O. tng or subsequently to the Civil War, _____ and this law is the Act of Congress ap. proved February 27, 1902, (expiring tqtst OTT April 27, 1906) which authorizes the -L^-L> Quartermaster General of the Army to investigate and pay claims of paroled TTT? v f! ex-Con federate soldiers for their own I " army .horses, mules and equipment taken from them after the surrender r 10,1904 by Fedrral troops acting or pregum_ ably acting imder order-. For the investigation and adjustHies. raent of these claims, certain regula? nnn on ti0D9 were promulgated by the Quarter 2o'l"5 11 Iuaster General and approved by the -ioVso on Secretary of War.

A PAIR OF 1USCALS. | ;two men who are responsible^ for lots of woe. | Tho Artist Who Drawn the Pictures on the Comic Valentines and tlio Harvard Grad- ' nato Who Writes the Poetry?Millions r of Penny Viliflera. t Two mon aro responsible for tho cntiro c crop of couiio valentines which spread bit- 1 ' terness and woo throughout our fair land v once a your at just ahout this tinio. One of them is a Harvard graduate. IIo perpotratos the verso. Tho othct is nn artist who learned to wield his brush with a far nobler aim In viow. It is well that thero aro two of thorn, for they divide the awful responsibility. Tho poet's name is Edward "Rigney. Tho artist is ono Edgars. They both live in Brooklyn. A Now York man might think that was punishment enough for thom. Let us hope that tho recording angel will I think so. too. for they havo a lot to answer for. Let us just do a littlo figuring on the J subjcct. There aro 20,000,000 "comics" t printed and circulated every year. Suppose only 15,000,000of those are purchased \ and sent. If only two-thirds of tho victims j relieved their lacorated feelings by the use of profanity?we will say that tho other 6,000,000 aro women and professing Christians?that would leave 10,000,000 who h would fracluro tho second commandment. Each man would, wo will say, uso on an average of flvo bad words, some beginning with a big D and others best represented ' by dashes, thus . That would < give a total of 50,000,000 profane words. < Now these two mou havo been at this < business for about 15 years, and if tho < ' ? - * 1 l -1 J wram 01 me people or mo jiuliu ui Jrruyr \ dcnco docs not striko them down they may < continuo In their evil doing for 10 years < more, a total of 25 years. Thus in 25 years < they will have beon tho indirect producers of 1,250,000,000 profano words, or enough to make 10,000 good sized volumes. What an awful responsibility to contemplate I But these men don't look at it in that war. They seem to think that the enjoymont of good salaries in this life is of far moro importance than a bright hereafter. Both of them perhaps hopo that thoir' work on sentimental lines will offset the other. Mr. Edgars not only draws the hid TOE SCORCHER?BOUND TO BE POPULAR. i ecus facos of tho "comics," but he is an Bdopt in painting pink Cupids, red hearts ?always arrow pierced?and dainty forget1515no nf flm vfillov nnd nfchm" flo ULiuuuca, aaxjvo v* v?v M-'V,, ? ? ? ral decorations. j Artist Edgars Is a man of about 30, but for 14 years ho has boon doing this sort of work. Consequently ho has attaineda wonderful dexterity with the brush. IIo can tal>o a plain pieco of cardboard or celluloid, and with a few dabs of his brush mako it blossom liko a fairy garden. He takes a dainty satin covered card, spreads the colors around on it recklessly for a minute, and, behold! ho has produced something to delight the heart of some protty maiden. j In somo respccts Mr. Edgars is to bo envied. Ho has moro facilities for "gotting even" than any other man on earth. When tho average man is insulted by an insolent street car conductor, snubbed by a sauoy dry goods clerk or imposed upon by | a butcher, baker or candlestick maker, he can only address a littlo fleeting, cvanes- j cent profanity .at the individual offender. Not so Mr. Edgars. Ho just keeps quiet, ' smiles in a bland, self satisfied way, goes 1 to his den and draws a picturo of the man or woman, and has a fow hundred thou Band of tliem strucK oil. xnus uuus uu wroak his vongeanco not on one poreon alone, but on all of that kidnoy. If he Is angry, ho can, by a few strokes of his brush, iusult about 500,000 total stran-; gcra. What czar or sultan could do more? And Mr. Rigncy helps him oat. He' takes tho nightmare skotches and wrltos verses for them?vorscs which tip the ar-; row with gall and wormwood, which mako tho victim rant and tear and say things. | But there Is a compensating side to all; this. Thero are 70,000,000 souls of us in , Uncle Sam's domain, and we probably all; know at least half a dozen persons on whom we would like to inflict a oomlo. /fa i \ THE OLD MAID?ALWATS SELLS WELL. But wo don't. No, only about 20,000,000 of us indulgo in this sort of thing, and there is a whole lot of comfort for the humanitarians in that. Then t hero arc lots of peoplo who 6end comics, not out of puro malice, but bo- cause they think it is funny. It may bo? to the sender. Evor since last Valentine's day the art- ? 1st and the poot have been at work on this < year's vintage. Each season offers newsubjects for their satirical pen and brush, * Bicycle riders, of course, have como in i for a good sharo of their attention. There 1 is tho bloomer girl.
