CONFEDERATE PENSION BILL.

Representative Smith. OF Greene
county, has introduced u pension bill
and passed !: through the house. The
cx-Confederate soldiers will be much
pleased with IL We think, II it becomes
u law.
1t differs from the bill passed in
1898, under which so many inequali.
ties arose, In that IL takes the widows
out of the preferred classes and puts
them In the pro rata class with the
remainder nf the veterans not includ.
cd In the first and second preferred
classes. The Smith bill thus reduces
the number Of preferred classes, mem.
hers Of which receive fixed pensions,
from three To two. and will thus 90
far to remedying the injustice in the
distribution felt by the unpreferred
classes, who were not permitted to re-
ceive anything until the three pre-.
fcrred classes had been paid. The two
preferred classes under the Smith bill
arc: l. Veterans who have lost hoth
eyes, both hands or both feet, or the
entire use OF both hands or both feet
by reason 0f wounds or injuries re-
ceived in the Confederate service. g
Veterans who have lost one foot or
one hand. or the total use OF one foot or
one hand. The members of both
classes must be unable to earn a sup,
p"rt, and must not have property in
their names or the names Of their
wives amounting to 500. The first
class receives fixed pension of 800
and the scOnd Uf $50. The remaining
pensioners. including the widows, arc
entitled to a pro rata Of the rest OF
the appropriation after these fixed
pensinnS have been deducted. An.
nther change made in the first or 800
preferred class that may be mentioned
Is the omission from the list OF "thosc
who have lost both jaws and are rend.
cred incapablc0f receiving solid food. y
As this number is necessarily small,
such omission will probably not cause
annoyance to any large class Of
veterans.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A lady writer to Word And Works

A lady writer to Word And Works
says:
Upon our young people depends our
d 'stiny as a nation, and upon Us as
parents, teachers and friends, rests
the mighty obligation OF them what
God would have them be, men and
women Of true, noble Christian char.
acter. There seems to be a spirit Of
unrest among our young men-a de.
sire to launch out in life free from all
parental restraint and guldance), and
to cope with its viciSsitudes, fight it's
battles, and win its victories. In a
sense this is right. but like the fedg.
lings, they shoul ID remain IN the home
nest until they are strong enough to
withstand the trials and temptations
which they are sure ta meet. and he
overcome by. unless they are trusting
God for guidance.
And our girls, we find in them lack
OF relish for household emplOyments,
and that, we deem requisite and
proper.
In rejecting on these tendencies 10
our youths Of the present day we have
concluded, as heretofore stated, that
we are responsible in a great measure
for these conditions, for we have it in
the Book Of all Books. "'rrain up a
child in the way he should 60 and
when he is old he will not depart from
IT," As parents we should be in close
confidence with our children and thus
obtain their standard OF right and
wrong, morally and socially, which
might sometimes surprise US greatly.
AS mothers. most 0f all, we should
cultivate and seek the full confidence
OF our sons and daughters, and to dc
this We must take an interest in what
Is for their enjoyment, as well as our
own, in other words we must keep our.
selves young and in touch with them.
