A GREAT RAILROAD PRESIDENT
PRAISES PENSIONS.
Experience of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Demonstrates That the
System is Wise and
Proper One.

"Under the regulations Of the PEN
sion department of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, retirement is compulsory at
70, and also at Go if the employees
physical condition is such as not to
enable him OF perform steady and sat
isfactory service. The pension is
percentage-for each years service,
of the average yearly earnings for ten
years prior to the date of retirement.

OTHER CITIES HAVE
POLICE PENSION
THREE MISSOURI CITIES CALL
UPON COUNTRY VOTERS TO
SUPPORT AMENDMENT.

Provision for disabled policemen in
the three large cities of Missouri is
so far behind the other large cities
of the country that, through commit
tees organized for the purpose, the St.
Louis, Kansas City and st. Joseph de-
partments are seeking to amend the
defect. In their work they have the
police conditions in each of the three
cities.
The improvement which the COM
nlittees urge is in the way of an
amendment to the state constitution
authorizing the police authorities in
each of these cities to establish a
pension for policeman where he be-
comes disabled in the performance of
DUTY. This approval of the peo-
Pile, through the adoption of con-
stitutional amendment No. 1, to be
printed first on the short ballot in
November, entails no tax or expense
whatever on anyone.
For this, If for no other reason, the
country voters should cast a ballot
"Yes" for the amendment
The policeman has long hours, is
constantly on the street in all kinds
of weather, in the day and in the
night, and especially in the tough dis
tricts where there is constant trouble.
And yet, under present arrangements,
If he is paralyzed by bullet fired by
some thug, the officers pay stops, he
Is unable to do other work, and the
man and his family must depend on
charity for what food and clothing
they get. What Missourian will toll
crate condition of that kind? If you
want to change this 'inhuman treat
ment toward the men in the cities
who stand guard over the homes day
and night, without costing you cent,
every country voter should vote
eyes"
An example of the city's enforced
1ngratitude may be cited In the case
OF Conrad Nau, member of the
mounted police. After serving the
department rs years at wages not
more than sufficient to keep the wolf
from the door, he was stricken and
was an invalid for seven years. What
little he had managed to save was
gone in a few months. Even an in
valid. chair. in which the disabled Of
fcer had to be wheeled, was bought
by subscription from his former COM
rades.
It is embarrassing for disabled
policeman to accept charity that way
after faithfully serving the public for
so many years. and 1t ia q shame and
disgrace on the people that they com
pei them to do 10 because Of failure
to provide . propsr; fund.
The Montgomery tribune., 1910-09-30

the three cities does not matter to
teachers in other districts or to the
general voter.
In the opinion of those back of the
movement the important thing to the
general voter and to teachers in other
districts is that no increase in taxa
tion is authorized to provide for these
annuities and that none but local
school funds may be drawn upon for
the purpose.

A Virginian Page for Each Member Of the Family
Famous Fakes Of History

| A sickiy seven-year-old boy, Thorn
]. as Chatterton, was expelled from the
charity school at Bristol. England, In
17ss because he was SO stupid he
could not learn to read or write. He
was the only son Of his widowed
mother. a poor seamstress.
1t was while he was idle after leav-
ing school that Chatterton found some
| discolored fifteenth century parch-
| ments in the Radcliffe church. where
| his uncle was sexton. The child was
seized with a wild longing to know
what these old documents were about.
With such parchments for text books
and his mother for teacher, he quickly
for education was as great as had
hts Lincoln Day speech in New York
been his former stupidity. He went
to another charity school, but there
he could learn little. All he cared
| for was to pore over ancient manu-
| script and to study the history of
hah-forgotten bygone days. The old
parchment documents were few. SO
Chatterton hit on a plan Of making
new ones OF the same sort.
A Game That Led to Hoax.
He invented a observation-disclosures
Rowley. a fifteenth century monk
and began to write poems and bits
of history which he pretended were
writings on sheets of parchmentx. ,imi-
| tating the queer old-time spelling,
and setting forth in verse and prose
the literary work OF the imaginary
Rowley. Then he would discoior the
parchments to give them the look Of
extreme age. And he found he hhd
the faculty OF providing himself with
Handmade" ancient manuscripts. 1t
was all a beautiful and wonderful
game that the lonely. dreamy lad had
devised as a joke.
Meanwhile Chatterton had been APP
prenticed to a lawyer. and had met
numbers OF the richer Bristol folk.
He wanted to mingle with such peo-
pie on equal terms Also. he was
tired of playing his manuscript
game" by himself. When, In 1868. a
new bridge was opened with much
ceremony at Bristol he set to work
writing a description C"by Rowiey'D
Of medieval Friar's impressions OF
fifteenth century bridge that had
SPAWNED the same river. He turned
this manuscript over to local paper.

