listed for nine months Sept. . 1862, aud
who was discharged Sept. 2, 1868. ARsWer.

CS L., Palestine, Ore.--Please answer Trough
your columns the following question: State
ment: widow of veteran draws pension
on account of the death of her husband has
one child under 16 years of age who also draws
pension of s. month. The widow remarries,
but still draws S. 4 month pension, and claims
that it is for the care of the child. Question:
Does the Government pay IS, or any sum, for
care of minor children of veteranp AnSuer
Your "Statement" is wholly Inaccurate as
prior to remarriage the child drew no pension.
The So, which you enormously say the child
drew, was part Of the widows pension, being
an increase thereto by virtue of the act Of July
%. 1866. Up to date of remarriage all the pen.
sion belongs to the widow. After remarriage
the widow does not draw pension in her own
right. as her title thereto is forfeited by re-
marriage; but she may, if appointed guardian
Of the minor child by q court of competent
jurisdiction, file claim guardian of the said
minor, and upon the allowance of such claim
She as guardian, will receive the same amount
per month ($8 plus $2) that she received as
widow. but the said pension of $40 a month is
exclusively for the benefit of the child, and eau
be spent only as directed by the court appoint
ing her, which court will require at stated
times the rendition of detailed statements as to
the disposition of the pension money. Other
than rs herein set forth the Government does
not provide for the minor of a veteran. with
the exception that if the widow had been pen.
stoned under the old law at sig and So, then.
as guardian, she would receive the same, in
stead of So and 81, rs in the case in point.

To have been entitled TO the three months

PATRIOTISM.

PART IV.-Conclusion.

A.
Plato, in his Republic" defines education
as THAT training which is given by suitable
habits to the first instinct Of virtue in chill
dren."
Yes; children may not fully understand the
meaning OF our National emblem aud what it
represents but we follow the well-known
psychologic law Of habit when we teach them
10 reverence their seheolhouse, the flag. and its
defenders. IL is the training given by habit
10 the fist instinct OF that virtue, patriotism, in
the child that develops il into the true citizen.
Every song sung by those young lips, every
talk heard by their ears. every raising Of the
Starry Banner of Freedom" seen by their
eyes-all these seemingly Insignificant acts
deepen the grooves of their sense hbers and
forge another link in the chain of habit that
will become the stronger when they realize the
full import of their Government 10 themselves
aud the world.
Realizing this, loyal teacher. do not weary in
your efforts 10 teach lessons Of patriotism in the
full spirit Of this scientific age.
Again, by such organizations as the Loyal
Home Workers do we instruct children of
larger growth in the principles Of practical
patriotism. What noble pledge is ours
To safely guard our free institutions and TO
disseminate a knowledge of their great under
lying principles in the community in which
We live, and stand by our country and our flag
in all times Of peril" That is no idle fancy,
but practical patriotism.
BY following out faithfully the principles of
our Order. fellow Loyal Home Workers, by
emulating the example of the Parkhursts and
Ro0sevelts as citizens, and reverencing the pat
riOtism of Lincoln. we shall perpetuate our
free institutions aud give TO our cOuutrymen
stronger faith in Republican Government aud
in the general integrity of human nature.

Two of LincoIn's Kind Acts.
December Cent,,rHi

Among the wounded Bull Run prisoners
returning from Richmond after many weary
months in Libby was lad named VIII Up
ham, of the I'd Wis. This boy found his way
into the presence of Lincoln, who sympathet-
ically drew from Elm the story of his adven-
tures in battle and i'll prison, and sent him
away with an appointment to West Point,
from which Academy Upham was sUbse-
quently graduated with hOnOrs. Recently
this protege of Lincoln's was chosen Governor
of Wisconsin. One day Lincoln was found
counting over and dividing into parcels u
small sum of greenbacks for negro messenger
in the Treasury Department who was ia hos
pitaI with the smallpox, unable TO sign the
roll and draw his pay. The President OF the
United States cheerfully undertook to cut the
Gordian knot of red tape, procure the poor
mans wages, and make the desired dispose
ton thereof.
