Veterans and the Pension Roll.

The annual report OF the commits
sioner Of pensions shows that there
are 99S,441 persons on the pension
roll. OF these 6S4,60S are survivors
Of the civil war. OF the civil war
veterans 65,612 have come to the PEN
sion roll through the age order, No. rs.
During the year 43,SS3 pensioners
died. OF this number 30,324 were sur
vivors of the civil war.
The report of the adjutant general
of the Grand Army of the Republic
presented at the Denver encampment
shows a membership of 232, ,455, and a
loss by death during the year of 9,152
members. This shows that there are
on the pension rolls nearly three times
as many survivors of the civil war as
there are in the Grand Army of the
Republic, and that the death list Of
the pension roll is three times as
the Republic.
OF the members of the Grand Army
of the Republic 2S.554 are in the ma
tional soldiers homes and 1874 in
state soldiers homes. This probably
represents the invalid list of the or
ganization, leaving 1900 members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
living in their own homes or with rel
atives, and engaged in some kind of
business.
Outside of the Grand Army of the
Republic are thousands of old Union
soldiers whose names are not on the
pension roll, although the names of
many of them went to the roll under
the age order. This means that some
$1,000 veterans who would not apply
for pensions while they could earn
living became pensioners because of
advancing age.
If there is any increase in the num-
Der of pensioners in the future, it will
come from this class, under order

THE MISSING MAN

Author of The. Bank Tragedy"
by Lee snds shepard

"All this makes Il evident that
Lenora expected to meet her husband,
but not in Grovedale, for she was
! surprised when she thought she saw
him coming This argues a strong re-
semblance on the part of the twin
brothers, and which we know existed.
when Mr.. Hamilton recognized her,
as he did by her emerald hair, he
asked her If he might talk with her,
and mentioned that he was intending
to take the Eext train for Portland
The woman appeared puzzled, but
replied readily enough that she would
talk with him on the train.
What does this prove but that she
still supposed he was her husband
and that from ,rudcnt motives he did
not wish her TO recognize him on
the street? | shall prove to you that
her husband, Victor Hamilton, other
