 Something less than a year a9o Congress passed a service pension b7Ii which provided for the payment of pensions to all veterans of the Civil War who have reached the age of s9 years. regardless of facts concernin1 Q injuries received uring their terms of service.
 It was supposed and freely predicted by the pension officials that the nas- sage of this hiu would bring thousand upon thousands of applications for pen sions from what they called "the grea f unknown army" of men who came out of the service sound in body, and who never had asked for money from the Government. The lowest estimate made of the number of men who would apply under the new law was fn the 'neighborhood of 1o0.00a
 The great unknown army is still the great unknown army. for while Uncle Sam is willing to pay SIP a month to everyone who has reached the age of TO- only 5000 old soldiers have applied to be put on the pension roll under the new law.

Bridgeport. Conn. Special.
 Conditions are greatly improved in Bridgeport, the industrial capital of New England. During the month of December several factories were closed. due to one business condition or anoth- CT. and a few took advantage of the dull times to make necessary repairs or Improvements: but every factory has resumed operations. some in full force and others to perhaps 75 per cent of their capacity. and some which were running on short time will increase. One of the plain signs of better times is the resumption of work in all depart ments of the Columbia Photograph Company. which is one of Bridgeports largest enterprises. and which employs regularly from 2.000 to 3,00O men
 The following concerns in addition to large number of smaller ones. have resumed operations either on full time or part time: Singer ManufacturinE Company, American Tube and Stamp ing Company. BuIiard Machine Tool Company. Locomobile Company of America and Salts Textile Manufae- turing Company

And he did stay with her all through
the long watches OF that long night
He never closed his eyes in sleep.
Sometimes Mary would drop Of into
uneasy slumber-always of short du
ration. When she awakened suddenly
in wide-eyed fright. he soothed her
with all tenderness. Sometimes when
he thought she was sleeping. she
would clutch his arm desperately and
cry out that there was some one be-
hind the big cottonwood. Again it
would be to ask him in a terrified
whisper II he did not hear hoof- beats.

begged him to listen. He could al
ways quiet her. and she tried hard to
keep from wandering; but after a
short, broken rest, she would cry out
again in endless repetition of the ter.
rors OF that awful night.
Mrs. White and several of her small
progeny breathed loudly from an ad.
joining room. A lamp burned dimly
on the table. 1t grew late--12 o'clock
and after. At last she rested. She
passed from light. broken slumber to
deep sleep without crying out and
thus awakening herself. Gordon was
tired and sad. Now that the flush of
fever was gone. he saw how white and
miserable she really looked. The cir.
cles under her eyes were so dark
they were like bruises. The mantle
of his misfortune was spreading to
bring others besides himself into it's
somber folds.
The men were coming back. But
they were coming quietly, in grim 81.
lence. He dared not awaken Mary
for the news he knew they must carry.
He stepped noiselessly to the door to
warn them to a yet greater stiffness
and met Langford on the threshold.
The two surveyed each other grave
ly with clasped hands.

Langford. His big shoulders dropped
as under heavy burden.

DAIRY COWS,
Are You Observing State Law and
Keeping Them in a Sanitary Way7

There are hundreds of creamery
patrons to-day who are violating the
pure food laws of the state in which
they live to more or less degree and
do not realize it. They are ignorant
of the provisions of the law on the
subject of dairying and carelessly vio-
late these statutes. The VS. have
been published time and again for
their benefit, but it is deplorable fact
that in some localities a good farm
or dairy paper is seldom visitor.
They will not take the paper and
would not read them if the papers
were given to them. What such men
need, declares the Northwestern Agri-
cnlturist, is a vigorous application Of
the law. 1t has been said that the
most certain way to reach mans
heart is by way of his stomach: 1t
might also be said that the most Ger.
tain way to reach most mems mind Is
by the way of their pocketbook. They
will not give thought to this question
of properly caring for their cows and
the milk, until they can be made to
understand that it will cost them mon
ey if they neglect to do so.

WATERING COWS.
Care in the Quality Of Water Provided
Is important.

The best arrangements for the
watering of dairy cows ! consider to
he individual basins between the cows
IN the winter time and running water
in the summer time. In the winter
says the writer in Farmers Review,
water my COWS out of doors, but that
is because | do as ! have to do and
not as | want to do. Most of the
farmers about here water their cows
out of doors.
Where water is supplied at all in
the barns. the force that drives the
water comes from tanks OF windmilli
or from hydraulic rams. The troughs
Of cement seen in some barns, and
which run in front Of all the cows.
believe to be all right, but l prefer
the individual basins.
Most of the cows about here get
their water at the temperature 1t hap,
pens to be when it comes from the
well, but in the winter time it would
pay to warm it. | am satisfied that
q COW that is given water with the
chill taken off will drink more of II
end will consequently give more milk
than she otherwise would.
