Ism 1t true that lady Will
hesitate longer over the pur-
chase Of a CLOAK, MANTLE
or WRAP than over almost
anything else?
There is a reason for it, and
we think a very good one, too.
In the first place this outer
garment is obliged to do duty
under all sorts of conditions.
it is worn at church, at the
concert or lecture, to call on
your dearest friend or to ride
in your carriage and to walk
whittier you will.
1t is worn with all sorts of
dresses, no matter how many,
nor how radically different your
bonnet-the same outer gar
ment must do duty for all.
1t is important, then, that
you should hesitate and con-
slider your purchase.
We have in our cloak-room
assistants enough to give you
all attention this spring, and
we are sure you will give them
all they can well do in dis
playing the elegant garments
planned for YOU
1t is quite natural for us
to mention some garments at
seemingly high prices, because
we always have and always will
keep the 'costliest goods for
the many who desire them.
We have, therefore, SILK
MANTLES, richly ornament
ed with lace and jet, for early
spring-they are very beautiful
garments, we assure you-at
$4,000 up to $4,000.
We have Nantes of FINE
CAMELS' HAIR, with narrow
corded braid ornamentation
around the neck and down
the back, edged with rich black
lace in front and around the
bottom, and standing collars.
jackets, and no end to the
number, no end to the styles,
no end to the colors, no end
to the kinds Of fabrics-in fact,
Jackets for everybody.
We have them in COVERT
And in WHIPCORD.
They are in STRIPES;
Also in MIXTURES.
Good, sensible, useful, all
the-season-round and go-ev-
erywhere kind of garment.
We have them for $500, for
$3.50 and S 90; and then you
keep right on adding so cts
until you reach $500 for the
best and richest we show.
Then, sure as you live, here
are the recognized old-standard
and never-beaten Jerseys from
S3.75 to SI2.oo.
Newmarkets also, in solid
colors, stripes and mixes, from
$3.50 to $1,000.
And the finest line of colored
Wraps produced from $1,000
to $500.
And THE VERY CUTEST
of Wraps, mighty little cloth,
lots of netted fringe and orna-
mentation; fronts come down
just below the waist line.
If you want to make your
own, go to the silk counter on
first floor and call for the new

from the ground. Stacks or ricks OF
hay designed for keeping should be
very carefully made and covered with
long slough grass or ryo straw after
they have settled. They should be
built where they are not exposed to the
prevailing high winds or to fires. TO
guard against prairie fires several fur
rows should be plowed around them.
Farmers who have sufficient barn room
will find no difficulty in keeping timo-
thy and clover hay for more than one
year.
Moving machines. horse.rakes and
other haying utensils should be put in
order before the time for using them
arrives. If extra pieces are needed
they should DO ordered at once. Re-
pairs made by local mechanics can not
be attended to with too great prompt
ness. as there will be a press of work
IN all the shops as soon as haying
commences. A farmers time Is very
valuable during hay harvest, and he
cannot afford to wait to have tools re-
paired. Every farmer should have at
least one good hand scythe. 1t should
be used for cutting grass near fences.
among trees and stones. and in places
where it has fallen down. Most of
the injuries to moving machines come
from using them in places where they
should never be operated. They were
not designed to cut grass that grows
close to fences, trees. aud rocks. or

Several reports of death from hand
ling animals diseased with CHAMBERS or
blackleg are reported. If the virus of
these contagious diseases enters the
blood through scratch or wound,
blood poisoning and a frightful death
follow. This fact is not generally
known. and it ought to be carefully
borne in mind. and neighbors ignorant
OF the nature of these diseases eau

Discipline In the Army.

heard yesterday remark
able story of United States
army discipline. A certain command
ing officer In one of our lonely military
outposts entertained great aversion
to a subaltern under his command
1t was an open secret that this COM
handing officer had, on more than
one occasion, expressed his intention
of running the young fellow. The
threat was not needed; but some time
afterward the little post was astonished
to learn that it was the intention of
the commanding officer to hold a
court-martial upon this officer for
having been drunk while on duty.
This amazed civilian and soldier, as it
was well known that the accused was
no more guilty of drunkenness than
any of the other officers. But the fla
went forth, and officers from other
garrisons were summoned to attend
the court-martial. They assembled at
his post and all proceeded to get most
uproariously drunk. Their sprees
lasted so long that it was impossible
to hold the court martial, and, as far
as l could learn, the proceedings were
summary dropped. If that officer is
wise he will ask to be transferred, and
If he has the bravery he should take
an early opportunity to expose his
sample of military life in the distant
outposts of the West.-San Francisco

The Hay Harvest.

From present appearances the hay
crop will be very large this season
throughout the northwest if not in all
parts of the country. There are re.
ports that timothy and clover were
killed in some places BY the drought
of last summer and the cold OF last
inter-. but such complaints are not
general. The season thus far, which
has been unfavorable for planting and
sowing. has been most favorable for
growth of grass The temperature
has been cool and the soil IS weA sup

Our Fritz" and the soldIers.

One morning in 1859 was march
ing with my comrades along the road
between Sans Souci and the Granger
iehaus. We had just arrived at the
broad avenue which leads from the
new palace into the road when the
Crown Prince and his family appeared
In sight, little Prince William in a
pannier on donkey led by nurse,
the Crown Prince and Princess arm-in-
arm behind him.
When the Crown Prince perceived
us he called out "Liebenau, let your
company halt a moment"
Then he stepped up TO the donkey,
lifted the little Prince out of his pan
nier and came toward us.
"Good morning, Children" said the
Crown Prince to us, and we shouted
back in return, Good morning, your
Royal Highness!'
81 just want to show you my little
son." and he made the little Prince
shake hands with his tiny fist with
every grenadier. The Crown Princess
stood by, smlingly watching the scene.
When we had all been shaken hands
with the Crown Prince again wished
us "good morning." and continued his
walk. We went on in capital spirits
to our field duties.
Only a man who in his soldier days
has been an actor in scene like that
can guess what bond is formed thereby
between prince and people. 1t is one
which nothing but death can break.

heart so tender that he would give his

two he was usually far from flush.

that denomination. Next morning he
went to the Capitol at the usual time. and

IN his pocket. found the 800 bill-it was
all he had-and handed it to the astonish-

before and knew where the money came
from. Stevens caught his eye, smiled,
