CURIOUS PENSION STATISTICS.
Uncle Sam Still Supports Three Rela.
tives of Revolutionary War Heroes.

tives OF Revolutionary wa Heroes.
Success: Some of our pension statistics
are curious. For example. We learn that
there are still on the rolls three pensioners
of the Revolutionary war. which was
brought to an end over 100 years ago. OF
pensioners accredited to the war of 1872.
there still remain $40. while of the Next
can war no fewer than 1868 survive. OF
thosc accredited to the Revolutionary war
one is Il widow and two are daughters.
The report shows that pension payments
are made TO people residing in every state
and territory i'll the union. and in almost
every known country OF the globe. Among
the states, Ohio leads in the amount OF
pension money paid annually to its citi-
Zcns. with Pennsylvania second. New York
third, and Illinois and Indiana following
closely. AT the date of the report there
were 1910 pensioners residing outside of
the United States. and they draw $122,-
1900 in the last fiscal year. Nearly hall
of this amount went to persons in Canada
Quarterly pension vouchers were sent pe-
sides to persons in Mexico. South America,
| every country in Europe, the Azores, the
Barbados, China. the Comoro isles, Eas;
and South Africa, Samoa. the SEYCHELLES
islands, Siam and ST. Martin. 1t shows
that the pension bureau was a busy office
last year. More Than oGS.G90 cases were
passed upon. IN 152.0@ certificates were
issued. No fewer than los. IA applications
were rejected, of which $4,000 were thrown
out on medical and $4,000 on legal grounds

One day, to test her endurance, he

purposely emitting to offer hera chance
to rest, and presently. in his interest in
the work, forgot all about the possible
discomfort of the girl. When he finally
did think of her it was with a start OF

watch that the patient model had held
that trying pose for more than IN hour.

said to her. 81 forgot all about you.

The coach proceeded steadily on its
way, passing in toward that quarter
where the high-piled, peaked roofs and

| On every hand arose confused sounds
| from the streets, now filled with a

| Shopkeeper called across to his neigh
Dor, tradesman gossiped with gallant.
Even the stolid faces of the plodding
peasants, fresh past the gate-tax and
bound for the markets to seek what
little there remained after giving to the
king, bore an unwonted look, as though
hope might yet succeed to their sur
prise.
"Ohe! Marie" called one stout dame
doorway near by. See the fine coach
coming. That is the sort you and /
shall have one of these days, now that
the king is dead. God bless the new
king, and may he die young! A plague

sit with my man and me, for we've a
bottle left, and while it lasts we drink
freedom from all kings!"
"You speak words of gold. Suzanne"
was the reply. Surely l Will drln7
with you, and wish pleasant and
speedy death to kings"
John Law and his companions heard
broken bits of such speech as this as
they passed on.
"Ah, they talk" replied he at last,
turning toward his companions, land
this is talk which means something.
Within the year we shall see Paris up
side down. These people are ready
for any new thing. But"-and his face
lost some of its gravity-"the streets
are none too safe to-day, my lady.
Therefore you must forgive me If do
not set you down, but keep you pris-

Tis not your fault that your carriage

morning OF that day. And at Quebec
there was later reported in the books
of the intendant the shipping, upon the
good bark Dauphine, of Lieutenant
Raoul de Ligny, sometime officer of
the regiment Carignan, formerly sta
toned in New France; with him a
lady recently from Montreal, known
very we'll to Lieutenant de Ligny and
his family; and to be in his care en-
voyage to France; the name of said
lady illegible upon the records, the
spelling apparently not having suited
the clerk who wrote it, and then for
got it in the press Of other things.
Certain OF the governors household,
as we'll as two or three habitants
from the lower town, witnessed the ar
rival of this lady, who came down from
Montreal They saw her take boat for
the bark Dauphine, one of the last
ships to go down the river that fall
Yes, it was easily to be established.

assuredly SO much could be said; for
obviously the king, kindly as he might
feel toward the colony of New France,
could not send out, among the young
women supplied to the colonists as
wives, very many such demoiselles as
this; otherwise assuredly all France
would have followed the kings ships
to the st. Lawrence.
John Law, a grave and saddenad
man, yet one now no longer lacking
in decision, stood alone one day at the
palapet of the great rock of Quebec,
gazing down the broad expanse of the
stream below. He was alone except
