Tho Soldiers Pension Matter.

The Pension Committee of the Grand
Army of the Republic turned down the
suggestion made to them that the vet
erans IF the Civil War be granted a
dollar day pension for the rest of their
life, on the ground that it would prove
too expensive to the government. In
stead, it recommends certain increase
in the pension according to the age and
conditions of the beneficiaries, and their
families. Under the act of Feb. 6, 1907,
pensions are allowed all veterans who
are 62 years old, without obligation on
their part to prove disability or depen-
dency. The law is really automatic.
Under this law the veterans receive
the following sums: At 62 years of age;
$l2 month; at 70, $l5; at rs, $50. But
the large majority of the veterans are
mustered out by death between the ages
of 65 and 10 and comparatively few
reach rs and $50 month. There is
another feature also. Many veterans
are in better physical condition at 81
than are others at so and it is very
difficult matter to fix a just and equit-
able rate, based upon physical condi-
tion. And the contention that actual
service in the field should be taken into
account in fixing the rate of pension is
entitled to consideration. Thousands
of men who enlisted in the civil war
are drawing pensions who were never
in the field or heard even the echo of a
hostile gun. Many of these are receiy-
ing larger pensions than those who
served two to four years in the field
and participated in the whole hideous
panorama of conflict.

Companion for October. 1.-THE invita-
tions may be made the shape of tin
can, on the label of which is printed:
This can contains hearty invitation
to with the particulars of place and
time).' Anything is permissible on the
menu that comes in can or canister, a
jar or glass or box. Study the catalogue
of a good grocery establishment and
you will find that even an elaborate
meal can be planned within these linn
its. You can get olives, caviare and
anchovies. soups in great variety, bacon
in jars and Saratoga chips, cans of
truffled sausages, boned turkey, chicken
in jelly, cans of roast beef, pate de foie
gras, crabs and crab-meat, artichokes.
mushrooms, cheeses, ready-made en-
trees like beef la mode, braised beef,
chicken curry, goulash, veal and green
peas, chicken and ham. pates and, of
course, fruits, Jellies and jams, lady fin
gers and macaroons and crackers.
These are only suggestions.
''Small jars of candies or shelled nuts
and reisins make nice favors.
eff 80 desired, this canned dinner or
luncheon may be incorporated in a
Modern Age entertainment, at which
everything is done in the most up'to-
date way practicable. Invite your
guests by telephone. Use tea machine
and coffee percolator, and have your
chafing dish on the table, even If only
one dish-creamed chicken for instance
lis prepared on the scene. An auto
mobile ride afterward would make an
acceptable last touch. The place-SNr

possible"

Growing Old.

A little more tired at close of day;
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold aud blame,
A little more care for brothers name !;
And so we are nearing the journeys end
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
A little less care for bonds and gold;
A little more zest in the days of old;
A broader view and saner mind,
And little more love for all mankind !;
A little more careful of what we say;
And so we are faring down the way.
A little more love for the friends of
youth;
A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen;
A little bit nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long. loved and
dead;
And so we are going where all must 60,
To the place the living may never know.
A little more laughter, little more
tears;
And we shall have told our increasing
years.
The book is closed, and the prayers are
said,
And we are part of the countless dead
Thrice happy, then, if some soul can say,
II live because He has passed my way"
