-Dear Doctor: When our wllle were

little prayer at the grave. Please al
low no one to eee us after we are dead
except the one who Is oblts-ed to pre
pare us for the coffins. Give Ed the
beet. Do not disturb my hair or
clothes." ,
In better days they had entertained
extensively; their circle of friends was
larire. But when reverses cams they
withdrew more and mora from their
neighbor. They shrank from telllnf
the real condition of wretchedness Into
which they had sunk. They decided
that death was preferable to bearing
the humiliation of maklnr uch dis
closures. Wedding Garments Worn.
Out of th lTender-ecented chest
that had served her mother and grand
mother aa well, th silver-haired wo
man had taken her weddtng gown of
whit satin and lac and bad lain out
for ber husband th Ion black frock
coat and trousers he had worn.
Mrs. Crans left directions as to their
burial, requesting; that their bodies b
placed next to thoee of their two chil
dren who died years ago of diphtheria.
Two glasses that had contained car
bollc acid told clearly th manner of
their death. With their minds allv
with the memorlea loos- gone they ad
Justed th wedding garments that also
wer to serve as their shrouds.

WEST WANTS RECIPROCITY
rottnoe rT"m Ftrat T c
was from aa Insurgent House member,
while three other Insurgent member
of th delegation, on a Senator, voted
for th measure-
Wyomln. Ctah. North and Sooth
Dakota went solidly against reci
procity. Colorado. Missouri and Ne
vada voted eoll.llr for It. Th remain
ing state divided.
It may be contended that It la not
fair to Include Missouri. Oklahoma and
Texaa In th list of western agricul
tural states likely to be affected by
Canadian reciprocity, but the vehe
menr with which Senators and Repre
sentatives from thoee stata supported
or attacked th bill leave no doubt
that In their mind their states would
be affected on way or th other. Of
course. If these three state ar elim
inated, the majority would be against
reciprocity; It would stand II for and
tl against. But even eliminating th
three states named. It can not be con
tended, on the showing made, that Ca
nadian reciprocity waa fairly charged
wtth being a measure drawn at th ex
pense, of th Western farmer, for If
that wer true, the bill would not
have had tha support of 11 Senators
and Representatives out of a total of
13 votes from th remaining states.

PENSION BILL DEFENDED
SHERWOOD PLEADS FOB MEAS
URE BASED OX SERVICE.
Protest Entered Against "Girls Who
Marry Old Soldiers on
Last Legs."
WASHINGTON, July 29. An unquali
fied defense of his dollar-a-day pension
bill was made in the House today by
Representative Sherwood, of Ohio, as the
closing speech of a day set aside for
general debate on tha cotton tariff.
Instead of a pension bill based on age.
such as was enacted by the Republicans
in 1907, or as proposed by the Holloway
Anderson bill, the Ohio Representative
said that the only equitable bill from
the point of view of the men who really
saved the Union was a measure based on
service and sacrifice.
He ecathlngly arraigned General Kei
fer, of Ohio; General Hall, also of that
state, and John McElroy, editor of the
National Tribune, for opposing his bill.
Sherwood filed a protest againet the
pensioning of "Spring pullets," whom he
explained were "girls who marry old sol
diers on their last legs."
Representative Hull, of Tennessee, dis
cussed tariff revision and scored the
tariff board aa a political hypocrisy, de
signed to delay tariff revision. He said
that ex-President Roosevelt stayed the
tariff storm by throwing firebrands Into
the air so the. people would not notice
those falling on their heads.
He also said that with Republican

NEW BACHEL0E, though a high"
