Show Mie Wants Two Pensions. Phila.ielpM Inquirer. "I have,"saysa Maine pension agent, "what I consider a funny pension case on hand. Several years I secured a pension for a soldier of a certain regiment regi-ment and company, and then, after his death I secured a pension f r his widow. Now she comes to me to help her secure another pension as tho widow of another member of the same regiment. You see that since I secured her first widow's pension she has married mar-ried a comrade in arms of her first husband, hus-band, aud now that he, too, is dead, with a frugality and economy that are commendable and according to scripture, scrip-ture, sho is applying for the second pension. I have never known exactly a similar case. |
