In Her Wedding Gown.

Nevada, Mo, Dec 29-The body
of an aged lady, Mrs. Sawyer, who
died Christmas day and was buried
at Sheldon, this county, was shroud-

wish was we'll known to the family
and was carried out accordingly.

GRAND ARMY AND PENSIONS
Defense of the Organization by
Commander Goblin.
1t Only Asks for Justice and Has
Never Aided i'm Padding the
Pension Rolls.

Lebanon, Pa Dec. 30.-The com
mander-in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, Gen. John P. s.
Goblin, defends his army from the
accusation Of being pension grab
bers. To Post-Dispatch CORE.
spondent he said:
eve have not kept up the cry of
more PENSIONS There has not
been continued grabbing.
There are in the Grand Army, as
there are in all organizations, men
whose cupidity is their strongest
characteristic, and who are willing
to wiring the last cent possible out
Of the government. But such mem-
bers are few. In our encampment
year after year this demand for q
service pension was voted down;
year after year every effort to make
an official demand fer outrageous
pensions have been crushed.
The members of the Grand Army
are not seeking gratuities, but JUS
tice. The soldier is not a beggar.
He regards the pension roll as roll
of honor. He, more than anyone,
is interested in maintaining it's puri
ty. The Grand Army believes that
no one should receive pension who
is not suffering total disability.
Some of the ablest men in the or
ganization are opposed to pensions
altogether except in cases of total
disability, and they have never hes
itated to speak their minds openly.
whether there is fraud or not
I do not know. Statements and fig
ures to which my attention has been
drawn seem to be stamped with the
truth, yet they are so startling that
to be almost incredible. / can not
accept the statement that there are
4o,745 more survivors and .wido VS.
drawing pensions than there are &C
tual survivors and widows of the
war This indicates q state of af
fairs beyond belief. Still I cannot
combat the assertion. I have been
so impressed with what appears to
be an array of proof that have be-
gun thorough and searching invss.
tigation on my own account.
Il propose finding out the actual
conditson of affairs, not for my own
satisfaction, but for the benefit of |
the organization. II my investlga-
tion shows that there is anything |
like the padding in pension roll that
is claimed, I shall lay the matter be-
fore the executive committee, and
the organization will take emphatic
action.
IF there is single person on the
pension roll whose name does not
belong there the Grand Army of the
Republic wants it striker off. As
an organization it can stand up and
say: Cut of every person who is
drawing a pension without deserving
it am sure that if the rolls are
purged of the fraud said to be on
them the Grand Army will not stuff
er in the least. The number of
survivors should be far fewer now
than at the close Of the war. The
veterans are dying fast. And then
the great number of men who pass
ed through the war and have never
applied for pension, should be
considered For instance, / have
never applied for a pension, nor
have any of tie members of my
staff, although nearly sll of them

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Safety and success are the ends of
all wise counsel.
Speak well of your friend, of your
enemy, say nothing.
Temptation is not dangerous until
you want to yield to it,
Judgment and decision are man s
great wheels of fortune.
He who says what he likes will hear
what he does not like.
A mans manners are the mirror in
which he shows his portrait.
Fashion rules the largest empire,
and collects her tax in gold and blood.
It is an easy matter to love our
friends, but it requires some effort to
love our enemies.
Be what you wish others to be-
come. Let yourself, and not your
words, preach for you.
The man who takes stand for the
good works for improvement, and
gives his influence in favor of reform,
will have enemies, while he who
agrees With everybody, and has no
idea of his own, may get along more
easily.
1t is pleasant to be appreciated
Persons work better when they know
that their efforts command approval.
Nothing is lost by kindly words of in
terest and recognition. Flattery is
offensive, but appreciation of an.
others kindness and service is always
acceptable.
Gentleness, which belongs to virtue,
is to be carefully distinguished from
the mean spirit of towards and fawn-
ing assent of sycophants. Itremoves
no just right from fear, it gives up no
important truth from hattery; it is, in.
deed, not only consistent with firm
mind, but it necessarily requires a
manly spirit and fixed principle in
order to give it any real value.

