LIKES TIE. OLD SONGS
MIppLE-AGED MAN ALLOWS HIM.
SELF TO WONDER.
Will the DItties Of tho Present Day

lions as Do Those Of the
lona-Distant pays7

do you know what wonder some
times?" said the middle-aged man. Il
wonder if any Of the songs Of the pres
ent day will live In the minds of the
young people who sing them now to
arouse pleasant recollections In them
80 years from now.
do you see what I mean? I know,
I guess, 40 songs-2O anyway-that we
used to sing when I was youth that
we all thought we're lovely. Some Of
these had come down to US from old.
Or times and they are still living, and
I suppose will keep on living. But
there were other songs, written in
that day, that appeal to us older PEG.
pie now as strongly as they did then,
and perhaps more so, though In q
somewhat different way now because
they bring back fond recollections.
II have no greater pleasure than
hearing my children play and sing
those old songs that were sung when l
was young, and wonder do Won
der-if any of these songs written say
around In the last ten years, will sur
vive, to be sung by my children SO
years hence, with an interest like mine
now In the songs Of my youth.
II am inclined to doubt 1t. Lots OF
the songs Of the present time are fool
ish, aren't they? And with words poor
or worse than poor. And still when l
sit down with book Of my old songs
and go over 1t in cold blood, reading
instead of singing, have to smile over
some of them, for some Of them were
pretty thin and meager stuff when you
came to read them. Still youth likes
high flown romantic things and it
doesn't apply the acid test. We don't
do that till we are older, and among
the songs written in the present day
there may be some that will survive,
foolish though they may seem to be to
people Of maturer years.
and how do know but that the
old folks in my younger days thought
Maybe they did; but we loved them
then and as older people we love them
now; they make youth spring up in
us again. And It may be, It may be,
that some of these present day songs
that we older people now think Of no
account will still live. either by some
charm Of their own or by the charm
Of all things associated with youth,
to be sung 80 years from now by our
children then grown old, just as we
now sing over the songs Of our youth,
and with just the same Joy. It may
be. But I think they will then be
singing too some Of the songs that
pleased us, the songs that 90 down

Canadian or New Foundland trade during the fall and win ter season of 1911-1g12. Of the S5 vessels cast ashore, sunk, burned, or involved in other mishaps, seven were steamers. two full rigged ships, two barks, three briss' 8i schooners and seven barges. The fnan- cial loss is estimated at more than a,OoO,- GOO.
 Heavy storms and gales that swept the Atlantic during November caused the death of 3S sailors and brought disaster to 3s vessels. The worst wreck was that of the Norwegian full rigged ship Antigua of Christiana, which was driven on the rocks during the night of November It. with a loss of 15 lives.
 The tank steamer Chesapeake. New York for Tangier, was burned In mid ocean on December 15 The second off, OCT and 32 Chinese sailors disappeared aft CT taking to one of her small boats.

PENSION WARRANTS
 ISSUED BY AUDITOR

Montgomery, March Sl.-(Special) )-Pen- sion warrants for the third quarter. az gregating S3l1 954, have been sent out by Auditor C. Brooks Smith to the various probate judges of the state, for distribu- tion on April l. The total number of warrants sent out was 17,s90 distributed in the following classes; First, 1888, S33,- 450; Second. 341S, s6S, 36O; Third, 13,13i, S2lo. Al.
 The amount paid out by the state on January 1 to the pension fund was $3l2,. 69o and the amount paid out on october l, 1911. was $31S,S27. making a total for the three quarters of S93S, i0l, which the state has paid out this year to old veterans and their wives. The expenses of the pen sion department for the year have been S6s46 and reinstatements have cost the state Sl10S. .65. These two amounts added to the amount of pensions paid out bring the total cost to the state for the three quarters up to $94s, 155. e5.
 There will be no pensions for the fourth quarter this year This was brought about by reason of the fact that the last legislature abolished pensions of the fourth class and promoted them to the third, the result being that the entire pension fund for the year was exhausted by the third quarter.
 The state has paid out more money for
