SUBSCRIBERS ADVERTISING COLUMNS.

The plan briefly suggested here is a
practical one. Thousands of comrades will
patronze each other if they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is a good time for developing the
plan. because cOmrade may have ad-
vertising without cost if he will get up Il
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as club-raiser he may have 81 worth of
advertising.
The price of this advertising has been
fixed at cents a word, which is Il very
low rate. You reach a quarter-million
readers and will often get hundreds of re-
plies from a single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight. Try it
yourself.
Write us the substance of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
A few examples are given in the follow
ing columns to illustrate the idea, but
there are, perhaps. n hundred other classi-
fications that will develop, srch as stock,
schools and colleges, claims, etc.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these
columns very useful.
An enterprising cOmrade who sees busi-
ness in this should send So at once for sub
scription coupons This will get him
guesses in the next contest, enable him to
get So back from subscribers, and, under
present terms. give him So worth of ad-
vertising Direct letter to Adv. Dept,

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

Gates tho course Of the battle as upward
and Onward.
We endure almost an hour of idle sus-
pense, rs our battery has no visible tar
get But now we see struggling forms
crossing an open field directly in front OF
us and far up the mountainside. We see
them gathering into another line of in
treuchments and firing toward the timber
whence they emerged so we know that
our men are not far behind. Our shells
are once again raking the enemy's line,
which, as before, runs up the mountain
and therefore parallel to our line of fire.
Presently we distinguish little patches of
blue ut the timbers edge and little spurts
OF smoke projecting toward the enemy.
The little patches soon grow into a COM
pact line of blue, and now we catch 4
CLEAN of colors-it is our flag. Instantly
we scream with joy and our cheers find
an echo far to the right and left of us.
Our gunners are painting with excite
ment and effort, for our guns alone can
now Te,tyiI ,lie ci.s.ny, and our line has
halted, perhaps exhausted; but now 1t
moves forward again, and the enemy S
line is again melting away. The open
field behind his intrenchments are filed
with fugitiyes. and our shells are drop
ping in their midst They are traversitSs
the face of the mountain toward the east
ern slope, and find shelter in their last
and strongest line of works, where rein
forcements reach them and our line is
checked.
Seven hours have flown since our men
began to ascend the mountain, but the
result is yet undecided. While we watch
the stubborn contest we notice that the
cloud is descending from the summit of
the mountain and gradually enveloping
friend and foe. At length both lines are
blotted from our sight and our battery
becomes silent and useless.

war Mads by Rule.
CThe london TRUTH

An officer now in England sends me
the following story from South Africa,
for the accuracy of which he vouches:
"A brigade had been marching with
scarcely any food for nearly "a hours con
tinuously. When IT. halted and rations
were served out and the cooking had COM
menced, one regiment was asked by the
Brigade Major TO .Gxtinguish its fires, as
they were not in line with. those of the
regiment on its right. The Colonel Of the
regiment in question demonstrated as
strongly as possible, pointing out that II
the fires were put out there would be
neither time nor fuel (the latter was very
scarce and of poor quality to get the
cooking finished before the troops had to
march off But in spite of all he could
say the Brigade Major insisted, the fires
were put out, and before the tea could
be boiled and the meat cooked the regi-
ment had to march, the men having had no
food"
1t would appear from this as il the
process of educating our officers in the
iicId-staff officers at any rate-was still
proceeding but slowly. The incident is of
the more interest since the Brigade Major
concerned is = professor in one of our
military schools. If the War Office would
like his name. / shall be pleased to give
II them-of course, in confidence.

