RenodelIing,

While seldom necessary when the
building was constructed rightly In
the first place is frequently resorted 10
from variety OF reasons. Many build
ings and residences possess glaring de-
fects which depreciate their value
greatly and it is often to obriate these
disadvantages that resort is made To
remodeliing.
The expense involved in doing such
work varies greatly Of course but as a
rule the economical benefits derived
from an increased valuation Of the
property greatly exceed the cost Of
making the changes. Not seldom has
it happened that buildings so altered
have rented for double the amount
originally received.
Among the most common defects are
bad light; defective plumbing; poor
ventilation; damp and unsafe walls;
awkward interior arrangements; unin-
Wiling entrance, etc,
In many instances there are various
ways In which the desired result can
be obtained and the precise method to
be acted upon is not always an expen'
slve one.
Such ideas and suggestions as we are
able to give are at your service. We
shall be pleased to assist you II you
contemplate altering or remodelling.

Gen. Garland,s storx.

AS an illustration of how determined
Geenral Grant was to force the recogni-
tion of his terms of treaty with Cen
eral Lee, a story has been told by
former Attorney General Garland.
Brigadier General Clement c. Clay had
surrendered with Lee and signed a
parole, yet in spite of this the johnson
administration had imprisoned him.
He was in bad health and his relations
and friends feared that he would die
in prison. ~. !,
II was in Washington on business in
relation to the test oath cases before
the Supreme Court" said Mr.. Garland
Zone day Mrs. Clay came to me on
behalf of her husband, asking what she
should do. suggested that she see the
President, and in a short time she re-
turned to the hotel, beaming, holding
an order for her husbands release
when he should give proper bond.
Soon afterward she drove to the
War Department and presented the or
der to Secretary Stanton. Stanton read
it, crumpled it in his hand, and threw
the order into waste basket, saying
that Clay could not be released on any
terms. Almost heartbroken, Mrs. Clay
returned to the hotel, where her friends
tried to comfort her.
"When l learned OF Stanton's treat
ment of the Presidents order insisted
that she should go to see General
Grant. She demurred at first, saying
that if the Presidents order could Mt
release her husband the Generals Or
der would not.
"After much persuasion, however
she went, meeting General Grant at his
door as he was leaving the house. She
told him her story and he called q sec
retary to ask if General Clay was not
on the roll of Confederates who had
surrendered at Appomattox. The Sec
retary looked up the rolls and reported
in the affirmative. General Grant then
picked up scrap of paper and scrawl.
ed upon it:
'Brigadier General Clement G. CLAY
is included in the terms Of General
Lees surrender at Appomattox Court
house. He will be released upon giving
proper bond and will see that this
order is carried into effect
"Even with this order Mrs. Clay had
fears, but assured her that Stanton
would not refuse to recognize General
Grants authority. And he didn't. He
glanced at it, shut his teeth in evident
dlspleasure, and sullenly gave the or
der for General Clay's release."-Chi-
cago Tribune.

During the mutiny Of the natives in

the back Of the soldiers neck from the
fierce rays Of the Indian sun. The arti.

the British army, and the fame of it,

Thousands, tens of thousands-nay, l

Our soldiers came to care very little for

so thick with exposure that they would

Strother, of West Virginia, styled these
articles ''silly-clouts," which well de-
scribes them. But think that one of
them should be preserved somewhere

The pronunciamentos of some of our
alleged statesmen, that the war was to
end in thirty, sixty or ninety days, were

The First Pensioner.

1t is claimed that the first pensioner
Of the United States was Salem
(Mass.) veteran of the war of 1912, and
was brought about by President Mon
roe. who was visiting that place on
July 8, 1917. During his stay of sew
eral days he was shown through the
almslouse, where lie encountered an
inmate who had been a comrade in the
army of the revolutionary war. The
old decrepit veteran excited the COM
miseration Of the President, who
thought the old soldier who had fought
for his country was out of place in the
almshouse and should be better pro-
vided for. When he returned to WASH
ington the President brought the mat.
ter to the attention of Congress and
recommended q pension, which was
granted.

Parallel Doctrine.


The doctrine of protective tariff and
the doctrine of the ship subsidy are
parallels. He who has accepted the
former as worthy of enactment into na-
tional law and sustained it as builder
up OF home manufacture can find no in.
consistency with his views in the sub
sidy bill. The idea of it is wholly pro.
tcctive. as the Mckinley and Dingley
laws We're and are protective, notwith.
standing the anti-cratic yelping of the
'robber baron" chorus. 1t is very plain
that American ships sailing under the
Stars and Stripes, paying the high
American scale of wages, are in hole
when competing with the rest of the
world, and the ship subsidy is but the
national helping hand to lift them out
of that hole. Now. then, the fellow
who sees nothing in it but n graft for a
few who have the ''pull'' can never be
expected to see any good in any bill of
the kind: and as the arguments for and
against the protective tariff are passed,
it will be worse than Il twice-told tale
to rchash them in defense of the ship
subsidy bill. Capital has been in.
duced to enter the fields of manufac
ture and remain there till in many
cases able to stand and walk without
support or protection. Now the pur.
pose of the subsidy bill is to show cap.
ital the business sense in entering the
seas and competing with the rest OF
the world. whose immense handicap is
to be nullified to degree by the ship
subsidy.-Dayton (Ohio) Journal.
