VETERANS IN THE CITY.

Comrade Frederick Book, I'd Mo. L.
A., Co. F, West Side, Iowa. Comrade
Book, who served thru the war and
then settled on a farm in Iowa, which
he has developed into a very valuable
homestead, producing 20 bushels of
corn to the acre, has been on a visit
with his wife to Holstein, in northern
Germany, where they were born, and
has had a<yery pleasant trip, except the
return voyage was cold and stormy. He
found the country he visited unusually
interesting, and says that one thing
that Germany far eXcels us in is roads
They have everywhere magnificent
roads, and keep them in good repair.
which excites his Iowa mind, as he has
vivid remembrances of the struggles
thru his life with the unfathomable
mud of his own State. Comrade Book
belongs to John A. Logan Post, 58, Dem
nison, Iowa He and his wife have
fine family of six children, all of whom
are doing well in life. Comrade Book
had a peculiar experience in travelling
He was unable to get a passport, and
relied upon his Grand Army button and
his leave Of absence from his Post to
take him thru Europe, and they proved
astonishingly successful. The German
police officers recognized the button and
the leave Of absence.

III. Rider Haggard's serial novel, "The

should read it to keep step with current
literature. ''The Case of the Countess"
by Arthur Cecil Edwards, has the ruby

more varied assortment of good things
than we have seen assembled within

Rupert Hughes, is short history of
one period in the growth and develop

saving Spiked Artillery.

Comrade Chas. E. York writes from
Crystal. Mich: in reply to the inquiry
of G. F. Latin in a recent issue of The
National Tribune, in regard to how
spiked cannon are repaired, I would
say that the vent piece has to be
screwed out and the spike either re-
moved or new Tent piece substituted.
The vent piece is made of copper or
some metal of similar appearance and
hardness. I served in Battery B, 5th
