age pension BILL by Representative
Sulloway, chairman Of the committed
on invalid pensions, has reused in
both parties enthusiastic adhesion to

position. This bill, which, well.ln.
formed correspondents say, is conf.

provides a pension Of eight dollars
a month 20 every veteran of the civil
war who has attained the age Of six.
ty-two years without regard to dlsa.

ten dollars month; and TO those
reaching seventy twelve dollars

drawing the minimum six dollars TO
eight dollars a month, and further
provides that the pension Of widows
who married a soldier prior TO January

dollars a month. In the matter of
calculating the amount that will be re.

About the Upper Lip.

A fashionable woman Of middle age

advantage over us, because he can
read us through our lips. We cannot
read him through his moustache,
