which he had never hoped TO see
again. Mr.. koogle has been living in
Denver for thirty-six years and Cap
tain Edmonds has been here. too. but
neither knew the other. Both had
stopped thinking about the incident of
the watch until Mr. Koogle went East
recently to visit relatives in Maryland.
when his sister noticed the old watch
and recalled the story connected with
II. In his diligent search for the owner
Mr.. koogle wrote to Congressman
Gardner and Smith of Michigan. and
through their efforts Captain Edmonds
was located today at 4025 Stuart
street. Denver. and was inormed that
he would soon get back the historic
watch.
At the battle OF South Battle Noun

September II. 1862. He was taken TO
tbs home OF Mr.. Koogle's sister in
Ncdletown. Maryland. and an arm
vas taken on Captain Edmonds gave
his watch to the woman to keep for
him. and after recovering enough to
travel was sent home. He forgot his
watch and long ago gave up any hope
Of ever seeing 1t again. Captain Ed

soon receive the watch around which

When Mr. Koogle wrote TO the Mich

and then the treasured old timepiece

Uncle Sans Pension Roll Runs Up
Into the Thousands


Washington.-"The unknown army
has been the subject of much contro-
versy in discussing the forces en-
gagged in the civil war" said Com
missioner OF Pensions Warner in
speaking o; the pension roll, but
never until the McCumber service PEN
sion bill became law was there a
means for determining anything about
TT extent
The unknown army has come to be
30 called largely because its members
did not apply for pensions. This they
did not do on account OF the various
reasons of celicacy, pride or indiffer-
ence. but most Of these causes have
been removed by the passage OF the
service law, and most OF the un-
knowns. those who have never hereto
fore asked for pensions, are comm G
to the front
II think everybody will be surprised
at the limited number there are of
them. So far there have been about
1S0, 900 applications under the new law
but Of these only little over one per
cent are in the shape OF the original
applications. or. In other words, appli-
cations Of the hitherto unknown posi-
DIG pension StIldluIs lut
entire number will not exceed 5000.
The other 275.0o0 applications are all
for increase. and were made by men
whose names have been upon the rolls
in the past"
Commissioner Warner is Of the opin-
ion that the great bulk of applications
on account OF the McCumber law have
been received. When the law first
went into effect the applications were
received in enormous quantities. as
many as 10000 coming In one day.
The number has now fallen to about
1000 day. and is rapidly diminishing.
The receipt Of SO many applications
has occasioned corresponding in
crease OF labor In the office, but by
shifting the clerical force to meet the
especial demands, 1t has not been
found necessary to augment the list
Of employees.
The records OF the pension office
show that 2.351 of the civil war pen
sioners died in February, but there are
still 652.4S Of them left upon the pen
Mon rolls.

Slow Trains Net Wanted.

Chicago-Passenger officials Of the
western railroads are not making rapid
progress with their general scheme to
run trains slower. At their meeting
yesterday it was apparent that they
can never reach an agreement to
iengthen by eighteen hours the sched-
ule Of the fastest trains between here
and the Pacific coast, as was originally
proposed.

The history OF the world prior to
Christ is a history of barbarism. cruel

of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
and you read a history Of vice. deg

written In blood and iniQuity. The
classic Greeks and tenacious Romans

the inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until 1t was declared by the
prophet Our worthy ancestors, the
TeutOnics, were semibarbarous

ONE SPOONFUL OF HONEY.

When you eat a spoonful Of
honey you have very little notion
as to the amount of work and
travel necessary to produce it. To
make one pound of honey, bees
must deprive $4,000 clover bios
SONS of their nectar, and to do
this requires 2,75O,OOO visits to
the blossoms by the bees.
In other words, one bee, to col
lect enough nectar to make one
pound of honey, must 60 from
hive to flower and back 2,75O,OO
times. Then, when you think how
far these bees sometimes fly in
search of clover fields, oftener
than not one or two miles from
the hive, you Will begin to get a
small idea of the number of miles
one of the Industrious little crea.
lures must travel in order that
you may have the pound of honey
that gives them so much trouble.
1t may also help you to UNDER
stand why the bee is ,unamiable
enough to sting you if you get in
Its way. When one has to work
so hard to accomplish SO little, it
is quite irritating to be interfered

TELLING A LIE.

Reverting to the subject of the
permissible lie, how about DR..
Osler's injunction to physicians
to tell the truth to their patients
under all circumstances? That
certain highly nervous persons
may be frightened to death, is
well.known of all practitioners.
Should such a highly nervous per-
son be told that he or she is crit
ically i'll, with the chances against
recovery? It not infrequently oc-
ours that the physician is mistaken
with respect TO the disease he is
treating and the nearness of the
patient to death. Many persons
recover who had been given up by
their physicians TO die. Should
the doctor tell his patient that
there Is no chance for recovery
when he thinks there is no chance,
Notwithstanding he may be mis-
taken? Many physicians, probably
most of them, practice a mild form
of deception with their patients in
many instances, thereby giving
thom hope aid courage that sus-
tains them in their fight for life.
Do physicians do wrong in such
instances?
