PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

Inquiry. Syracuse, N. Y.-Exemption
| of property purchased with pension
money from taxation is subject to State
| laws, and we would advise that you
write the Adjutant of your State or
consult local attorney for information.
r. H, Newport, N. H.-The fact that
soldier is drawing a pension of s12
per month will not, we believe, affect
the wife's title to pension as dependent
mother The soldier drawing pension
of S12 month under the act of June
27, 1890, is evidence that he is disabled
for manual labor, and in consequence
the wife would be the more dependent
upon the son.
Old Timer-As to title to war badge
for service in the War with Spain, you
would best consult the Adjutant Of the
Spanish War Veterans Association.
S. B. D., Ohio.-1. Hon. Vespasian
Warner became Commissioner Of PEN
sions March 4, 1905. 2. The best proof
of date of birth of soldier Is a certi-
fed copy of the public, Church or Bible
record of his birth. Testimony from
convincing character to be accepted.
A. B., Michigan.-In computing
length of time in service for pension
able purposes, under the acts of juno
27, 1890, and Feb. 6, 1907, time spent
in dessrtion or on leave granted for

H. ]. G., Gallon, OFF, as you state,
you were drafted and procured q SUBJ
stitute, and that you and your substi-
tute travelled to the County-seat, where
he was examined and accepted, and that
while you were returning home there
was railroad accident, in which you
were permanently injured. you would
not have valid claim against the Gov
ernment for pension on account Of said
injury.

THE MINNESOTA G. A. r.
The Posts Are Active and Thriving.


Editor National Tribune: The De-
partment's busy days have opened in
splendid manner, and with the assured
assistance of loyal Ladies of the G.. A.
r. and the active and persistent efforts
of the Woman's Relief Corps the pros
pect ls very encouraging, and promises
to keep the Department officers quite
busy this Fall and Winter. Post 100,
at Grand Meadow, with the help Of the
Woman's Relief Corps. in convention,
held an unusually interesting Campfire
on the 9Th inst, Commander Bates and
Senior Vice Greening being present and
participating in the interesting pro-
gram.
Commander Bates and 'ast Com
mander Longfellow were rtfcipants
and helpful assistants at the Campfires
held at Northfeld with Post SO, and at
Faribault, Post 1913, recently. Nov 5
Post lat. at Park Rapids, and Post 81,
at Excelsior, were greeted by large
audiences. much enthusiasm and pro-
nounced success. where Past Depart
ment Commanders Longfellow, Stark
weather and also Mrs. Starkweather as
sisted to make happiness for all the
comrades and their friends in attend
ance.
Tuesday evening, Nov. 10, Adjt.-Gen.
Clark and Past Commander LonefelloW
Annandale. Here the Ladies' Circle
served a splendid repast to the old
comrades and their visiting friends,
that refreshed and well paid every one
present.
Department Commander Bates visit
ed with Long Prairie Post, 100. on the
18th, and at Sauk Center, with Post 40,
on the 18th, and splendid results were
realized.
Last Saturday, Nov IA, Gen. Clark
was with the comrades at Luverne, and
here the Corps ladies furnished an
evening dinner from the fruits and
edibles fresh from the garden and
farm, such as we seldom In the city are
permitted to enjoy. Then on Sunday
evening the Presbyterian Church was
filled and patriotic services were held,
at which Gen. Clark and Comrade Levi
Longfellow made addresses, the latter
going down to Luverne Saturday even
ing and arriving too late to take part
in the Campfire. If there is anything
productive of good results, if there is
any virtue in good Christian, charitable
effort, If hope and happiness are
blessing, surely the old soldier veter-
ans, their friends, their neighbors and
the Department and the State as well
will reap benefits therefrom.--Robert

A Northern Trip.

