to impress soldiership upon the volun-
teers Nothing could ruff1e the stately
calmnesS of Thomas and no trace OF
temper, severity or excitement ever ap-
peared in his orders. He held that an
oath or loud, heated tone impaired the
force of an order. In some indefinable
manner he impressed all those around
him with his sincerity, his determine
ton and his ability to accomplish that
which he had set out to do.
This confidence which Thomas in
spired was most marked from the very
beginning of his career, when he was
assigned to the command of the sturdi-
ly independent, undisciplined volun-
teers gathered from Kentucky, Ohio
and Indiana at Camp Dick Robinson.

no end of trouble with them, but no
one ever heard of Gen. Thomas having
the least difficulty in managing the
most refractory Kentucky mountaineer
or in dealing with the obdurate self
sufficiency of the farmer boys north of
the Ohio. Somehow, he succeeded in
impreSSing upon them that regulations,
drill and exact discipline were abso-
lutely necessary for the work in which
they were engaged, and it was not long
before the most intense pride in that
work and an ardent desire to do 1t well
was developed in them, and ThomaS's
command speedily became conspicuous
for its discipline and efficiency. Men

Resents the SIander.

The Phoenix, Muskogee, Okla, hav-
ing published an article slandering
pensioners as a class, Comrade E. H.
Holcomb, 7th Kan. Cav, Durant, Okla,
wrote them, energetically replying to
their calumnies. He served 1.4S0 days
during the war, and has a letter showing
that evey one of these were actual ser
vice in the field. In the course of the
letter he says:
Il had no thought, and neither did
most of the old boys, when 1 enlisted
of moneysd compensation or of
pensions. l went to the front from
patriotic motives, and can prove it by
my record and my four years hard SER
vice. A braver, truer, more patriotic
body OF men never went forth to battle
than the volunteers from 1851 to 1865
They had no thought of pensions, but
went to save the Union: that this Gov
ernment of the people, for the people
and by the people might not perish
from the earth. If they had not done
their duty well and bravely the writer
of that editorial would not now be en-
joying the blessings of great, enlight-
ened and free Government, upon which
and its institutions he is a reflection.
among other things, that the pension
rolls are stuffed with the names of
deserters, bounty jumpers and other
frauds, and the men that are pushing
the new pension bill are a bunch of
grafters, and 1 want to brand this as
falsehood. and say that man that will
write an article like that editorial ought
to be made to live either in Russia or
Spain instead of this great Republic.
The whole country, with the exception
of the writer of that squib and few
of his like, are back of this bill. 1t
is just and right and should become a
law. Are you going to permit your
paper to stand committed to the Senti-
ments of that insulting editorial? vi
you do you are an enemy of your
country's defenders, and 1 for one want
to know where you stand. 1 fought
during the early sixties.
and judging from the sentiments ex-
pressed in said editorial the writer must
have been one of that class. The old
boys are dying at the rate of about
$4,000 a year, and the rate is increas-
ing each year. 1t is therefore time
that the country got busy and began
to pay to the men that fought that war
the debt that it so justly owes them,
a debt that the country can never pay
but at least ought to pay them enough
to help them to spend the few remain !
ing years in ease and comfort. l hope
that you will disclaim the sentiments
expressed in that editorial in your issue |
of the 17th."

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, the wants of the
family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in q
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition Of botfi
body and brain. and in extreme cases id
complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves, and keep the diges-
tive and assimilat:ve functions healthy
