May Start Movement.


It was the opinion of several members
of Congress who talked of the Carnegie
proposal that it would start a strong
movement to have Congress make some
provision at the coming session for a pen-
sion for ex-Presidents as retired COM
manders-in-chief Of the army and navy.
In this connection was also recalled a
bill introduced in the Sixty-nrst Congress
by Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
chairman Of the Senate pensions commit
tee. proposing a pension OF $4,000 a year
to former Presidents and 5000 year
to widows of former Presidents
This proposition was defeated, but the
Senate committee on pensions reported
favorably in it's place a bill providing
a pension of 5000 year each for
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland,
widows of former Presidents. That
proposition passed the Senate April 5,
It was shown. in arguments support
ing that bill. that there was well es-
tablished precedent for the granting Of
pensions to the widows Of ex-Presi-
dents. The widow of President Will
liam Henry Harrison was voted $685.
600: that being the first grant of money
to a former Presidents widow.
The widow of President James K. Polk
was given pension Of 5000 year, and
similar provision was made for the
dent Abraham Lincoln, President u. 8.
Grant, President James A. Garfield and
President Mckinley.
Cause Of Opposition.
The opposition to the proposition to
grant similar pensions to Mrs. Cleveland
and Mrs. Harrison was largely on the
declaration that it was not shown they
were in need of such financial assistance
from Uncle Sam.
Senator McCumber submitted the
views of the minori y, arguing in favor
Of general bill providing a pension
for former Presidents. In the light of
the Carnegie proposal members OF
Congress are turning to those views
and rediscussing them.
THE President of the United States,
Senator McCumber said. in the report.
becomes by vir.ue of his office COM
mander in chief of both the army and
the navy. While his service may be
from four to eight years only. still t! at
Importance than that of retired army
officers.
1--WE could we'll allow the President
OF the United States. say, $4,000 a
year as retired chief
and keep within both the letter and the
annuities to the army and the Judiciary.
and the granting of a pension to the
widow Of one who had been President
would be clearly within the rule which
grants pensions to widows of officers
and soldiers Of the army only.
"It Is probably true that the sentiment
is sufficiently strong, and which. with
the growing wealth and importance of
the country. will become more strong.
that pensions will be granted In the
future. as they have been in the past. to
widows Of EXPIRES dents irrespective OF
their financial necessities.

BEDTIME STORIES
FOR THE CHILDREN.

GRANNY ACCUSES JIMMY sKNUNK
written for the Associated Newspa
pers.l
Granny Fox couldn't believe her own
eyes. No, sir, she couldn't believe her
own eyes, and she rubbed them two
or three times to make sure that she
was seeing right. She had left a
plump chicken on the top Of the hill
while she tried to catch Peter Rabbit
She had not caught Peter and now the
chicken had disappeared, and there
was no trace Of where it had gone
to.
It was very queer. Old Granny Fox
sat down to think who there was
who would dare steal anything from
her. Then she walked in a big circle
with her nose to the ground, sniffling
and sniffling. What was she doing that
for? Why, to see if she could find
tne tracks Of anyone who might have
stolen her chicken.
"Ahai" exclaimed Granny Fox,
starting to run along the top Of the
hill, her nose to the ground. "Ahal'
I'll catch him this time!"
In a few minutes she began to run
more slowly and every two or three
stegs she would look ahead. Sudden
ly her eyes snapped and she began to
creep almost on her stomach, just as
she had crept for Peter Rabbit. But
1t wasn't Peter Rabbit this time. II
was-whom do You think? Jimmy
skunk Yes, sir, it was Jimmy Skunk,
for Jimmy Skunk never hurries.
Every big stick or stone that he could
move he would pull over or look I'M
der, for Jimmy Skunk was looking for
beetles.
Old Granny Fox watched him.
Must have a tremendous appetite
to be hunting for beetles after eating
my chicken" muttered she.
Then she jumped out in front OF
Jimmy Skunk, her eyes swapping, her
teeth showing. and the hair on her
back standing on end 50 as to make
her look very fierce. But all the time
Granny Fox took the greatest care not
to get too near to Jimmy Skunk
Where's my ehicken?" snarled old
Granny Fox, and she looked very, very
fierce.
Jimmy Skunk looked up as II very
much surprised, Hello, Granny Fox"
he exclaimed. Have you lost a
chicken?"
You've stolen II! You're a thief,
Jimmy skunk" snapped Granny Fox
Words can never make black white,
Before you speak be sure you're
TlBnt,
said Jimmy Skunk I'm not a thief. J"
"You arel" cried Granny, working
herself into a great rage.
"Im not!"
You arel"
All the time Jimmy Skunk was
chuckling to himself, aud the more he
chuckled the angrier grew old Granny
Fox. And all the time Jimmy skunk
kept moving towards old Granny Fox
and Granny Fox kept backing away,
for like all the other little meaoOw
and forest people, she has a whole
some respect for Jimmy skunks little
bag OF scent,
Now, backing OF that way, she
couldn't see where she was going, and
the first thing she knew she had back
ed into a bramble bush, which tore
her skirts and scratched her legs
"Oouch" cried old Granny Fox.
"Hai hal hal" laughed Jimmy
Skunk. That's what you get for call.
