A Thrifty Pensioner.

William A. Munson. notary public
and pension agent, of Providence, r. l.,
drew 10 pensions regularly for years.
The government paid him about $780,
OOO Munson usually kept the pension
certificates of his clients in the Office,
and executed quarterly vouchers fer
the pensioners. One by one the PEN
sioners died. Munson continued to ex-
ecute the vouchers. forging the name
of the pensioner, and usually that of
the identifying witnesses. He kept up
the practice until checks for is dead
pensioners were regularly coming to
him, besides checks for three pension
ers who had remarked and ceased to
be entitled to them. Among the ben
eficiaries was Munson's aunt. She
drew her pension until 1879. He also
continued to draw for five years the
pension of his sister after she had
died In her own house In 1897

acquittal. There was no dispute
about the guilt of the prisoner. His
attorney did not introduce any wit
nesses and the government attorney
seemed to think he had everything
his own way.
When Judge Stuart's turn came to
speak, he arose. His face wore an ex-
preston of great solemnity as he
mildly said he had been retained to
say few words in behalf of the un.
fortunate man on trial.

and the door was easily crowded open.
The printer was working away busily
and the engraver was seated at a
table with the counterfeit face plate
before him. The graver with which
he was tracing the lines was In his
hand.
When the detectives suddenly
bounced into the room the Russian
engraver came very near falling off
his chair in his establishment, but he
was an old hand at the business and
soon became cool and collected. He
could speak English auently and the
work that he was engaged in was
proof of his ability as fine engraver.
He had left his own country several
United States to engage in his pro-
fession. He had not been entirely
free from suspicion In his native
home. Suspicious circumstances are
dangerous over there and he was
compelled to flee to country where
he was unknown and where the laws
are less severely administered. The
staunton head plate engraved by him
tested the judgment of skilled experts
beyond any similar issue that had
been put out by the counterfeiters.
The plate was masterpiece.
Old Peter Delinsky was we'll known
among the counterfeiters as plate
printer. When first approached by
the Russian engraver he declined the
offer made and said he had once been
in difficulty in similar job and did
not care to risk his liberty the sec.
ond time. This made the engraver
more anxious to secure his services
AS a general thing it is difficult for
persons who have served terms in the

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot
ton Of tire results of four years use
OF the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it,
Il know it was that, because when
would leave it off for a few days l
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though I realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago l abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also in
duenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al.
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from Indigestion.
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since l began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
we appreciate Postum as a de.
a1ghtful and healthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the

THE COUNTRY CHURCH.

Is the country church to disappear
is the question put by a missionary
of the American Sunday School I'm

Mexican is merely emphasizing con-
ditions which already have been rec
ognized. .
staff correspondent for The Star.
travelling through Missouri last DC
tober. wrote on the passing of the
country church. In Boone county he
found ten country churches that had
been abandoned in the last ten years.
Dean Mumford of the department of
agriculture of the Missouri State Uni
versity. and G. 3. Ellis. for ten years
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture agreed that conditions In
Boone county were typical of those
throughout the state.
One reason. they believed. was the
removal of many of the more sub
stantisl families to the towns, which
left too heavy a pecuniary burden for
those that were left to carry. Mr..
Mexican suggests that the trouble is
a failure on the part of the parish
toner's to realize that ministers can
not live on pumpkins and beans with
now and then a few dollars thrown
in"
But if people neglect an established
institution and fail to support it. the
natural inference is that i'm some way
IL is getting out Of touch with its con-
situents. and failing to meet their
needs. In this case is the trouble
with the community or with the
church. or is it due to unavoidable
natural causes? Whatever the cause
the phenomenon is important. The
church has been a great idealistic in
fluence i'm the country. Is this to
dicker out, and If so, what is to take
it's place?

Conuress Won't Bother Us.

Some people i'm Arizona have been
puzzled by the bill introduced in con-
gress. at the suggestion of President
Taft-and passed on Tuesday-nulli-
flying that clause of New Mexico's pro-
posed constitution which undertook to
define the boundary line between New
Mexico and Texas.
If congress can at will nullify a
part of New Mexicos constitution, it
has been asked, why may not congress.
if it chooses. nullify any clause or
clauses of Arizona's constitution and
leave the remainder stand?
Congress has the power to amend or
nulIify any portion of either of the
proposed constitutions. prior to th,ir
ratification by the people of the re-
spective territories. President Taft. in
his special message on the subject of
the Texas-New Mexico boundary. laid
special emphasis on the fact that con-
gress had the power to legislate on
the question. inasmuch as the proposed
constitution for New Mexico had not
yet been ratified by the people of that
territory
And by the same token, congress
could. If il saw fit. lick into acceptable
shape the proposed constitution for
Arizona before its ratification by the
people here.
But there are two excellent reasons
why congress will not interfere or ex-
press itself in the matter until our
constitution shall have reached that
body in regular form: There has been
no intimation from Arizona that the
people here desired a congressional
revision. and congress would be disin-
clined in any event to help this terri
tory out of the hole into which it has
fallen. There is no anxiety in congress

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
The California Senatorship.


California is the one state in which
a senatorial election interests some
what directly the people of Arizona
since it is to the senators from Cali
fornia that they apply. as a rule. for
any help at Washington in matters 4
legislation or in matters before the
departments.
This territory will lose a powerful
friend in the senate when Senator
Flint retires, the third OF March II
is not at all probable that the new
senator, Mr.. Works, will be able to do
nearly so much for Arizona. granting
that he may have the necessary incli-
nation. for Flint is d senator of great
influence To Senator Flint alone
belongs the credit for obtaining. in
the Payne-Aldrich bill. protection for
the fruits and other products of the
soil of Arizona and California. II was
only by constant alertness and hard
work that he, with all his influence as
A leader of the senate. was able to
secure this protection.
Senator elect Works, if he has been
correctly quoted, is rather Indifferent
on the very important question of pro-
tecting to the greatest possible extent
the products of the Pacific coast from
foreign competition. 1t seems to be a
popularity of nearly all "reformers'
of the present day that they lean to
free trade-and Mr.. Works specially
is reform"
Senator Flint leaves the senate be
cause he is a poor man. The reform
primary election law of California is
so complicated and so thoroughly de-
structive of party organization that
the senator had to face an outlay of
many thousands of dollars if he decid-
ed to become a candidate at the pi.-
maries, so he announced his with
drawal The election game in Califor-
MIA is one at which only rich men can
play, and two wealthy men, Works and
Spalding. contended for the succession.
As between the two, we cannot see
that the people of California had any
thing worth while in guiding them to
make a choice. On behalf of each of
them money was expended freely.
Spalding carried a majority of the
legislative districts and Works had a
plurality of the total vote; and as the
law is ambiguous. each of them con-
tended with some reason that he was

however. had an advantage in that he

Does il mean that he is using the

that because the bar-room and the
