Pierceville. Ind


Query-Some years ago claim for
pension was filed under the general
law for minor children of soldier of
the civil war; their mother, the sol
diers' widow, having died two years
prior to the soldier. About year
ago one of the minor children died.
The other minor for whom pension
was claimed is now married woman
with children. She was under 16
years of age when the claim was
filed for herself and sister. The claim
has been abandoned for ten years.
Please inform me through your pen
sion column what can be done in the
matter.-W. T. s., Attorney at Law.
Answer-Minors' pension can be OBJ
tanned from the date of the death of
the soldier, if it can be shown that
his death was due to service and line
of duty, to the date they severally at
tanned the age Of 16 years. The fact
that the surviving minor is now over
16 years of age and married, does not
affect her title to minors pension I'M
der the general law. If the claimant
intends to proceed with the prosecu-
tion of the abandoned claim, she
should write to the commissioner of
pensions, signifying such intention,
and request to be informed as to what
further evidence is necessary to COM
plete her claim.

An IrreparabIe Loss.

The teacher of the primary school,
in looking round the room after the
children had taken their seats, saw
new face. 1t pertained to little boy.
She called him to her desk. What is
your name, dear?" she asked him.
Tommy Hunter, ma'am," he an
swered.
"How old are you, Tommy"
six, going on seven"
You don't look over five," she said,
after careful scrutiny. Il shall have
to ask you to bring me certificate Of
your age"
Bring you what, ma'am?"
"a statement from your parents.
You may stay here this morning, but
when you go home at noon, ask your
mother to write me note, telling me
when and where you were born. Don't
forget it, Tommy. You may go back
to your seat"
After the noon recess was over and
the children had reassembled in the
schoolroom, Tommy presented himself
at her desk, flushed with triumph.
The glow soon faded from his little
face, however, as he felt in his pock-
cts, one after another, and failed 70
find the note his mother had written.
He began to cry.
"What is the matter, dear?" asked
the teacher.
1--we lost my-my excuse for be-
In born!" sobbed Tommy.

Boston, Mass.
Query-I write you in behalf of my
mother, a retired officers widow. Her
husband undoubtedly died from disa-
bility contracted in the service, which
fact she may be unable to prove.
Will she be allowed to apply for
widows pension under the act Of
April 10, 1908, and under the general
law at the same time, so that she can
get the pension under the act of April
in case she cannot furnish the proof
necessary to establish her claim for
pension under the general law?-
Harry T. L.
Answer-The soldiers widow can
apply for pension under the general
law and under the act of April 10,
1906, at the same time. She would be
entitled to Widows pension under the
act of April 10, 1908, without regard
to the cause Of the soldiers death,
provided he served 80 days in the
civil war and received honorable dis
charge therefrom and she was mar
ried to him prior to June 27, 1890. She
can receive the pension allowed under
said act of April 10, 1908, while she
is making an effort to obtain the evil
dence necessary to establish her claim
for Widows pension under the gen.
eral law.

Thought Her Disfigure6 for Life.
Used cuticura: No Scar Left.

"My baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side Of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and I thought
the baby was disfigured for life.

HuTs OF MEXICAN INDIANS.
Primitive Architecture still Found In
Southern Texas.

ST. Louis.-The Mexican Indian
huts in the villages and upon the
ranches of the lower Rio Grande bor-
der region of Texas have style of
architecture and construction that is
distinctly their own. This type of
primitive buildings is rapidly passing
out of existence. Modern structures
are taking their places. At many
places on the border families of Mex
leans have abandoned their jacals and
moved into more pretentious homes.
One thing that recommended the old
style of residence to the poorer Mex
leans was its cheapness of construc-
tion. No money outlay is necessary
