pear in every issue of TUE TRIBUNE. My father,
John w. SwartZ, belonged to Co. +, 10th Uhio lie

TO the front we easily get ahead Of the girls IL
some OF our number do catch il pretty heavy some

ANSWER TO eYPsY's WARNING.
OF numerous copies Of the Answer to Gyp-

10 a request by a member of the Conversation
Club, the copies forwarded by Fora Budges,
! Vienna, Ill, and Ida 81. Palmer, Sharon. Conn,
are the plainest and neatest. And this is say
/ ing considerable, since all the copies are ex-
ceptionally good. All write pleasant and pretty
letters, but the editors suggests to the young
people little more cafe in the use of capitals.
Every sentence should begin with a capital

Comes and fingers many hours;
Lady, he's no heaTtless stranger
For be strews her grave with ho1yers

Lay thy soft white hand ia nine
For seek 40 fairer laurel
Than fle constant love of thine
When the silver moonlight isrightens
Thou shall slumber my breast;
Tender work thy soul shall lighten
