Be Charitable.

Never pass final judgment on any.
n from first impressions, We are
all such creatures in limitation. Eyes
are faulty, and the elements OF char.
acter which include us. often more
than compensate for the faults we see.
Look again, look deeper. You will be-
surprised at the number Of stars In
the night sky II you look long enough.
Most people have more virtues than
are seen by snap vision. Be charitable
and patient, DO not spoil your world
by peoplins it with imaginary beings.
Welcome the good in humankind, and
the good in others will reward your
quest.

UNDER NEW PENSION LAW
Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand
Applications Made.

Washington, May 10.-More than
$4,000 pensions have been granted un-
der the McCubber service pension act
So far there have been 100000 appli-
cations filed. The bureau is grinding
them out at the rate OF 1900 day
It will take about six months to pass
upon the applications already filed. 1t
is estimated that at least 10000 more
will be filed within the coming year
The pensions date from the day the
application Is received, so the soldier
who Is last on the list Is losing moth
ing by the delay His money Is SIM
ply accommodating.
"One remarkable thing about the
new law" said Assistant Secretary
Wilson, rs that only per cent or the
1000 soldiers who have applied for
pensions under the McCumber act
were not already on the pension rolls.
In other words, only $500 of the appli-
cants were not already drawing PEN
sions under some other law. This sur
prised the pension. officials. We
thought there were at least 10000 old
soldiers not on the rolls who would
apply for a service pension. But up
to date not one-tenth that number
have applied"
