saw a man who was suffering from a
slight disorder make application at the
home. Are you willing to be cured
to submit to an operation if it should
be necessary" asked the governor
No said the man, and he was not
admitted. To cure him would be to
remove his disability and cut off his
pension, to drive him to work, compel
him to get married or find some other
visible means of support, and to that
he did most vigorously object.
Nearly half our inmates, says
General Stanley, many of them young
men, receiving large pensions for short
service on certificates Of disability,
claim the right to free life in this home
and plenty Of spending money besides.
From this latter class come all the dis
order and insubordination--th incen-
diarism of the home. The "a men need
no restraining discipline, excepting
when a weak dema gogue shows Up
among them"
By the generals remarks upon the
business of obtaining fraudulent PEN
sionS the writer was reminded of a con-
versation overheard in the dining sa-
loon of one of the Atlantic liners. be-
tween an American woman and q, Ger
man gentleman. The lady was ex-
planning to the German how the poor
people of Williams empire were taxed,
oppressed and impoverished to support
a useless army. r.

One day while Cooper was SITTING
cross legged Gun his cot, repairing V1e
rents in Captain Boihannan's trousers
La Touche, the prison ad1utant, came
in and watched the flying needle with
unusual interest. La Toucne was d

He was very neat in his person. a oach-

week in the year. Old ones are going
away and new ones are coming in.
Many who are not entitled to or worthy
of the benefits of the institution try to
work in during the winter months, but
it is hard for them to fool the watchful
governor. The writer happened to be
in the office one morning when the
sergeant major was filing in a string
of new corners. The general made only
a few passes at each one, and the aD-
plicant was either admitted or rejected,
for the governor always held the aD-
plicant's record in his hand while ne
heard his tale of woes, which did not
always agree with the record.
THE CAT MAN AND HIS FRIENDS.
The most notable of the eccentric
characters is the ''cat man" This old
soldier has a mania for cats, and he
has taken such care of his feline family
that all the birds have been frightened
away, and the squirrels that used to
play around the governors home have
taken to the woods. General Stanley
is just now at a loss to know whether
it is better to remain neutral or to
come to the rescue of the squirrels and
birds, and sacrifice the cats, which is
to break the heart of the cat man.
who is constantly with his flock from
early morning until the sound of tattoo
calls him away at night.
That many of the inmates are sharp
politicians is shown by their activity in
the Hobbies of the house of congress
whenever a bill is up looking to the linn
itation of membership in the Soldiers
home. Not long ago bill was reported
by the board, recommended by the sec

Tetary of war and reported fayorably
by the military committee of the house
of representatives. asking for an act Of
congress requiring pensioners receiving,
more than IS per month to pay a mod
crate allowance for their maintenance
from 81 per month up to IS for pension
ers receiving SIS and upward, but it
failed to pass, because" says General
Stanley in one of his annual reports.
the high pensioners in the home organ
lied a lobby and opposed the bill; their
demonstrance was both untruthful and
insubordinate, and the bold impudence
of these high pensioners shows that the
disposal Of pensions will be the main
feature in the future management of
this home.
Nearly all the trouble and disturb
ance comes, we are told, from the
younger men who have large pensions,
but who have not died or their coun-
try to any very considerable extent.
"These young men of short service"
said the present governor, ''as soon as
admitted to the home. apply for pen
sions. As soon as a pension is granted
they apply for an increase. and with
the facilities for beating the govern
ment offered by the numerous pension
claim agents near at hand, young men
not 80 years old and who have served
only few years in the army, are liy-
ing at this home, where every neces-
sity of life is furnished free, receiving a
pension of S24 and $50 per month. who.
to all intents, have little or nothing
ailing them. That such a person, with
no employment, should become 9. loafer
and even criminal, is not at all I'M
lkely"
DID NOT WISH TO BE CURED.
Men who draw moro than SIG a
month are not admitted at any of the
national homes for old veterans. and
they should not be admitted here.
