He did not want the pension, according to the commissioner, on ac. count of the money it carried with it, but simply to perfect his record of honorable service in the Civil war. This view of the age disability. erder is being taken by many well to do vet- erans who would not otherwise apply for peusions. The fact that they are eligible and performed the service stipulated in behalf of the govern ment and that the government is will- ing to recognize this service by a pen- sion and the accompanying records of the same make the service pension a desirable nddlllon to family records.