A MISSOURI PIONEER.
Continued from first page.l

The Winter was shorter than usual,
and when Spring came, and the river was
cleared of ice, the boat crew prepared to
drift down to st. Louis, where they were
to dispose Of their cargo of valuable furs.
1t had been very profitable Winter,
and George McNair estimated that his
share of the proceeds would net MN
three or four hundred dollars.
The boat was ut last under way, and
they glided down the stream. On the
second day alluSion was made to the
quarrel between Fink and Carpenter, and
they renewed their friendship. Fearing
some one would doubt the genuineneSs OF
the reconciliation, Mike proposed they
make test of it by shooting a cup Of
whisky of each others heads. This was
not only proof positive of their friendship
and confidence in each other, but an ex-
hibtion of skill always welcomed by the
eXcitement-loving boatmen.
Who'll shoot fustf" asked Talbot.
Let's sky toss up a copper" suggest
ed Mike; consequently it was decided that
they should Flip copper" on the deck
of the "Lightfoot'' for first shot. George
McNair observed the intense anxiety ex-
pressed on the face OF Carpenter when
| they tossed up for shots, and when he
lost Carpenters face grew deathly pale.
He led Talbot, his friend aside and
said
Talbot, Mikes goin' to kill me. When
it's done he'll say twas an accident, but
t'won't be. Now, | am goin' to give you
my rifle, powder-horn, pistols, wages an
| fixin's. You see t I'm buried up thar
on the hill, where l won't wash in the
river"
Talbot promised to comply with his re-
quest, and swore he would shoot Mike If
he should be guilty Of any act of treach-
cry.
The whole party went on shore to wit
ness the marvellous feat Without chang
| ing feature, Carpenter filled the cup
with whisky to the brim, aud stepping off
| so yards placed it on his head.
| Mike loaded his rifle with great care,
picked the flint, and standing face to face
with the man who had so long been his
| friend, raised the gun to his shoulder and
took n careful aim. After drawing a
bead he lowered his gun and with a
smile on his face said:
Hold yer noddle stiddy, Carpenter
Don't spill tn whisky; | shall want some
| Directly"
Again he cooked his piece and brought
| the butt against his shoulder. while his
unfaltering eye glanced along the barrel.
For five or six seconds George held his
breath and prayed there might not be a
tragedy. Then a sharp report cut the
air, like the crack of an ox-whip, and
Carpenter dropped, the blood squirting
from small round hole in the center Of
his forehead

The gunncrs as well as ourselves look
up at the impenetrable gray mist with
blank faces, but we know that the fight
is still on by the cracking of musketry
and the occasional zip" of a stray bull
let. The sun disappears and darkness
hides even the cloud from our eyes, but
still we sit watching and waiting for we
know not what. Nature is about to shift
the scene; the cloud is growing luminous
and drifting away; the moon shines out
in sudden brilliancy. We look eagerly to-
ward the mountain, now plainly outlined
in the moonlight. Both lines are in the
same position as when the cloud descend
ed. We trace them by the parallel lines
Of fire flashing in quick succession as their
muskets are discharged. When the firing
lulls we are reminded Of firefies on d
Summer night, but when it grows fierce
we see fiery serpents dartiDg up and down
the mountain side almost from base to
summit.
Not only our little detachment on Moe
casin Point, but almost 100000 specta-
tors in our army, watched this pyrotechnic
display until midnight, when the Confed-
crate fire sl8ckened and soon ceased We
then lay down to rest and fell aslee,.
not knowing that on the morrow we would
find the mountain deserted by the enemy
and that our flag would float from that
pinnacle so long dominated by the Rebel
Mountain Angel.
During the battle the larger portion of
our regiment was stationed on picket duty
along the river bank at the foot of Look
out and took no part in it. Nor did the
rebel pickets on the opposite bank. Both
laid low, while stray bullets clattered
about them. Neither had orders to fire,
and SO considered their previous agree
Inent still in force.
When the firing began it was some dis
tance below them and beyond Moccasin
Point, but as it continued our pickets
noted that it was describing the are of
a great circle, of which MOccasin Point
was the center. When it reached point
directly in rear of the Confederate pick
cts, but far up the mountain, they evi-
IDENTIFY became uneasy, and our men could
see them moving about, as if in consulta,
tion about ''skecdaddle"; but when the
sound Of the firing continued on toward
their right they suddenly rose like flock
! of partridges and vanished from the view
Of our pickets. who gave them "a cheer

