PERTINENT POINTS IN THE PANTASCOPE OF
PASSING EVENTS PARAGRAPH
CALLY PORTRAY
By 'Optmo''

The old patriarch. Job, for the years of his life,
since his death the passing have not until
recently, brought forth who could successful
ly dispute the title.
In Missouri county there recently NOM
mated for sheriff man who had run for Office for
thirty. six years. He had declared he would be
candidate as long he lived and if be did not sue
coed, he would leave codici his will instructng
his to for the Office until elected.
For patience, Missouri carries away first prize
Nebraska receives honorable mention.
mWmMw
1t has been said, that To him that hath shall
be gwen" In substantiation of which we offer as
evidence the of who died recently in St.
Louis, leaving fortune of ST. 900 90. This man
until the day of his death was drawing regularly
from the Government pension of S25 a month.
To some, sL5 month would mean the supply.
ing of necessities, to muti-mllonalre it is scant
cigar money.
In contrast to the above cite the case of
man in New York City, also Civil War veteran,
who, although gaining but precarlous livelihood at
ragpickng, refused pension on the ground that
he was capable of earning his living.
MMNMm
1t has been further said-"Cast thy bread upon
the waters and after many days it shall return unto
YOU"
One case in evidence, is that of Billy Sunday
using a 5000 dollar thanks offering, which he re-
ceved recently at Ocean Grove. to purchase for an
aged preacher who, years ago. had been his mentor,
home.
The sad feature of each of the two Quebec
bridge disasters the sacrifice of human life. But
whether the wreck be of things mechanical or
beings human, all too often innocent persons are
made to suffer for the carelessness. negligence or
premeditated evil CT who could have
brought instead joy and happiness.
Comparatively few human barques have been
drawn down into the maelstrom of folly in the sea
of life that other and innocent persons have not
been perilously swirled by the suction of his des-
cent and their lives darkened by the noxous fog of
his disgrace.
Thus it is, that if weak span in the human
structure gives way and becomes submerged in the
seethiug turbid waters of trouble, mothers eyes
are dimmed with tears, fathers head bowed low in
grief wife is left broken-hearted and children are
made to mourn the loss of parent who yet lives
And it is the knowledge of these sufferngs of
the innocent that inhicts upon the sensitive soul a
more exquisite punishment than ever was visited
upon a malefactor under the drastic punitive
system of the Dark Ages.

ITALIANS PRESSING
WITHIN FOURTEEN
MILES OF TRIESTE
Correspondent Describes the
Scene of Fighting Along
Austrian Border
By John II. Hearley.

With the Italian Army Near Goritz,
Aug. 25.-General Cadorna has pressed
his lines to within IA miles of Trieste
and is gradually making progress in the
difficult mountain country where the
Austrians are clinging to their posi-.
tions with the utmost tenacity.
In the past "a hours have Travelled
the Carso war zone south of Foritz as
far as Monfalcone. Southeast of the
town the Italians have taken the Aus.
trian second line trenches and at some
places have penetrated the enemy IS
third line. For several days there has
been no let up in the terrific hail Of
shells in this sector.
Monfalcone, like other villages of
Carso, has been leveled by artillery fire.
Near the city, 10000 ton trans.Atlan.
tic steamer which was designed for SER
vice between New York and Austrian
ports and three torpedo boats, half COM
pleted, were blown to pieces.
The Carso plateau is potted with
great she'll craters. Ruined Austrian
trenches, wire entanglements, corpses
of humans and horses are everywhere.
Great fragments of rock, torn from
their bases by the artillerying that pre-
ceded the capture of the barren peaks
of Monte San Michele and San Martino,
lie across shell craters filled with bod.
les, creating great tombs.
The opposing lines are so close togeth.
or on the Carso plateau that the men
must be constantly on guard during the
day mme to avoid snipers' bullets.
