PENSION DECISIONS
BY THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
OF THE DEPARTMENT. or THE
INTERIOR. NJ

Widows Claim. Where an alleged
widow claims pension on the ground i
Of Illegally of her second marriage,
the department holds that all Of the
facts which go to establish that sucn
second marriage is null and void
must be established upon the best
evidence. There must be proof OF
the fact to sustain the declaration.
Line of Duty.-A soldier, while un-
der orders and obeying army reguIa-
lions, is in the line of duty for PEN
sionable purposes. The government
cannot be relieved Of responsibility
for the injuries incurred by the sol
dier in the line of duty while lit lis

guard, while standing against a rail
or balustrade, eating his rations at
dinner time, Immediately in front of
his quarters, was pushed or thrown

| two comrades, who engaged in
scuffie to which the soldier did not
contribute, and thereby incurred in
juries; Held: the injuries were re-
ceived in the line of duty, for pension

Death Cause.-Where pathological
relation between the death cause and
the pensioned disability is alleged, as
the basis of claim, the claimant is not
required to establish such relation by
absolute proof; but there must appear
some tangible, direct evidence on
which to base at least reasonable
presumption that the pensioned dis
ability actually produced the disease
causing death. .@ i , r.

would appear that our form of govern
ment cannot long be success. Prop
erty, liberty, or even life cannot long
be safe under these conditions. If
the lawbreaking element shall con-
troll, 1t will not be long until our
legislative halls will be filled with
grafters, likewise our governors
chair, and our judges benches. The
people will be at the mercy of grafters
and large corporations, and probably
will not wake up until the hand of
oppression is felt very keenly. Our
witnesses and jury boxes will be
filed with perjurers. Then where
is our liberty? We have no liberty!
The foundation of our form of gov
eminent has been undermined. We
are in great distress.
Let the people remember the old
adage: "A stitch in time saves nine"
IT'S easier to curb the disrespect for
law now, than it will be ten years
| hence.
BY countenancing 'blind piggers,"
we are not only fostering lot of law
breakers, but also a large number of
! paupers to be cared for by the state.

bylaws of the Civic Federation of
Sheyenne published, and called to the

efficiency and economy of it's govern
ment, and the highest welfare of the
citizens.
Second-To increase the number
and efficiency of agencies designed, tx
discover and correst abuses il
municipal, county and state affairs
and to increase the interest of tn
citizens in such affairs.

OF AID TO HOSTESS
SUGGESTIONS FOR NOVEL AND
PLEASING ENTERTAINMENTS.
For Sunday School Glass Of Girls Give
Doll Sewing Bee-For Endeavor
Society Try "Who Is Ftp
Auction Party.
For the Young Ladies.


A request has come for games suitable
for Sunday school class party Of IL
girls, ages from eight to ten. Also an
entertainment for Christian Endeavor
society, the members ages averaging
about II.
Girls are not usually as fond of games
as boys, SO why not invite your class to
a Doll" party? Provide dozen inex-
pensive dolls Tor let each child bring
her own dolD, then collect a lot Of pref
ty scraps, with scissors, needles and
thread, and for an hour let the children
sew-they will thoroughly enjoy it. For
refreshments serve ice cream in cups
covered by dolly dressed in crepe It's
sue paper; the full skirt goes over the
cup or glass and the dolly stands up
right; it does not take long to dress the
dolls. Give one to each child for q
souvenir.
Another thing to amuse is to have q
cutting and pasting party. Collect
pretty pictures with which to make
scrap books, and good pictures suitable
for cutting into odd pieces from which
to make puzzles" Make blank book
from pieces of plain smooth paper, then
let the children illustrate the book
from advertisements; nearly every
article under the sun may be found in
magazine advertisements.
A number of these books and puzzles
may be made. also paper dolls, and sent
to amuse sick children.
For the Endeavor society try little
game called who Is IT," Have photo
graphs or cuts of famous people, labeled
with names that do not belong to them.
Pass them among the company to be
correctly named This calls for consid-
cradle study and a good memory. Here
are some good pictures to use: Ma
poleon, Wagner, Paderewski, Queen
Victoria. President Roosevelt, Shake
speare, the governor of your home state,
Mrs. Palmer, Frances Willard, the car
of Russia, etc. BY watching papers and
magazines it will not take long to get
enough pictures to use.

A FUNNY BACKWARD PARTY
Everything Is as Topsy Turvy az
Though Happening in China and
Sure to Cause Merriment.

