As the United States pays no civil
pensions neither ex-presidents nor
their widows receive allowances: but
Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Garfield are each
recipients OF 5000 year as the Wild

were surviving last year four widows
OF soldiers who fought In the Rovoiu-
tion Of i776. the youngest OF whom was
clghty-four. No doubt soma widows
OF civil war pensioners will live TO be

young women have married aged pen

OFFICIAL PAPEROF ALLEN COUNTY
MIsDIRECTED ENTERPRISE.

LAST Saturday the REGISTER re-
ceived from New York paper II tele-
gram which read as follows:
"See Funston's Father and mother
at once. Get from each five hundred
to a thousand words personal signed
baby, child and boy, by the father on
Fred as lad and young man. Each
article to consist of anecdotes, small
details and personal traits of Fun
ston the boy and young man as his
parents knew him, not general effusion
and parental praise but from each a
dozen to twenty specific anecdotes;and
"reminiscences of things done by Fun
ston showing character since de-
veloped. If the folks will not write
themselves take down all the little
stories you can get them to tell. Pre-
pare two separates articles and get their
signatures to the manuscript Copy
must be telegraphed next Sunday
night"
Complying with the order a reporter
was sent out to the home of Hon. r.
II. Funston, and came back with the
answer that was fully expected "a
courteous but firm refusal. And
surely no one who has a proper sense
of personal dignity and propriety can
find fault with this refusal. Mr.. Fun =
ston has been for more than a quarter
of a century distinguished citizen of
Kansas. As member of both houses
of the Legislature and for ten years a
representative in Congress, he was the
recipient of honors of which lac was
worthy and which he deeply appreciat-
ed. He has retired now from active
political life, but he has not laid
aside his self-respect or his sense of
propriety. He sees clearly that for
himself and his wife to permit the pub.
lication, over their own signatures, of
such articles as are asked for in the
above telegram, would be to give
them the appearance of wishing to
embrace the opportunity afforded by
their sons great achievement to d.
rect attention to themselves, and he
most properly declines to be placed in
that attitude.
