An Indian war veteran recently
noticed an item in the Oregonian en-
TITLED Pensions to Oregonians" which
brings forth from him the following
remarks:
"Then follows a list of names, res
idetts of Oregon, who have bad their
pensions increased recently. do not
begrudge any veteran of any war in
which the United States has been en-
gagged, all the increase In his pension
be can secure. The government is
pretty tardy about these increases of
pensions, to say the least. but the point
/ desire to make at this time is, that
not one of the veterans named is an
Indian war veteran. The Indian war
veteran gets 50 per month, no more,
no less. Why should not the Indian
war veteran be entitled to an increase
as other veterans are? Why discrim-
mate between him and the veterans of
other wars? He risked bis life. he
suffered hardships and privation. he
bore the heat and burden of the day
and the dangers which threaten the
soldier on the field of battle. He was
regularly mustered into the service
of Uncle Sam and be stands before the
country and before the world as one of
the veterans of war in which his
country was engaged. There fore l
ask why. in the name Of even handed
justice and common sense, is be not en-
titled to The same rights under the pen
sion laws of the United States that are
accorded the veterans of other wars?"

In southern Kansas and northern Ok

will begin to fall before the reapers

harvest clans is highly picturesque,

walks of life, from the hobo who is
impressed into service to the college

An Echo of the Civil War, How a

ty of a SEQ,

ty of a Scout.
A balmy May morning, way back
yonder in the sixties, two Maryland
boys were strolling down Pennsyl-
vania avenue, Washington City,
when they were elbowed from the
sidewalk by a company of Yankee
soldiers. In twenty-four hours one OF
the boys was fighting with Stonewall
Jackson in Virginia, and the other
was en- route to Texas. They never
met again. The latter boy, whose
name was Randle, left a sweet little
girl behind at Hagerstown, and
promised to return as soon as the
war was over and make her his
bride. But he never kept his promise.
For forty years no word was heard
of him, yet the woman remained
true to her engagement refusing to
give her hand and heart to any one
else
