my brother and myself were enrolled at
Mendoza, ILL.,, and went to Camp Webb,
Chicago. We were assigned to Co. E.,
37th ILL.,, organized as the Board of Trade
Regiment. Our first move was to Missou-
ri under Fremont. Our first march was
from Sedalia, Mo-, to Springfield, No.,
to reinforce Gen. Lyon at Wilson Creek.
But the fight had come on and we were
too late to take part. After camping two
or three weeks at Springfield, we were
ordered back to Camp Lamine, where we
went into Winter quarters. Then we
were ordered to Elkhorn, Ark, where the
hard-fought battle of Pea Ridge took
place. At this time / was sick, and had

After two or three weeks the hospital was
closed, and all of us-some 80 or 60-were
sent home on a 30-days' furlough. My
furlough expired and l asked for and re-
ceived another 30-days' leave. At the

Good deal of activity in all three of our
subscriptions, books. and
advertising. The great division of pro-
fits which we are now offering is certain
" stimulating the largest business the
paper ever enjoyed.
But many comrades who ought to do
something in the way of embarrassing never
do anything at all. They leave the work
to others who have perhaps less time to
spare than themselves. We do not refer
to this in a fault-fnding spirit, nor for
selfish reasons. We see very clearly what
a power in the land this paper would have
IL its circulation was put where it should
be-a full quarter million, and how quick
" and easily this circulation would be
reached if all comrades would do little
club raising.
In war we were invincible. In peace
and in old age We will still be invincible
if we stand shoulder to shoulder. Nothing
in the world can keep us together like
loyal support of The National Tribune.
Speak good word for your paper-it has
spoken thousands of good words for you.
And send it few subscribers-that earns
its gratitude.
Comrade Daniel X. Knauss, residing at
11C2 Walnut St, Allentown, Pa, was not
a winner in the recent distribution of pro-
fits, but we are glad to hear from him all
the same. and especially to get the picture
printed in this issue. This picture is
proof of the unexampled vfgor still main

pected they will be correspondingly low.
This does not include sleeping-car accom-
mOdations, which will be reasonable in cost
and will be announced later. If num-
Der do not want sleeping accommodations
a very comfortable day coach will be pro-
vided for them.
The cost of going on our train will be
no more and no less than going ON any
other train. 1t is expected that the rail-
roads will place the fare so low that there
will be no discount on tickets, however
many are engaged. There will be no free
tickets issued. The only advantage offered
by our train is increased comfort and the
cOmpanionship of friends and comrades.
The return trip can be made over the

Suggestions to the Readers OF
The National Tribune.

Last week our hints were suggested by
the letter G, this week by the letters d
and +. Many hints are omitted. no doubt.
If the readers trade or profession is
among the omitted ones he should think
of what the writer would probably have
said of it-he can judge of this very well
if he has been a reader OF this depart
ment-and act accordingly.
DIARIES.
A dairy that is not doing well should
advertise for n new location. Farmers
that want a dairy in their neighborhood
should advertise the fact A dairy that
makes extra fine butter and cheese can
find customers who will pay fancy prices,
by advertising.
DECORATORS, PAINTERS

year if you will advertise for it, No bct-
ter place to advertise that in the columns
of this paper.
DENTISTS.

a good dentist is needed Things are
equalized this way, and prosperity can be
shared by all.
DRAUGHTSMEN.
There is said to be plenty of work and
good pay. IGCany reader of this is a
draughtsman without engagement he could
secure one probably, by advertising in The
National Tribune. Anyone with a taste,
and perhaps a1little skill in this kind of
work might SEIZURE a place with an archi-
tect. where hebwould get practice that
would soon mako him practical draughts-
man. We understand that this calling is
not at all crowded. There is such a de-
mand that thei Government has some diff
Guilty in keepng'goO draughrsmen at Gov

DRUGGIST,
A1y druggist,uespecially if he is vet
or son of yet can get up n good trade
in specialtiesqby persistent and clever
advertising in this paper. Remember the
motto of Ourloadvertising columns: pat
rOniZe each other" Good deal in this,
Druggist wanting a new location should
ask comrades to let him know where a
store is needed, and advertise the sale of
his present store. Some other druggist
may make the stand pay.
DRY.GOODS.
Car loads of dry-goods are sold by mail.
Old stock as well as new stock can be
turned into cash at any time by advertis-
ing. If the writer had dry-goods or
general store, he would go over his stock
and make memorandum of everything
that was of slow sale He would print
this memorandum in The National Trib-
une, putting low price upon the arti-
cles, and get cash for them. Wholesale
dry-goods dealers could make new custo-
mers by advertising in these columns.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Two Men Before the Court Charged
 With Non-support.

Judge Peasley took a hand in the city court affairs to-day. A complaint against Sylvester Scovill for non-sup- port of his family was continued thirty days with the understanding that if he fails to support his wife dur ing that time he will be re-arrested and two cases brought against him.
 Patrick Curran pleaded guilty to non- support of his wife and child. Mrs Curran stated that her husband never paid dollar toward either her support or the support of their child, which is two years old. She earns her living in factory and lives with her mother. Her husband returned to town two weeks ago after being absent seven months. He got work at the Ran- dolph- h-Clowes Co.'S and after working one week and paying his mother-in-law his board, he threw up his job. The court ordered Curran to pay his wife $4 week for six months, to give a bond of $2OO that he would so provide for her or suffer imprisonment in the county jail for sixty days.
 Joseph Daly was charged with in toxication and theft of a pound of but ter. A barber named Bovine testified against him. Daly insisted he was never drunk. He was fined $5 and costs.

 This beautiful weather of early spring should remind the residents of Brooklyn that they should purchase some of the fine seeds which are for sale at A. c. Walkers drug store, 756 Bank street. This is just the proper time to plant the seeds in your garden. The seeds which are sold at Walkers s are different from those purchased at other places. They were not left over from last year, but were bought of fresh stock this spring. Just give them trial. The price is very req sonable.
