in nterest, and certainly of extraord-
mary stability. The history of the
war is told in picture and story and
story, and in a way that always
characterizes the brilliant pen of
Senator Ingalls,. In narrating the
incidents of this war he finds grand
scope for his supurb descriptive and
analytical powers. The theme is
worthy of the author, and the auth

Tished by N. d. Thompson Publish
ing Co., of St. Louis, Mo. 1t will be
a monumental work that will not
only only be everywhere read, but

liant senatorial career. The snhscrip
-tion book trade and the canvassing
agent are fortunate in the fact that
an author of such rare ability has
been enlisted in its interest.
