On Tuesday morning, three young
boys we're arranged in justice Cot
tam's court on charge of profanity,
and after good lecturing from the
court, sentence was suspended during
good behavior. 1t seems that week
ago Sunday the boys procured wine
from the home of one boy on which
they got drunk and became bolster
GUS and swore to the extent that they
had to be made an example of. The
marshal has been looking the case up,
but they we're not brought into court
until this morning. This is not tine
drst time that small boys have found
the wherewith to get intoxicated in
their own homes, and it ought to be a
Lesson to parents that needs no com
ment to show what the results might
tie.

This afternoon w. j. McGregor

locations are in the oil regions near
Virgin City. They are evidently To-
eating the whole of that part of the
county. Seemingly the county
would need no other source of rev.
enue should this lick continue at the
rate it has for the last two or three
months.
1t seems definitely settled that the
Salt Lake route will have to abandon
the Meadow Valley Wash. Now is
the time for every body to pull, and
pull hard to have the company build
their new line through the Meadows,
Shem and over the jackson divide
and thence, by way of the old Cali

Capt. Griswold,s Donation.

Editor National Tribune: I inclose a
clipping from the Burlington, VT, Free
Press and Times said to be copied from
the Washington Post, relating Capt.
Griswold's donation of his pension to
COnfederates. The statement appears
to be authentic and therefore warrants
notice. That the proposal is unique"
will hardly be questioned by anyone,
and assuredly not by veterans who know
and remember that out c the regiment
to which Capt. Griswold had the honor
to belong ia soldiers good and true
gave up their lives in Confederate pris-
ons. 1t is further somewhat remark
able that of this number Al belonged
to the company in which the Captain
enlisted and 80 to the company that
later he commanded. Thus it appears
that of the ia lives SO sacrificed, 80
were closely associated with him in the
service.
The impression made upon the mind
of the average veteran is that a true
spirit of camaraderie would find a
broader and more worthy field for the
exercise OF philanthropy and chivalry
among the survivors of the families of
the TIA comrades who went with the
Captain into and stood by him in cap
tivity, and whose friends were left to
mourn and suffer because his comrades
in prison were less fortunate than he.
Personally it Is no concern of mine
whether the Captain receives a pension
OF not or if he does receive one, what
use he puts it to. But the foregoing
publication wears so much of the color
ing of a play to the galleries. that I
hardly think his comrades of the 18th
VT. will regard his proposed action with
much pleasure or satisfaction.-E. L.
Foster, First Lieutenant and Adjutant,
1st Art, 18th VT, Newark, N. ].

A Pntriotic shoemaker.

The Hon. Edward P. Wallace, Of
Amesbury, Mass, is man whose burn
ing patriotism was constantly thwarted
by his physical inability during the war.
He was cripple. and in accordance
with the custom had learned to make
shoes. Out of his savings he gave the
Government the first 800 contributed
man to take his place in the first COM
pany raised and represent him. His
shoe shop was, as shoe shops were wont
to be in those days, q meeting place for
the discussion of politics, in which he
led. He tried hard to get into the gun
boat service, for he had heard of a
one-legged sailor who was doing good
service for his country In a powder
magazine, but neither the Governor of
succeeded in getting him accepted, tho
he offered to serve without expense to
the Government. When Lee invaded
Pennsylvania he got double barreled
shotgun and started down with the rest
to meet him, but was disappointed in get
ting into a fight. He kept up the most
ardent interest in the boys at the front,
and in 1864 was elected to the Massa-
chusetts Legislature. He declined a re-
nomination, and continued to work at
his trade until the introduction of ma
chinery took the occupation away fro n
him. In 1875 he represented the town
of Newton in the Constitutional Con-
vention, and then removed to Michigan,
where he was elected by the Republic
cans Probate Judge. He returned to
Amesbury after an absence of 10 years,
and was made Assistant Postmaster.
When the veterans organized G. A. r.
Post in his town it was decided to name
it in his honor. and he has been given
a prominent place in the Memorial Day
exercises every year.

Diss0lutien Of PaRtneRship.

The changes in the pension business
by the passage of the McCumber act
have compelled, much to the regret of
both members, a dissolution Of the long
established firm Of Butts & Phillips.

Comrade Henry A. Phillips. late Ser
geant in the same regiment, and who
has managed the New York end at
Brooklyn, has retired and will devote

E.-Pri.oner. and Other Topics.

Editor National Tribune: Enclosed
please find 81 for renewal Of my SUBJ
scription. There are a great many rea-
sons why like The National Tribune,
and a few that do not like. For ex-
ample, a comrade writes that he thinks
before the Ex-Prisoners of War bill is
passed a more meritorious class Of SOL
diers should be pensioned first, namely:
those who went out in 1852 to recruit
who were lying around camps Of in
struction. Now. if We cannot, as COM
rades, be a help to one another. let US
not be a hindrance by petty tealousies.
Another comrade, who claims to have
been in Confederate prisons, thinks Is
or 20 cents day for every day con-
fined in prison would be q proper rec
ognition by our Government. Perhaps
a Leather medal would suit him, but
think the majority of the ex-prison.
ers need something more substantial to
comfort them in their declining years.
Another comrade has an article in
your last issue criticising the President
for the action he has taken In the
Brownsville affair, and says the colored
troops did good service in the civil war
and in the battle Of San Juan. Ad-
hitting they did. that does not give
them the liberty to raise mob and go
out to slaughter innocent people on the
streets and in their homes, and he asks
the question, Would the President
have done the same If it had been white
troops?" and answers 1t himself by say
ing surely not. Now, / do not believe
the President took the matter of color
into consideration at all; it was simply
the criminal act Of the soldiers that
was considered, and the action by the
President will be upheld by all loyal
and right-thinking people. "A. H.

