FOR NINETEEN YEARS.


A Nest curious case, showing how
the separate systems Of the government
may take on confusing shape, has just
come to light in Indiana, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. man who has
for nineteen years been confined in jail
at the expense Of the nation, has dur
ing all these years been in receipt, or
Intended receipt, OF considerable sum
Of money from this same nation.
II Is because the man fought in the
great war that the complication was
made possible. At least, his services in
battle were responsible in part for the
situation. II once occurred to the man
that after having fought the good fight
for freedom and unlfcation II might be
the graceful ching for the country 10

sidefatlon. so he put IN an application
for a pension. II was allowed, and the
mans name was written on the book OF
