The association was founded in Wash
ington In 1878 by Col. Alexander N. Ken
nedy, who issued his call to all the, sur
viving american soldiers, sailors and
marines who had served In the war with
Mexico The object was to organize the
scattered veterans throughout the Unit
ed States into a national body upon the
broad principles of equality. fraternity.
and charity. for the purposes of social in
tercourse. good fellowship. and proper
assistance
After the close OF the Mexican war nu-
merous organizations had been formed
among the men who took part in the
struggle and they fiourlshed vigorously
until the breaking out Of the civil war,
Among these were the Aztec Club, formed
In is47 in the City of Mexico a month
after the capitulation. and numerous
State associations. Among the very old
est Of the State associations was the

Palmetto Regiment OF Charleston, S. c.
The Scout Legion was founded in 1913 by
the survivors OF the First and Second
Pennsylvania regiments. The Palmetto
Regiment. quite naturally. disbanded dur
ing the civil war and all further activity
was discontinued.
Ready for Another War.
Nearly every Mexican war veteran en-
listed In the civil war on one side or the
other. Col. Kennedy organized the Cali
fornia Association of Mexican War Vet
Grams in 1865. Removing to Washington
six years later, he began an active cam
paign In the interest of a national asso-
citation. He was aroused over what he
termed the unjust discrimination against
some of the Mexican war soldiers In
pension matters because those veterans
who lived In the South had cast their
lot with the Confederacy. For six con-
seeutive years the association met In
Washington for the purpose of arousing
interest in Congress in the organization.
Immediately after the meeting in 1872
bill was drafted and introduced In Con-
gress asking for service pensions for
old and needy Mexican war veterans. 1t
was a long struggle to obtain any aid
from Congress but finally, after fourteen
years, Mexican war veterans were ad-
mitted to pensions at IS per month.
A resolution was adopted by the national
association at it's last meeting approving
movement TO place a monument over the
grave of Gen. Thomas L. Hamer. who
commanded the Ohio troops. Gen. Hamer

ISLAND COMES AND GOES.

Rises In August and Disappears Regu.

One of Michigan's unsolved mystic
ries is the island that every summer
comes to the surface of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again tc
the depths from whence it arose.
Its periods of appearance and dis
appearance are nearly regular. 1t
comes to the surface about the middle
OF August and goes down again about
Feb. Is. What causes it to act thus
strangely is a conundrum that none
has been able to solve. but to keep it
above water or compel it to remain in
the depths have been alike without re-
suits.
On one occasion a number of farm
ers and teamsters resolved to put the
island out of moving business. In
their efforts to do so they hauled many
loads of stone and deposited them on
it during the early part Of winter. be.
lieving that when it went down i'll
February it would go down for good.
weighted as it was with the stones.
But the following August saw it bob
up serenely from below-minus it's load
of stones
At another time an effort was made
to keep it on the surface. and it was
chained to the surrounding country
with heavy log chains. When it's
time for departure came it departed.
and the log chains departed with it.
The log chains were never recovered.
The island is composed of soft mud
and rushes. and there are some skep
teal souls who attribute its formation
and appearance and disappearance tc
the gathering Of vegetation in one spot
by the currents of the lake and its sub
sequent decay.-Boston Herald.