WHEN THE cows COME HOME.

"Clink, clink, clink-clink, clinkety
| elink"-
Through the ragged brush of the pasture
And the "oId boss" stops at the brook tc
| drink,
And tosses her head with Jest Of wrath
With hooves sunk deep in the brooks blacl
loan,
And muzzle deep In the lazy stream,
She waits for the laggard herd to come.
With ears that droop and eyes that
dream.
| Her sleek sides bulge with contentedness
And her udders drip with an overflow
That blotches with white the watercress
That says with the current, to and frow.
The eddies whirl where her long tail filings
Its tufted end with listless toss,
And the gurgling water swings and sings
Like whirling wings in the brookside
moss.
As the water clears of its muddy rlle
And the old boss drinks, with nostrils
The dusk, slow stealing, mile on mile,
Grows dark where the deep woods stand
ensnared
On the east horizons farthest rim,
And out of the twilight's hazy height,
Where the Dog Star loiters, white and dim,
A drifting swallow pipes goodnight.
Then, drowsily, with a soul-deep breath,
The old boss raises her head and sighs,
And, bright as sword from its guarding
sheath,
The sunset CLEANS in her glowing eyes.
1t turns the bell at her throat to gold
BAnd silvers the red of her silk coat,
And the tell-tale leaves of the year grown
old
Turn pale in the pools where they lie
ahoat.
Out of the silence, shrill and high,
voice of the farmyard quavers through:
"Come, boss! come, boss come, boss!" its
cry,
And the old boss softly answers, '.Mool"
Only the call of the cow-that's all;
Only q wistful moo, and yet
It seems that heard my childhood call
And the dusk is here and my eyes are
wet

Setting Back a Boilers Bulge,

An ingenious method has recently
come into vogue swith engineers, in
the practice of setting back the bulge
in a boiler. Briefly, an iron bucket
is fitted to one end of an iron pipe, the
latter extending slightly beyond the
side OF the pail, this end being stopped
up. The pipes diameter is between
one and two inches, small holes are
bored in the part of the pipe that
comes within the bucket, so as to fur
nish a draft, and fire clay is used to
line the pail WITH a bellows is attached
to the other end of the pipe, which is
also provided with cross bar SO that
the bucket may be tipped to any de-
sired angle. After the bulged part of
the boiler has been heated by this ap.
paratus, q jack is inserted in the
boiler, and by means of it the bulged
part is forced back to its original posi-
ton. The top of the jack is not
placed against the boiler, but thin
sheet of red hot iron is put between
it and the boiler, this iron being
shaped like the boilers surface. A
large plate is put under the jack, SO
that all the strain may.not come on one
part of a boiler, but may be distri-
buted evenly. In this way any internal
)ulglng is easily repaired.

German shipbuilders are doing fair
ly well outside of mercantile orders.
Within three years they have deliv-
cred twentyfour war vessels for other
maritime powers, including China,
Brazil, Turkey, Austria, Norway and
Sweden, 1t is true that among these
two dozen vessels there is not sim
gle battleship, and but three armored
cruisers-for China-the balance be-
ing torpedo boats and destroyers.
However there are now on file orders
for twenty-five warships, including
one armored cruiser for Japan and
three large cruisers for Russia. So
Germany is doing quite we'll in this
ine-although it is not unlikely that
our recent naval record will interfere
somewhat with future foreign orders
to shipyards in the Kaiser's realm.

In 1860 the manufacture of silk in
the United States amounted to $6,
607, I'll in value. This amount was
doubled in the next decade and that
amount was more than trebled in
1880. The end OF the next decade
showed that the total had more than
doubled again. 1t is estimated that
recent compilation made by the secre-
tary of the American Silk association
shows that in the five years following
1890 the rate of increase has even ac-
celerated, the estimate of the silk
manufacture of the United States to-
day being nearly, if not quite, $3.50,
900, 900 per annum.

