The usual details in administration of the pension laws are not amusing,
but occasionally even here a bit of humor creeps in to relieve the

98,325,423, based his application for succor upon an "injury to leg due
to the kick of a vicious horse" in the service and line of duty, etc.

alleged kick of a vicious horse."
The reply came promptly:
"My leg!"
