little money it costs them. Now, I am

see if any comrade can beat me. I was

charged by special order Jan. 8, 1865.
The disability incurred by his service
changed Comrade McCullough's whole
life, and he decided to adopt the pro-
fession of teaching. He entered the
PENNSYLVANIA State Normal School, and
after passing thru its course was elected
a professor Later he was Superintend-
ent of Schools in Bowling Green, Mo-,
Roodhouse and Girard. Ill. In the lat
ter place he was married to the wife

unions for the world. 1t does me good
to see the old veterans meet and shake

bill is settled, 1 hope Congress will do
something for the old soldiers, who are
all getting unable to work. How is a
man not able to work expected t. sup
port himself and wife on s12 month

you advise all toedo? According to
what the paper says and the laws that
have been enacted, I do not see why

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

T. ]. McG., Pennsylvani, Pension
for loss of leg is q specific Ing, care
and attendance from other causes not
being considered.
S. r. H. California.-Teamst and
wagonmasters were employees of the
Quartermaster's Department, and have
no pensionable status.
j. F. l., Aurora, Ill.-A divorced wife
has no title to pension.
H. NJ. H., Kentucky, and G. L. L.,
Tennessee.-The loss of hand or foot
or total disability in the same is rated
at $40 under the act of March 2, 1903.
A disability which is equivalent to the
loss of hand or foot is rated at s24.
c. B. M, Kentucky.-The contract of
principal with a substitute was pri-
vate agreement into which the Govern
ment did not enter. and there is no law
to reimburse such drafted man for pay
ing his substitute.
Mrs. W., California.-If a soldier de-
serts his wife for period OF six months
or more, and she is woman of good
moral character and in destitute Cir
cumstances, she can draw one-half of
his pension.
J. H. K, Illinois-If a widow of a
soldier remarries, the minor children
of the soldier can apply for pension un-
der the same act that gave the mother
title prior to her remarriage, and they
will draw not only SO apiece in their
own right, but in addition thereto the
would have been entitled had she not
remarked.
A Reader, Hastings-Da'te of mar
riage is not a factor in a widows claim
for pension under the general law, but
1t must be borne in mind that under
said law the widow has no title to pen
sion unless the soldiers death is due to
disability incurred in service and line
Of duty. The rate of pension is $12 a
month, but if the marriage is after
March 3, 1899, it must be proved be-
yond question that she lived with her
husband continuously without divorce
from the date of marriage to the date
Of his death.
H. C. D., Colorado-A Mexican War
soldier, under the act of Jan. %, 1887,
received So a month at the age of 81
years, If he rendered 60 days service in
said war or was engaged in battle.
Under the act Of Jan. 5, 1898, this was
increased to $12 a month, provided the
soldier was unable to perform manual
labor and in destitute circumstances
Soldiers of this war are now benefited
by the provisions of the act of Feb. 6,
1907.
D. McC., Okio.-A dependent sister
of a soldier has title to pension when
under 16 years of age. provided the SOL
dier does not leave either~widow, minor
children, mother or father, and it can
be proved beyond question that his
death was due to the service.
Subscriber, Tracy, Cal-Under the act
of April s. 1904, 500 month is the
rate of pension for total blindness Of
both eyes, provided the disability was
incurred in service and line of duty
c. A. s.. Beverly, N. 1.-The widow
whom you mention has no title to PEN
sion from the date of the soldiers dis
charge to the date of his death, arrears
being paid only when the application
