dian wars and 1li2 of the Mexican war latter conflict still survive. The youngest of them are about S6 years of age.
 There are S2a.200 civil war pensioners of all kinds. It is estimated that 2,2i2.s65 men were in the army and navy of that period. So that after half a century the number of possible pensioners has only been depleted two-thirds. This is be- cause of the young widows again. The pension rolls show that only about 462,- 3l9 of the actual fighters survive.

PUBLISHER BUYS
 A VOTE; STUNG.
Pays 50 Cents to Help Student" and Finds He Has Subscribed
 to Magazine

A clean cut well groomed young man, whose appearance was unmistakably that of a college student, yesterday entered the office of C. l.. Turner, magazine pub fisher, at No. 2S6 Fifth avenue, says the New ork Herald.
 He breezed by the naughty office boy and stepped jauntily into the inner sane tum. Taking a blank from his pocket, he placed it on the desk near MT. Turner 3 right hand.
 I'm a college student, MT. Turner, working my way through" he said. My name is enrolled in contest which, if win, will mean hundreds of dollars to me and will help me materially in my ef- forts to complete the course"
 Mr. Turner was about to say something about the young mans nerve being enough to carry him through anything, bur the caller held up his hand in an imperious manner.
 Now l want you to vote for me. 1 know you will help me that much. Please sign your name to this blank, which will be one more vote to my credit"
 He dipped the pen in the ink and showed in into MT. Turner's fingers.
 Fifty cents now, please" he said when he had the signed blank safely stored away in his pocket
 Fifty cents for what?" asked the pub fisher in amazement.
 Why, 50 cents to pay for a three months subscription to the Blank mag azine. You just signed for it
 T gave the 50 cents to him, as it was the neatest 'holdup I have ever seen,'' said the publisher after the caller had gone. That younug man got 20 votes at 50 cents each in this building in less than half an hour. He was taking sub scriptions to magazine all right, but the publication isn't worth 10 cents 9 year to me or to any other person in this building. He told me that he receives half of each collection and that he makes about $l00 a week on an average. I don t know whether he goes to college, but I doubt that a college education would be necessary in his case.'

Widows of Veterans of 1872

Every time the federal commissioner of pensions makes his annual report wonder is expressed at the number of surviving benefiiciaries of wars of long ago, says the New York Sun For instance, the last report of the commissioner shows that there were still living 19 widows of men who fought in the war of 1872.
 At first thought it seems hardly credible that the government should be paying pensions to people as the result of service done the country In a conflict that took place over 100 years ago. Nevertheless the records are authentic.
 Compilers of vital statistics have worked on the 199 widows of 1872 veterans problem and they point out that the number of them need not strain credulty very much To illustrate: , n
 There were young men of IS who par ticipated in the battles fought in 1872 on sea and land. If they lived to the hale old age of S5 it would be nothing uncom- mon, especially for out of doors men of

 From this it may readily be conjectured that Uncle Sam may have on his pension pay roll widows of the fighters of 1872 up to the year 1883, and even then the widows will not have attained an unludy old age. Thus the government would be paying pensions connected with a war that oc- cured nearly century and quarter be- fore.

fey cited many passages in the various
plays, which are paraphrases of words

In illustrating his comparisons. the
speaker gave some OF the great scenes,

pleasing to his audience and made them
agree that Shakespeare must have