Editor National Tribune: I have JUS
returned from trip to Quebec, going
and returning by water from Niagara
Falls. AS Americans we have a historic
interest in Lake Erie, with its Perry
victory. In a ride the length OF Ontario
one realizes the greater lake. The boat
from Toronto crosses the lake to Char
lottesville, then up thru the Thousand
Islands In doing so we go over a
depth of water Of TAO feet. Surely
enough in which to drown all ordinary
troubles of this life. If not thus re-
lieved, they will soon be forgotten in
traversing those picturesque islands as
the steamer passes by and thru them.
On the one side may be the elegant
home of wealth and then is seen on
another nestled amid inviting trees, the
neat cottage where may be found, per-
haps, more of real home enjoyment
than the other class. At Prescott we
leave the lake steamer and take a
smaller one to shoot the rapids of the
great ST. Lawrence River. There are
five clusters of these rapids. during
which the river descends 140 feet. Only
two boats are used to convey passen-
gers who wish to go by river to Mon
treal. We took the water route. Won
derful, indeed, is the sense of awe as
the boat sometimes almost touching the
trees on one side, then hurriedly rush.
ing to the center of the river and soon
on the opposite side being borne on
down the mighty river. 1t is nearly
sundown as we come out of the Lachine
Rapids, then to the calm waters, where
we soon pass under Victoria bridge and
are at dock in Montreal. A steamer of
900 rooms awaits US, and we are soon
on board for the next mornings land
ing at Quebec. 1t is the week before
the Tercentennia1 celebration. Two days
stay shows us that the city is alive and
nearly ready. Cathedrals, hotels, Par
lament buildings and streets are
trimmed with flags of many Nations,
and electric lights in curves and in fes-
toon show what has been done. The
American flag is not lacking, but in
nearly every cluster or arch is Well
placed, all in remembrance of the
founding of the city of Champlain in
1908. This item also aroused me and
will others of your readers, in Quebec

A GOOD LINCOLN STORY.
The President Recognized When the
Laugh Was Turned On Himself.

heard a good Lincoln story A years
ago, while Gen. Sherman's army was
marching thru Georgia. The story
came to me direct from Sherman's
headquarters. 1t is a story of a man
a gallant soldier who could talk as well
as fight.
Capt. Bill Sureshot Chat was not his
real name, but it will do just now)
was a gallant officer in an Illinois regi-
ment He was tall, wiry, ungainly-
looking man, but he had a tongue like
a. razor. The Captain. it happened,
was on duty several rainy days in sue
cession, and, somehow, some way, he
INDUCED in too much firewater, with
the result that he was dismissed the
service for drunkenness while on duty
1t happened that he knew President
Lincoln slightly, and forthwith he went
to the White House and boldly acknowl-
edged his fault, and then he asked 10
be reinstated President Lincoln de-
INJURED, on the ground that an officer
while intoxicated might lead his COM
pany into needless peril. The Captain
replied that his company were skilful
marksmen, and that no officer could
lead his men into a place where they
could not, man for man, fight their way
out
The Captain, then warming up to his
subject, descanted upon the manifest
injustice of allowing civilians in Wash
lngton to get drunk at Will and not
allowing army officers to get gloriously
drunk at least once year.
Mr.. Lincoln looked the officer all
over and then said, with some hidden
meaning in his voice, Hang me, IL you
look much fike Captain. anyway"
Like spark from smitten steel came
the answer, "Well, now, Mr. Lincoln,
IL you want to talk on that line,
me, II you look much like a President"
The President turned to his desk, and
wrote an order to the Secretary of War
directing that Capt. Bill Sureshot be
reinstated and sent to his regiment
without delay.-Capt David A.
Murphy, oxford. o.

Death Of Mai. Williams.

The local papers have much to say
of the death of Maj. Charles H. Will
liams, of Baraboo. Wis, who was a
good and consistent Quaker, but won
his title on battlefield. He was born
of Welsh parentage in Cincinnati, o.,
began life as a civil engineer, became
much interested in the slavery ques-
ton, and then moved to Wisconsin,
where he became farmer. When the
war came he entered the 23d Wis, and
led it in the assaults at Vicksburg
After the war he was prominent
breeder of blooded stock, Regent of the
Wisconsin University, and very helpful
in developing agriculture. - He never
lost sight of the humanitarian issues of
the day, and especially those which
looked to the elevation of the negro.
He was 80 years old when he died.
