TO Raise Funds Fer Equippins q
children's Room.

A good entertainment will be given
this evening in the lecture room OF
the public library, the proceeds OF
which will go toward the fitting up of
room in the library for the exclu-
sive use of children. Such q room is
badly needed and Librarian Frank J..
Thompson and others connected with
the institution are very enthusiastic
over the idea and the entertainment
this evening will be fort the purpose
OF raising the necessary funds.
The leading number on the pro-
gramme this evening will be q lecture
by DR.. Max Bait of the agricultural
college, the subject of hiss address be-
ing A Walk Through Berlin. This
lecture will be illustrated by the stere-
opticon, the slides being some or the
principal views In the German capital.
Frank Darrow will give an exhibit
ton OF slight -of-hand work In which
he has reached degree OF proficiency
which puts him out OF the amateur
class.

be a good attendance az the proposed
addition to the facilities OF the public
library il badly needed.

said to me when gasping his very last
words st die rejoicing that entered
the service Of my country" and an
other. smiling, said lit is sweet to die
for ones country but now after
forty-five years those left are almost
invariably in somebody's ways. II in
private employ they are too old to be
useful; IL in public Office the bone
is snatched away from them by
younger blood or they are Inundated,
If in government employ, by seeing,
in many instances less competent per-
sons advanced beyond them. You may
look in vain for any of them enjoy
ing the so-called soft snaps no matter
by whose hand distributed.
They are even begrudged the pen
sions given them, by large class of
people, who pirate about pension
frauds. Defy to them to name one in
all of their acquaintance, who has
been guilty of fraud in pension mat
ters and they cannot do 1t. But they
are going at the rate OF three thousand
d month the past year. OF the loyal
legion in Washington during the sum-
mer recess twenty were called home,
and In the several @. A. r. posts in
this city during the same period a
still greater number.
Even their own families are only too
glad to have them go In many cases.
In one OF the @. A. r. posts OF this
city last year twelve were buried
without even one member OF their
families being present, or responding
to the notice of their death. When
the soldier fell in battle there were
loving hands and hearts eager to show
affection and respect, but those who
survived are all old soldiers now.
The laws of the nation and most OF
the states give them preference In the
matter of appointments but those who
enforce the law give them the ha! ha!
Many apparently in robust health are
constant sufferers from pain, from
wounds received in battle. Others
have existed crippled or deformed,
with health impaired from disease or,
iginating In the swamps OF the south,
are now falling like the injured fruit.
Most of the boys who went into the
army were mere school boys. Their
studies were interrupted and when
they returned but few had opportunity
to complete them. At the age when
habits are formed, when business tact
is acquired, and business career lis
entered upon or a trace Is begun, they
were fighting the battles OF the coun-
try. and few indeed were ever able to
regain their lost opportunities, and
now they are held In contempt for
their failures in life.
In little while all viii be gone, and
those now so eager to crowd them
aside will be reaping the fruits OF their
age. They too must stand aside for
the young blood, and should another
war come upon our country those who
offer their lives In its defense viii be
the boys OF another generation and
the old soldiers OF their time And
yet that thought does not serve TO
tighten the gloom that surrounds most
OF those who were boys I'm blue from
1851 to 1865 who are nothing but old
soldiers now. Not one In q thousand
of them have competence for their old
age. and many not even the means OF
burial should the grim reaper call.

Co.. Lounsberry'S Washington Letter

Washington, Nov. 16, 1SOS.-Senator
McCumber. Robert Farrar, Mr..
Schlenker w. c. Van Horn, Major
Hamilton and possibly others of the
congressional force have returned to
the city from North Dakota, and have
resumed their labors. The session
promises to be an exceedingly lively
one and will be followed Immediately
by a special session..
The president does not intend to let
UP In the slightest degree in his de-
mands for legislation that will further
curb the trusts, and the president
elect is pledged to carry on his poll
cies, but probably on lines less radl-
cal .......
Senator McCumber is prepared TO
push his wheat inspection bill to the
very limit. 1t is to be hoped that he
will have the support OF Senator
Hansbrough, who as chairman of the
committee on agriculture, is in posi-
ticn to render effective aid.
John d. Benton and Miss Mary
Benton, and other members of the bat
tleship party, are in the city today,
and are enjoying Washington i'm
mensely. but / have not been able to
see them.
An important decision has been rem
dered in the case of Gilbert Satrang,
of Dickinson, in the matter of COM
muted homestead entries. Satrang
lived at Canton, South Dakota, and
went up to Dickinson where he made
a homestead entry, and proved up in
the shortest possible tome with the
least possible amount or residence.
At a hearing had on Special Agent
Cockburn's report. his testimony led to
the conclusion that he never intended
TO make an actual home on the land,
but that 1t was his purpose to make
cash entry and return to his former
home as soon as he was able to do so.
That was what he did He rented his
house in Canton with the understand
ing that he should have possession
when he returned. 1t was held that
an entry made with the intention of
making fourteen, months proof was an
entry made In bad faith, and both
cash entry and original entry was held
for cancellation.
In the case OF young lady who is
deputy, as the proof shows, is was
held that an assistant, deputy or clerk
In a fourth class Office cannot be ex-
cused from actual residence upon a
homestead entry by leason of such
employment This rule is general and
applies to all homestead entries by
that class of persons.
The law provides that persons to
entitle them to commute must reside
upon their claims for period of
fourteen months. t2s stats, 1885,
The general circular OF Jan. rs, 1904,
p. IA, declares that parties committing
their homesteads cannot be excused
from al cause for failure to i've up
on, improve and cultivate their lands
for the required period They are not
obliged to make proof In the short
time In which communications Is allowed,
and when such proof Is made full COM
plfance with the law must be shown.
In the case OF Fred Lidgett las II. D.,
37f1 Ii was held that homestead en-
trynan by his election to commute
assumes the burden OF showing full
compliance with the law In the matt

body can prove that the youthful
Washington did not chop a cherry
tree Very probably he did, and quite
as probably he did not ne about Il.
But If II were proposed 10 erect a
public monument to mark the spot
where the cherry tree stood, we should
ask for some more certain evidence OF
the accuracy Of The story than Par
son Weems long subsequent narra-
tive. That Is all that the historians
appear "a be asking about the Betsy
Ross legend They are not attack.

woman, nor the veraoity OF her de.

respected. But family tradition that
is not supported by contemporary rec.
ords or other historical evidence is au

dorsement that Is supposed to be au

traditions ought not 20 ask anything
