provision has been made through
this corporation for a pension for each
future ex-president and his unmarried
widow of twenty-five thousand dollars

pecuniary cares. These pensions will
be promptly offered to the ex-presi-
dents or their widows, so that no ap-

ness, its beauty and power to charm.
1t is story of New England home

enough humor and pathos to season
the commonplace incidents that are
Of everyday occurrence in every coun-

Joshua Whitcomb, the leading char
acter in the cast, was portrayed by
Mr.. Edward L.. Snader, who proved
himself to be an actor of splendid
ability, and his Interpretation of his

the whole, was good. The double
