MORE LIBERAL WITH PENSIONS
Santa Fe VIII Not Ask How an En-
pIoyee Became Incapacitated.

Santa Fe VIII Not Ask How an En-
pIoyee Became Incapacitated.
The Santa Fe railway has decided
that in order to become a pensioner
of the road an officer or employee need
not prove that he is incapacitated
through service for the railroad If a
man is not able to work and has been
with the company sufficient length Of
time he will be given a pension.
This is a change of rules governing
pensions for disability which makes it
less difficult for the employee to re-
ceive relief. 1t no longer will be nee
essary to show that disability was
caused by actual service.
It is stated in Topeka that the board
of pensions may authorize the pay
ment of a pension to any employee or
officer who has been continuously in
service for fifteen years or more and
who shall have reached the age Of
60 years, or who shall have became per-
manently incapacitated for performance
of the service in which he has been
engaged and cannot be transferred to
other work which he he is able to per-
form provided only his capacity has
not been due to misconduct
This new feature of the pension rules
on the Santa FTe will affect a number
of men in the employ of the road in
this city.

IS NOW AL OFF,"
DECLARES TROUT
Frederick County Veteran
Who Advertised For Wife
Oespairs Of Ever Getting
He|pneet


John Trout has apparently given up
all hopes of ever again undergoing the
blissful experience of marriage
Wednesday he went to Frederick
and declared that lit is all off" The
surprised reporter naturally asked for
the reason and the old man, TO all
appearances with the greatest dejec-
ton and regret said that he was
afraid he would never get another
wife.
Later he went to the Office of real
estate broker in Frederick and made
arrangements to purchase the little
farm on which he resides near Park
Mills, this county. The land belongs
to a neighbor who has offered it to
him at very reasonable price and
the old war veteran says that if he
can raise the money he Will bay the
little spot and live his last days there
He frightened up considerably in
telling of his plans for the future and
seemed really glad that he had been
unsuccessful in his quest for wife
through the advertising columns OF
The North American.
The old mans queer turn of phil
osophy came to his rescue and he in
formed the reporter that you can
only die once, anyhow, and you al.
ways live until you die
He still treasures the many letters
that he received from women from
all parts of the United States Who
replied to his quest for wife. Penn
sylvania, Maryland, the District of
' Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia,
Missouri, Delaware, New Jersey, far
Roff Michigan, New York, Massachus-
etts and Vermont are some of the
Estates from which woman have writ
ten to him and he says that he still
enjoys to get out the hundred or more
letters and have someone read them
to him.
He no longer secretes any of the
letters and the information that they
contain is open to the general public
of Park Mills about score in num-
Der. Every person, able to read, has
read and re-read Mr. Trout's letters
and he doesn't mind in the least,
Although the first notice of his will
ingness to receive advances toward
matrimony appeared more than two
months ago the old man still receives
letter or two.
Mr.. Trout had several offers from
his daughters to settle down with
hem but the old man refused them
and chooses TO live out his life in the
little home in which he has passed
more than three-score years.
