JOKE GAINED HIS POINT.
A Michigan stntcsmnn's Clever Russ
Worked on Committee
on Pensions.

Not long ago Congressman "Hank" Smith.
OF the Second Michigan district, ,worke a Joke
OIL on the house committee on pensions, It
should be explained, says the Chicago Chron-
icle, that this committee is not the one
which has charge of the pensions which
grew out of the civil war, says correspond
ent. Its functions appertain to the granting
OF pensions to the widows and veterans OF
the Mexican and Black Hawk wars and
other ancient unpleasantnesses II should
also be pointed out that one of their rules is
that no widows pension shall be larger than
sS month. This proceeds upon the theory
that any widow who survives veteran Of
these wars must be a comparatively young
woman and that she must have married the
veteran in his dotage to get his pension.
The new member from Michigan appeared
before the committee at its last meeting and
IN an incidental and smiling way alluded to
the rule.
That is fine rule" said he in guileless
sort of way. II sympathize with its purpose
and believe it should stand. But just to show
good ialth am going to propose an amend
ment,. L move that it be amended so as to
read except. in the case of widows over 100
years of age.'"
The members of the committee are always
IN favor OF joke and the proposition was
ADOPTED with a unanimous laugh.
And thereupon Hank" produced from his
pocket a bill to grant a pension of $l2
month to Mrs. Hixon, of Clinton, Mich. She
mad Just passed her one hundredth year. 1t
was not necessary to explain that her hus-
band had served to within one day of the
time requisite to get pension in the reg
uiar manner Ihe committee reported the
bill favorably.
