| eight years the tear duct OF the inner

oil the face, by reason OF the water OF
the eye trickling down her check, and

some eye specialist for treatment. But

A Chicago special says the attraction
at the woman's building Of the fair was
a cloak composed entirely OF feathers OF
prairie chickens, sent rs q part OF the
South Dakota woman's exhibit. The
cloak Is a curious piece OF workmanship
and was made by a South Dakota woman,
Mrs. Fuller, Of Mitchell, who spent ten
years in getting the material. Some
idea can be gained of the number OF
birds it took to furnish the material
from the fact that all the feathers are
of a lovely and peculiar hue and only
three or four are found on each bird
Each feather is held in place by no less
than eight stitches. The value placed
on this garment by the woman who
made it is $1,000.

the bystanders much amusement, took

Credie got into a quarrel owe money
matters which finally waxed 30 warm
that Nichols finished up by giving Nc
Credie a thorough punching. Before il
was over, his honor, the mayor rushed
in to separate them and preserve tht
peace and dignity Of the commonwealth
but Nichols oblivious OF the divinity
which doth hedge a king" and having
had a little ~"riffie" with the mayor In
the morning, was in fighting trim, ane
did not let up until the mayors head
was the worse for wear. Arrests o1
McCredie and Nichols then followed
and the matter will come up for hearing
before Justice Holdridge Monday, at ons
o'clock.
