riers' Beneficial Association are ex-
pected to arrive In the city, and VIII

countant Kaufman, who will audit the

terday afternoon that the plans for
the entertainment of the visiting car
riers and their families had all been
made, but would not be announced
until after the matter OF transporta-
tion had been settled with the N, o.
T. company. He said the local car
rlers had had an offer from the COM
pany on Monday, which had been re.
fuesd. and until IL was known just

boring cities at different times dur.
Ing the week for stay of a day or

President Holland said the carriers
had reason for taking an interest In
the convention and the work Of the
organization. The members of the !
association had just received an In /.
crease In salary. not what they want |
ed. perhaps, bat the fact that II has |
been obtained was a move In the right /
direction and showed what organized /
and systematic effort would do. Since
this increase the members OF the as
sociation are said to have a greater !
appreciation OF the work OF the asso. |
citation. and for this reason an I'M
usually large number OF delegates and |
members is expected to be present for

ADoo Catcher Caught

A black French poodle was trotting

was pround of her dog. While all was
peaceful and danger seemed nowhere,

two repulsive men, came around a
corner. One Of the rufiins leaped to
ground and made quick pl lnge fer
the dog, catching it by the hind leg
and whirling It about his head inaa
circle, running - he did so toward the
reaNof his wagon. Quicker than it
takes to say so the young woman was

Well, sir, l have about made up my
mind that q poultry-raising wife is
the best life Insurance on the face OF

along. Just wait, reader, until take
bite off that big piece of Battle Axe

perhaps l can inject seine hen sense
into this lingo.
While think Of it, let me mention
th at q poultry raising wife is good

couple of cents this week, AID my
wife felt so rich that she thought
e edeu a new pipe,

ventive of hard times as poultry
raising wife. Well, sir, l have semen
where the man was too lazy to sit still
let the wife feed him on chicken pie

where Sthe men wouldn't furnish

have seen the hens scratch the flag

these same hens sing love songs and
Law eggs when apparently no chicken

PENSION DECISIONS
BY THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE DEPART
HENT OF THE INTERIOR.

AENT OF THE INTERIOR
Accidental Injuries.-An act OF
gross carelessness on part of claim
ant resulting in accidental injury,
and causing disability for which
pension is Asked The Department
holds thai said act put claimant
outside the line of duty, relieved
the Government of responsibility
and rendered the consequences non
pensionable.
Individual Furlough Where a
soldier was captured by the enemy
while on individual furlough, con-
veyed to military prison, and,
during his confinement as prisoner
of war, contracted disease and died
it is held that, having been kept in
duress by the dnemy, he died in
the line of duty, and the claim of his
widow for pension is valid.
Line of Duty, A soldier is not
in line of duty while absent beyond
the lines Of his command on leave
or on pass in pursuit of pleasure, or
to attend to private business, and a
disability contracted ON accidental
injury occurring while so absent, is
not pensionable.
Rerating. The Department will
not disturb former pension ratings
upon a mere difference of opinion
as to the correctness of the same.
nor will il agree to rerating unless
there appears IN the papers mani
fest error in the former action of
the Department involving viola
ton of law or an indisputable in
Justice to the soldier. The ratings
based upon former injudications of
adjudications of claim are held as
a rule to be rvs adjudicata.
Minors Pension. The pension
which is allowed the minors of
deceased soldier cannot be divided
except in the distribution of the
sum total thereof among the minors
and when one dies the
whole original pension goes to the
living; but the 81 additional for
