The sluggard might learn a valuable lesson from Francis M. Cockrell Here is a case in point illustrative of the man and his methods._ Some Years ago a republican, a personal friend, wrote Cockrell in the interest of a Missouri soldier whose claim for pension had been rejected by the In- teror department.
