Pension Day.

Last Monday was pension day, and
a number of the old soldiers were
here. There were some twelve or
fifteen new applicants.
The pension list is getting larger
in this county all the time from
various causes. The pensioning of
soldiers widows Is not, perhaps,
Understood Widows, whose husbands
we're killed or died from wounds dur
ing the war, get $40 per year.
Widows, whose husbands have died
since. get $25. Under a new law,
hereafter only the widows of soldiers
married since May 1870, are entitled
to pensions. But for some sucn
provision the pension list might 90 on
Cor a century or more. Sometimes old
soldiers marry young wives, who will
probably live rs years, and 30 on.
The last pensioner Of the Revo lu-
tionary War in Virginia, says Senator
st. Clair, died about five years ago,
in Carroll county, an illustration of
the perpetuating widow plan. Hence,
it can be understood, partia lily, at
least. how the federal pension list
grows, or oiminishes so slowly. The
number of new applicants here on
Monday was larger than the number
that have died during the year.

THE MASTERS CALL.

If you cannot cross the ocean
And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heather nearer,
You can help them at your door.
If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say "He died for ALL"
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the Judgments dread alarms,
You may lead the little children
To the Savior's waiting arms.
And 1t may be that the children
You have led with tremb ling hand,
Will be found among your jewels.
When you reach the Better Land.
Let none hear you idly saying.
"There is nothing can do. j"
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Savior calls for you.
Loud and strong the Master calleth,
Rich reward he offers thee;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
Here am |, send me. send me -

lives of all aboard the Titanic. ."They
told me there would not be any
glasses, testified Lookout Fleet, of
the Titanic, who sighted the iceberg,
when asked about it before the Sem

would have sighted the iceberg in
time for the ship to have swung clear
of the ice.
1t has been learned that the steam
ship Mount Temple was within five
miles of the Titanic when the latter
sunk. The passengers on board the
Mount Temple testified that they

Twin Calves From Dead Cow.

Last Friday, Mr.. Jas. Ed. Peery
found his 3-year old heifer down and
in very bad shape. 1t was about time
for her to become fresh. She could
not get up and had worried and beat
en- herself until life was nearly ex-
tlnct. He went home. and in the af-
ternoon took man with him, hoping
to get the COW on her feet. He found
her about dead. groaning and entirely
motionless. showing no sign of de-
livering. Seeing that she was bound
to die he severed the jugular vain to
relieve her of her suffering About
the time the COW was breathing her
last movement of the calf was no.
ticed. He cut the COW open as q
matter of curiosity to see, if pos-
sible, the cause of her trouble, and
took from her two calves, both alive.
They were taken home, carefully
cared for, and are living and doing
well now, having been put on frest
COW. For several days they were fec
from bottle. So far as known tbi,
is the first and only case on record OF
twin calves being delivered in thi!
, way from a comparatively deat
mother. Do any of our readers know
of similar case?