Eucoys = a.Ls&c Surplus
New York SunA

The proposed conference in Brussels
to discuss the abolition of the sugar
bounties seems to have been definitely ar
ranged. 1t win be held in December or
January, and oRly the sugar-cXporting
countries of EUROPE will be invited. The
conference has become necessary on ac-
count of the critical position of the beet
sugar industry. IN
Germany. AustriaiHungary, France
and Russia, the great producing coun-
tries. have gathered a beet crop this Fall
that will yield the largest output of sugar
yet produced. Germany in particular
bids fair to be so overwhelmed with sugar
that it can neither consume it nor sell it
abroad except at a ruinous sacrifice. Ow-
ing to the enormous stimulation which tho
bountics paid on export sugar have given
to the cultivation of the sugar beet this
article is now the largest industrial
staple of the German Empire. About
onc-fGurth Of the sugar consumed by
Europe and America ia German beet
sugar, although. curiously enough the
Germans themselves sre small sugar
eaters. They use only one-third rs much
sugar per capita rs the people of the
United States or Great Britain. The re-
suit is that for years past it has been
necessary to find foreign markets for a
great deal more than half the crop.
Year after year, the Germans have
been putting more and more land into
beets in spite Of the increasing difficulties
OF selling sugar abroad at profitable
prices. The unusually large crop of this
year has come Mt most unfortunate
time, for Germany is suffering from a
poor yield of wheat and rye, and indus
trial depression generally. The result is
that the purchasing capacity of the poorer
classes. dependent upon the factories or
the farms for support, has been seriously
reduced. 1t is estimated that the decline
in sugar consumption In Germany alone
will amount during the current fiscal
year to $4,000 tons. With decreasing
home market Germany also sees its
foreign market threatened. Cuba is re-
appearing as a competitor in the United
States. which during the last few years
have bought on an average about Sl2,-
100000 worth OF German sugar every
year
Although the crisis is most intense in
Germany, similar conditions are found in
all the other countries paying beet sugar
bounties Even in Spain. which, few
years ago, did not produce sufficient sugar
for its own consumption, the cultivation
of the sugar beet has been so stimulated
by bounties that the country now raises
all its own sugar and has a surplus which
il can scarcely sell abroad at profit. In
short. the supply of beet sugar must be
curtailed or prices are certain to fall to
q ruinous figure.
The Governments of the sugar beet
growing countries of Europe have decided
that definite and large restriction of the
sIIgar-bcet area to be planted next Spring
has become an unavoidable necessity
Many persons are advocating the imme.
date reduction or the total abolition OF
the sugar bounties, but the question is
whether n serious crisis may not be pre-
cipitated by suddenly withdrawing the
stimulant on which a great industry has
been built up. II will be interesting to
see what remedy for the trouble will be
aUDlied

Our line does not halt or waver: it en-
ters the wood and is lost to our sight, but
the smoke rising above the low tree tops
marks its steady advance. An hour passes
while we watch the long, gray cloud that
hovers over the woods and signals TO both
armies the progress of the battle.
Now the muSketry ceases, and cheer
is family heard issuing from the woods.
1t finds an echo within our lines. and
sweeps down to us on Moccasin Point,
where we add our voices with hearty good
will and pass it on TO Hooker's and Sher-
mans men in the Valley of Lookout be-
yond us. 1t means that our flags are
planted on Orchard Knob.
Once again all is quiet along the lines
as the shades of approaching night begin
to hide the hostile camps from our view.
Mission Ridge looms up in the gathering
twilight like a dark thunder cloud, but
we have ceased to fear its threatening
looks, since our bold movement today
could not provoke its thunders.

1t is estimated that one grown pecan
tree will yield $3.50 worth of pccans
every year. A tree will live and bear for
30 years after reaching maturity. Some
day some enterprising Yankee will come
To Paducah and buy few acres of river
bottom land or lake bottom in western
Kentucky or over i'll southern Illinois and
plant Il few thousand pecan trees. Then
he'll go away and come back III a few
years TO find himself rich. His crop will
take care OF itself, and he will always be
sure of it. 1t is very ''off- year" indeed,
when pecans are not plentiful. The only
cost will be to gather the nuts and pre-
pare them for shipment The pecan
grown in this section is finding a wider
market every year. The nut has a thin
ner hull and is superior to the Texas or
Louisiana nut in flavor.
