SUBSCRIBERS ADVERTISING

The plan briefly suggested here is a
practical one. Thousands of comrades will
patronize each other il they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is a good time for developing The
plan because a comrade may have ad
vertising without cost if he will get up d
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 4 word, which is a very
low rate. You reach quarter million
readers and will often get hundreds of re-
plies from a single I'D.
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.
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-
yertising. Direct letter to Adv. Dept,

fertility of resources when in dangerous
situations, and great daring. When Nor

land he had sent Hines, with Il detach-

he was forced to retreat undignifedly to
the river, which he recrosSed, by some
means, arriving at Brandenburg on the
very morning Of the appearance Of Nor
gan there. In listless manner and with
melancholy mien he acknowledged the
ovation given him by his comrades, evi-
dently regarding himself as having been
a much-abused man-when scouting in
Indiana, north of the Cumberland" Gen.
Morgan did not arrest him for ''gOin' a.
scoutin'" beyond the limits, but instead
greeted him graciously, and forthwith
made him second TO Col Dick Morgan in
command Of the advance-guard, where
upon his melancholy and listlessness were
diSpelled as the mists before the morn
ing sun.
Capt. Hines subsequently became more
famous, attaining enyiable celebrity in
military and civil life.
CROSSING THE RUBICoN.
with kindling brow Lord Marmion said,
This instant be our band arrayed
The river must be quickly crossed,
That we may join Lord Surveys host "
The story of the crossing is best told
by Gen. Duke:
Just before the crossing Of the river
was commenced an unexpected fusillade
upon the men who showed themselves in
the little town and upon the boats, which
was soon followed by the sharp report of
rified cannon. The river at Branden-
burg is 800 or 1000 yards wide, and the
musketry produced no effect. The shell,
however, from the piece of artillery
pitched into a group on the river bank,
scattering it and woundiDg Capt. Wilson,
Quartcrmaster of the First Brigade. The
thick mist hanging over the river had
prevented us from seeing the party that
directed this firing take position. Soon
the mist lifted or was dispersed by the
bright sun, disclosing squad of COM
batants posted behind one or two small
houses, i clump of haystacks along the
brink Of the river on the other side. APP
parently. from the mixture OF uniforms
and plain clothes, which could be discOy-
! cred by the glass, this force was com
! posed Of militia and some regular troops.
! Several shots were fired from the gun
while we were getting our pieces in readi-
| ness to reply, but as soon as Lawrence
opened upon them with his Parrots, a
manifest disposition to retire was seen
among our friends, who had shown them
selves anxious TO give us a warm and
early welcome They attempted to carry
| the piece of artillery off with them, but
Lawrence induced them TO relinquish it.
1t was mounted upon the wheels of q
| wagon, from which the bed had been re-
moved, and, as they moved it by hand, its
transportation was difficult and tedious,
and very disGgreeable under fire. Leav-
ing the piece, they fell back to wooded
ridge 500 or 600 yards from the river
bank and parallel with 1t. The I'd KY
and 9th Tenn. were Immediately put
across the river, leaving their horses Oh
the Kentucky shore, and formed under
the bluff bank. As they ascended the
hank thpy rspra -erreptnd hy valley from
the enemy, which did no damage, and Col
Ward and Maj. Webber at once pressed
Oh toward the ridge.

A RIVER GUNBoAT.

Scarcely had the boats returned, and
while yet the two regiments on the other
side were moving across the open fields
between the river and the ridge, when
small boat, which had for some min
utes been in sight, steaming rapidly down
the river, began TO take a part in the af-
fair. We had watched her with great in
terest, and were inclined TO think, from
her bold and unhesitating advance, that
she was a river gunboat, and when she
came within a mile of the town all doubts
upon the subject were dispeled. Sud
denly checking her way, she tossed her
snub nose defantly, like an angry beauty
of the coal-pits, sidled a little toward the
town, and commenced to scold. A blush
white, funnel-shaped cloud spouted out
from her left-hand bow and a shot flew at
the town, and then changing front forward
again she snapped a shell ut the men on
the other side. However. the ridge was
soon gained by the regiments, the enemy
not remaining TO contest it, and they were
sheltered by it from the gunboat's fire.

Don Mariana had withdrawn into the
presence of his wife. She stood in n
large bedroom whose brick floor red
and blue carpet concealed. The canvas
ceiling, decorated to match the painted
walls, heaved gently up and down in
answer to breeze which filtered
through unseen tiles above. A huge
painting Of Porfrio Diaz hung between
windows. A brass imported bedstead.
draped, was even less beautiful than
the counterpane of pink silk. Chairs of
black Austrian bent wood impeded the
somewhat boorish progress of the
treasurer. He halted in the rooms
middle, his arms half buried in trousers
pockets, his round head lowered pugna-
ciously. "What, in the name of the
saints. is that?" growled he, burning
the lady with his eye.
Dona Maria was almost a pure In.
dian, yet the slight strain of foreign
blood had been enough to modify her
colo-. Her broad face was a grayish
white, chalky, without a trace of pink.
