Still on Pension List.

missioner of Pensions makes his
annual report, says the New
York Sun, wonder is expressed
at the number of surviving bene-
ficiaries of wars of long ago. For
instance, the last report of the
commissioner shows that there
were still living 1879 widows of
men who fought in the War of
1912.
At first thought it seems hardly
creditable that the Government
should be paying pensions to peo-
pie as the result of service done
the country in a conflict that
took place more than 100 years
ago. Nevertheless, the records
are authentic.
Compilers of vital statistics
have worked on the 1879 widows
of 1872 veterans problem, and
they point out that the number
of them need not strain creduIity
very much. To illustrate.
There were young men of
eighteen who participated in the
battles fought in 1872 on sea and
on land. If they lived to the hale
old age of eighty-fve it would be
nothing uncommon, especially
for out-of-doors men Of that
period. Now, suppose the year
before their death the octogena-
rians married young girls of
eighteen or twenty pears, which,
by the way many OF them had a
penchant for doing. These wild
ows would now not be over sixty.
From this it may readily be
conjectured that Uncle Sam have
on his pension payroll widows of
the fighters of 1872 up to the
year of 1888, and even then the
widows will not have attained an
unduly old age. Thus the Gov.
eminent would be paying pen
sions connected with war that
occurred nearly century and a
quarter before.
The pension reports show that
there are still on the list LOGS
beneficiaries of the Indian wars
and LAP of the Mexican War
of 1916. Men who actually
fought in the latter conflict still
survive. The youngest of them
are about eighty-six years of age.
There are $4,000 Civil War
pensioners of all kinds. It is
estimated that 2,211,365 men
were in the army and navy SER
vice of that period. So that after
half a century the number of
pensioners has only been de-
pleted two-thirds This is be-
cause of the young widow again.
The pension rolls show that only
1852, 379 of the actual fighters
survive.
The last actual fighter in the
War of 1872 died eight years ago.

The Late 5izhco Potter as Remark
ss;e Fcr lis Wit as for His Elo-
qucnce-AroaSishop Masee's
Humorous Appeal.

Probably one CT the prettiest con-
pliments ever paid to the fair sex was
that contained II the answer made by
Dr.. Potter, bishop Of New York, who
was once asked by lady why, in the
maay pictures end studies of angels
exhibited, the angels were always
depicted either as women or as young
men without boards or noustaches.
Everyone knows" replied the bishop,
"that women naturally inherit the
Kingdom of heaven, but men only get
in by very close shave"
This story is related by the Rev.
4. Selby Rerrey, vicar Of st. George,
Brentford, whose little volume, enti-
tied Attic Salt" provides many an
illustration Of the fact that wit and
appreciation of humor are not the
least prominent characteristics Of lead
ing divines. Ae tells a story Of the
late Dr. Creighton, who one received
book from a second-rate author, to
whom he replied by return Of post Il
thank you very much for forwarding
to me your book, and promise you
faithfully that will not lose any time
in reading it"
Another gem is the story once told
BY Dr. Gore, bishop Of Oxford, at his
own expense. In Birmingham" he
said, 4 once overheard two street
arabs discussing my appearance. At
! last one said to the other, I tell you
what, Bill-he's a Highlander what's

It was Archbishop Magee who, was
credited with the well-known saying
when waiter dropped some hot soup
down his neck: els there any layman
present who will kindly express my
feelings?" while the following Is one
Of the best stories told Of Archbishop
Temple. A lady Of position, sitting
near him at dinner, asked him, il a
most insinuatilg voice: my aunt was
prevented at the last moment from
sailing IN that ship which foundered
last week. Would you not, bishop,
call that a most providential inter

Temple said, in his characteristic,
blunt manner.
There is, by the way, an amusing
clerical story in Lady Southwarks S

Gold in the PHILIPPINES.

Rich placer gold is reported to have
been discovered on the site Of the old
church in the Boz cc Malaguit in
Paracale, Philippine. The vein is
supposed to be dire tly beneath the

grounds. Recently prospectors from a
dredging company entered the old
town and located rich gold fields on

An offer has been made by the COM

give the old town a new lease Of life.
Just what the outcome Of the offer
will be cannot be even guessed at, as

Finally Co.ac? Two, Believed to BE

crs Marvellous.

Columbia gardens, But s pleasure
park, las added to it's geological de
2a7tment two mountain sheep, be
!iered to be the cn]y specimens in
captivity. The mour: lain sheep are the
wisest, wariest and widest animals
that inhabit the cragged ranges, and
few of this species have been cap
tured alive.
An interesting story is told Of the
capture, for it was not done in a day.
Tor three days and three nights, with.
out sleep and with rests that were but
sporadic, N. H. Pearl and W. ]. Cava'
naugh trailed their quarry. This was
the end of a three weeks chase. AT
last they caught these widest Of wild
things. They are rams, little more
than two weeks old, yet able to out
run the average horse.
The men carried the kicking, squirm.
Ing, fighting lambs 20 miles over ridge
and through valley to MidVale, the
eastern entrance to the Glacier ma.
tional park, Mr.. Pearl says:
"The sheep were caught in the con-
tinental divide near Cutbank pass, at
an elevation Of between 5000 and g.
900 feet. They were about week old,
think. We had been at it three weeks
before we had our chance. These
mountain sheep are much wiser than
mountain goats.
"They know every rock in the hills,
and the slightest disturbance sends
them bounding off. Many times have
we looked at band of sheep at long
distance through field glasses. We
would lie perfectly still behind rocks,
but never was it more than few min
utes until some eve would spy US and
give warning.
"The little sheep can outrun a horse
almost at birth, and these two led US a
long and hard chase. They jumped on
places so high we thought they had
surely been killed, upon ledges where
a man could not have stood.
We never really caught up with
them. Finally, seeming to realize that
we would not be shaken off, they lost
their cunning and we caught them II
a trap in a cleft in the rocks. They
couldn't get out Of this place and we
had them"
"You have no idea from what
heights a mountain goat can leap,
said Ranger Cavanaugh. "Tve seen
them jump from the dizziest places
and alight with all four feet punched
