A young lady who was a stranger in
the town applied at livery stable in
Kennebec county for team to take
her into the country. There was no
driver at the barn and n smart young
fellow who admired the lady's looks
volunteered to perform that service

tried to get up Irritation with his
companion. and his attentions became

NOT YET.

Will the pension roll of this country
ever reach the "high-water maIk?"
Perhaps so if our expansion doesn't lead
to more wars. But not soon. Despite
the large number of deaths among the
veterans of the civil war during the
past few months, they were more than
offset by the new claims that were al
lowed, and during the first six months
of the current fiscal year the pension
roll was increased by S67 names. On
January /, 1901 there were 1874, 1896 pen
sioners on the rolls, against 99S,529 at
the end of the last fiscal year. June so.
At that time Commissioner Evans an
nounced that he believed the roll had
reached it's highest point, and that it
would gradually decrease, unless con-
gress passed additional laws extending
the bounty system. Nothing in the way
of new pension laws has been passed
since that time, yet the roll has grown

scarcely take up paper, but I see a
large number of applications from sa-
loonkeepers to sell spirituous and in
toxicatfng liquors, and they are en-
dorsed by the taxpayers Of New Ha-
ven, and then in another column Of the
paper l read Of large number of per-
sons every day who are arrested for
being drunk, and abusing their fami-
lies. They are boarded in Jail for
certain length of time, and these tax
payers help support them, and their
families, and when they are set at lib
erty, these same saloons are open ready
to receive them. How strange it is
that such a beautiful city as New Ha-
ven, with so many religions and benev-
olent institutions, should countenance
such an accused business. 1t is true
the city receives quite sum of money
from licenses, but doesn't 1t spend more
for supporting the drunkards and their
families than it receives? That Is the
way 1t appears to me, but as / am only

OHIO'S RIVERS AND HARBORS.


Ohio means to get her share Of what
is going every time, and she generally
manages to get It, For instance, her
| rivers and harbors seem to need much
money for their Improvement Their
need has attracted some attention, and
one congressman from the Northwest
has felt moved to remark that when he
was a child he was taught by his teach
ers that the great maritime and ship
ping States lay along the sea-
coast and not in the centre of the
continent. Since he has examined the
items of appropriation contained in the
river and farbor bill he is convinced Of
the error of his early training. He
adds: The farther State lies from the
coast line or from salt water the greater
is the appropriation contained in this
bill. Look at that map. Is the State
of Ohio so located and SO situated with
reference to shipping interests that 1t
deserves to receive over $4,000, 900, or
over one tenth Of the entire river and
harbor bill? A river and harbor bill
that was prepared for forty-five great
States, bounded by salt water on three
sides and by the lakes on the north,
and yet one-tenth of this bill Is ex-
pended on the State of Ohio--a little,
inland, cornfeld State, with two hum
bred miles Of lake front and one navi- |
gable river
should not be surprised. Ohio needs all |
she can get, and she believes in getting |
while she is getting.

somewhat in size. 1t is more than prob
able that had it not been for the Span
ish war the pension roll would have
fallen off considerably, as about 1000
names have been added to the list as a
result of that war. During the month
of December last 6,401 new claims We're
allowed, while during the same period
3,110 names were dropped from the roll.
OF these $500 names went off the list by
reason of death. During the same
month the department rejected 4,763
claims. In spite of the rapid progress
that is made in disposing of claims the
files of the office are filled with almost
half million of cases that are Enacted
upon. The exact number Of claims
pending is 447,85S.
This is a generous country, as it
ought to be. But those who are not
pensioned are beginning to notice the
burden they are carrying, and they are
wondering whether all of it is just or
necessary.

| a SHREWD AND SENSIBLE MOVE.
| The West Point cadets have finally
| got their eyes open, and they have
gracefully agreed to discontinue haz-
ing, They maintain that they have
pursued their system from the best
motives, yet realizing that the deliber-
ate judgment of the people should, in
a country like ours, be above all other
considerations, they reaffirm their form
Ell action abolishing the exercising of
fourth class men, and they further
agree to discontinue hazing, the requir-
ing of fourth class men to eat anything
against their desire and the practice of
action. And they also promise that
they will not devise other similar prac-
tees to replace those abandoned
The young men have a correct per-
ception of the situation, and they show
good judgment in their action. And yet
there are some who will continue to
think that II young man is to be
trained for war it wont hurt him to en-
dure such hardness as the young men
of West Point have been called on to
endure. One of the young men who tes-
titled was frank enough to say that he
thought a young man who couldn't
stand life at West Point had no bust
ness in the army. There may be truth
in this remark, although tabasco sauce
and unequal finish fights are rather
severe incidents of training. The in
vestigation has been a success in one
respect. 1t has evidently impressed the
young men with their obligations to a
generous country, and it has taken the
conceit out of some who We're suffer- |
ing for the operation.

a notion to go to revival meeting in
stead of misdoing public business the
mayor would not resign. He would,
however, be resigned, feeling that while
the Council was at revival meeting 1t

that the Council of that place has be-

AS q result of the various studies
dealing with the origin and cure of
malaria in Italy, it is now proposed to
Introduce a bill in the italian Parlia-
ment providing for the suppression of
the disease. The measures under con-
sideration make it compulsory for
landowners and employers of labor to
provide such means of resisting and
preventing the fever as are specified by
the authorities. 1t is also proposed that
the government should purchase pure
quinine which would be rigidly inspect
ed, and then sold to the people at a
slight advance over it's cost The mon
ey obtained by way of profit could
then be used in further investigations
and in the prevention Of the disease.
