sHAKEsPEARE's FOREST OF ARDEN.

There is not only this great Ardennes at the
edge Of France, but a little Arden in England:
and this Is not 10 be wondered at, for many
geographical name carried across the Chan
nel from the Continent. But some have claimed
that Shakespeare meant the Arden of England
Shakespeare seems TO write, however, with the
constant implication that the forest is on the
French border: he even portrays Rosalind and
- liza as weariIy walking 10 the forest from their
-rench home and his description OF Duke Fred
erck leading his army 10 the skirts OF the wood
seems clearly point out that he means the
Ardennes that Is beside France
And 1t is curious that. while Shakespeare was
writing plays Henry Of Navarro found II neces-
sary TO march force TO the capture or Sedan
boundary.
I was in Ardennes in the tdyllic glory OF early
spring A tender warmth was in the air and the
forest after the long unresponsiveness OF winter
was with shy generosity giving promise of loving
opulence TO come. The fields were pied with the
earliest daisies buttercups and violets painted
the meadows with delight, the first birds were
singing and the trees were gently unfolding their

ri say that the State is simply rotten
with politics and a most disgi aceful
condition of affairs exists. Not only are
the officials generally corrupt. but there
IS going on a heated campaign for every

Editor National Tribune: Could YOU
publish in The National Tribune short
statement from the official records of
the number of men commanded by
Pickett at Gettysburg and Hood at
Franklin? John w. SHRINK, Camp
Paint, Ill.
The figures asked for by our corre-
spondent are so uncertain as to be
hardly more than good guesses. The
number of men in Pickett's Division
has been variously stated at from H.
600 to $4,000. and even 10000. His
losses have been much disputed. Some
Of the Confederates have said that two
thirds of Pickett's command were killed.
wounded or captured. This has been
again strongly denied, and the Confed-
crate historians have minimized to the
utmost the loss Of their army at Gettys-
burg, so that there is q difference of
several thousand in the totals between
the reports of the Union commanders
and those Of their opponents. The same
incertitude exists with regard to the
number engaged and the losses at
Franklin. Gen. Hood had probably A.
600 electives in his army, but how
many he had actually engaged is quite
another matter. He buried 1850 on the
field. had $500 in hospital. and lost ZOE
captured, an aggregate of 6,252, exclu-
sive OF those who were so slightly
wounded as to be able to keep up with
their command. Gen. Schofield lost 1S8

Bill TO amend the Act of March 2.
1903, increasing the pensions Of those
who have lost limbs or been totally
disabled in them. in the military or

Be Ii enacted by the Senate and House
OF Representatives OF the United States
OF America I'm Congress assembled. That

persons hereafter granted pension.
who. while in the military or naval ser
vice Of the United States and in the
line OF duty, shall have lost one hand
OF one foot, or been totally disabled in
the same, shall receive pension at
the rate of $40 per month; that all
persons who. I'm like manner. shall have
lost an arm at or above the elbow or
leg at or above the knee, or been
totally disabled I'm the same. shall re-
ceiye pension at the rate of $4S per
month; that all persons who, fin like
manner shall have lost an arm at the
shoulder or leg at the hip joint. or so
near the shoulder or hip joint or where
the same Is in such condition as to
prevent the use of an artificial limb,
or been totally disabled in the same.
shall receive a pension at the rate of
SIS per month; and that all per ons
who. i'm like manner. shall have lost ore
hand and one foot, or been totally dis
abled I'm the same, shall receive a pen
sion at the rate of $50 per month: and
that all persons who, in like manner.
shall have lost both feet, or been totally
disabled in the same, or been totally
disabled in both arms or hands, shall
receive pension at the rate of 500
per month: Provided, however. That
this act shall not be so construed as to
reduce any pension under any act, pub
lie or private.
In the report accompanying the bill
the Committee says that ii is the same
bill which passed the Senate in the
5Sth Congress. but was allowed to die
on the House Calendar, after the House
Committee had made favorable report
upon it. IL amends the Act of March
2. 1903. so as to make it more SYM
metrical and harmonious i'm its appli-
cation to an extremely deserving class
of MANNED veterans.
The first way in which the bill will
benefit the veterans is by giving those
who are totally disabled in the upper
thight or shoulder the same rate OF SIS
which is now given those who had their
limbs amputated at the shoulder or hip
joint.
The second way in which the act
would be enlarged by this bill is by ex-
tending to those soldiers who have been
totally disabled in both arms or hands,
or i'm both feet or legs, the same rate
per month as is now given when both
limbs have been amputated. This latter
class is now receiving $72 per month,
and this bill provides for an increase of
the pensions of this class of manned
veterans to 500 per month, and will{
benefit very few worthy pensioners.

Davenport estimates that probably 40
pensioners would be benefited by the
first provision, at a cost of $4,000 a
year.
Probably 100 beneficiaries would have
their pensions increased from ST. to

observation justifies US in assuming that

clined in physical or mental ability to
an extent which would require an ad-
ditional sum for his support. And this
presumption will apply with added
force after he shall have attained the
age Of Is years.

opinion that the bill should be SO
amended that any soldier who has

A PHASE of STATES RIGHTS.

The old sacred doctrine Of States
rights is receiving a terrible twist I'm
the consideration of the National Quar-
antine bill. All over the South the peo-
pie are demanding that the Cove n
ment take charge of the quarantine
and enforce its regulations rigidly. The
object of this is not only the d eserya-
ton of health. but the prevention of
the fearful Generalization of business
which comes with every invasion of the
yellow fever. The Williams Quarantine
bill is demanded from Charleston to
New Orleans, and the main opposition
comes from Texas, which at the last
incursion Of the pest managed to come
out fairly well by a maintenance of q
State quarantine. The Texas politicians
take the old States Rights view of every
State caring for it's own citizens and
its own ports, but the other Southern
ers point out that Texas executed her
quarantine law to the advantage Of the
business of the State, but to the great
danger of the health of the people not
only of Texas. but of other States. The
State Medical Association of Texas is
not dt dii Ill ACCORD WIN the pOIltlc1anS,
and at the last Convention OF the As
ISOLATION resolutions were adopted say
ing:
Local control of quarantine gives the
opportunity TO favor commerce at the
risk of public health, say the Texas
physicians through the State Medicrl
Association. TO secure quarantine that
commands our connden in other
States We must surrender our own.
