THURSDAY, Feb 4. 1901.

For the past two OF three years
the members of the Grand Army
all over the country and their
friends have been clamoring for
a service pension bill. Up to
date three general pension bills
have been introduced in the SEN
ate, one by Senator Scott, one by
Senator Burton, and the other
by Senator McCumber. The
first two are merely bills to pen
sion at S12 per month all men
who served in the civil war. Sen
ator McCumber's bill, however,
provides for a graduated scale Of
pensions according to the age Of
the person applying, and it is
therefore Of general interest to
veterans all over the United
States. Senator McCumber's
bill provides that any person
who served 80 days or more in
the military or naval service Of
the United States aduring the
late war Of the rebellion and who
has been honorably discharged
therefroln, and who has reached
the age of IS years or over, shall,
upon making proof Of such facts
according to such rules and re.
gulat;ons as the secretary Of the
interior may provide, be placed
upon the pension rolls and he en-.
titled to receive a pension. In
case such person has reached the
age Of IS years, $40 per month
70 years, $3.50 per month; 4
years Or over, SIS per month
and such pensions shall com
mence from the date Of the filing
Of the application in the pension
Office" AS Senator McCumbel
is Chairman of the pensions com
mit5ee, il is safe to say that Ii
bill is 1aost likely to receive IA,
orabla consideration Of the CON
m;ttzc and the sora e.-3;s

ing, says a Paris letter to the Lon.
don Daily Telegraph, was a bro.
kendown beggar clad in rags and
apparently half starved. The
footman told him to go away, but
lie pleaded 80 p~iteously to see
the president of the society that
he was at last admitted to the
],all. The president came down,
and the beggar said in a whisper:
~ am GERMAN Nouveau." The
name is that of a poet who many
years ago gave promise of great
talent, even Of genius, but sud
denly disappeared, and had since
remained understandable. The
Ecggar was really German Nou-
veau. His history is an extraordi.
rarly one. Formerly a clerk in the
government Office Of public in.
struction. lie published a few po.
ems which were of considerable
worth, and which attracted the
attention of ali literary people.
Well known writer's took him up
and encouraged him in his work.
Many critics considered that he
bade fair to become the foremost
poet of his time. One day he sud.
denly came to the conclusion that
poetry was sinful, and that the
only holy life was total renuncia-
ton. Hc threw all his manu-
scripts, containing, it is said,
much remarkable work, into the
fire, resigned Ills clerkship and
disappeared. BE was not heard
Of afterward until the other day.
1t seems that he lived up to his
convictions and became a street
bcggar. Clad in rags, he sat for
years all day by the porch of AK
cathedral, and asked for aims,
subsisting only on the few pennies
which people going to church be-
slowed on him. Lately he took to
apostrophizing persons whose de-
meanor he did not consider sufi-
GENTLY devoCt, and one day he VIC
lcntly upbraided a lady because
he thought her dress was not
plain enough to be worn in church.
after that he was no longer al
lowed to beg by the cathdral Geor,
so he then started to walk to
Paris. With the aid of & small
grant made him by the Society of
Men of Letters he has now taken

It is easy to start false and mali

rectify the wrong thus commit

done. How careful then should
everyone be to sec that what is
uttered is the truth and no one

DOWN BY TIE SEA.

BY Harriet Loretta Knapp.
She stood and gazed across the gttering sand;
Her eyes, responsive to her hearts command,
Beheld, far off, beyond the surging tide
Her lover standing on the other side
His form outlined against the purple Skies
HIS radiant face, the love light in his eyes;
His white hands beckoning her across the deep;
When cold gray mists across the waters creep,
And the form she loves fades slowly from her sight
It but vision Of the waning night
No mere viii she behold that form of grace;
Nor feast her loving eyes upon his face.
Calmly he sleeps deep in his coral bed;
Asleep until the sea gives up its dead.

The SERVICE PENSION ORDER.

There is only ground upon which the order issued
by the secretary OF the interior in regard to service pen
sions for all veterans above sytwo years Of age has
been seriously criticised, and that is its being
proper use Of the executive power That it is in line with
the approved by President Cleveland in 1887 granting
service pension to veterans Of the Mexican war can not
be disputed The 1887 passed thtyine years
after the close Of the Mexican war; and Commissioner
Ware says, 1T would that if thirynne years after
the expiration Of service Mexican war soldier
titled to pension at sxtywo years and other reQui
site for drawing pension should exist except age that to
soldiers of the civil war, who fought vastly and
longer at least as good rule ought to apply"
