FIGURES ON UNKNOWN ARMY
Commissioner Of Pensions Says Num-
Der Will Not Exceed 5000.

Notwithstanding unknown army
has been the subject OF much contro'
versy in discussing the forces en-
gagged in the civil war; said Commis-
sioner of Pensions Warner the other
day in speaking of the pension roll,
but never until the McCumber serv-
ice pension bill became a law was
there a means for determining any
thing about it's extent. The unknown
army has come to be SO called largely
because it's members did not apply for
PENSIONS This they did not do on
account of the various reasons of
delicacy, pride or Indifference, but
most of these causes have been re-
moved by the passage of the service
law
$50 far there have been about $780,
900 applications under the new law,
but of these only a little over one per
cent. are in the shape OF the original
applications, or, in other words, appli-
cations of the hitherto unknown pos
sible pension claimants. Certainly
the entire number will not exceed
5000"
The records of the pension offic
show that 1851 of the civil war pen
sioners died in February, but there
are still 652,48 of them left on the
pension rolls.

because they fought so well that ye

cause the inimy didn't do it? And if

mad minute-must all that he and his

disobey ordhers? Isn't it a notorious
thing that the handful of the Seven

turned a batting into a vict'ry? Didn't
the little Officer want to save what

tThe Hon. Maud Pauncefote is the
eldest daughter of the late Lord Parlnce-
tote, FIRST ambassador from Great Britain
to the United States. During the long
and honorable career of her distinguished
father in this country the British en-
bassy was one OF the chief renters of So
cial life in Washington.}
The courage OF men is Cne OF the
many wonders Of the human race II
it were not for this lndisputable fact
The world would not be conquered
and the greater part Of it rendered
habitable by the courage and industry
of man. Especially in America do
we realize what this courage has DONE
When we read Of the hardships under
gone by the pilgrims-wcmen and
men alike-and the struggle that
went on to make homes for them
selves and their children, we begin
to understand that were it not for the
indomitable courage shown by them
the United States might not now be
holding it's proud position among the
worlds greatest nations. A witty law
yer once remarked that the pilgrim
mothers deserve the greatest credit.
He said: How few sympathize with
the pilgrim mothers! Yet, added to
all else, they had to put up with the
pilgrim fathers as wel].''
Women seldom have physical cour-
age, though there are several histor-
ical instances of it. There was Joan
of Arc. There were the women in
uyhn
against overwhelming odds. Even
now one frequently reads in the daily
papers Of cne woman protecting a
house against burglar or performing
other heroic acts, but usually wom-
ans courage comes out in far
quieter and more >long-suffering s
form, with no glory attached to it.
Washington Is spot TO make one
reflect on the courage of women. To
see the daily def]e at o'clock from
the departments, where 1000 women
are employed, is magnificent, now
established fact.
No one knows what courage is
needed for woman constitutionally
nervous to- have to be on time early
every morning at an Office winter and
summer, snow or heat; but the de-
termination to do OF die keeps them
up, for the handspring of a woman's
life-love-helps them along. There
is usually a mother or sister or there
are children whose very existence de-
pends on the vigor Of one member OF
the family. For them the woman
works INCREASINGLY, uncomplainingly
and devotedly
The salaries are high in government
employ; SO, with some little addition,
manless household can get along,
but it is struggle.
Then there is the courage of econ
omy, which. being translated means
self-denial. The married woman or
young girl not wage-earner but one
who by necessity of reduced means
deprives herself Of amusements and
of all expenditure on self, stitching
away, with Ihersown hands to save
dressmakers't bills. and buying moth.

War on Predatory Magpies.

A petition requesting that bounty
of five cents be placed upon magpies
has been forwarded to the Legislature
of Washington by about 500 residents
Of the township of North Yakima.
Farmers and sportsmen are the prin-
cipal signers. The former assert that
magpies cause much loss to their poul-
try, while the sportsmen declare that
there is no greater enemy to the game
birds than the magpie.

The boy took him by the hand and
led him two miles, and on reaching
the Jail he said to the sheriff:

BISHOP COLEMAN READY FOR TRAMP

Bishop Coleman is making arrange
ments to take long tramp next month
but he has not decided where he will go
or when be will start. Because Of many
engagements which he must fill next
month he will have to cut his outing
down to about week. and while he will
not get as far as he has gone on some Of
the tramps in the past, lie will probably
go considerable distance. The bishop
usually starts unheralded and without
the knoWlege of his friends, an outfit
which will withstand the wear and tear
of the roads, his identity is not often
discovered. Many times he has been
taken for some poor. unfortunate who
was tramping about the country in search
of employment. He takes these trips for
The benefit of his health, and as he gets
away from the cares Of his usually busy
life, be. lie generally derives great deal
of enjoyment from the experience.
