Wilson opened the most notorious

its existence, however, there were few

She notified his brothers that at her

scouts had captured Smith soon after
he left the new jamestown colony on

Opechancanough had already heard
with disgust of the white men who
were building a settlement on Vir-

words, he was turned loose on the

keen knowledge of white men and

They hated the English. They loved
the company; although more than
once they had rebelled against its

money paid by the government for the

authorities refused. Then Riel called
his people to arms.

British officials to assume control of
their newly acquired tract of country

Pension System for Widows a Success

the money they were earning, on con-
dition that they attended school regu-
larry.
Many sensitive women hesitated to
accept this form of charity, and at first
there were few applications for such
pensions. Last winter, however, law
was passed by the legislature provid-
ing that the county clerk establish a
pension bureau, the pensions to be
paid from county funds in such
amount as the juvenile court found
necessary.
The law provides that a widow may
be paid not to exceed $40 month for
one child to enable that child to at
tend school; II she has more than ose
child, not to exceed S. a month Tor
each additional child. The yearly ex-
penditure must not exceed $4,000.
The idea of the law is to keep the
family together under home infiu-
ence.
Each applicant must answer ques-
tons prepared by the juvenile court
The list is made out in the form Of a
petition to the court and is fpnsid'
cred at a formal hearing, after full
investigation by a probation ofRer.
To be eligible to a pension, avon
an must have been a resident of the
county two years. The pension sys
tenn is costing the county about $500
a month.
