Paw and Patriotism.

j Grand Commander Christian expressed
a noble sentiment when he said that no
man should be pcnsioned for having
served his country in time of war.
TO pay for such services tends to de-
stroy true patriotism. TO pay for such
services is to encourage the spells sys-
TEN. Patriotism is not q commodity to be
bought and sold. True patriotism asks
no reward for its service to its country
In time OF war except the approval Of
its own conscience.
# or course, the government should take
care of the veterans of war when they
have become disabled and have no means
OF support, but to give man pension
whether he needs It or not, as a reward
for his services, is to set a price upon
patriotism.
It IS a poor sort of man who gives his
services to any good cause merely for a
reward Z

CLEARANCE SALES FEATURE
OF WEEKS RETAIL TRADE.
stock-Tal<ings and Inventories Make
for Dullness, Says Brndstreet's-
Cold Weather Helps.

New York, Dec. 31.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Clearance sales by retailers and jobbers have
furnished about all the activity noted in dis
tributive trade in week usually quiet and
. devoted largely to stock taking and inventory.
Holiday business closed with a rush and q
volume of trade equal in most cases to the
best heretofore recorded Cold weather has
aided the distribution Of provisions and sea-
sonable goods.
High prices Of raw material cloud the cotton
goods market and while the mills are generally
busy, the .'at value nature of the sales for
forward delivery checks new business. Stocks
of goods are small and held down to low limits.
Wool is steadier and fair business Is in
sight. Woolen goods remain In good shape.
Eastern shoe shipments for the year 1903 ag-
gregated 5,lee 800 cases. a gain OF 1876 per cent
over 1902. ana 5.5 per cent over 1901. heretofore
the record year.
Iron has been quieter. Small business is re-
ported. Tubing is slightly weaker. The prob.
ability that new and lower wage scales Will
be accepted by the men makes for stability in

Observation-Disclosures Object.

| REPUBLIC SPECIAL
| Los Angeles. Cal. Dec. SD W. Dar-
| ling, the ''Shirtless Scout of Lookout
Mountain has had the police guessing
| for a month what they would do with him.
He has been going about the city in Fiji
| Island attire, bordering very closely upon
| indecency, and numerous complaints have
| come TO Chief Elton from people who
thought Darling ought to be arrested to
get him off the streets.
He has continued. however, to ride up
and down, clad SIMPLY in a pair of knee
trousers and brown khaki coat, wearing
| neither hat, shirt nor shoes and stockir.a.
and there is no law to reach him.
On Saturday he was found violating the
OF haiidbills on the street. and a stray
grasshopper in hencoop could not have
been snapped up more quickly.
Dariins's purse being even scantier than
his attire, he was locked up for want of
bail. As his wardrobe did not harmonize
well with the Jail atmosphere, he was pre-
sented with an old red sweater from the
odds and ends of the police junkroom and
was so arrayed when he appeared before
Justice austin.
He vas arraigned for violation of the
handbil. ordinance. but the police incor-
porated in the verbal portion of the in
dictnent his almost indecent lack Of cloth
ing.
This gave Darling an opportunity to ex-
ana 'shirtesS prophet though he may
be, he showed great aiacrity in his desire
tc Iecant.
He said that his mission was 10 do the
people good: he believed that almost every
person wore too much clothing; and it was
his desire to convince them that it was a
mistaken theory; and in the hope of ere
ating a stronger race of people he was
advocating living as closely to the garb
OF nature as possible.
III the people don't like it, he said, Il
tn
wishes. / am sure l am uHseifish in ii, as
l have nothing 10 gain, and if the people
do not Ike il, am ready to give 1t up.
Attorney Beebe nut in 4 word for the
prisoner, aying that he had no means. and
II would be necessary for him to serve out
In jail whatever sentence was imposed.
Darling took the cue and said: Your
Honor If the police and the people want
to send me to prison for the manner in
which ! dress. / am perfectly willing to
suffer whatever penalty you see fit to inn
nose.
