before their graver and more noble breth-

their enterprise
Meantime the knights and princes OF
the Crusade had gathered their armies
and were now, in the summer Of 1926, be-
ginning to move eastward by different
routes. This organized body Jared little
better than the rabble under the Hermit.
The leaders fought among themselves,
and it was not until June, 1893, that they
saw the Holy City and asaailed its for
midable walls Their number was re-
duced TO 10000, but their devotion and
their ardor rose to frenzy. and after q

Civil Pensions

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
II Congress had a mind to pension the
old and WORKOUT civil employees OF the
government the time to do It is now
The number Of clerks in the departments
at Washington who can no longer per-
form any serious service is constantly
increasing. Many are over eighty years
OF age, while those over seventy are
much more numerous Few have made
any provision for the future, because the
scale Of salaries now paid is the same,
for the most part, as established about
forty years ago.
A crisis has arrived. The government
has notified a number of these aged serv-
ants that they must be dropped from the
pay roll, In part, this is due to inca
pacity and IN part bcause there is no
work for them 10 do even OF the minor
sort which they might accomplish. Trans
fers have been made where possible. but
the situation is that numerous men and
women who have worked faithfully for
years are to be turned out to face an
uncertain future. Many OF them are
wholly without means of support
Expense is the principal objection TO
pensioning such. President Taft favors a
system by which the clerks themselves
shall pay a portion OF the cost. and al
though this IS hardship considering the
ancient scale OF small salaries, IL Is bet
ter than nothing. II senator AldrIch is
correct We spend $500. 000,e00 unneces-
sarIly each year. Il would seem as II
enough could be saved out of this enor-

out one would, in a leisurely manner.
visit the shop deck, making ones pur-
chases IN the arcade running along both
sides OF the ship. It would be delightful.
The things would be cheap. because duti-

one would engage ones sewing woman.
there would be as many as stewardesses.
and she would shop with you. lending
the assistance OF her practical knowl-
edge. The scene would be lively, not In

expanse Of gray water. which would. in
reality, be doing its silly, senseless lap
ping just outside. No limp forms lying
about in chairs. 1t Is enough to reduce
anyone 10 the last stages Of limpness TO
look at that hopeless stretch OF Hquidity
and to know that the plodding, # well in
tentioned, ship hopes TO come to land In
the midst Of such q profusion OF water.
Everyone would be gaily looking in win
dows. wearing their usual trim attire,
not swathed in an abandoned collection
OF old and disreputable clothes.

that the present enforced idleness at sea

oversee the oYerhauling Of ones ward

and with all these things well under way
one could buy the last little necessities
which one always forgets, and the last
two days out rest from ones labors.
What perfect scheme II is: everyone
