These we're not all "wars," but United
States troops were called out, served and
somebody got hurt by lead, arrow or
miasma, aud about two tons OF cases
claiming or receiving pensions crowd the
shelves and drawers Of the two rooms oc.
Cupied by the old war and navy. Aside
from these, every division representing
claims from different sections Of the Union
has hundreds Of pounds Of paper showing
that q man suffered somewhere and at
some period for Uncle Sam. Hence,
Uncle Sam, as an appreCiative friend, takes
care Of his protectors to the tune OF mil
lions Of money.
