1t is this exactness of house furniture
and decoration that gives great deal Of
ugliness as well as faithfulness to some of
the scenes. The years between 1920 and
1880. in France. were peculiarly English in
matters of dress, decoration and habits of
mind and body. 1t must be confessed that
1t was also a period of ugliness If not as
grotesque as the directory Itself. A few
years ago our ladies would have excepted
from this category the leg-of-mutton

BAXTER POST, q. A. z.

The Saturday evening meetings
of Baxter Post. 6. A. r. will be
made unusually interesting during
the winter months. The Post has
resolvec itself into debating soci-
ETY. and will discuss all sorts of
subjects in all sorts of ways.
The subject for this Saturday
night is, "Resolved that il ia against
public policy for old comrades OF
IS or go TO marry young widows"
Comrades Piunick, Martin, Hedrick
and Harris will take the negative
and Comrades Price, Callis, Carter,
Fribley, Daniels and Hanback, have
the affirmative. This question is q
paramount issue in the Poet. but
there is another question before the
Grand Army Of the Republic and
one of vital importance to all old
soldiers.
A request has been made by De-
partment Commander Martin for a
half fare rate on all RAILROADS for all
members of the G. A. r. THE rate
has been granted to preachers, act
ore, travelling men and others and
II 10 generally believed that a united
effort on the part of the members of
the Grand Army will bring il
about. The railroads have replied
to Commander Martin that only
about one-fourth of the veterans
living in Kansas are members of
the order, and they infer that
should a large proportion of the
old veterans join the order there
would be a probability of making
the rate.
1t was by the united effort of the
G. A. R. that the liberal pension
law of 1890 was passed, and by a
united effort half fare rate may
be obtained for all members. Every
soldier and sailor should join at
once and assist in the good work.
