PASSINGOFTHE VETERANS

Not In recent years has there been any
compliant of the burden entailed by the
pensioning of the soldiers who fought In
the Civil war. Indeed, IL may be SAID
there was never any desire even on the
part of the most severe critics OF the pen
sion system, TO deny TO the deserving sur
vlvors of that great struggle the ala
which a pension would give them.
Criticism that was sincere was directed
against the undeserving; against those
who by fraud and false swearing were en-
toying the bounty which the nation de-
signed only for real soldiers and real pa
triots.
Today there is no criticism. and 1t Is
safe to say that every American VINO
reads the latest report OF the commits
sioner of pensions will find in IL that
which will prompt sad reflections. This
report shows that Civil war pensioners
are falling out more rapidly than their
ranks are being recruited.
During the past year the deaths num-
bered 1900, while the number or names
added TO the pension roll was only 4,s'4. IL
would seem, therefore, most probable that
never again will the gains equal the
losses. The monetary decrease as SHOWN
by the report was sl2,41o. small 1t Is true
but mournfully significant.
In this decrease In names ana IN
amount there is no satisfaction Tor any
OF the people of this republic. on the
contrary. It brings to them the sorrowful
information that from now on the men
who battled for the preservation OF the
Union will be summoned with Increasing
rapidity to answer that last roll call to
which all human kind must sooner or
later respond.
II means that within a comparatively
few years the heroes of the greatest war
in the worlds history will have become
only hallowed memory.
There still remain on the pension ron
the names OF 6e6,453 survivors of that tre-
mendous struggle, and no doubt there are
many others who cannot be so Identified
This Is splendid testimony to the vigor
and life-tenacity of the men of 80, ana
all true citizens will sincerely trust that
the day .rll be long delayed when they
cease to be patriotic power in the re-
public.

In the "tiptoe'' shoe the foot is held
exactly as though you were actually
walking on tiptoes. The entire weight of

front part of the balls OF the feet. The
heels OF the new shoes are unusually high,

that swept up the Atlantic coast a few
days ago was that of the death of Capt.

push off, trusting TO fortune TO be picked
up by a passing ship, Capt. Matheson
looked back upon his beloved schooner,
then in her death throes. His heart smote
him. He felt like deserter.

TO him, and he could not resist the call.