Early Experience.


Now listen while the poet sings
OF Charles Adolphus Hyrum Bings,
Who packed up all his worldly things
To be a soldier-man.
He packed his socks, two dozen pair,
And five good suits of underwear,
And thread and needles to repair,
And keep him spick and span.
He also packed a toilet kit.
A sweater that his sister knit;
(The Captain nearly had 1T
When he got sight Of that).
He took some backing for his shoe,
And brooms and brushes not few,
A chamois chest protector, too,
Two caps and one straw hat.
So into camp he gaily sped,
A forage cap upon his head,
And treasures stacked around his bed
And hung upon the wall.
In drill he far excelled the rest,
Was always shaved and neatly dressed;
In fact, he really was the best
Dressed soldier of them all.
Now, all went well until the call
To march and on the foeman fall
Had sounded in the camp, and all
Were taken by surprise.
Our hero to his quarters ran,
To pack and hustle soon began.
He figured that a moving van
Would be about his size.
This was wondrous load to pack
In one big knapsack on his back,
Beside his rifle and bareback
And ammunition, too,
A haversack and panil1in,
A rubber blanket and canteen,
A cartridge belt and bayonet keen,
Also a knife or two.
But somehow on his back he got
The whole outrageous, useless lot.
A camel on the desert hot
Is far more lightly weighed.
So thru the heat and dust he goes,
The sweat drops running from his nose;
It struck him then that underclothes
Were better never made.
The hot SUN beat upon his head,
The load felt like a ton of lead,
And SO he soon began to shed
The things that he could spare.
He threw away a sateen vest,
Two dozen collars of the best,
His manicure and physic chest,
And all his underwear.
He sacrificed his fancy shoes;
With toilet things he wildly strews
The roadway; save them they who
choose;
His strength Is almost spent.
He threw away his white straw hat
"a darkey got away with that,
A dress suit and a white cravat,
And still his back was bent.
Now. as the gentle darkness fell
He dropt his knapsack down a we'll;
His rife. that no harm befell
For that's his friend in need.
Just four long years and seasoned thru,
He marches in the Grand Review
Down Washington's broad avenue,
True veteran, indeed.
Comrade, was this you?

A just Pension Law,

Henry H. Walker, Remington, Ind,
says that fair pension law would be
to give every man who served 80 days
and was honorably discharged, regard
less Of age. $12 a month. with so cents
additional for each three months extra
service. When IS years Of age, give
him SIS, with so cents additional for
each three months service over the 30
days. At 70 give him $3.50. with tho
same so cents additional. When IS,
$40 a month, with the same additional
SO cents. How do you like 1t, boys.

were somewhat embarrassing. Col.
Ransdell, as Marshal of the District of
Columbia during the Harrison Admins
tration. had accompanied the President
on trip to Cleveland, o. The Presi-
Dental party were guests of leading
citizen of Cleveland, an old blue stock
ing Presbyterian and notably rigid In
his unworidliness. The President had
ridden from the railroad station to his
hosts residence thru q cold, drizzling
rain, and intimated to Col. Ransdell a
desire for stiff snifter of whisky as a
the Presidential desire to the butler,
who acted evidently as If he had been
instructed by his master not to offer
liquor of any kind to his distinguished
guests, the host knowing that Gen. Har-
rison also was rigid Presbyterian.
Finally Col. Ransdeil waived all cere-
mony and requested that drink of
room. The order Immediately was COM
piled with. Smacking his lips grateful
ly after the whisky had been swallows
President Harrison said:
Dan, 1 have always noticed that the
better Presbyterian man is, the better
is the whisky he keeps"
Senator Allison was 70 years of age
March 2. Tho he has already attained
ed States Senate longer than any man in
the history of the Nation, he is by NJ
means the oldest member of the Senate
in point of age. Senator Pettus, of Ala
bama, is the oldest member of the pres
ent Senate, being Sc years old, and ne
has two years yet to serve of his present
term. He was 80 years old when re-
elected to his present term. Senator
Morgan, the colleague of Senator Pettus
from Alabama, ranks second in age,
being SO years of age, and il he outlives
his recent reelection he will be 50 years
old.
Senator Allison is third in age. but Is
only eight months older than Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, who will be IS years
old Nov. %. Senator Cullom has just
been accorded another term, which will
make him "a years on his retirement in
1913. Senator Teller, of Colorado, ranks
fifth in age, being n years; Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, sixth, 76 years;
Senator Plat, of New York, seventh, "a
years; and Senator Depew, of New
York, 70 years.
If Senator Allison outlives his present
term, which ends March 4, 1909, he will
have served "A years in Congress, eight
years in the House and SO in the Sem
ate. This will rival the historic record
Of Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, but the
latter's "A years were continuous ser
vice, which Senator Allison can hardly
hope to equal, for an interval Of two
years occurred between Allison's eight
years of House and Senate service. Sem
ator Morrill, served IL years in the
House and then went directly to the
Senate, where he had served 80 years
up to the time Of his death in 1898.
Senator Morrill, was SO years old when
he died, and had he lived out his full
term in the Senate he would have been
90 three years old at its expiration in
1903.

copied from a monument in q West
Ripley cemetery:
John L. Jones.
Born Feb. Z, 1911.
Died Aug. II, 1875.
I came without my own consent.
Lived few years, much discomfort
At human errors grieving;
I ruled myself by reasons laws,
But got contempt and not applause
Because of disbelieving.
For nothing e'er could me content,
To faith some people did assent
Alone could gain salvation.
But now the grass does me inelose
The superstitious will suppose
I am doomed to hells damnation.
But as to that they do not know
Opinions oft from ignorance flow
Devoid of some foundation.
TITS easy men should be deceived
When anything by them believed
Without a demonstration.
