Note: These Watches, Chains and
Charms are as good and standard as
wheat, and, like wheat, they are rising
in price therefore, we are compelled
to require club of four instead of three,
as heretofore Another important rea-
son: Daring September each subscriber
and the ciub-raiser himself, at expense
to us, receives free the two great war
books "Cannoneer and Capturing
Locomotive" described elsewhere. The
promise of these books makes it very
easy matter to raise a club of four.

mounted the platform, and for an hour
pleaded with the veterans to come up and
reate stories of the war. Col. Fox an
nounced that he had been called away, and
that the veterans would have to take charge
of the meeting. No one could be found to
preside, whereupon old soldiers formed
themselves into groups and exchanged
"reminiscences of war times.

Corps was called to order by Col. Henry +.

"In the infantry and in the cavalry we
were together, and God in His mercy has
SPARED some to see this glorious freedom.
We are happy in the progress of the Nation
for which we fought that it might be saved.
God bless the Republic and the soldiers who
fought TO save it,"
Among those who listened to Gen Sickles's
address were large number of men who
had served as his escort to the Camp and
who had fought under him. These were

THE STORY OF THE BOOK.

HIS IS, UNDOUBTEDLY, THE MOST
thrilling book of the great civil war The
enterprise described possesses all the unity of a
drama from the first plunge of the actors into
the enemy's country, through all their adven-
lures and changing fortunes, until the few
survivors stood once more under the old flag
No single war story wildly presents SO many
of the hidden, underground elements of the
struggle against rebellion as this. From be-
ginning to end the readers attention never
wearies, and he rises from the perusal feeling
almost as if he had again lived through those
terrible days. The adventures traversed the
Confederacy in all directions; some persisted
as spies, all suffered terribly, and the wonder
is that any escaped alive.

One of the most serviceable watches
ever made, a stem-winder and stem
setter. The case is solid nickel,
having the exact appearance OF silver.
THIS IS NO TOY, but an ordinary
modern watch which will last for years,
and one which any person may be proud
to carry. 1t is guaranteed by the manu-
facturer and by us. A watch like this
a generation ago would have cost $50,
but the fact is it contains appliances UNI
known at that time.
In addition to the watch we send in
eyery instance a .fhandsome chain and
charm, SO that the outfit is ready to put
on and wear as sooncas received.
HOW To- GET
We do not sell this watch without
the paper, and no one can secure one of
these splendid timepieces by itself. We
will send this watch by mail to any per-
son who will send us club of only
FOUR YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS.
Understand that you pay nothing for
the watch, but send us four names and
addresses of subscribers to The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE with 81 for each sub
scriber, who will receive the paper for
one year, and we9will send you tile
watch, chain and charm, postpaid, to
your address absolutely free of charge.
In addition, both yourself and the
subscribers will each receive the two
great war books, described elsewhere, if
you get up this club at once.
No one, therefore, need be without a
watch equal for keeping time to any in
the neighborhood. 1t will not take a
day for anyone to get up this small club
of only four subscribers at 81 each for
the best family newspaper in the United
States. See Embarrassing Made Easy D

such as very rarely
appears in literature.
1T is one that appeals
directly to the popu-
lar heart-to all who
love and admire cour-
age, loyalty, and de-
voted service. The
author was a volun-
teer. but early in his
service was transferred
TO one of the finest
batteries in the Regular
Army, and which did
some of the very hardest
fighting in the War of
the Rebellion. From

stnily engaged, and
nearly always in the
very forefront Of battle.
