frees of Mrs. Nation.
In the Smasher's Mail Mrs.
Carrie Nation sends up this
lament:
"Some of my friends wonder
why I stay east. I stayed in
Kansas. I took the cowhide in
Kansas. I suffered the lies
told on me in Kansas. I paid
my lawyer in Kansas. I stayed
in the filthy, quarantined jail
with the ravings of the maniac
and the cigarette smokers, and
have now inflammation of the
bronchi which has deprived me
of my voice. I struggled with
poverty beside, and the last
time I was in jail in Topeka I
did not have means enough to
buy food. I lived almost ex
clusively the eighteen days on
and milk, and
people I owed were at the win
dow almost making me wild
with duns for money which I
owed them. I have been robbed
and slandered there, and while
in jail the last time the man
whom I cooked aDd washed for
and partially supported for
twenty-five years sued me for a
divorce."
It is certainly a sad story,
and it could have all been
avoided if Mrs. Nation had con
tinued to 6tay at home and
cock, and, if need be, to- wash.
The wonder is that she b still
at large.

The Cupia Special.
Nearly every famous train in
the country has a nickname
which in the majority of in
stances more adequately de
scribes the train that does its
official name. This is particu
larly true of a train that comes
into one of the sheds at Jersey
City, and is perhaps favored
more by the station porters
than any of the other trains
that discharge passengers there.
To the trainmasters and super
intendents down South it is
known as "Train No. 36" and
on the time tables it is called
the "United States Fast Mail,"
but to every person in the sec
tion of country through which
it runs and to many travelers
it is "The Cupid Special."
The train gets its name from
the couples it carries. It sel
dom comes up i'rom the South
without bringing from two to
six brides and grooms and its
dining and sleeping car con
ductors and others of the train
crew are under specific orders
to sliow particular attention and
grant all | o-sible favors to the
temporarily unbalanced people
it carries.—New York Post.

"Prove all things; holdfast that which is good."
What's Under It?
The pension lists of a grate
ful Republic would furnish
many interesting stories if all
were known. A not at all bad
one is that created by Sally
Ann White the details of which
came to light at the last United
State# Court held in this city.
Sally Anu White of the col
ored race, had a husband who
went to be a soldier some thirty
odd Years ago. Presumably he
fought somewhere or other and
supposed he died in the act.
At any rate by the year 1894
Sally Ann White put in a claim
for a pension as a "widder
lady." The peusion was al
lowed and as there was a big
accumulation of back pay Sally
Ann received a spot cash sum
of $2,000. This was big money
to her. Such a sum could not
be spent in a life time and in
order to live up to such an in
come, for there was a monthly
pension also, Sally Ann pro
ceeded to indulge. Such little
items as Iluyler's candy, at 80
cents a pound were not uncom
mon to the widow. More en
during things were also bought,
however, for a small house and
a store on Pasteur street be
came her property. Prosperity
was no delusive shadow to Sally
Ann White.
The year 1901 was a poor one
for peusion drawers who could
not read their title clear. It
was unfortunate but it was a
fact that one White, a colored
volunteer, applied for a pension
from Uucle Sam and a watch
ful government discovered that
he was none other than the
White for whom consolation in
monthly installments was al
ready being furnished to a sad
ly bereft widow. White turned
up only recently and the case
came up at the last court.
Judge Purnell appointed a re
ceiver and the receiver has
taken charge of the little house
and store on Pasteur street,
along with whatever tangible
assets of government bounty
were seizable.
Ail of the pension money did
not go into houses and lots and
Iluyler's candy. A neat little
sum wont into a marble monu
ment at the cemetery, to cover
the mortal remains of a mourn
ed but consolated victim of war.
As White is still in the body it
appears that some one else has
been honored. Perhaps a
"dummy" was employed to fill
the bill or perhaps it was an
other "mistaken indentity"
case. Anyway the living White
refused to acknowledge that he
was buried under that stone.
It is quite an interesting specu
lation.—New Berne Journal.

About the President's Message.
We take the following editor
ial from the Lumberton Robf
sonian, which gives a brief out
line of the President's message :
"The president's message is
perhaps a disappointment to
many in that it lacks the con
[ciscncss und compactness which
was expeced. It is a docu
ment of about twenty-five thou
sand words covering the more
important questions which arc
at pre ent occupying the pubiic
miagt. These are of course con-
frv'm a Republican view
point but partisanship is not
proifiiiiently noticeable and
there appears an evident desire
to make-the welfare of the coun
try of paramount importance,
on the whole the paper is broad
indeed and worthy of the great
head of a great people.
"In the opening paragraphs
he reviews the calamitous occur
rence which elevates him to the
presidency, paya a glowing trib
ute to the murdered president,
and recommends vesting the
Federal courts with jurisdiction
over assassins or would-be-as
sassins of the president or his
constitutional successor. An
archy, he further says, should
be a crime against international
law and should be so declared
by treaties among civiiized pow
ers.
"lie urges extreme caution
in the enactment o? such legisla
tion as would in any way inter
fere with corporate capital ou
the ground that they are the
natural outgrowth of present
industrial conditions, and that
combination and concentration
of capital in great industrial
enterprises should not be pro
hibited, but supervised and con
trolled within reasonable limits.
"Next in importance to our
farming interests he considers
the welfare of the wage-earning
class which is today enjoying
the highest benefits known in
the history of this country, and
far surpassing that of any other.
To maintain this condition he
considers necessary the opera
tion of tariff' laws, the exclusion
of Chinese and others represent
ing low standards of living and
to this end advises enactment
of wise immigration laws.
"Briefly, he indicates that
any general interference with
our present protective system
would be dangerous to the sta
bility of our present industrial
prosperity. Hence, we should
first thoroughly protect our
home interests and then secure
all reciprocity treaties. He
calls attention of the Senate to
the reciprocity treaties placed
before it by President McKinley
and asks their action theron.
"Congress is recommended to
take such action as will restore
the American marine on the
grounds that it is necessary in
order to enable us to meet the
competition of the ships of oth
er countries which are not only
subsided but are more cheaply
built than our own, and to give
a marine which would compare
favorably with those of other
nations.
"The money question he
thinks is not only disposed of
but the present system thor
oughly endorsed as judicious
by our present prosperity.
"In regard to the law regula
ting inter-State commerce sucli
enactment should be made a*
would empower the commission
to equalize freight rates and
prevent discrimination by re
bates aud similar devices. Ou:-
policy in Hawaii should be
to develop its agricultural inter
ests on the same plan as our
own and in Porto Rico ws have
done all that is needful except
enacting laws for public lands,
which is recommended. He
predicts that before the close of
the present session of Congress
Cuba will have made such pro
gress in affairs of government
that she will no longer need our
care and will begin her career
as an independent government.
In the Philippines our duty is
not yet accomplished and the
danger which seems greater is
that we may set up for them a
government which they are in
capable of sustaining. For the
development of the country
franchises are recommended, as
is a cable connecting Hawaii
and the Philippines which shall
be continued to points in Asia
The building of th° isthmian
canal he considers of vital im
portance to our commercial pro
gress .
"In conclusion he avows the
purpose of the American people
to maintain the Monroe Doc
trine and advices the prompt
enlargement of our navy as the
only means by which this can
be accomplished. Our duties to
our volunteer soldiery, to the
