padding in his canoe up some of the

the cowboys of the wild and .woolly

always with intense reluctance that he

Tribune is the best paper ever pub

and that it has been the cause of moro
pensions being granted to veterans thru
John McElroy's editorials than all 9TH
er sources put together. He thinks that
the old soldiers are becoming a back
number politically, and that The Ma

the only way for them to get pension
legislation. He says: Let US all pull
together, every 6. A. R. Post in the
United States. and vote for The Ma

indorses The National Tribune bill,
which he hopes will be approved by the
G. A. R., and its speedy enactment

we landed just south of the fort in
hard rain, and made a forced march

of the fort at dark, soaked to the skin,
and there I received an order to at
once report with my company to head
quarters, where we were directed to join
a company of the 9th Mich. on the
picket line, to extend it. We obeyed
the order, and the line was so long that
every soldier had to go on to cover it.
We stayed there all night in the rain

The last thing we had to eat was

Greatly Pleased With st. Cloud.

Editor National Tribune: My wife

were greatly pleased with The location
you selected for your townsite. 1t has
the most beautiful lake front of any of
the towns and cities we visited while in
the South. The progress it has made
in SO short time is simply wonderful.
1t just reminded me of one large fam
lily. Everybody seemed happy and con-
tented, and the way each and every old
soldier was putting his shoulder to the
