The President CT Il certain big Oil Com
pany is said 70 be worth $500, 900, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
backor, betterstill, divide the money among
the members of the class. / don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Bensons Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.

ganl2ation national in its scope that
should be open TO all soldiers who had
fought under the stars and stripes
They met with other comrades and or
ganized the first G.. A. II. post at De-
catur ILL.,. on the 9Th of April, 1866.
There were only twelve charter mem
bers, and Major Stephenson was the
first commander Of the department.
The first national encampment was
held at indianapolis Nov TO- 1865, the
second At Philadelphia in 1865, and lince
then the meeting of the veterans has
been an annual event It has taken
place three times hi Philadelphia. the
second time In 1876, the centennial
year" three times In Cincinnati, twice
IN Boston and In cities as far apart as
Portland Me-, and San Francisco. In
point Of fact, almost every large city
between these two last named has had
or will have the pleasure of entertain
ing the Grand Army Of the Republic.
The present commander in chief Of
the Grand Army Is Judge ELI Torrance,
Pennsylvania born. but now resident
In Minnesota, fifty-eight years old. He
enlisted In the army as private In
Company A, Ninth Pennsylvania re-
serves. He re-enllsted In 1864 and
fought as long as the war lasted He Is
one Of the most popular and best known
Of Grand Army men, and this Is his
second year as commander in chief
1t is hoped and expected that such of
the old corps commanders as are still
living viii be present in Washington,
for the intense interest manifested by
all Is enhanced by the conviction
among many posts and individuals that
this encampment may be the last one
they viii be able to attend.
Greater scope will be allowed this en-
campment, both as to space and time,
than heretofore. Sunday there are pa
triotic services In various churches.
Monday is the actual day Of opening,
the different posts being received as
they arrive and assigned their quar-
