously after her
interests while was with her. l was glad
to make my escape, but she occasionally

FAST PASSING AWAY.

The Philadelphia Times, in comment
ing upon the National encampment OF
the Grand Army of the Republic, recently
held in Buffalo, says:
"The muster roll of the Grand Army of
the Republic gives renewed evidence OF
the steady inroad death is making on the
membership OF the organization. The
total number of names on the roll as re-
ported at Buffalo is 3l9,456, falling off
from the number reported in 1895 of 81
1854. This is the largest decrease with
one exception which the adjutant gen.
eral of the Grand Army has had to report
since the organization was formed. The
number and percentage of deaths are
also larger than ever reported before.
"The membership of the Grand Army
increased rapidly for number of years.
In 1876 it had 3S,O16 names on its muster
rolls, The number rose annually by
rapid strides until 1890 the rolls con-
tanned 409,4S9 names. This proved 10 DC
high water mark, as since then theie mas
been steady decrease in the number,
until now there are only 3l9,456 names
on the rolls. This is decrease OF 90,035
In seven years. The number OF deaths
and the percentage they bear to the total
membership have also steadily grown
In 1885 there were 1920 deaths reported
or O.93 per cent of the membership. Ten
years later, in 1896, the number of deaths
was 1928 or 2.36 per cent. The number
of deaths and the per cent will naturally
increase more rapidly as the years GO by.
II lie easy to see that the Grand Army lie
passing into the shade, and that before
many years have passed the survivors
will be few and far between"

that the average salary of the preachers
of that denomination in the south is
$47335 per year. Preaching in the south
