A PARAGRAPH appears in the local
columns of the Evening Braggart,
which seems as much out of place as a
sunbeam in sewer, and its wit
scintillates like the eyes OF dead
mackeral by moonlight. 1t alludes to
church announcements being sand
wiched by Oily with Castoria and liver.
pad advertisements. The omission of
" Digestum," however, is. the iapsus
cdlami which betrays the paternity OF
its author, and while it may reflect
some credit to his modesty is palpa-
bic evidence that his wisdom is repre-
seE,ed by the minus sign the length Of
a crowbar.

A Few Words for Mrs. Stuart.

Although Mrs. Stuart has now gone
to the land where it is said "The
wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest" it is fair to assume
that if consciousness exists In some
form beyond the grave and is cognizant
of earthly affairs, that she is i'll per-
petual turmoil over the claims and
contentious OF relatives and supposed
friends.
One of the later movements is to
break the will, and it is said that a
lawyer is here on behalf of a brother
of the deceased woman to take steps
for that purpose soon as he has quietly
gathered enough evidence upon which
to base the action. Mr.. Arnold, of
Massachusetts,, is said to be the man
who is charged with that mission, but
that gentleman is of course extremely
reticent, while performing the curtain
raiser act Of detective, aud neither af-
firms nor denies his part in the prom
Used melOdrama.
Another claim that has been filed
against the estate is that of Mrs. b. +
Dennison, widow Of one of Washing
tons foremost lawyers, who died about
six years ago. The claim is for an al
legged balance Of 1915, due the late
Judge Dennison and his estate since
1891. for services in compromising a
claim of DIR. Flanagan against the
Stuarts for $4,000 damages for Sian.
der. 1t seems that Col. Eddy and
Judge Gordon were the doctors attor.
neys, and Judge DenniSon WAS EN-
ployed by the Stuarts to defend their
interests. He succeeded, it is alleged
in securing reduction of the amount,
on compromise, to 5000, which the
defense paid. Mr.. Dennison's bill for
that service was $1,000, only $25 oil
which has been paid, and that amount
Immediately after the service was rem.
dered.
1t seems exceedingly strange and
altogether out of Judge Dennison's
methodic habits, for him to have al.
lowed bill like that now claimed, to
60 uncollected, when it could have
been had for the mere asking, if &C.
knowledged by "Bob" Stuart, who
WAS not the sort of man to stand of
creditors, and would hardly have de.
layed payment of claim involving
secrecy as main consideration. AT
least, that is the view that. bushes,
men OF the acumen of the executors OF
the estate-Messrs. Phillips and Nc.
Elroy-are likely to take of the mat.
ter, and if it be true that Mrs. ID. will
publish all the facts on which she
bases the threatened action, unless
payment is made. it partakes some
what of the nature of hold.up, in
defiance of right, justice and the stat.
ute of limitations.
As to the insanity charge, there will
probably be considerable difficulty in
establishing it to the satisfaction OF
either judge or jury. Mrs. Stuart al.
ways was woman of marked individ.
uality and was firm and decided in her
opinions, but that she was in the least
demented, will be news to those who
knew her longest and best. IF che
was crazy in her last days, she was
equally so throughout life, and she
kept the fact, if it existed, carefully
concealed from her friends and the
public.

1T is now proposed to grant service
pensions to place everybody living who
ever shouldered arms in our military
service on the pension roll, which will
involve an increase of appropriation
about $3O,OOO,OOO a year. There is
some comfort IN the thought that the
costs OF warfare equaling the main
tenance of the largest army in The
world for generations after it is over,
may deter sensible people from favor
ing such costly method of redressing
grievances. Pensions should be award
ed in all cases where wounds are car
ried, or specially meritorious service
have distinguished the individual,
making them indeed awards OF honor !;
but when the governmental service is
turned into a colossal poor-house, to
promote mendicancy, it shows that a
political "pul" under popular form
of government may be made the
means OF extending unreasonable gra-
tuities and the public become the easy
prey OF the army of cormorants who
pluck the applicant as we'll as rob the
people of the money raised for its main
tenance.

MEDICAL Talk. a Family Magazine.


Medical Talk Is the name Of one Of
the most recent Of popular medical
magazines for the home before the
public today. 1t appears in a unique,
up-to- date magazine cover, an orna-
ment to any library table.
Medical Talk is in the fourth year OF
it's existence and covers a field never
before accomplished in journalism.
This magazine undertakes to interpret
to the people what lie going on In the
medical world as revealed by the
numberless medical journals intended
for the doctors only. It brings to the
household important facts hidden
from the people by medical technical
tiles. 1t deals in a popular way with
such questions as vaccination, SAINT
airy laws, cremation, dietary rules, and
all drugless methods of healing dis
ease.
During the past three months al
most every leading daily paper
throughout the United States and
Canada has had something to say
about Medical Talk, either editOrially
or in their magazine and book depart
ment. The opinions expressed have
been of a most complimentary ma
ture.
