A GREAT EVENT RECALLED.
We Did Not Think of Pensions Then.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Like a
dream--vivid, spectacular, magnificent
arises in my memory the two days Grand
Review in Washington May % and "a,
1865. On the first day about 10 900 tried
and valiant comrades of the noble Army of
the Potomac marched down Pennsylvania
Avenue; on the second day nearly 100000
of Sherman's young heroes, who had Wig
orousy Smashed things from Atlanta to
the sea. The bright and balmy May air
seemed surcharged with the inspiration of
victory and jubilant joy because the most
desperate and sanguinary war of all hui
man history was over; lines Of polished
bayonets cleaned; regimental flags bear
ing the names of noted battles futtered in
the long columns of "route-step" march
ers; many bands played the most popular
National airs; and resounding volleys of
enthusiastic cheers made the welkin ring
from the Capitol to the White House. 1t
was the grandest, the most impressive mil
itary spectacle ever seen in this hemis-
phere; and the chief glory of the event was
that it accentuated the triumph of free
people in the greatest Republic on earth
over attempted disunion and black sla-
very.
But among all the brawny, brave and
patriotic men in tire review, flushed with
health and the feiation of victory, there
probably were not SO who then imagined
that they would ever become so decrepit,
or helpless, or destitute, as to need pen
sions from the great Government they rep
resented-which they and million and a
half surviving comrades equally brave and
self-sacri6cing, had defended and rescued
from utter wreck and ruin. Robust, vic
torious, ardent youth is usually optimistic
and often blindly So. But hard times"
today, even dire want, would be knocking
at many veterans doors but for the aid
which those necessary pensions give. Such
Government aid, under adverse circum-
stances, is those veterans due; and a
great, virile, rich Nation which would re-
fuse to care for the needy heroes who
saved it from annihilation would not de-
serve saving in the future.
In the last two years over 65000 of our
comrades names were stricken by death
from that enormous" pension roll; and
by 1910 two-thirds of the soldiers of
GIGS will have silently marched on to
the great Biyouac Of the Dead, where no
financial relief will be needed from Amer
ican taxpayers. Let the carping or grudg-
ing Taxpayers comfort their stingy little
souls with these consoling factsl And to
those other citizens who appreciatively
pay without grudging, the pensioned veter-
ans say, "Hail, now-and soon, farewellr'

possession of the ferry crossing on the

CHINESE BABY's SOUL.

F e s
 When Chinese baby goes to sleep it is supposed that it's soul is having a rest, and that perhaps it has gone far away. If the infant sleeps very long it's mother becomes alarmed, for she fears that it's soul may have wan dered too far and have lost its way. If 1t does not come home, of course, the baby will never wake. Sometimes men are sent out in the street to call the child's name, just as if the child were really lost. in the hope of recall ing it's wandering soul.
 When a baby sleeps as it is carried from one place to another, there is great anxiety lest its soul be lost, and to prevent this the mother, or whoever carries it, keeps on repeating the schild's name aloud. The soul is thought of as bird, which hops along after it's owner, and by continually calling the child's name it is thought that it will be prevented from stray ing.

 The Philippine looters scored an im- portant point when Secretary Root de- cided that the Hoar amendment to the army bill. prohibiting the granting of concessions in the Philippines did not prevent the issuing of licenses to cut timber on public lands under the reg ulations promulgated by General Mac Arthur last July. While it will not be as profitable to cut timber under H. cense, requiring that the government shall be paid from one-half to seven cents q cubic foot for all that is cut. according to grade. quality and value, as it would have. been under outright concessions of the right to cut timber in certain sections of the islands, 1t will still be profitable and will save the money that has already been spent by the 1ooters in preparing to handle the concessions they expected to get.

KATHLEEN MAvoURNEEN.

There is now on the variety stage q young woman named Anna Crouch, While few who listen to her know 1t, she is the daughter of the late Profes- or Nicholas Crouch, whose world famed song, "Kathleen Mavourneen" has touched the hearts of millions of people. In an interview the other day Miss Crouch said:
 T am the youngest of twenty-seven children, or rather twenty eight, for father adopted one. He had four wives must tell you. My mother was his last wife, and there were five of us. But it, will interest you, I'm sure, to hear about the adopted child. He is sixty-nine years old now and lives in a naval home. At the time when father adopted him he was paymaster at nayy-yard in the South. Father had been i'll, had met with losses and altogether was in awfully bad luck. Things looked very black. His eye sight failed He was in dispair. Just then letter came from Q man named James Marion Roach, asking to be legally adopted, and saying. he had no people of his own and that he would consider it an honor to bear fathers name. As soon as the matter was set tied he began sending father $60 month, and kept it up until his own pay was reduced. when he sent $50. You see 1t was just an excuse to help support father and the family. Now he is in home unable to work, but he writes such beautiful letters to my mother. and his one regret is that he Is unable to send her money.
 "Oh, yes, remember my father well was old enough to take piano in- struetions before he died. He was so anxious for all his children to take to music. But of the entire family only one is natural musician. Father played nearly every instrument, but he fairly loved the cello. He was the leader of the orchestra at Her. Majes- tvs theater in London when he was eighteen years old He led the band on the occasion Of the queens corona tion. It was about that time he com posed Kathleen Mavourneen.' I sup pose you know how he did that, don't you?
 Well, he was on horseback one day, riding through the meadows some where in England, when suddenly he jumped off his horse, whipped out the only scrap of paper he happened to haye-which was brown wrapping paper, by the way-and hastily jotted down the notes he had been humming to himself. He wrote it all out right there and never changed it afterward. It was Kathleen Mavourneen' For that song which so many have sung he received the munifcent sum of $25.''- Exchange.
