ALL WISH 1T WAS so.

The daily papers one day last week
reported that pension of $50 90 a
month had been granted Dr. E NJ
Kanouse of this city. If there was ever
an old soldier entitled to Il
pension of $50 90 per month it is d.
Kanouse, for wounds received which
have rendered him unable to attend to
his regular practice and for long
time unable to get outside of his
own home An effort has been made
to have his pension increased, ana last
week Wednesday the Doctor received
letter from congressman Brown
which explains the situation fully, viz;
WASHINGTON, d. C.
Feb. 10, 1902.
DIR. KANoUsE,
Wausau, Wis,
Dear Sir IL take pleasure in advis-
ing you the bill offered in your behalf

$50 per month. | will take up the
matter with Senator Quarles and have
him attend to the bill in the Senate.
1t will doubtless pass that body.
Yours truly,
w +. Brown, Nj. e.
So it will be seen that the amount is
only for $50 90 instead of 5000; that it
has yet to be passed through the Senate
and signed by the president, and should
it become law, it will be nearly the
end of the next summer before DR..
Kanouse will receive any benefit from

Troubles of the Rich.

The first point in the condition of
the idle rich which takes the eye of
the student is that they are the vic
TINS of circumstances. Like the idle
poor, the idle rich suffer because there
is nothing for them to do, but the
greater hardship Of the idle rich lies
in the fact that they do not seem lit to
do anything. Some philosophers have
supposed that their leisure qualified
them to take charge Of the political
and economical affairs Of people who
were at work. and there has been a
good deal Of polite regret among us that
up to the present time there has been
no more zeal in the people at work
than there has been an apparent pur-
pose of Providence to turn our leisure
class to account in this way We have
seen that under other systems they
are turned to account in this way;
but their conduct of public business
under these systems has not con
WINGED us. 1t seems to have been
mainly in their own interest, with few
escapes from the vicious circle which
forms the logic Of their lives it
seems to have tended always to the
perpetuation Of that leisure class
which, it was philosophical, their pub
lie employment would practically put
an end to.-Harper's Magazine.

Britain, Germany and Russia very
closely connected, and if question
should come up between us and either

Those that the committee proposes to
put up will be after the idea of he
fountains of the church temperance

the Croton water supply and cooled by
passing through a chest filled With
