Tools Cheap at Junk Shops.

In every large city VIII be found
places where secondhand or junk
tools are sold. Tools of all descrip
tlons, adapted to every branch o,
mechanics, can be bought at prices
ranging from one cent up.
good-sized paint brush brings two
cents. carpenters hammer five
cents, pick or shovel 25 cents, riI
saw ten cents, and so on. According
to Popular Mechanics. the average
price Is less than one-tenth what the
new article would cost at hardware

full as new one,
Some of the stuff in the motley col

pawns, some from junk dealers and
a good deal from parties Of whom nc
questions are asked.
Frequently quite valuable tools anc
Instruments can be had for mere
song, as most customers want the
tools OF ordinary use requiring less

The prince consort was III, but his
death was not expected. There were

Calling. In telling the story himself,
says that when he reached Windsor
II was nearly dark and raining. He
walked 10 the castle and, of course
was refused admission
There was no one at the main gates
who would or was authorized to give
him information lie wandered about
In thc rain for couple of hours

castle, hoping something would turn

that be had dlsmally failed on his first

mp little prayer, bareheaded in thC
rain, asking for help in his need.
That prayer was quickly answered

as Catling passed one of the SOLITARY

Saturday it continued raining
until evening when the thermometer
fell and the rain turned into snow.
A high wind was next on the

dropped to below with the wind
still blowing. A sufficient amount
of snow fell to have made sleighing

But it was piled in drifts leaving

SERVICE PENSIONS.

The service pension bill, which
was passed by the senate aifew days
since, affords fresh evidence of the
feeling of extreme generosity enter
tanned by the people of this nation
for the rapidly ageing veterans of
the Mexican and Civil wars. Twenty
years ago such measure would
have been vigorously opposed, bun
today it receives unanimous support
In the upper house OF congress, and
no sharp hostility is likely to be
manifested in any part of the cOuns
try. The explanation is simple.
We have reached a point Of time
when all the survivors of the Mex1
can war and nearly all the survivors
of the Civil war have passed the
limit of disputable disability. We
have already established by execu-
tive order and legislation system
of age pensions, and the McCumber
5i a extends that system only little
further.
Under President r )oseveIt's exc
outive order Of March Is, 1904, the
pens on examiners were directed TO
consider as an eyidential fact, if the
corrary does not appear, that
when a claimant has passed the age
of sixty-two years he is disabled
one-half in ability to perform manu-
al labor and is entitled TO be rated
at So per month. 1t was further
provided that after sixty the
rate should be IS a month. after
sixty eight so a month and after
seventy $12 a month the full rate
For disability proved by medical
examination. The pension appropria-
ton act Of Apni "a, 1906, directed
that rebuttable presumption es-
tablished by the presidents order
be accepted as final and absolute.
Mr.. McCumber's measure goes
further in admitting complete dis
ability to perform manual labor at
sixty-two and abolishing all grad
ings between sixty two and seventy.
A veteran pensioned on an age
claim under the present law would
receive q little less than IS a month
Tor the eight year period between
sixty-two and seventy. Under the
proposed act he would receive the
tat $12 rate. After seventy and up
to seventy-five he would receive SIS
instead Of SO, and after seventy
I'VE $50 instead of $12.
It is impossible to guess how
much this change Of rates would
cost vsrnment. One estimate
Is $1a. u a year. But this SEEM
f0r it is difficult to say
uv of the possible bc
iclaries er the new law would
take adl f It's provisions.
When Press Roosevelt's order
was Issue j.. 9O4 some heated
imaeinatiOns figured its certain cost
at SO, 900. 10a to $4,000, 900. AS a
matter of tact the order caused no
perceptible increase in pension ex-
Denditures. The veterans now on
the roll who will be enabled to draw
increased compensation under it
cannot survive on the average more
than few years and it may be
