When the White House officials

the pension law as it stands today
rotten from beginning to end, rs it
applies to certain individual soldiers
and not to all who rendered service

favor an old soldiers home let it cost

This provision in the appropria

"For tho purpose of preserving

done away with appropriating money
for pensions, and lot all those who
are not able to live at home without
a pension go TO the old soldiers home
and lot the State boar all expenses,
and if they refused to go give them
nothing Here is what we favor, to
build an old soldiers home or divide
the apportionment of 100000 for
pensions, i'll equal amounts to each
old soldier or his widow, let hlm be
rich or poor, high or low, as every
man who went to the war WAS tar

the storm of shot and shell, and his
life was held up to the missiles of
death just the same as his poor neigh
Dor who received pension, and do
away with property qualifications.
The man who went to the war and
did his duty and gets no pension,
deserves one as much as the man who
is receiving ono.
We ask the question, is this fair
Legislation? That the condition of
affairs as we find tnem today, par
tial Legislation to benefit some, while
others receive mono who were better
soldiers may be than those receiving
pension. We claim it is right to
divide the amount. If our Legislature
is going to apportion money for the
old soldiers give them all part
if it only be $l.O0 Il piece We be-
lieve in "equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" We be-
lieve if the State is going to pension
her old soldiers there should be
classes AS there is today in the law,
and give every old soldier or his
widow, rich or pour, their part Of tho
apportionment, according to the class
he comes under We believe that
the one leg and one ann soldiers
should receive more than the others
because they have been disabled
from making an honest living, and
suffered tho loss of one of their limbs.
If we are going to have part al leg
lslation, and not going to give all the
old soldiers or their widows part
of theapportionment made, then we
say bnild an old soldiers homo, and
do away with appropriating money
to pension old soldiers and widows.
Aud after the soldiers home is built
and if any Of them refuses to 90 to
it let them alone and stop pensioning
them, We know of an old soldier
who says he will perish before he
will 90 to the County home, If the
County home is not good enough for
man, whom he needs help and an
old soldiers home is not to the taste
of an old soldier or his widow and
they are in need, and home is Of
fered them, and help freely given
and they refuse, we say let them suf
fer. We would be glad to see the
day come where all the old soldiers,
or their widows receive their proper

years, and do away with partial legis

HAVE WOMEN INTUITIONi
One Writer Says They Have Never

shown 1t In Literature.
Literature is the final expression OF
human thought. II women can lay
claim to a special faculty Of intuition
why do they not manifest it in their
writings? Intuition, if it means any
thing, means the faculty that gets
down to the germ Of actions and char
acteristics and focuses external traits
into a central verify recognizable to
the general public. Now, there are
mort female writer's than male. No
woman poet has ever written an in.
evitable line, line that flashes spon-
taneously out Of the unknown and casts
an illuminating light upon the abyss
Woman has added practically nothing
to our stock Of familiar quotations.
Take down your Bartlett or your an.
thology, and you may he surprised to
find that from Mrs. Browning to Mrs.
Meynell women have never coined a
phrase which has passed into the com.
mon currency Of speech. Mrs. Brown.
ing has indeed written fine lines, but
nothing of hers can be said to have be.
come household word.
Nor has any woman novelist created
any character that Is generally recog-
nized as typical. George Eliot has
come closest with her Tito Melema
and Mrs. Poyser You would appeal
only to the educated few If you de-
scribed person as Tito or a Poyser.
But call a man Don Quixote, a
Micawber. Dogberry, Falstak. a
Colonel Newcome, Biltil, Parson
Adams or Bob Acres, call woman a
Mrs. Malaprop, a Becky Sharp, Bea-
trice, Diana Vernon a Meg Merrilies,
and even the illiterate will mentally
classify the individual as you wish him
or her to be classified.
"Ah, but" you say, Gin real life wo-
men are the true intuitions. They size
up man or woman at glance.
They are never mistaken when they
trust to their instincts"
l can only testify to my own expert
ence. have not found that women's
snap judgments of character are i'm.
bued with any special verify. They
form likes or dislikes quicker than
man does because they are quicker on
the trigger Of conjecture. They can
only be one Of two things, right or
wrong. If time proves that they are
right, as they must be In 80 per cent OF
cases, the right guess is remembered
and treasured up by the slower minded
man as an extraordinary instance Of
intuition. The wrong guess is forgot.

AN INCENSE PARTY.
Odd Etiquette of an Interesting jap
anese Function.

anese Function.
II you ever receive an invitation to a
Japanese incense party. accept It
promptly and thankfully. 1t has no
counterpart in our own social system
and Is as merry and pleasant an affair
as can be imagined. The people Of the
mikado's land have trained the nos.
trils for generations the same as we
have trained the eye and ear, and they
display skill which at times is star
Ting to westerner There Is an odd
etiquette to be followed in these social
affairs. For the twenty-rour hours
preceding the party each guest must
avoid the use Of anything which can
produce any OdOr whatever. Scented
soaps. perfumes. odorous foods and
even spices must be avoided. These
prevent the user from smelling accu-
rately and also interfere with the other
members Of the party.
When you dress. be careful to put OH
no garment that has been kept in the
ne1ghborhoOd Of camphor wood, tobac-
co. bouquets, dried blossoms or scented
powder. When you reach the house of
your host, enter 1t as softly as you can
and as slowly as possible. This Is to
prevent making draft by the move
ment Of your own body. Be equally
leisurely in opening and closing doors,
as a quick movement induces sud
den rush CT air. In the drawing room
the hostess burns series Of incenses,
usually four or five in number. Eacn
guest IS allowed to take three shifts Of
each incense and must then jot down
its name and number upon card.
Each Of the four or five incenses is
burned two or three times, so that the
number of cards will vary from eight
to fifteen. At the end the cards are
laid out on the table, and the hostess
reads the names Of the incenses en-
ployed. which are checked off upon
the cards. The guest who has guessed
the largest number receives pretty
prize, which is sometimes a silver or
bronze incense burner, statuette or
carving. Among the japanese the aver,
age woman guesses correctly about SIX
times in ten, while with the American
women the ratio is three in ten.-New