A Backward" party will give an even
ing of rare fun, but ask only about 20
thoroughly congenial people. In the in
vitations state that masks of the plain
est possible description should be
worn over the face, just to al
low seeing and breathing, and
very much made-up face be put on the
back of the head. The clothes are to be
put on so as to make the back the front,
etc.
The invitation must be written on the
back page Of note paper and finish on
the first page. When the guests arrive
they will be greeted by a large placard
requesting them to go to the back door.
They will go up the back stairs and be
received by the hostess in the kitchen.
The girls will wear their dress-skirts
wrong side out and the men their coats
In the same ludricous fashion. Ladies
will ask the men to supper and to dance.
The menu will begin with the dessert
and end with soup. The whole affair
will be as backward as it is possible to
make it, and each guest is to be re-
quested to look backward and relate
some interesting "reminiscences. The
house should be lighted with lamps and
candles.

japanese in Texas,

Mr.. Akioki, Japanese of distinction,
Is in this country seeking information
as to the climate and resources of Tex
as, where it is proposed to found COL
ony of his countrymen. He will short
ly bring over 300 families, who will
settle on solid tract of 10000 acres in
Bee county. They will undertake tea
farming and silk culture. The null
berry tree grows everywhere in the
region to a great size. San Antonio
Is the nearest town to the proposed
colony and the expectation is that the
newcomers will make good citizens
and intermarry and coalesce with their
Texas neighbors. Mr. Akioki says that
II the first colony is success he will
buy another tract on which he has an
option, and in this there are 100,000
acres, enough to make homes for 5000
families. There is a small colony of
Japanese now in Bee county. They
have devoted themselves to raising tea
and this year sold their products with
Q good profit.

SOME ETIQUETTE RULES.
A Few Sensible and Simple oonveu-
lions That Should Be Followed
by Every Man.

1t is best for the chaperon or moth
er Of young girl to ask the young
men to call. A young woman should
not invite a man to call except in ex-
ceedingly informal circles, says Eliza
beth Biddle.
In entering a dining-room, If the
dinner is very formal one, man
should offer his right arm to the wom-
an who is to sit at his right. The
men should remain standing until the
women are seated, then the dinner
should proceed. At the conclusion of
the dinner the men rise and remain
standing until the women have left
the room.
At ball, one of the first duties of
every man is to ask the privilege of .
dance with the hostess daughter or
with the young woman who is the
guest of honor. 1t is great discount
esq when a man waits several minutes
after the music for the dance has be-
gun before he claims his partner.
Nc man ever abruptly leaves q
woman standing alone in hallway or
ballroom. If she has no chaperon he
should take her to a chair beside some
OF the elderly women, and, with bow
excuse himself and seek his partner
for the next dance.
All of these rules should be followed
by the schoolboy as well as by the
man of the world.

A free population, ambitious to get
the benefit of its own labor and enter
prise, Is the making of any country.
With freedom will come more general
education and great upraise in Mex
lean life will result. BY way of con-
trast, remarks the San Francisco Call,
Mexico and Sweden and Norway offer
an interesting study. Mexico, with
peonage and restricted education, has
q wonderful and rich variety of nat
ural resources. Sweden and Norway,
with a cold and rather sterile country,
have individual freedom, and are the
only countries in the world In which
every grown man can read and write.
Therefore the Scandinavians have pros
perity, good homes and general and
splendid civilization, while Mexico
with friendly climate and great nat
ural resources, lags behind. But the
signs of advancement are many and
encouraging, and there is every reason
for taking a cheerful view of the future
of our sister republic.

The Automobile Girl.

The girl who automobiles, if she
would preserve her skin, covers her
face with cold cream. She lays it
on very thick, and over this she
spreads thick layer of face powder,
using the very best she can buy. Often
she does this so thoroughly that she
looks as though she was whitewashed.
Then she puts on her big automobils
veil. The result Of protecting the skin
by cream and powder is soon apparent.
The cuticle is covered and the skin
remains soft and nice. Dust cannot
get into the pores, and wind cannot
chap it. The skin is preserved, and
the trip does the face no harm at all.
On her return from her trip, the wom-
an who has protected her face In this
way can remove all traces of powder
with cold cream. She must cover her
face with a thick layer of the best
cream that can be made, and must let
it stay on at least Is minutes. She
then takes it of with a soft cloth, and
there will remain nothing but the
smooth, clear, pink skin.
