Jake Barger's Memory Is Working o. K.

DECOLLECTION Of a fight over
IN a horse more than fifty years
ago has just proved to be worth 500
a month for the rest o: his life to
Jacob Barger of Shawneetown. Ill.
Private Barger's case is one of the
most celebrated on the records 1T the
pension bureau. 1t was pending for
twenty years. Special examiners took
more than 500 pages of testimony re-
garding his claim to a pension. They
visited half a dozen states. Special
bills providing for pension for him
were introduced in seven or eight
congresses. Representative Thomas
S. Williams of the Twenty-fourth ILL
nois district, in which Shawneetown Is
situated, finally got through bill at
the session just closed and President
Harding signed 1t.
The trouble arose from the fact
that although Barger served more
than a year in the Union army. there
Is no record In the adjutant generals

charge. Some of his former comrades
readily recalled him. Others failed to
recollect him and some even asserted

ing piteously with woe In his voice,
"Oh, Allie, Allie-my-my little girl,
Allie! Well move, Allie; We'll move"
He came to her and stood help
lessly before her. He could not know
why she was dumb. He misunder-
stood and was turning away in a
slow agony Of shame. when her love
for him swept her as upon a wave
into his arms, sobbing.
She recovered quickly, and has
tened to a sputtering pan which she
pretended needed her attention. The
old man touched her dress In his
wonted way, as he passed her going
toward the door, He hesitated, and
seemed to have another protest upon
his lips. The daughter felt that she
could not keep her sorrow back II
he spoke. The old man did not note
the pathetic tremble in her voice as
she cried to her little sister, playing
at the door:
"Jen-nee, Jennie, ooh Jennie, you
60 cut me a switch; got to tend
to your pa. He's maxim me spoil this
supper" She added in a firmer
voice, "The very idee Of our movin'."
And the old man. looking back with
a smile, went into the twilight full

The program, being considered by
Representative Sweet is entirely apart

Enactment into law of what Is
known as Order 81, which permits the
veterans bureau to rate men who are,

period of one year or more as totally
and permanently disabled.
To make provision that in no case
shall the compensation of disabled
man be reduced unless a physical ex-

shall have been given at least three
months notice of the proposed reduc-
ton.
To provide that psychOsis, neurOsis,
psychoneurosis, active tuberculosis, or

three years after separation from the
service shall be considered to have
been acquired while in the service.

ing she cried herself to sleep. brood
ing over her own personal sorrow.
She was awakened by her father
scraping the ashes from the kitchen
stove, and her heart rose to her
throat with great love for him. Dur
ing that entire day the girl held her
father in her mind as she went about
her household duties. 1t seemed to
her that her life with him was really
worth living, and she was glad that
companions away. Yet her hand was
raised against the wOrld-her narrow
world that is the epitOme of the great
narrow wOrld-because ii prosecuted
her and pointed its finger at the one
being she loved. But the very fact
that her father was set apart fro 4
his fellows because of her drew him
close to ner. And the night thoughts
followed her all through the day, till
she lOnged for his return. 1t was q
good day in her life.
She heard his footsteps on the walk
in front, and heard him coming
around the house to the kitchen door.
When he crossed the threshold she
abashed at the suddenness of 1t, but
he was pleased. He took a chair and
sat In the back yard leaning against
the house. From there he talked with
her through the open door. They had
passed the usual questions of the day,
when the old man said, allie, v can't
guess what Mrs. Hinkley said about
you this evening" The daughter
blanched as she stood in the doorway,
and said nothing. 1t was dusk. and
the old man did not notice her. 'She
said, sez she, Mr.. Beasly, do you
know that you. are dom wrong to
keep Allie in the house thereT l says,
why so. Mrs. HinkleyY and she
wouldn't say nothin' but We'll, y are,

thinks that cause you're grown to
be so purity an'-an' all that-you're
ashamed to stay here in Jersey with
your old daddy" Strange things
were crOwding into the girls mind
fearful immastery in her heart.
Then the temptation came with her
fathers question. "But you amt
ashamed to stay with your poor, hon
est Of pap, are Y, Allie?"
There was a short silence. AS II
heightened into distinct pause the
mans heart was shot with fear. He
felt remOrse wrap him about-re-
morse and humiliation. He sprang
lamely from the leaning chair to his
