SCHELL, SteeleJBuildiug, , Xenia, Ohio PATHOSANDDOTAT CHRISTMAS TIME id SOLDIERS’ HOMES C im nm iAS is as pathetic as its is .jorcis to juuuy of the o'q rctcmus who, by fatv ai.d (‘ircumstau«?a, are f<wed to dpjK'iul entirely upon the gen* erosity of their comrades and their friends who have prospered since" the war. There are no pensions foe these old solillern except the -meager Bums they grt from the various states, Soule of the veterans are dependent on these IsjfiiguilH-ifnt fttudB to beep them out of the pooihouse., The fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg was celebrated last July, The twenty-year-old boy of this battle Is now a.gray haired veteran of seventy, The old soldiers are crossing the great-divide by the score, and be­ fore many yearn have passed there wilt be few left, , , About twenty years ago It was dis­ covered that many of the bruvest sol­ diers o f the war were drifting to the pndrhonses because there, was nowhere else for them f» go and bemuse tliplr wounds' kept ttie.M from work. Many had no,relatives, and the relatives of others were too poor tp support the old soldiers. Iu many cases the veter­ ans declined to accept aims. The movement to take cafe o f these men resulted in Confederate homes iuiall of the southern states, and .descendants of the men who wore the gray now spend about SdfiOO.ODt) annually In pensions and in the support of various homes, Christmas is a happy reality In these j institutions Although, owing to tbje. slender incomes, the- homes have to ( run on the most modest basis, there- is no skimping at Christmas time. From 1 the neighborhood around come tur-. keys and chickens and pies and biscuits'' and fruit and cakes mid tobneca In plenty—everything; except wines ami liquors, .for the rules against alcohol t In these Institutions *ai& pnrtlintarly, strict. And on Christmas day the vela-; tlvcs and, friends lintt acquaintances crowd to the homes with all sorts of presents ami with good wishes for the f old fellows, who recall their Gght fo r ; the lost cause with pride in what they did atld with satisfaction for the pres­ ervation of tip* Onion," ■ , You’will hew some one say,* ’‘That, old fellow peer there. With one Oye and one teg, was the moat brilliant young man in our town. u IIObelonged. to the richest fatally tn the -county,.; But the war took tfse wealth, and he tost the eye and.the leg In the Wll-S denies*, and a bullet In hia he^d rujj- j ed his mind for life.

I left my family today { to come out here and bring a bos: of.; cigars and talk a little over old tlmca to let him kiiow that'he la uot entire­ ly forgotten,'* The best thing about It is that the old fellows are always disposed to do‘ full juslice to the offerings of tlip dny, and to lonk-tlielr best In their gray uni­ forms, nud to tell tUelr choicest stories, and to eat the most, l POSTAL REGULATIONS. Mnn.Y articles of merchandise are absolutely prohibited transmission in the malls, therefore Inquire before mailing. Now that- the holidays are here the mall me flooded with Christ mas presents, going to and coming from all parts of the world. The average person knows little ‘about the postal laws and regulations of this country and consequently is apt to make a mistake. Bo you know that you cannot mall tobacco In any form to a friend In France or tlial you cannot mall patent medicine to n friend In Hungary. If yon have one there? The postal laws of this eattn-, try prohibit the mailing to any foreign country of matter liable to decomposi­ tion. such as confectionery or confec­ tions. Bid you know that, with few exceptions, yon cannot mail to foreign Countries (Canada excepted? any pack­ et or letter containing gold or silver snbstances, Jewelry or precious art! cles? It Is true. Nor cut? yon-send any packet or letter containing articles liable to customs duty Iu the countries addressed. That does not apply to Canada or Mexico or to article* for­ warded by parcel post, Tim postal laws prohibit the patting of Intoxicat­ ing liquors (ardent vinous, spirituous or malt? In the mails. If you try to send to a friend in some distant city s small flask of fine whisky Its destina­ tion will be Washington—the dead let­ ter office. One would be surprised at the tfe ttmndous number of violations of the postal laws and regulations because of the Ignorance of the average person using the malls. Nearly every pack­ age that goes through the malts at this 1 time of the year Is opened by the postoffice department. Borne persons are accustomed to Betiding ft paoknge purporting to contain nothing but pU«- tographs through the malls. When those packages have been opened in the postoffiees some of them have been found to contain writing, handker­ chiefs or jewelry. Which Is a violation' of the postal law* and subject to tt flue. 8 i«ti(dici. Madge-Were you pleased with your Christinas presents?
