The Soldiers stanch Friend.

Editor National Tribune: When !
hear an old veteran say that he cannot
afford to take The National Tribune |
can only say: THE Lord have mercy on
you" A paper that has done so much
for the old veterans as your paper has
to get pensions for them, it is a poor
way for them to return their gratitude.
The trouble with great many veterans
is that they want some one else to do
the pleading for them, and don't want
to do anything in return. / think the
old soldier should consider it his duty
to be a subscriber to your valuable pa
per. Altho I was in the navy, and there
is not so much to interest a naval man
as a soldier, / feel that I should not be
using the publisher right if I tried to
get all the benefit that, thru The Ma
tional Tribune, has come to me if L did
not give sustaining hand by being a
subscriber to your paper.
/ would suggest that in order for it
not to be burden to some of them,
they put by two cents a week, and at
the end of the year they would have
the dollar saved up and it would be no
hardship for them. Certainly they can
save two cents a week from some of
the things they now spend it for.
Now, comrades, do sustain The Ma
tional Tribune and keep up your sub
scription, and as the old subscribers die
off fill up the ranks, so that The Ma
tiOnal Tribune will still have a good,
helping patronage. Do not ask The Ma
tional Tribune to fight your battles for
more pensions, and lie back and enjoy
the increase, refusing to send your dol
lar to help the paper along, for if there
ever was a paper to give you more for
the money it is The National Tribune.
L belong to a veteran organization
whose membership is so depleted by
deaths and suspensions that in order to
preserve our identity as a naval organ
ization it costs each member SIS a year
to keep it going. We are all poor, work
ing every day, but we do it cheerfully,
and hope to continue until we are called
to that undiscovered country from
whose bourne no traveller returns

Going Onto a Farm.

Lieut.. II. H. Cleveland. Chicago, ILL.,,
says that he is going to take the advice
of those who say that there are too
many people in the cities and too few
on the farms, and he is going onto a
small farm 16 miles out of Chicago,
where he will have plenty to eat. He
thinks that the Democrats will get into
power If the Republicans do not take
off the tariff on fOodstuffs. He thinks
the main cause of high prices is the
trust companies buying up produce and
storing it in cold storage until the prices
are high.

NEW BOOKS IN the lit
erary history of this
country had such in
stantaneous success and wide
popularity as the ''Si Klegg"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers, and these increased
IT. geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it is
far the best story of the ex-
perience of the enlisted men
in the Union Army that has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is so
truthful, SO like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
cinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them
selves at once and the
author vividly depicts it.

NEW RULE HELD UP.
Demurrase- Time Limit Enforcement
 Postponed.

The committee of the Boards of Trade Of New England which has in charge the protest against the pro posed 4s-hour demurrage rule. has re- ceived word from the railroad author tiles that the new rule will not be put into effect/at once and before it is enforced the Boards of Trade and shippers will be notified. The com mittee had a long hearing with the -railroad authorities over this rule and presented the reasons of the pro tests of the shippers against it.
 The present rule of demurrage in New England is 96 hours, and in some parts of the West 72 hours. The as sociation of state railroad commits sioners decided at its convention that it would be advantageous if a uiform demurrage rule were adopted and that it should be made AS hours. The recommendation is said to be well thought of by the interstate com merce commission. and there was great likelihood that the rule would have been adopted by the railroads had it not been for the protests of the Boards of Trade and the shippers of Ne-v England. It was represented that to be given only 4S hours in which to load and unload freight from cars without extra charge would work great hardship on shippers and merchants. The conditions in New England diff fer from other parts of the country and a rule that might do in some states would not be applicable to New England.

NERVES OF LEARNED PEOPLE,
May Be Gained by silence, Solitude
 and Sleep, Says One Writer.

af fs-
 In an article on Nerves" published in Harper's Bazaar, the story is told of one of our noted scientists who went to Dresden to consult the famous spe- cialist for broken-down nerves. On hearing his symptoms the great phy- sician said, indiherently:
 "Ach, so? It is probable that you have-yes, all the gclehrten Qearned have neurasthenia naturally" The remedy suggested was Play golf and go to Egypt. You can get Munich beer in Cairo. though it is disgusting ly expensive there"
 Silence, solitude and sleep are the soy- ereign remedies suggested for jagged nerves. Slight daily doses of the three "S's," it is claimed, will prevent a nervous breakdown, and may be ob- tained by even the. most busy people. But All the learned have neuras- thenia" is at once a warning and a consolation to the brain worker To drive the machine" with skill and care is the problem of the successful American.
 The wrietr of this article urges that we ought to thank God that we be- long to the most nervous, restless, all prevailing race the world has seen since the days of Julius Caesar. It is our nerves" that make us what we are.
