Style means several things and they all apply to reading. : Style means fashion; there are fashions in reading. Style means manners; there are manners in reading. Good manners and bad manners in print may be as im- pudent as anywhere. Intelligent people prefer reading that approaches them like a gentleman—sensible, earnest, and to the point. A bargain is a magnet; uncover it and needles will head your way. We offer that bargain when we say to our patrons, Send ug $3.90 and it wili pay for a year's subscription to both this paper and the Cosmopolitan Magazine. The offer is a genuine bargain, and those of onr friends who are not now taking a first-class Magazine into their homes should see to it that they do not miss this opportunity, ALL THE YEAR ROUND. The greatest success hitherto attained in the Magazine field must be accorded to the Cosmopolitan, jumping as it has from 16,000 copies in 1889 to an editicn of 150.000 copies for January, 1893. That there is cause for this success goes with- out saying. No other publication, of any description, before the public makes the effort to give its readers the best of everything, and succeeds in doing it as does tois monthly. Its illustrations lead the world; its literary merit is certainly of the highest order that money can buy or brains produce. Each month, from year’s end to year’s end, ¢an be found in side its covers something to instrutt and please every member of the household. In fact a year's careful reading of the Cosmopoiitan means a progressive step in the education of any man or woman in the land. WE OFFER YQU the monthly visits of this popular maga- zine for a year, if taken in connection with a year’s subscription to THE Stag, for only $3.90. This we are able to do through a special contract made in behalf of our readers with the Magazine pub- lishers. The price of the Cosmopolitan alone is $3.00, at which price it is the nts a hundred or 5 cents per dozen. P. L.

Reminiscence of a Former Citizen of Salisbury. There were two things during the war that I dreaded more than anything else, and they were the hospital and a Rebel prison. But my physical condition at the close of the campaign in '62 made it necessary to go to the former place; but fortunately, I was alowed to remain in the regimental hospital, which was noth: ing but alarge tent, with rude bunks made of small poles, and pine boughs for mattresses, over which. was spread a blanket. While I was in the hospital I had nothing to eat and drink but rice and tea, ant that would invariably taste of smoke. I got so disgusted with rice that to this day I can’t bear to see it on the table. While iu the hospital I saw many of my comrades die, and I was re- duced to 97 Ibs. Often at night I would feel as though I never would bhehald the light of another day. I had all the care and attention that it was possible to have at a field hospital. Both the surgeon and hospital steward treated me with great consideration, ‘doing all they could for me, and using every means to effect a cure. Surgeon Wilson sent to the Sur- geon General for a bottle of German afternoon in the month of March. while standing in front of the hospital tent. leaning on two sticks to support ‘my 97 Ibs. of emaciated frame from falling to the ground, the doctor heckoned me to his tent, and as [entered he said. “I have got that medicine for vou now and I want you to try it, for T want to fix vou up for the spring campaign. which will soon commence; if this don’t do you anv good, I don’t know what will, or what more to do for yon.” He gave me about a half gill of the brandy, right out of the bottle, and if I had swallowed fire it wouldn't have hurt me anv more, for my mouth, tongue and throat were sore, and I sup- pose the chronic disease had so inflamed and irritated my insides that such a pow- erful stimulant as brandy was just the worst thing to take. My stomach and bowels needed rest and something that wonld soothe and cool, instead of stimn- late. After recovering somewhat from the effects of the brandy, I went to my bunk, feeling very sad and depressed in spirits, and realized that if 1 did not soon get something to cure me I would die in a few days. That same evening 1 re- ceived a letter from home with a recipe for the cure of chronic diarrhoea, and as a sedative, ¥ know of nothing equal to it. For the benefit of'any who may be suf- fering with that disease, I will give it: Take boiling water and stir in salt as long as the water will desolve it, or in other words, make it as strong as salt will make it. When cold, bottle and take one table- spoonful three times a day. before menls. I followed up the directions as given above, and in three days I had so im- proved that I conld sleep all night, some thing I bad not done for three months. I gained strength and flesh very fast. I felt like a new man and reported to my company for duty the latter part of March, and on the 28th of April we broke camp and marched to the heights overlooking Fredericksburg, where we bivouaced for the night. : “ Shortly after we went into camp, or- ders came to Gen. Russel, commanding our hrigade, to have his men ready to move at 3 o'clock a. m., at which time we moved stealthily down the hill to the plains below, where we met the pontoon corps and carried the pontoons to the river, a distance of hf a mile. where we built a bridge at the same place we had toons were put in position under a vigor- ous fire from the Rebel pickets, who were hid behind a line of rifle pits close to the river, wounding Col. Irwin in the foot, mortally wounding Capt. Freeburn, kill- | ing two privatessand woundingeight. We pushed resoluiely across, keeping the Rebels at bay, and when the last anchor was dropped, without waiting for orders, we made a drive for the pits, driving the Rebels to the heights beyond the city. -prostrated him for several hours and un- WEST Superb Dining Car Service: 1852 — 1892. As long atime as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adoptin any advantage calculated to improve speed "and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular patronage demands. Its equipment is thorough- ly complete with vestibu'ed trains, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty-—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. "he importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island. Route?—Chicago. What other sub-Enast- ern termini has it¥—Peoria. To what important oints does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St. ul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To. what impor- tant Towa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points ?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and- Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibuled from Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be reached by the Rock Island Route?—Yes: its capital city, Tokepa, and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation, It will thus be seen that a line tapping, as the Rock Island does, such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system throngh trains are run, and it bas become, and rightly too, the popular Line. A very popular train on the Chicago, Roek Island & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily, at 10 p. m. Itis called “Tue Bie Five,” is only one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second morning. The Rock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and carries the Rock Island's excellent Dining Car Service.
