One of our pensioners has a soft snap
for the next eight or nine months; he
has sold his horse, buggy and harness,
and boards it out. This will enable
him to lay up all his pension of twelve
dollars per month. He says he is not
afraid of his pension being taken away,
because they know at Washington that
he is not able to work.
Orra brown was nOtl1leu some I'VE
months ag" that his pension was re-
duced from $l2 TO IS, pending more
evidence in regard To disability. He
wrote the department that he could not
furnish the required proof; since then
he had heard nothing from his claim.

surprised to see his name in the list of
renewal of pension. Notwithstanding
his suspension, he has drawn his Sl2
per month right along Queer animals
in the pension office.
