SOME PENSION DECISIONS.
BY the Assistant Secretary of the Dc.
partment Of the Interior.

Marriage-Presump of Death
kentucky.-A marriage duly and
formally entered into is presumed to
be valid; and slight evidence is held
sufficient to warrant finding of fact
that death of prior consort occurred
within period of seven years prior
to such marriage, when such fact is
essential to make it valid.
Restoration Under Act OF March 8,
l9O1.-Soldier died while in the serv-
ice and his widow was pensioned.
She received the pension until her re-
marriage. October 10, 1871. Her last
husband died December 5, 1898, in
New York. On his petition he had
obtained divorce from claimant.
Held: That the divorce having been
obtained from her second husband and
not upon her own application, she has
no title to pension under the provis-
ions of the act of March 3, 1901.
Practice-Increase.- a claim
for increase has been rejected, but
thereafter another test medical ex-
animation is ordered, such action is a
re-opening of the claim, and increase
may be allowed from date of the
last examination establishing an in
creased disability.
Minors Pension-Act June 81, 1890.
"A minor child of deceased soldier
is entitled to pension under the third
section of the act of June 81, 1890,
even though the marriage of it's. par
ents took place subsequent to June
u, 1890, provided it is shown that the
surviving widow is not entitled to
pension under the general law.
Reimbursement-Mistake-W a
pensioners name is dropped from the
rolls under the act of June q, 1890,
and payments of pension are contin-
ued through error on the part of of a
pension agent, the government may
reimburse itself for the money so
paid out of the accrued pension in
claim in behalf of said pensioner for
renewal of pension under said act.

ABOUT PRUNING TREES.
Prof.Wialaron Of the Agricultural Col.
lege gives Valuable Information.

The following valuable suggestion
from Prof. c. B. Waldron of the agri-
cultural college been received: Rela-
tive to the pruning of trees,I will say
that 1T matters very little what time
OF the year the pruning is done, I'M
less one wishes to prune very heavily,
that is, cut off number of large
limbs. In that case, the best time
for operating is just after the leaves
have commenced to develop in the
spring, as the wounds heal more rapid
ly at the time the tree is making its
fastest growth, and the trees do not
bleed when cut at that period. This
is particularly true of the boxelder
tree. That should be pruned during
the month of May preferably.

Connecticut. This was the beginning
of the Student Volunteer Movement.
Prior to this, very little had been done
to inform, still less to educate stu
dents on the subject of foreign mis-
sions. But as soon as the movement
entered the field it began campaign
which has become increasingly extern
sive and efficient in carrying out its
four-fold purpose, namely: ~ to lead
students to thoro consideration Of
the claims of foreign missions upon
them as life-work; (2) to help and
guide students who have already vol
unteered in their mission study and in
work for missions; 90 to unite all
volunteers in an organized, agrees
sive movement; ca to create and
maintain an intelligent, sympathetic
and active interest among students
who remain at home.
The fifth International Student Vol
unteer Convention held at Nashville,
Tenn, from February Is to March 4,
1906, shows the advance in this line
of work. At this convention 1850 stu
dents, representing 700 institutions of
higher learning in the United States
and Canada, were present, and LOO
missionaries, professors and officers.
The meetings of the convention were
held in the Ryman Auditorium, which
has seating capacity of about six
thousand. Yet at every session hun
dreds of people had to be turned away
and even delegates found it difficult
to obtain admittance. The speakers
were the best informed men on this
subject, not only from America but
from all parts of the world There
were missionaries from every foreign
field presenting the needs as we'll az
the opportunities of their countries
and making their appeals to the stu
dents of America SO forcibly that
many were moved to respond imme-
Giately to the call. Beside the mis-
sionaries were such men as Robert
e. Speer, DR.. Karl Fries of Sweden.
who is president of the Worlds Stu
dent Christian Federation; and Mr..

Babes in Toyland.

One of the most ingenious and novel
mechanical and acrobatic effects in
Babes in Toyland," is that of the
spider of the forest, with Robert
Burns in the role of the titanic insect.
The makeup itself is perfect, and the
audience sits appalled, almost at the
extraordinary realism of the scene, rs
the spider creeps up the trunk of the
tree and along its gigantic branches,
until he finally is lost to view in the
dark recesses of his cavernous den.

a fitting climax to this sensational

Automobile in the Bible,

Someone has found hint as some
one always does when there is a nev
invention or discovery, Of the automo
bile in the Bible. 1t is in the vision O
Nahum, the Elkoshite, concerning thu
burden of Nineveh. In the accoun
given by this seer of the military mus
ter and array of the Medes and Bah
ylonians against the doomed city o
Nineveh, the mistress of witchcrafts
when the people in the midst of hel
were women" the Elkoshite has thi!
remarkable verse: "The chariots shall
rage in the Streets. they shall jostlt
one against another in the broad ways
they shall run like lightnings." A vari
ant of the word "jostle," which the
original Hebrew will, it is said, equally
well or better bear, is pass swiftly
without particular purpose, to anC
fro" a rendering which brings the cars
of the Hebrew prophet into, perhaps
still closer connection with the motor
cars of the present Gay.

there were so novelists in England

there are almost certainly not more
than so who make living at ALL An

ceive eighteeEpence on every copy OF

ness for Friday; with them the day Is
the favorite one of the week Tor wed
lings hut this is only another III
stance of the contrariness OF the peo-
n1e of the land of the heather. A dlc'
tionarv of dates, recently puDlsheu,
nresents some arguments in favor Oh
Friday which show that the Scotch
neonle are warranted in their aHec-
tion for the day that is elsewhere re-
garded with suspicion. Among the IN
cidents that directly affect us as d
nation, many of the more important
have occurred on Friday.
Columbus, according to his author-
ity, discovered America on Friday; by
the same authority the Pilgrim Fa'
theirs landed on the Massachusetts
coast one Friday morning; George
Washington was born on Friday; the
battle of Bunker Hills was fought on
Friday, and so was the battle OF
New Orleans; the capture OF Rlch'
mond. which marked an important
epoch in our late history, occurred
upon this supposedly luckless day
In European history the day has
been no less important. The birth OF
Queen Victoria occurred on Friday;
Shakespeare was also born upon this
day; the Bastile fell one Friday morn
ing; the execution of Charles |. was
on Friday; the battle of Morengo was
fought on Friday, and the burning OF
Moscow, which turned the tide OF
conquest against Napoleon, occurred
on Friday as well.
The adherents of the Friday super
stition will argue that, while these
events mark important steps in his
tory, and while they brought good
luck to some people, they were eX'
ceedingly unfortunate for others
While the burning of Moscow, for in
stance, was instrumental in quieting
Europe, it was a stroke of the worst
kind of luck for Napoleon. But while
it is true that each of the incidents
mentioned were unfortunate for some
body or other, it is also true that each
brought about results that are for the
general good. 1t was rough on King
Charles that he was killed, but his
death was decidedly an event that
furthered the cause of liberty. All in
ALL it seems that Friday has reputa
ton that it does not deserve.-Ana
