gowns for description Two girls who
looked like sisters were rather pretty
and dark-haired. They wore gray and
white striped China silks, dotted with
pompadour bouquets, with white en-
broidered collars turning back from the
throat, and with hats of gray tulle with
wreaths Of pink roses A striking
costume worn by not striking woman,
was a redingote Of rust-colored cash
mere over a skirt of peach blossom silk,
with lego mutton sleeves and a hat of
rust-colored straw, trimmed with peach
blossoms. Two women were bold
enough to wear magenta, and were
properly punished by looking hideous.

An Indian Legend.

Ear back in the closing years of the
eighteenth century the most powerful
Indian nations Of the Northwest were
TIE Chippewas and the Dakotas, be-
tween whom existed an undying hatred,
ever and anon breaking out in bloody
war Among all the Indian priDcesses
none was the peer IN beauty of Wenona,
daughter of the mighty Red Wing, chief
of all the Dakota tribes, and many were
the suitors for her hand But from all
OF her own nation she turned away,
having secretly given her heart to the
son Of Wahnabozah, chief Of the Chip
pewa nation, Red Wing hereditary and
mortal foe One spring Red Wing
summoned all his chiefs to council and
asked their aid in war for the distruc-
ton Of the Cbippewas. TO most the
hope Of spoil was guerdon enough, but
young Wazikoota demanded Wenona as
the price OF his support It was prom
ised when the campaign should be fin
iShed Sad was Wenonas heart In q
stolen interview with her Chippewa low
er it was agreed that in tho fall, when
the war was done. he should meet her
at The Great Rock, on Lake Pepin.
And they would fee far to the west.
All summer Wenona waited in mingled
hope and fear hope that Wazikoota
could not claim her-fear lest her chos-
en- might fall in battle At last when
the sumac flashed red on the hills and
the grapes purpled in the forests, We
mona heard one evening the appointed
signal the call Of tho night-bird. Steal
ing from the wigwam she met the Chip
pewa chief, and hand in hand they sped
toward the shore, where his canoe was
hidden. But the jealous Wazikoota had
logged their footsteps, and now gave
the shrill war-cry. Out poured the
warriors from the camp, in hot pursuit,
and soon Wenona's lover fell, pierced
through and through with arrows.
Then the maiden reason He'd, and with
a manic strength she caught up the
body, rushed to the brow of the cliff,
paused an instant to hurl defiance at
her pursuers, then leaped far out. and
was crushed on the rocks below,
The scene of this legend is the well
known Maiden Rock and is located
directly on the line Of The Burling-
ton. For any information about this
scenic line, call on your local agent, or

man was laid out aud put in his
coffin, but 10 hours aftcrward he re-
yived, and in 81 hours from the
time the doctors pronounced him
dead, the man was able to sit up
and talk. He then told those pre-
sent that he had died and had gone
to heaven, but had sent back TO fill
II certain mission, and that he would
now live for two years and six
months, and at the expiration of
that time to the very day hc would
tell his story.
