treasure. not SO much because we need
il to protect an unthatched poll from
the cold as because it represents tacit
recognition of our standing as con-
noisseur, with the accent on the con.
achieved fame. not to say notoriety, il
many ways. One holds the pole against
the field as 4 writer OF pungent poiti-
cal editorials: another has achieved
sibilities; another never permits his
editorial duties 10 interfere with his
out-of-doors activities during the fish

Our personal claim is that we are the
only Maine editor who ever received
from a loyal reader a gift of a pink
flannel nightcap. with long streamers OF
the same material. to be tied in cum

Maine editor is prepared to challenge
this claim he should do SO now or for

Pensions For COnfedsra!es.

There is no doubt about the
fact that the Confederate soldiers
in this country are entitled to a
share in the benefits of the Fed
efal Pension Bureau. Sentiment
aside, the truth remains that they
have been paying their tributes
to the pension fund during all, the
days since the war and receiving
nothing back. The situation was
correctly presented by Congress-
man Upshaw, of Georgia, when
he introduced a bill to extend
pension benefits to Confederate
veterans or their widows, but the
Upshaw movement would have
stood better chance if the meas
ure' had been introduced by any
one of the leading Republican"
members he says have assured
him of their support. The trou-
BILE with all previous Confederate
pension movements in Congress
has been initiative by a Southern
| member. If the friends of the
movement should make up their
minds to bide the time when a
Northern Republican will rise up
to lead the way, then expectant
beneficiaries might pri C k up