MOTHERHOOD,

Oh, what 80 true. 80 pure, so good,
As love and pride OF motherhood?
The tender watching and the care,
Ihat have no likeness anywherep
What men most bold would~Mar to- do
A mothers heart will carry through,
Love is too strong to think on death,
A child is more than living breath.
A mothers love is fond and wise,
Her soul is In her baby's eyes;
To her the laugh that shakes its throat
Is sweeter than the thrush's note.
Her life is in the child she bears,
Nor withers with the waste of years;
Though promise may in failure die,
TITS love that makes her weep and sigh
Her love, indeed, outlives her days,
Her children treasure up her praise;
And, though no more they see her face
Her name retains its native grace.

The supreme conflict of the nations
IN the twentieth century is to be one
OF trade, observes the New York Mail
and Express. A people incapable OF
keeping pace with the new era of COM
mercial expansion and colonial gov
ernment must sink steadily in infu-
ence. Spain has lost her colonies,
and her commercial importance has
dwindled vastly in consequence.
France has displayed the limit of her
colonial aptness in Madagascar, and
it is so discouraging as to promise
little of lasting value in either Cen
trail Africa or Southern China, when
compared with the accomplishment of
other powers. Italy's fasco in East
Africa, in her Abyssinian ambition,
dealt death blow to her foreign pros
poets. In the similarity which ex-
listed in the intellectual influences
governing the early literature of
France, Italy, Spain and Portugal is
found the root of deterioration which
these nations experisnce in common
today. Present decadence runs not In
a national stream merely, but in a
current which is Latin, and, therefore,
all-embracing in Southern Europe.

PORTO RICO PESTS
Difficulties Which the Cattle Raisers Find
Almost Insurmountabla.

|
Two pests have to be fought by the
cattle raisers of Porto Rico which
would be altogether strange to farmer
OF the North. One is the guava and
the other is peculiar plant called by
the local people ''mori vivi." The
guava, where it is welcomed, is used
as worthy fruit and furnishes the
universal dessert for the dinner in
Cuba and this sisland-guava paste with
cheese. But on the cattle ranch it is
anathema. Wherever the guava grows,
cattle eat the fruit with avidity. They
scatter the seeds all about the ranch,
and the energetic guava multiplies.
1t is of rapid growth, and almost i'm.
possible of determination except by
the closest care. Like the thistles of
some Northern farms, it overwhelms
nature and takes the place for its own.
The other pest, which by free
translation may be called s'it lives and
1T fies," is sensitive plant in its
action, but extremely hardy in its
ability to survive attack. The centre
of the little weed is surrounded by
series of very sharp and stiff pines
which lie fiat on the ground when the
plant is not disturbed. At the first
touch, however, they rise erect and
bristle with points like a porcupine on
a small scale.
AS the cattle Craze about the pasture
they come to these armored weeds and
attempt to eat the tempting bit in the
center. Then the spines rise to stab
the tender nose of the destroyer, and
he retreats in haste. 1t does not take
long for cattle to learn the wisdom of
not poking their noses into the mort
vivi. Then the plant multiplies un-
molested until it may even overrun q
pasture. 1t not only protects itself in
this fashion, but it prevents the cattle
from reaching other grasses that may
be growing with it.
These two pests are worse enemies
than the Spaniards to plantation
which has been left to care for itself
for time. Sometimes they claim a
whole past ure SO completely that it
must be alb andoned for a season while
the interlo pers are exterminated.

1t Was a Most Legal Affair.

Wis, the entire ceremony appeared to
be illegal affair" The bride. Miss
Caroline Hamilton Pier, and the BRIDE
groom, John Henry Roemer, were

the ceremony was performed by the
brides mother in her capacity as Court
Commissioner, and the two brides.
maids, sisters of the bride, are also
lawyers. The bride was graduated
from the Wisconsin Law School in
1881, and since that time has been
practising with her sisters. The
mother, an elder member of the firm,
has been engaged in practice since
1883, and the father. Colonel Calvert
