GRAND ARMY GIVES
CONGRESS A REST
WILL WAIT THREE YEARS BE-
FORE ASKING MORE PEN
SION RELIEF.
FEAR OLD SOLDIERS WILL BE-
COME DIsLIkED FOR CON-
TiNuAL BEGGING.

Toledo, O., Sept. 5.-Not for three
years will the Grand Army ask con-
gress for further relief measures.
Resolutions looking to an amendment
to the service pension bill, reducing
to 65 years the age at which a vet
eran can receive $40 a month, an
other amending the pending widows
pension bill to make eligible all sol
d1ers' widows who were married
prior to the date of the passage of
the bill, were laid over in favor of a
resolution granting congress three
years respite for old soldier legisla-
ton.
1t appeared to be the consensus of
opinion among the leaders that too
much hammering for pension bills and
relief measures might soon create an
undignified impression in the minds
of congressman and reflect discredit
on the civil war veterans at the time
in their lives when they would need
most the assistance at the hands of
other way will be sought by the vet
Grams to get before congress those
bits of legislation which they feel
cannot wait
At the wish of General l. R. Sher-
wood, his dollar day pension bill
will not be brought up for consider.
| alton and resolution asking con
gress to pay ex-prisoners OF war 81
a-day pensions was laid over.
! AS result of the Grand Army en-
campments in the past endorsing one
particular bill to be presented before
congress, scarcely a year has passed
| that congress has not had before it
/ for consideration at least one pen
sion measure backed by the entire
Grand Army.
After the installation of the newly
elected national officers yesterday the
encampment decided upon Salt Lake
City as the next meeting place.

SAILORS ARE CARRIED TO THE
SHORE BY ENTHUSIASTIC
NATIVES.

Melbourne, Sept. 5.-A large crowd
of Australians assembled at the sta
ton last night to take enthusiastic
leave of the Americans. 1t was a
scene of the widest good fellowship
and heartiest leave-taking that can
be imagined. AS each American
sailor arrived at the station to board
the trolley car to get down to the
landing stages, the crowd swooped
down upon him and lifting him high
on their shoulders carried him into
the building and deposited him in his
seat to a constant accompaniment of
hUErahs, calls of Goodbye old man, .
and final singing of chorus For
he's jolly good fellow" No sooner
had one man been started on his way
than untiring Australians sought out
another, and even when the Ameri-
cans arrived by the dozen and by
the score there was no lack of willing
hands and arms to give each sailor
or marine a similar send off Friend
ships have been formed by the men
as well as their officers, and there
were also many fervent and sincere
leave-takings on the station platform.

Resting Their Muscles.

When a man is tired he stretches
his arms and legs and yawns. Birds
and animals, so far as possible, fol
low his example. Birds spread their
feathers and also yawn, or cape.
Fowls often do this. Fish yawns They
open their mouths slowly until they
are round, the bones Of the head seem
to loosen and the gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies, legs and claws,
as every one knows who has had cat
for pet.
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging In roll, but not as a
rule on all tours, as stays do. "A stag
when stretching sticks out his head,
stretches his fore feet out and hol-
lows his back and neck as though try
ing to creep under bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
do It regularly; SO do cattle. This fact
is so well known that if a COW when
arising from lying down does not
stretch herself it is a sign she is i'll.
The reason for this is plain-the
stretch moves every muscle of the
body, and If there is an injury any
where it hurts.
