For once our contemporary spoke very

workingmen earn in week row, under

4 WOULD.BE PENSIONER.

At a club dinner In New York re-
Gently, says E. Y. Smalley, in the
Century for July, an examining
surgeon related the following incl
dent. showing how the arrears act
developed pensioners out OF sound
and undeservlng men. During the
war he was surgeon Of an infantry
regiment. When the regiment first
went into battle he observed, sit
ting behind big tree, at a safe dis
tance from the fighting line, the
captain of one of the companies.
"What are you doing here, cap
tain?" asked the doctor.
"I'm not feeling well, replied the
officer, in dolefuI voice.
The surgeon was too busy looking
after the wounded to stop and in
quire as to his complaint. A few
weeks later the regiment again got
under fire, and the surgeon found
the same captain skulking behind
barn.
"Hello sick again?''he exclaimed.
"Well. the fact is, doctor, I'm not
exactly sick. 1 may as we'll own up
that I'm coward. There's no help
for it. It must be constitutional.
Now, doctor, what's the use of my
staying in the army? Won't you
help ne get discharge ?"
The surgeon thought he was doing
the country service when, a few
days afterward, he recommended
that the man be discharged on the
ground Of general disa bility. He
heard nothing of the captain until
sixteen years later, when he re-
ceived letter from the Pension Of
ice informing him that Captain
Blank had applied for a
pension from the date of
his muster-out, and that as
he, as surgeon of the regiment, had
certified to the disability, would he
kindly inform the governmen as to
the nature Of the disease from which
the officer suffered? The surgeon
replied that the captains complaint
was chronic and incurable coward
ice, not contracted in the line Of his
duty, but constitutional. The cap
taln's name did not 60 upon the
roll, and his plan for getting some
four thousand dollars for arrears
and twenty dollars a month for the
rest of his life came to grief. How
many schemes-no less dishonest
nave succeeded through the COM
Dlaisance OF examining Surgeons,
ess honorable than the narrator of
his incident, could only be ascer-
aimed by thorough overhauling of
he whole pension list and resex-
of the entire army of
pensioners.
