In our advertising columns will be
found an announcement of Ex-Senator
John J. Ingalls' forthcoming book, enti
tled "America's War For Humanity."

of remarkable interest, and certainly of
extraordinary salability. The history of
the war is told in picture and story, and
in a way that always characterizes the
brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls. In nar
rating the incidents of this war he finds
grand scope for his superb descriptive
and anolytical powers. Tho thome is
worthy of the author, aud the author is
worthy of the theme. It is published by
N. D. Thompson Pub. Co., of St. Louis,
Mo. It will be a inonuinontal work that
will not only lie everywhere read, but it
will bo a monument to his genius that
will outlive in hintory his brilliont sen
atorial career. Tho subscription book
trade and the canvassing agent are fortu
nate in the fact that such rare ability has
been enlisted in Its interest.

have to drill for a few days, having all
been vaccinated a tew days ago, and our
arms are very sore. I don't thiuk it will
be very long before I will be at home to
thank each one ef you personally. Chas.
Leonbart sends thanks and kind regards
to his cousins. We are very anxious to
be moved to the front. Camp life is be
coming very tiresome to all of us. Please
excuse poor writing and dirty paper.
My knee is my desk. Thankiag you
