pleasure, and the best words can find to ex-
press my appreciation of your energies, they

Incidents Of the war almost forgotten BY the
'veterans." Each edition was finely illus
trated; the asticles well written and exceed

and will be highly priced by the comrades
when they can sit down quietly at their fire.
