NEW PENSION ACT
Many Veterans to Receive
Mn increase Under the
New Service Law.

What is known as the service PEN
sion bill passed both houses and was
approved by the president on Febru-
ary 6. The new law gives many Of
the old veterans who are sixty-two
years of age or over substantial in
crease without the trouble and ex-
pense of a medical examination OF
aid of an attorney or agent. All that
is necessary for them to do is to make
the necessary proof that they served
ninety days or more in the army or
navy during the late civil war, and
the increase dates from the filing of
the application.
Congressman Rucker has furnished
The BLADE with copy of the new
law and also asks US to advise all SOL
diers to whom it applies that if they
will write to him he will send the
proper application blanks and person
ally file and prosecute their claims.
The new law is as follows:
That any person who served ninety
days or more in the military or naval
service of the United States during
the late civil war or sixty days in tnsI
war with Mexico, and who has been
honorably discharged therefrom, and
who has reached the age Of sixty-two
years or over, shall, upon making
proof of such facts according to such
rules and regulations as the secretary
of the interior may provide, be placed
upon the pension roll, and be entitled
to receive pension as follows: In
case such person has reached the age
of sixty-two years, twelve dollars per
month; seventy years, fifteen dollars
per month; seventy-fve years or over,
twenty dollars per month; and such
pension shall commence from the date
of the filing OF the application in the
bureau of pensions after the passage
and approval of this act: Provided,
That pensioners who are sixty-two
years of age or over, and who are now
receiving pensions under existing
laws, or whose claims are pending in
the bureau of pensions, may, by appli-
cation to the commissioner of pensions
in such form as he may prescribe, re-
ceive the benefits of this act; and no.
thing herein contained shall prevent
any pensioner or person entitled to
pension from prosecuting his claim
and receiving a pension under any
other general or special act: Provid-
ed, That no person shall receive a
pension under any other law at the
same time and for the same period
that he is receiving pension under
the provisions of this act; Provided
further, That no person who is now
receiving or shall hereafter receive a
greater pension under any other gen
eral or special law than he would be
entitled to receive under the provisions ,
herein shall be pensionable under this
act. /
SEC. 2. That rank in the service
hall not be considered in applications |
lied hereinunder.
SEC. 3. That no pension attorney, d
lain agent, or other person shall be 8
ntitled to receive any compensation
or services rendered in presenting
ny claim to the bureau of pensions,
r securing any pension, under this
ct.

Some Evening Rsvsries.

look at motives and not results Is the
right thing to do. How often the
best laid plans lead to failure. A
word Of appreciation has led many a
discouraged heart to pick up the brok-
en- threads and weave them into new
web after they had lain among shatter-
ed ideals for months or years. Kind
words bring memories that echo
through the years long after the lips
that uttered them have crumbled to
dust. Children carry the memory of
words of appreciation with them
through childhood and often recall
them in old age when enveloped in the
shadows Of life. They are like the
perfume of the violet that lifts its head
above the spring SHOWS and whispers
to them of the sunshine. Money can
not buy, intellect cannot create SO rare
gem as true kindness. It is a heart !
product and needs the tenderest cul-
ture. 1t is killed by indifference and
enfeebled by neglect.
Xxx
How many wasted flowers are
strewn over graves, of which one
small bud, pink with life and hope
and fragrant with sympathy, would
have eased the pain Of some aching
heart forever little while, had they
been bestowed while the loved one
was with us.
X Xxx
One of the first and hardest lessons
which the novice has to learn upon
entering the great busy world of toll
and tumult is that the rushing, strug-
Cling, striving public has no interest
in the grief of any individual. 1t is
too fully occupied with its own ad-
to spend thought or a
care on what does not concern or
affect it's welfare.
When We come to investigate we
will find that trouble is universal and t
is more equally meted out than we '
suppose. 1t comes to us all in one a
form or another, sometimes in disguise,
but it is the same ugly spectre when f
The mask is thrown aside. Every 7
heart has its own burden which wealth s
cannot tighten, nor honor alleviate. I
It may be in the hidden depths, un-
seen by human eyes, but it is there t.
nevertheless, and will be until the o
spirit throws off this mortal evil' +
and leaves it behind with its earthly T
;enement. The only difference is that
,ne has the moral courage to'meet or l.
overcome or else submit bravely to the
Inevitable, while the other makes no
Effort to lift itself from the stream into
which the tide of circumstances has
placed it, but wastes the strength,
which if properly exerted would put y
on its feet, in vain regrets and '
lseless repining.
Whatevery trials and disappoint- "
nents, keep them to yourself; they
