Kansas; Pacific, Santa Monica, Cali
fornia; Marion, Marion, Indiana.
These homes, which together form
''the national home for disabled vol
unteeH soldiers" have cared for nearly
10000 veterans, and now have within
their walls nearly twenty thousand.
The rules for admission require an
honorable discharge, disability which
prevents earning a livelihood, and no
veteran drawing a pension of SIG Or
over is eligible, except by vote of the
board of managers.
Yet these are but few of the
homes, for in twenty-six of the north
ern states separate institutions under
state care provide shelter for the vet
Grams, and most of the southern states
have similar homes for the care of the
ex-Confederate veterans, some of the

GRATITUDE !
So
= oW

The pension rolls attest to the last
ing gratitude of the American people,
for on the roster of the nations fame
are not alone the men who suffered
the civil war, but the widows and
daughters of revolutionary soldiers,
now less than half a score, those of
the heroes of 1872, and many a name
leo.
Nor is this the only evidence of the
nations gratitude, for throughout the
country are palaces of comfort and
ease, where the heroes of our wars
live out their declining years as wards
of the states and the nation. Our
soldiers homes form a study in graf
itude which surpasses in interest even
the story of Les Invalides Of Paris, of
the SSOldaten Helm of Berlin, or those
of Kilmainham and Chelsea, for they
are as extensive as the nation and
as deep-hearted in spirit as is the
thankfulness of those who toll that
the aged warriors may know no fur
Their sorrow.
1t is to General Winfield Scott, the
hero of the Mexican war, that we owe
the real initiative in this work Of
gratitude. Like all great soldiers, his
heart was with his army, and their
sufferings and trials appealed most
strongly to his no BILE nature. 1t was
at the close of the Mexican war that
the tribute extorted from the city of
Mexico for himself and his soldiers,
was placed by him to the credit of a
soldiers home. The draft for one

hundred thousand dollars was endors-
ed by him as follows: "The Bank of
America will place within amount to
the credit of the army asylum, subject
to the order of congress"
But congress was slow to act and
not until 1851, when the nation itself
demanded immediate action were
homes provided for those who were
left from the three hundred thousand
and more who had fought under
Washington, and from the half mil
lion who had been uder arms in the
war of 1872 The act of congress pro-
vided for national home at Wash
ington, but as the people would
brook no delay temporary homes were
founded at New Orleans, at Green
woods island, Mississippi, and later
at Harrodsburg, Ky. But the bulk of

latter in charge of private organiza-
lions.
Over 1900 inmates attest to the
gratitude of New York in the magnifi-
cent home at Bath. AS many are
provided for in the Quincy home, Il
linois, and in that of Ohio at Sandusky.
But perhaps the most elaborate is that
OF Iowa, at Marshalltown, which, while
it contains only about 500 inmates, is
arranged to accommodate more than
double that number.
In fact all the homes are able TO
accommodate many more than are
now within them, for it was realized
by the managers that the veterans OF
the civil war are growing silver
haired, and yearly more are knock
ing for admission. And as they enter
they find each year some new COM
fort, some new addition to the
, thoughtfulness of the nation. All
of the homes, state and national,
are splendidly equipped. The i'm
mense grounds in all of them are
| beautifully laid out, the garden plots
being cared for by the old veterans.
In many of the homes the farms, look
ed after by the old soldiers, give ap-
preciable incomes. At the national
home in Milwaukee, the farm products
! have an annual value of $4,000, while
those from the Leavenworth home cas-
lily sum up $4,000. Of course these
figures are trifling compared to the ex-
penses of the institutions which in
Milwaukee sum up 1926, 900.
The libraries in all of the homes,
both state and national, are growing
annually. The Dayton home has
about 10000 volumes while the other
| institutions average from 1000 to TO-
900. Papers and periodicals from
| home and abroad are on file in all OF
| the institutions.
The states and the national govern
ment cares for it's wards, it will DO
seen from all this, in no half-hearted
| fashion. Yet many will be surprised
| to hear that in some of the institu-
lions there are even cures for drum
kenness. 1t is safe to say that a cons
siderable percentage Of these old vet
Grams have been impoverished by
! drink, and when they arrive at the

chase of five hundred acre tract
three miles north of the national cap

erected many splendid structures,

all who have applied. Since it's
foundation nearly eleven thousand
veterans have been admitted and to-
day it's walls give shelter to over sew
en- hundred old soldiers, almost ali
from the regular army. The rules OF
homes are simple in the extreme. For
the main home they read as follows:
l. Every soldier of the army of the
United States who has served, or may
serve, honestly and faithfully, twenty
years in the same.
2. Every soldier and every dis
charged soldier, whether regular or
volunteer, who has suffered, or may
suffer, disability by reason of disease
or wound incurred in the service and
in the line of his duty, rendering him
incapable of further military service
if such disability was not occasioned
by his own misconduct.
3. The invalid and disabled SOL
diers, whether regulars or volunteers,
of the war of 1912 and of all sub
sequent wars.
The branch homes are as follows

