Is not so general as In larger places. 30 /
that the social life of towns. with the
exception Of exchange Of calls. has
largely fallen to pieces. There has
never been time in the history of our
country where the life of the people in
our towns has been SO much like that
OF isolated atoms as now. or when the
individual families have been like so
many creatures in their own lairs.
Men have never been so little gregar-
ious as now In our towns. In these
places, 1t is an exceptional thing for
even neighbors to eat in each others
houses: at least without special prep
sration and invitation. Whereas in
the olden times exchange of these hos
pitaiitles were OF the freest kind. Hos
pitality. however. has made Its strong
hold in the country places, and particu-
lerly In the south. The spirit of change
and seIfishness has been felt there also.
hut there still exists in the rural parts
more OF that free hospitality that al
ways keeps place at table and bed
for a neighbor or friend than anywhere
else. In the south hospitality is still
recognized as virtue. and its cere-
monies are OF the good old kind. and
ore might be led TO conclude that the
south has not changed at all in this
respect; yet there are signs OF the
spread OF the new spirit even there. In
the olden tine the scarcity Of inns and
hotels made necessary greater degree
OF willingness to admit travellers and
frienes to ones house than now. In
those times travelling minister was
expected to put up with his resident
brother minister. as a matter OF course.
Now hotels have made private enter
tainment no longer necessary so far as
comfort goes: the traveller can readily
find lodging and board. Formerly life
was more isolated; the Increase of pop
uiation. the growth of towns. the null
tiplicatiou OF papers and books have
given much more variety and interest
to life. so that one does not need to
depend for sensation upon guests. who
may be induced to bring brightness
into his household. These are some Of
the causes that have been at work TO
bring about the decline Of hospitality.
While some OF these causes have been
natural, and while some OF the changes
have been inevitable. It is nevertheless
true that the decline OF hospitality and
the decay OF the spirit that prompted
!: cannot be too much lamented.

The fatal weapon has changed hands
many times. and has had an interest

Burr's second, marked the pistol and
gave IL TO Col. James Bowie. together
with its mate. the Hamilton pistol. Col.
Bowie wore the pair as belt pistols.

raining weapon TO DR.. Carr. the su-
perintendent of the United States
arsenal at Baltimore. Dr. Carr acted
as second to Thomas f. Marshall OF
Versailles, the Kentucky orator and
statesman. In his duel with James

located In the City of Mexico and re-
covered by one OF his soldiers. Capt
Marshall. before HIS death. gave the
pistol to his son, Louis Marshall.
Thomas F. Marshall, while 1t was in
his possession, had the dueling pistol
altered from a flint to a percussion
lock. 1t still shoots very accurately
and carries a two-ounce ball. Its bar
rel. which is twelve inches long. looks
more like section of shotgun than
anything else. while the handle is
marked twice with the "X" sign, which
meant in the palmy days OF dueling
that the weapon had done fatal work.

SHOULD CUT7HEM OFF.

The Minneapolis Tribune remarks
that "althOugh there are only four
teen survivors of the war of 1912 now
living, there are said t. be 1921 wild
uws of the veterans Of that war still
drawings pensions. United States
Pension Commissioner Anderson, Of
Chicago, suggests that as the war of
1912 eDde SO years ago, these women
must have been very young and the
veterans very old when they mar
RED"
This indicates what will be the out
come of the war of the rebellion un-
less something is done to prevent it.
1t has been suggested that a law be
passed that would prohibit a pension
to the wife of an old soldier, married
after this date, and move is on fo t
in congress looking to the carrying
out of this suggestion. 1t would be d
good idea. and one that would work
no hardship on the deserving veter
an nor upon the brave wives of those
who shared their hardships during
the war, or the hardships during the
long years since the war, caused
mainly by i'll health contracted dur
ing the war. 1t might be that it
would work hardship in some few
instances, but it would cut off thou
sands who have no just claims upon
the government. and would save the
government thous4n of dollars of
expense. 1t is said there are humid
reds of such marriages contracted in
which young women are induced tn
enter into with the hope before them
of enjoying widows pension after
their husbands demise One or two
of the late pension laws provide against
such pensions, and widows pensions
should be denied in all such cases of
marriage in the future.

the designation Of lotteries and that
newspapers publishing advertisements
Of such matters cannot circulate in
the mails. The department in it's
ruling holds that the features which
cons titute lottery in these schemes
are three in numter, being first, a
conSi deration which in each of the
schemes set forth is included in the
subscri ption price of the paper Sec
ond, prize which also appears promi-
nently in the offer, and third, the OBJ
tanning of that prize by lot or chance.
And on the third hinges the entire
uncertainty as to the status Of the
schemes. The department holds that
it is matter of chance, as many of
these advertisements state that if
more correct answers are received
than the number of prizes offered, the
winners of the prizes will be decided
cit her by the date Of the letter, or the
date Of mailing it. thus making it en-
tirely matter of chance. The de-
partment also calls attention to the
ease with which the missing words or
letters may be supplied, or words To-
Gated, and that any one of ordinary
Intelligence can easily solve them,
the object of the advertiser, of course
being TO secure as many answers as
possible, each one must be accom-
panied by 25c in payment for subscrip-
tiOn to the paper, most OF these
schemes being offered by cheap story
paper publishers, or no attention
would be paid to them. Attention in
the ruling is also called to the fact
that many of the missing letter
schemes were so skillfully selected as
to admit of different letters being
supplied, and as result two or more
different words of entirely different
NJ Gaming made, so that it would be
fflcult to tell which one the author
of the scheme had in mind. For all
of these reasons the department de-
cideS that they come within the scope
of the lottery laws, and hence decides
that newspapers publishing such ad-
vertisements cannot circulated in the
mails. And 1T would seem that the
department has ruled correctly and
in the best interests of the public at
large.
