sort is that in which the late Assistant Secre-
tsry of the Interior. Judge Reynolds, decided
that q soldiers death from injuries resultant
on fall due to a wounded leg for which he
was psnsioued, should be regarded as coming
within the pension law. The soldier was sitting
on a porch at his home and i'll attempting 10
rise his wounded leg gave way and caused him
to fall of the porch, whereby he received tho
fatal injuries.

What Veterans Are Doing for the
Good of the Order

Commander VIM. d. Stauffcr, Of Pennsyl-

Commanders ia urging the necessity of re-
cruitinE the ranks OF the Grand Army. He
says IN last General Orders Bring into the
order All who wore the uniform OF blue from
1861 to 1865: scan the list of dropped mem
bers and explain 10 them how easy and mex
pensive II - for then To return to their former
places in the Post rooms | earnestly hope
that, inasmuch as Pennsylvania is honored by
having one of its comrades As Command r- in-
Chief. our great Department will report an
increase for the year. This can DO done by
a little hard work"

Rratfed by tho interest shown BY New York
comrades III the annual nspection. Assistant
Inspectors, he thinks. can render the Order
much good by encouraging weak Posts. AT n
recent inspection, where Commander Shaw
was UNEXPECTEDLY present. there were only
three members Of the Post absent
Commander Shaw believed that the Posts
should LOOK nfter the material wants tne
veterans, and IN last General Order appeals to
comrades to take action in the matter. He
says: feel that as Winter is approaching We
cannot bc too solicitous about the comfort and
needs of the worthy veterans who may require
assistance in ono way or another, to enable
them to secure and enjoy that measure of COM
fort that is eminentiy their due. If comrades
keep this in mind, the bonds of our Order will
be made stronger. and ali will be com ended
for living fully up to our motto of fraternity