chest at Radcliffe church. So perfect
was the imitation OF ancient spelling.

yellow was the cracking parchment
that he was believed. The "discov-
cry" made great stir.
All this encouraged Chatterton to
find a number of Rowley's poems
and historic anecdotes. These were
received with full belief. The fame
OF the discoveries spread through
England. Next Chatterton pretended
to unearth a history OF Bristol's earli-
est churches. and from stained scrolls
traced heraldic ancestries for self

The elastic belt is perhaps more
popular than any other kind, owing
probably to the great variety this term
implies, for one may pay as much as
$25 or as little as 25 cents for an
elastic belt, with all prices between.
and this shows that the quality must
be equal to the number of designs.
Among them are those for morning
wear with light cotton working

The small checker board design in

There are some women who prefer
these tiny squares in two coiors to the
more elaborate effects, and wear them

ing one of the colors in the belt to

Belts of galloon are in favor, espe-

sat down and wrote a communication
to the Democratic organ praising UP

1t was not published. Fred was pitched
into dozen times a day for his luke

He wouldn't even call the other char

while Miss Bessie was making what
her father called a whirlwind tour

None suspected that these master
pieces OF verse were the work of a
alf-educated fifteen-year-old boy.
But Chatterton was not content
with local fame. He sent a batch OF
the "Rowiey poems to London to
Sir Horace Walpole. one of the fore
most statesmen and literary lights of
his time. Walpoie read the poems
with amazement----He He praised them
to the skies and was ready to proclaim
himself joint discoverer of rare
manuscripts from bygone centuries.
All England was ready to follow
where Walpole led But the poet
Gray (author of the "Elegy Written in
a Country Churchyard") examined the
"Rowley" poems and declared them
frauds. Walpole, in fury, denounced
the lad whose praises he had just been
singing. Too vain and pompousiy
self-complacent to forgive the hoax
and to see the real genius In Chatter
ton. he wrote most insultingly to him.
Chatterton replied with a singing sa-
tire.
The boy was not discouraged. He
came to London to try his luck as
writer. There he starved. He
could get no employment that would
pay. He lived in q garnet on bread
and water, and often had nothing at
all to eat. Yet so proud was he that
he let no one know how poor he was.
He wrote letters to his mother and
sister In Bristol. telling them he .waa
making fortune and that great men
were his dear friends. He spent the
few shillings of his literary earnings
on buying presents for his mother
instead of getting himself food and
clothes. Once his landlady,. knowing
he had nothing to cat for three days.
invited him to dine with her. The

Poverty and Suicide.
All night he wrote and all day tried
In vain to sell his poems or satires to
one editor after another. He said the
moon inspired him, 30 he usually
wrote by moonlight Wonderful lit
erary works he created in his bare
garnet. but nowhere could he find
recognition.
FINALLY, in August. 1870. when he
was only seventeen, Chattsrton spent
his last penny on dose OF arsenic.
Next morning he was found dead in
his attic, all his unsold manuscripts
lying. torn 10 fragments, about his
body. He was buried in a pauper
graveyard
After Chatterton's death waIpoie
wrote too late in glowing terms of the
lads genius and tried to excuse his
own behavior toward him. Words
worth named Chatterton The Mar
veious Boy" Other great poets de-
lighted TO do honor to the memory
of the young genius who had been
allowed to starve in obscurity and dis
grace. At Bristol a monument was
erected TO him. bearing this epitanh.
which he himself had written:
ITO the memory OF Thomas Chat
terton. Reader. Judge not. II thou
art a Christian, believe that he shalt
be judged by Higher Power"