The morning of Fourth of July rose
full of sweet summer hazes, musical
with the trill of birds, and sparkling
with dew.
Leah could scarcely wait for the
old farm wagon to drive off before
she began her own toilet, frizzing
her hair to look like FlOra's tangled
tresses, and adjusting the newly
Numbered pink muslin gown to
initiate, as nearly as possible, the
prevailing fashion.
Her heart beat restlessly; the color
came and went nervously on hel
cheek: and even afer she was stand
ing at the dock, with the house-key
in her hand, she began to think that
the time never would come for the
excursion boat to steam around the
curve of the hills.
What will George Annis think if
he comes there and finds it all shut
up and vacant?" she thought, with a
species of strangke exultation.
Hush! The sound Of drum and
horn and piercing fife, the f1utter of
bunting, the roar of paddle wheels!
The boat was here at last, and the
first object she took note of was Flora
Plimpton, waving a handkerchief from
the guards.
Come on board!" shouted Flora,
looking red and excited. Dave Fer
guson amt here yet. He'll get on
next landing. Hurry-hurry!
But in her haste Leah had dropped
the house-key, and stepped out Of the
throng to pick it up from the trampled
grass.
With the sight of it's cleaning brass
wards, sudden thought flashed into
her mind. The money in the old
Dutch cabinet at home!
Why had she never remembered

Ubdt The Tourtb
Brought 5ortb*

at Leah, and vanished into the dark
ness of the summer night.
Leah Linton had come to the Hal
lidays ten years ago as bound
girl-a fatherless, motherless waif-
big-eyed Ike a robin, with thatch
of chestnut hair overhanging her
forehead, and slim, brown feet,
guiltless of shoes or stockings, and
the indy old couple had adopted her
| into their heart and home.
Now, at eighteen, she was socially
their equal, to all intents and pur-
poses, and loved them with timid,
shrinking devotion.
Bue since Flora Plimpton had
crossed her orbit, that bold, dashing
girl who was 'tryer-on'' in Holt
& Hanneford's big cloak and mantle
store in New York, disturbing ele-
ment had risen into her heart-a
! longing to see the world, to mingle
with the gay throng of whom Flora
told her, to drink a draft from the
cup of trimming, seething life that
other people drank.
George Annis, the head carpenter
of the rubber works, had seemed de-
lightful company up to this time,
trified beside Mr.. Dave Ferguson,
black-moustached and scarf-pinned,
who had designed to cast a gracious
glance upon her rural charms.
All her little system of existence
was troubled and upset. Leah
scarcely knew why. Hitherto she
had been serenely happy, like one Of
the twittering robins in the thicket;
now vague sense of wrong and dis
content took possession of her as she
entered the house, drew the ponder
GUS bolt, and went up to her room.
1T is quite true what Flora Plimp-
ton says" she thought. Il never go
anywhere, or see anything!"
"Who was that talking over the
gate with you last night, Leah?" Mrs.
Halliday asked, the next day, as she
helped Leah shell the peas for dinner.
'It was Flora Plimpton.'
81 wouldn't set too much store by
that girl, if I was you,' counselled
the good woman, reaching for another
handful of the emerald pods
''The Plimptons always had bad
name, and [ never heard no good of
Flora, even arter they went away
from here. A girl like you can't be
too careful who she goes with.
Leah was silent, but she shelled
away faster than ever.
There are times when advice seems
to produce directly opposite effect
of what is intended, and Mrs. Halli-
days words only served to strengthen
the girls resolve to have her own way
for once.
81 shouldn't wonder" added the
old woman, with a sly smile II
George Annis were to come up this
way Fourth O. July, arter me and IA
theirs gone
Still the peas ratified into the pan
like a miniature fusilade of artillery.
Leah never looked up nor spoke.
"And I don't see as there'd be any
harm in your askin' him to stay to
dinner" added Mrs. Halliday. He'd
be sort O. company for you"
81 don't want any company!'' burst
out Leah. eff he says anything
more to Mr.. Halliday, ask him not to
come I'd rather be alone"
why, child, what's come to your
said Mrs. Halliday, in surprise.
Leah made no answer. She was
thinking of Ferguson's flashing
black eyes and square chin.
George Annis was a nice-looking
fellow enough, but George had no
style. "Style" was one of Flora
Plimpton's favorite words.
