going to ask of you. / am willing to
give you the necessary grounds, and
we can take the case to South Dakota.

possible"
Both seemed delighted, and still they
eyed each other trife suspiciously, as
ifscenting the truth.
"Why do you wish separation,
Edna?" he finally asked. 81 trust you
are not contemplating another mar
riage as soon as this? / believe you
said once was enough for you.'
She tossed her head defiantly.
II have no reason to conceal the
truth" she replied. 81 am contem-
plating another marriage. l have
found an ideal man, and he will make
me his wife as soon as proper after the
separation"
Blummer felt a twinge of panied sur
prise, and he fancied his wife had never
seemed quite so handsome before.
81 am also going to get married." he
acknowledged, finding pleasure in his
ability to say SO. II am engaged to a
most charming girl who am confident
will make model wife"
He had arisen, and she sprang to her
feet and confronted him, her chin quiv-
ering. For some moments they stood
looking into each others eyes, a strange
feeling creeping over them.

"But you are going to get married."
he protested.

II did think of it, but I've changed my
mind now. You don't love me bit,
and am ready to die!''
He couldn't resist longer, so he caught
her close to his breast, and she sobbed
on his shoulder, making no attempt to
get away.
Edna" he murmured, his mustache
close to her shapely little ear; 1--WE
have been deceiving ourselves. We
care more for each other than for all
the rest of the world! We ought to
live happily together. Let's try it over

She lifted her smiling, tear-stained
face and he kissed her dainty mouth.

In case that is guarded by the Zu-
lus is collection of what might be
taken for ordinary crystals, but which
in reality are diamonds in the rough,
aggregating in value somewhere near
one million dollars. The clay that is
to be worked is put up in strong sacks
and is as jealously guarded as any
other portion of the exhibit.
This is indeed wonderful sight and
one that will draw to the Mining
building a great many people who
have read all about the production of
diamonds but have never had an oppor-
tunity OF witnessing the operation.

JuNE'S FLORAL DISPLAY.
|" Uncle John" Thorpe Provides Fine
Programme for the Month.

"Uncle John" Thorpe Provides Fine
Programme for the Month.
June is fine month for flowers as
as well as for weddings and will not
be ignored by "Uncle John" Thorpe
and his assistants. During the latter
part of May the great flower beds about
the big greenhouses have blossomed
with display of pansies and tulips
that have challenged the admiration of
observers.
This month the pansies will be in all
their glory. Tulips viii be about out,
but there are many other flowers to
take their place. Peonies will be out
in the greatest profusion. The big red
and white blossoms will make the
flower beds about the greenhouses look
like natural carpets. On the wooded
island all the hardy Towering plants
will be in bloom and that will be the
prettiest spot in the fair grounds.
Roses will not be forgotten. nor will
they be missed in the floral display for
the month. The great variety of the
flower affords an opportunity for un-
commonly fine displays, and the chances
will be made the most Of Designs will
be worked out in them, and the display
will be literally 'acres of roses"
Rhododendrons are flowers of great
beauty and adaptibility for display
work, and they will be found by their
admirers in profusion. So will the
campanulas, pretty, bell-shaped blue
flowers. So far no particular displays
have been arranged for special days,
but later such plans will be matured.
All in all, the floral features for the
month of June will be unexcelled dur
ing the time of the fair, 1t will be the
month par excellence for lovers OF
nature in flowers and foliage to go to
jackson mark

JAPAN'S FINE ART.
Oriental Paintings That Were Recently
Opened to the Public.


The opening of the Japanese exhibit
in the Palace of Fine Arts few days
ago drew a great many people, who
went away delighted as well as aston
ished at what they saw.
The entrance to the exhibit is guarded
on one side by great bronze eagle, on
the other by bronze cast of a protect
ing deity. A bas-relief of dragons in
clouds, done in bronze, stands just be-
yond, and near by is representation
of the Kasaka pagoda, an exquisite
piece of carving. At the entrance
hangs magnificent tapestry of sillen
chrysanthemums, and painting OF
carps by Tukok, greatest of japanese
artists.
Just beyond the sillen hangings OF
the entrance is huge gorilla carved in
cherry wood. Cases containing cary
irgs in ivory and wood of favorite
deities and heroes occupy the center OF
the room, while the walls are hung
with tapestry and paintings on silk OF
paper.
The most noticeable pictures are
those of the sacred mountain Fuji-san,
one being of the top veiled in mist, and
the other in cloisonne work of the mist
clearing away.
A magnificent bronze Is that of q
stump with rooster perched upon it.
while on the ground beside it is the old
hen with her brood. The long tai
feathers in bronze are supple enough tc
have been transferred from the living
to the bronze fowl.
The entire exhibition is revelation
in japanese art.

How the Little Turks Behave.

There are ten little Turks in the
Turkish village of the worlds fair.
Yet if you could pay visit to the
house where they are living, you would
refuse to believe that there is child in
the neighborhood. All is perfectly
quiet, and you never hear a sound to
tell you that there are any fun-loving
boys and girls in this little Turkey-in-
America. Now this is not because
Turkish children are stupid or do not
know how to enjoy themselves. 1t is
simply because their way of having a
good time is different from ours, as

Mrs. Blummer went away to re-
mote little resort amid the mountains,
where she could spend a quiet summer.
She stopped at picturesque old hotel,
where she was known as a widow, as
It happened she affected black. And a
very CAV little widow she made, for she
was determined to obtain utter forget
fulness in the pleasure to be extracted
from the passing moment.
And SO it came about that she made
the acquaintance of a perfectly lovely
old doctor who took great interest IN
her. He was so very kind and attentive
that he seemed like father to her.
Day after day Mrs. Hummer and the
doctor were seen together, and 1t was
not long before the other guests began
to gossip mildly about them.
.'she is awfully lucky" declared one
gushing young thing. He is really in
earnest, and he's so awfully riehl No
sensible girl would mind his age, for
he's awfully handsome. But it's al
ways the widows who make the lucky
catches"

"On this point observed Blummer,
icily, "we seem to have no difference of

in ever imagining we cared for each
other enough to-"
You are right" the little woman
broke in, determined he should not gain
the least advantage. ''It was very silly
gret it." ~
II made a blooming idiot of myself"
Hummer brutally declared. "But, then,
you were a rather pretty and stylish
girl when met you at"
"Oh, You are really growing compli-
mentary! So was rather pretty and

Then he very deliberately attempted
to take drink of coffee from his egg

There is remedy for our wretched-
ness!' exclaimed the little woman, de-
cidedly, look of resolution on her
flushed face.
'Yes," he nodded. "The remedy is
separation. Itwould be glorious thing
to be a free man again"
She leaped to her feet.
