RELIGION COSTS A PENSION.

Veteran Converted to Christian Sci
ence Knows He Never Was Injured.
Whatever ones precomceived no
lions of a mans faith may be one
cannot help but admire man or
woman who lives up to it to his own
hurt. Allen county has a man who
for many years drew pension in
the belief that he was injured in the
service. that his illness was due to
those injuries, long night march os,
biyouacs on the cold, open plains, and
that he was entitled to pension. He
had been examined by pension
board and it had given his claims it's
o. and said that he deserved a pen
sion.
But there came a day when he be-
came a convert to the Christian Sci
ence religion, which taught him that
pain was an error, that one never
was sick, but that one merely ruled
matter and that those who believed
| they were we'll were we'll. If he fol-
! lowed this belief to the last analysis
he knew that he had not been in
| jured in the service. that the lonely
vigils of the camp life could not have
| injured him. and that the long march
cs were really good for his health
that to believe he was in poor health
| was wrong and he gave up his pen
! sion, saying that he did not de-
serve it.
He was drawing a: pension Of $12 q
month when he discovered that he
was a we'll, strong man. Congress re
Gently passed service pension bill
which gives pension OF $12 to those
who have passed the age of sixty-two
He is now sixty one, and says that
when he reaches the proper age hi
intends to make application again fo1
! pension under this service bill.

Healy, who assumes the role of "Mr
Dooley" is a comedian of the first
water and is ably supported by a COM
pany of vaudeville stars, comedians
and a chorus of twenty-five bewitch-
ing beauties whose singing and dane
ing abilities are far above the ordinary.
They know how to pose and wear be-
coming costumes most gracefully and
form a delightful background for va
rious clever performers. There are
any amount Of jingling musical num-
bers in s'Mr. Dooley On The Empire
Circuit" including the celebrated mill
tary pageant, the Yankee Doodle Dane

bit; The Sisters Maginel-Mullini who
play on various musical instruments
in adroit and correct style; Sherman

Bumps and Bangs" Lester and Moure,

Gathred Fish From Fence.

Fish stories are always in order.
Since the recent flood along the Ohio
and Wabash and their southern In
diana tributaries there has been a
good crop of this sort of fiction.
With the receding of the water it
is said that luckless specimens of the
finny tribe are being plucked from
fence pickets, bushes and trees, and
barn lofts. A basket is all that is
necessary to get good mess of fish
if one follows up the places vacated
by the flood tide.
One farmer, Thomas Gognat, near
Hazelton, pulled a choice assortment
of buffalo and perch from the meshcs
of the wire fence surrounding his
chicken lot. The fish weighed from
two pounds upward, and he obtained
a boatload. He feels more than com
pensated for the loss Of his fowls.

Where Feathered Wanderers Sleep in
Winter. Partly Explained:
{ In zero weather, when the night is
pitch dark and there is piercing wind
driving a piercing snow perhaps you
have wondered, as I have, to think how
the little wild birds could manage to
sleep and not freeze nor be covered up
in the snow.
One stormy, winter night while
walking through Central park, New
York city, I partly answered the cues
ton. A branch#ef a large pine tree
swung close to and a little above a
street lamp. The branch and its twigs
we're quite free from snow, the dense
leaves or needles forming roof
above them and catching the snow
which had quickly filed up the spaces
between the slender leaves. Here and
there under the most coy looking OF
the leaf clusters was a little group ct
English sparrows looking as comfort
able as could be
They were somewhat disturbed by
my pausing to watch them and few
left to find perch on some higher
branch. Probably there we're scores
of these sparroWs in this tree, for
was able to examine only the branch
, near the light. Who knows but that
every pine in the park and many one
in the woods as well IS veritable
tenement for the birds. st. Nicholas.

Why the "Brigadiers" Have Been So
Successful.

In this era of progressive theatri-
calls it is a difficult task to present
something that is entirely novel in
the amusement line. Many ruses are
resorted to by ambitious managers to
gain the approval of the theatre going
public, but in the end the majority
have only failure for their pains; of
the failure of many managers can
readily be attributed to the fact that
I they invariably cling to the beaten
jpath in offering something for the en-
|tertainment of their public When
some clever promoter however. takes
the correct tack in giving amusement
lovers something that they have never
seen before the result is certain te
be flattering. This is what Manager
