Deaths RetrofhaI.

A few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: =" Is Marriage a Failure?" The
answer is easy and upon the surface Where
there IS mutual love and respect, if there is
also health marriage is a success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
a failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
OF wedlock to people in ill-health. In q
case of this kind death turks on every side
in the kiss of betrotfal and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from lllhealth is physical bankrupt and
has no right to condemn woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical weakness. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on
the digestive organism. 1t makes it strong
and its action perfect When a mans di-
gestion is all right his blood will be pure;
when his blood is pure his nervous system
will be strong and his health vigorous.

CHAPTER XIV.

MISSOURI LOYALISTS-AT CLOSE QUAR-
TIERS WITH REBEL CAVALRY-A
VICTORY FOR THE FILE OF IN
FANTRYMEN AND THEIR COMRADES
OF CO. A.
They were not all rebels in southeastern
Missouri. All the illiterate long-haired,
stumbling. dingy CARRIED whites; all the
dwellers in mud-chinked log cabins; all the
shftless tillers of patches of corn; all the lazy
loiterers through life, who trusted more to
their guns and fishing tackle than to plows
and hoes for their daily bread; those to whom
Jug of molasses meant riotous luxury, and
a jug of whisky untold happiness-all these
were rebels-the followers and myrmidons OF
the slave lords who were attempting to force
Missouri to secede.
But the men who had risen to the dig
nifty of cornfelds with railfences, who had
the rudiments of thrift in their composition,
and enough education and intelligence to read
books and newspapers-these were not so
ready to forsake their allegiance to the Union
at the bidding of the slave lords, and coer-
cion was frequently necessary.
There were many OF these Union men in
the thinly settled country back of Bird
Point-men who were rising little above
the level of the poor white trash,' who
formed the bulk of the population and
who were consequently cordially hated alike
by the class they were leaving below them

regiment was consolidated with the 23d
Ohio, the Presidents own regimen and he
was mustered out in 1865 as a Captain and
Brevet Lieutenant-ColoneI. He came to
Washington, held several important APP
pointments, and was the founder and editor
of the Grand Army Journal, the first soI-'
diers' paper. He moved to California I'M
1915. and was appointed Special COmmis-s
sioner to the Seal Islands of Alaska. In
iSS2 he resigned this to become chief owner
and editor of the Los Angeles Times, which
he has made one of the best papers on the
Pacific Coast.
Capt. Chas. King. who has been ap-
pointed Brigadier- General, is the we'll
known writer of stories, some of which
have been written expressly for THE

Brig. Gen. Rufus King, who was educated
at West Point, became Superintendent Of
the Public Schools of Milwaukee, Wis and,
Colonel in the Wisconsin NJ litia, and COM
manded division in the amy of the Po-
tomac until Oct. 20, 1853. He was after
ward Minister to Rome. Cap King was a

saw service for little while during vaca-

ton he saw good deal of Indian fighting,
and was 50 severely wounded that he was

PENSION DECISIONS.
Cases Disposed Of by Assistant
Secretary Davis.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Webster Davis has reversed the action oil
the Pension Bureau in the case of Capt.
Augustus Armand. Capt. Armand, 2Sth
Mass, lost leg below the knee, during the
war, and the stump is so tender and painful
that he is unable to wear an artificial limb;
in addition to which he has rheumatism,
especially of the ShOulder-joIntS, also OF
service origin, to such an extent that he
cannot use crutcheS, and consequently,
has been compelled for years to crawl
around on his hands and knees; beside
which he has other disabilities of service
origin of a most severe and distressing
nature, all of which render. the regular
personal aid and attendance of another
person absolutely necessary.
Capt. Armand is now pensiOned at s72
per month, the rate prescribed by law for
total and permanent helplessness, which
rate was allowed him, by the Bureau OF
Pensions, to date from June 10, 1897, I'M
der an application for increase and addi-
tiOnal pension, filed July 49, 1894; $50 per
month (the rate prescribed by the act of
July ID, 1892, in cases where the PEN
sioner requires the frequent and periodi-
cal but not regular and constant personal
aid and attention of another peTsOn) hav-
ing been allowed for the period interview
ing between July ID, 1894, and June 10,
1897.
The claimant contended that he has
been entitled to the SIP rate from the date
of filing his said claim for increase, and
the Assistant Secretary in his decision
holds:
THAT inasmuch as it is clearly shown
by the evidence, including the certificates
of medical examination, on file in the
case, that the penSiOner has been so
totally and permanently helpless as to re-
qulre the regular personal aid and at
of another person ever since
July 10, 1894, by reason of penSiOned
he is entitled to the s72 rate from
that date" and directs that the claim be
in accordance with these
views.
