"Veterans of Industry." A pretty
phrase and prettily employed. It Is
what tho Danes call tho old people of
good record who are forced to apply to
tho authorities for help. No shame at
taches to such application; no Ignoble
deH'iidenco, corroidvo of self-respect,
attends tho llfo which follows. Huch

government pensioner.
Dreadful sturles are told about tho
