HARDING VEToES BILL.
Civil War Veterans and Widows Of
Veterans Sadly Disappointed At
HIS Action.

Thursday was the regular monthly
pension day for Civil War veterans
and widows and they eagerly awaited
the coming of their checks fully ex-
pecting that with this payment they
would receive the increase called for
in the Bursum Bill, which passed both
the Senate and House of Representa-.
tives in December, and contained a
clause that the increase would be paid
automatically or the fourth of the
following the passage of the
bill TO all on the pension rolls without
any further applications having to be
filed.
When the checks were received it
found that the amounts were the
same as formerly. The veterans and
widows did not know what had hap
pened until they saw the daily news
papers of the fourth, when they read
that President Harding had vetoed the
bill on January third. They are now
hoping that Congress will pass the
bill over the veto. When the bill
passed Congress in December it was
by a big majority.
The Bursum Bill would grant veter-
ans a monthly pension of $40 and wild
w a pension of $50 each month.

HUNTERS EXPERIENCES.
City Clerk Andrews and Fire Chief
Hudson ENJOY" Meal in
Woods Cabin.

When not engaged in practicing
medicine or fighting fire, DR.. w. j.
Hudson likes to steal off a day or two
30 spend in a cabin in the heart of
the Weymouth woods. City Clerk
Nehemiah Andrews also likes to for
get municipal bond interest, issuing
hunting licenses and other duties, to
accompany the doctor on these trips.
Well, they went this week to enjoy a
days sport in hunting deer. Every
body knows how hard it rained on
Wednesday, and of course the two
deer hunters were kept in the house
the most of the day. About noon they
discovered that they were hungry.
Doc" Hudson started for a country
store to procure a loaf of bread and
all he could get was a lot of last
years crackers, water soaked.
Andrews had been left to get the
fires going and he had a hot one in
the kitchen range when Doc" re-
turned with the crackers. They de-
cided to put the crackers in the oven
to dry out some. Then Hudson took
a can of baked beans out in the door
yard TO open it and found he had no
can opener. There was an ak handy
and he used that. He then put too
much water to the beans and he had
bean soup instead OF baked beans.
When they opened the oven to get
the crackers a cloud of smoke greeted
them and half the crackers were toas-
ted to a black crisp and unfit to eat.
Andrews then thought of coffee and
found that the supply consisted of
some that had been left over from
last year. He dumped three hand
fuls into a pot and started it tt boil.
1t resembled tar more than coffee and
was as strong as an OK. However the
hunters had to take pot luck and they
report with it all that they enjoyed
the trip.

South, a name no bearer of
pitality.
What did you do it for.
Henry?" asked Tiger at last.
He killed one of my hogs"
But you ought to have put the
law to him"
Henry was busy at the stove.
Gradually the acrid stencil of
the smudge was yielding to the
more congenial smell of frying
pork and corn.
AS he worked, Henry seemed
more effeminate than ever. With
his uncut hair and thin shoulders
he might have been a girl in dis
guise.
II said I'd kill him, and did"
he said simply. do you reckon
they'll let me Off" he added,
after a long pause.
II reckon not. Henry" Tiger
replied
Neither spoke until the food
was on the table. Then the
host said to his guest;
Il got treat for you. Tiger
It's somethin ! found as | was
rummagin' around LoOkee here"
He went over to where a bit

By Perley POOre Sheehan.

A FULL moon was hanging
AZ over the cypress swamp.
4 - On knoll to the right
stood a ruined house, forming a
lonely, majestic silhouette, broken
only where a solitary window
reflected the moonlight. Earlier
in the evening the believing of
an alligator had come from far
Their up the creek, sounding like
an amateur hand on an auto
mobile horn, and a whippoorwill
had practiced its cali over and
over again in the shadow of the
house.
1t was not an attractive place
to pass the night, but the man
who shuffled along the weed
grown lane toward the ruined
house went with the air of one
going home. There was half.
full sack on his shoulders and he
leaned far forward under its
weight. 1t gave him an appear
ance of age
A moment later, while his sack
was in mid-air between his shouI.
der and the ground, a voice hailed
him.
Hello there, Henry" it said.
mo use. Henry, l got my gun
right here. BY grab" it added.
1.-The mosquitoes almost ct me
up"
Hello, Tiger" replied the man
addressed as Henry. You mean
you've come a fter me?"
1--WE come after you, Henry
said Tiger III the same matter-of-
fact tone.
Henry reflected for a moment.
He could not see his captor. bur
he knew that his captor could
see him. That was one reason
why Tiger - otherwise Deputy
Sheriff Bob Jones--bore the name
he did; that, and his record as a
fighting man
Are you goin' to handcuff me,
Tiger he asked
II never handcuffed white
man yet, Henry" the deputy
answered with a touch OF pride.
Come on up 10 the house"
said the prisoner .Therell be
more moon in an hour. Wen
make a smudge, and eat and
drink something in comfort"
Tiger. averred that there was
nothing in this plan at variance
with his sworn duty; so Henry
picked up his sack, and the two
men walked up the slope together.
1t had been a fine house once,
grand and stately. It's tall pillars
and wide porches, as they be-
came more clearly visible in the

called something of it's early
romantic splendor
Henry succeeded in lighting a
lantern. The sparse hairs on his
unshaven chin glistened as he
leaned over it. The dim glows
and dark shadows made his long,
lean face and unshorn locks
more attractive than they might
