PENSION DECISIONS.


Marring e-New Hampshire Claim
ant married one Mordaunt in New
HAMPSHIRE in 1871. He disap peared
the day subsequent to said marriage
and has never since been heard of
Soldier and claimant were ceremo-
nialIy married in said State in 1890.
Held: That the presumption of the
innocency of the parties to the second
marriage rebuts the presumtion of the
duration of Mordaunt's life beyond
the term of seven years from his
disappearance. The second marriage
was therefore valid and claimant is
the widow Of the soldier.

over the estate of an insane person,
and of his person when he comes
within the jurisdiction of said state,

state; neither does it give him au-
thority over the estate of said ward

Marriage-Divorce. 1t is settled
law in Indiana that when a marriage
has been consumated in accordance
with the forms of law it is presumed
that no legal impeachment existed to
The parties entering into such marri-
age, and the fact, if shown, that
either or both of the parties have
been previously married, and that
such wife or husband of the first mar
riage is sill living, does not destroy
the prima facie legality Of the last
marriage. The presEmtion III such
cases is that the former marriage has
been legally dissolved and the burden
that it was not rests upon the party
seeking to lmpeach the last marriage.

Some Good Trotting.

A small but very enthusiastic crowd
witnessed the trotting and the base
ball game at Fairview park last Sat =
urday, and certainly got full value for
their money in the sport that the
after noon afforded. The ball game
was a specially fortunate match and
left everybody on the anxious seat
until the last man was out in the
ninth inning. The winning run,
which left the score three TO TWO in
favor of the East Madison team. was
made in the first half of the ninth inn
ing and the Skowhegan's failed to
score in their half. The game was
nmpired by c. A. Drake of Skowhe-
gan and Ralph Gledhill of Madison

JAILED FOR DEBT.
At One Time the Law Was Severe on
Those Who Owed Money.


In nearly every country Until com.
paratively recent times debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment After
tie panic of 1925 101 900 writs for
debt were issued in England In 1880
1000 persons were sent to London
LOO persons were held for debt in
England and Wales. LOCO in Ireland
and less than 100 in Scotland. From
time 10 time notifications in the laws
governing the Imprisonment Of debtors
have been made, so that fewer debtors
are imprisoned for this crime each
year.
In 1929 there were 5000 debtors in
prison IN Massachusetts. 10000 in New
York. 1000 in PENNSYLVANIA, 1000 in
Maryland and like proportion IN 9th.
er states. Many OF these persons were
Jailed for debts of 81. The law pro
yiding for the Imprisonment Of men
who could not pay their debts was
shown to he impraeticable by statistics
taken from Philadelphia, where in ls2s
there We're | .0S5 debtors imprisoned for
debts amounting to $4,000. The ex-
pense of keeping these persons in con.
inement was S3G2, 600, which was paid
by the city, and the amount recovered
by this method was 1925.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by congress in the United States in

fully enforced until 1S39.-New York

Some time ago George was Dragging
about never having told lie, and he
said he never would. An lrishnan,
hearing the assertion, made a wager
with George that he could make him
tell a lie in two minutes.

your little child and her friend were

thrown into the water Now. which
child would you save?" asked Pat.

There should be some sort of a va
cation in every household. The good
wife needs to get away fro n even the
associates of work once in a while-to
be soothed by the music of the pines
or the waves, and to rest amid the
freedom and quiet of nature. Ride
through the country, and you will be
struck with the number of houses
whose blinds and doors are closed
almost Dramatically sealed-not even
a stray ray of Gods pure sunlight al
lowed to enter. The dampness of
death must settle on all such house,
holds; and if this practice is contin-
ued, the only hope of the future of
such families is that the children will
by the very force of circumstances
be driven out of doors, and thus
their young lives be allowed to ex-
pand.

In his after dinner speech at the
Commencement at Bowdoin College,
Governor Cobb took strong ground
against the State granting aid to
classical institutions of learning, and
his speech was received with great
applause. Among other things, he
said:
Il am bound to take issue with those
who would accept every gift which
can be secured. | would rather see
these old walls in ruins, these newer
and later buildings barren and tenant
less and the walks of the campus
grass grown and deserted than to see
this old college accept one dollar
from the State she honors. beg you
to believe that Pm not saying this
from prejudice, for am not one who
would put anything in the path of the
education of our youth, but | do not,
| never have and hope l never shall
believe in the methods of competi-
ton in educational fields as theysexist
today. These ideas are not radical
for l believe they find a response in
the hearts of the older graduates, and
