To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
like your valuable paper very much; hail
Z with joy IS it comes every week; | like the
bold and fearless stand It takes for the soldier;
/ hope you will keep on firing into the ranks
Of the soldiers enemy; 1 win for one try TO
help to support the battery; I hope that every
eK-soldier will step to the front and help or the
warfare until we get our rights as soldiers and
be recognized as defenders Of our glorious old
fag. The stay-at-home sitizen thinks, since
the country was saved, that the defenders Of
the soil they tread upon have TO right to ask
or expect more, but there are thousands that
money will not begin to rernunerate for loss of
health and loss of limbs in saving the country
for these old croakers. They DO not realize
that thousands of u5 left comfortable home,
and many good business that brought them
in from $50 to $3.50 per month for the small
sum Of $l3 per month and all the hardships of
camp and field and prison pens and the risk Of
life aud limb
Mr. Editor there Is one class of pensioners
that our Congressman in passing the Arrears
act seemed to overlook, and still seem to over
LOOK, and that class is those that received their
pension through q special act Of Congress. Your
humble servant is one of that ca9s. Why are
wa not entitled to the arrears as much as any
other ponsioner? VIII any one undertake to
tell! We need it Just as much IS any one. !
nope You viii take up this subject and veutilato
it through your valuable paper.
Yours, in F., c. and L.,

WHAT 4 LITTLE GIRL CAN DO.
To the Editor NATIONAL tribune:
My pa told me the other day that ] could
20 out and see how many Subscribers [ could get
for your paper. In little while I got SIX
names, and the money, too. Pa said | was
chip off the old block. J suppose he meant be
cause l had so much perseverance, and was
brave enough to write to an editor. But
don't think / am half so brave as pa was to go
through the war, and stand up before guns
loaded with ball to be shot at, do you? l don't
think there IS half the danger in writing to ali
editor. DO You? Now, VIII give the names
Of these subscribers, and I want you to send the
papers right along for they want to read their
own papers. After pa reads his papers, he lends
them, and sends them off by mail to other SOL
dicr5, to let them see what a good friend THE
IRIBUTE is to them, and maybe they viii take
it. almost forgot to give their names. Here
they are: James z. HARRISON, III. S. Collins,
Or. $. B. Mcclure VIM. Spraker, J. A. Frieland,
VIM. c, Bockoyen. The last one is my pa. lis
time is not out yet. He is taking the paper
now. Mr. Mcclure is doctor, but he is none
the worse for that. Some say he is q good doc
tor. Pa IS Z blaeksnith but he is none the
worse for that. Some say that he is good
blacksmith. He was lieutenant in the Sixty
fJttr5h New York volunteers. Pa says maybe
l VIII get present for these subscribers of
book or something, and maybe I shall try to
get more subscribers. I am little girl eleven
years old. l like to read TIE tribune I |
like to read the stories. l nearly forgot to say
where to send the papers to. want you to
