These trunks are made of pine or bass

iron trimmings. They are long enough
to receive walking skirt without
mussing. The purchaser indicates the
position of the trays, and without any
extra charge compartments can be ar,
ranged for bodice. bonnet, wrap and
boots as well as the skirt.
These goods vary In price from ~ TO

trunks. For this trade. novelties have
no interest. What Is needed is packing
space, ample enough to keep the goods
in perfect order.

trunk. Here, too. size Is essential. but
strength is Indispensable, Not only
must the frame dare the baggage and
expressmen to do their worst, but the
covering must be weather-proof. AS a
rule, they abound in compartments with
yielding walls and strong hinges; the
lining offers pockets, cushions and tapes
for holding gloves. pins. &C. and an
choring costume or toilet; lids have
spring locks; trays raise up or shut up,
but cannot be divorced, and the TOP. Is

Tbe Fabian. POLICY.

The policy of wearing out the enemy
in war by delays, misleading move
ments, feints of attacks, etc, while
avoiding open battle, is called the
''Fabian policy" from the following
circumstance: Fabius Maximus was
Roman general in the second Punic
war! Having been appointed just after
the Roman army had suffered severe
defeat at Lake Thrasymene, he per-
ceived that his disheartened troops and
bands of raw recruits could not op-
pose successfully trained army flushed
with victory and led by their great
commander, Hannibal. lie therefore
avoided pitched battles, moved his
camp from highland to highland. and
tired out the enemy with marches and
countermarches. This he continued
until thwarted in his calculations by
the impatlence of the Roman senate.

ALMOST FORGOTTEN.
The Mysterious Relic of a Prehistoric
People.

The Mysterious Relic of Prehistoric
People.
On the shores of Brittany there is a
mysterious relic of forgotten ages
which escapes the attention of most
travellers. Far out in the Moriban sea
across which legend tells us Arthur
sailed with his knights in pursuit of
the dragon-rises little island : 1t
can be reached in a boat from the
coast only in a calm sea. A Breton
shepherd has a solitary hut upon it
and feeds few sheep.
Crossing the grassy slope off which
they browse, the traveller finds himself
at the foot of the hill, in the face of
mel or cave, hoored, walled and rooted
by huge fiat rocks.
Some arch@ologists say that this cav
ern was the work of the worshipers of
the serpent god of Hoa-a race that has
passed into oblivion.
The learned traveller knows only that
the mysterious cavern antedates all
history; that the rocks of which it is
built came from the mainland, dis
tance of more than one hundred miles
inland. No rocks like them make any
part of the geological formation of the
island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would re-
quire vast labor and skill to bring these
enormous blocks of stone and place
them SO securely as to defy the wear
and friction of ages.
How were they brought here by men
who had, perhaps, few mechanical ap-
pliances-nothing but the strength of
their bodies and their faith in strange
god?
The race who built the temple are
dust. Even their names ages ago per-
ished from the earth. Their religion
is vanished. These stones are the mon
uments of their indomitable resolution.
That defies the fight of years.

TRACKED DOWN. MyrOn Kent InStigatOr of
 His Wife'S Death OVerhauled by Minnea-
 polls Detectives.
His Guilt Is Fixed By an Ac'
 compIice's Confession.
The Murderer Says That Kent Of- fered Him S1,SOO to Put the
 Woman Out of the Way.

By the Associated Press.
 DENVER, Col. Sept. 7.-The arrest of Myron R. Kent, alias J. c. Pope. at Arlington last night, for the murder of his wife at Mandan, N. D., is the result of over five months unceasing work by the Minneapolis detective department. Until last week this crime had not been positively fixed upon him, but the charges of forgery and embezzlement which were also placed against his name on the county jail books here to- night are of several years standing.
 The murder of Rents wife, formerly Julia Laird, daughter of the great lum- herman of the northwest, occurred March 13 and Thomas Swidensky, a farm hand, was accused of the deed and although the coroner's jury found the shooting accidental, he has been in jail ever since. A week ago Walter Ehrlichman, of the Minneapolis detec- tive department, obtained a full con. fession from Swidensky, who said that Kent had offered him $1, 800 to put his wife out of the way. Kent disappeared the night before the killing, but was ar rested at Lincoln, Neb., escaping again before the Dakota officers could reach there. It has been since this confession was made that Kent had been located in eastern Colorado. Kent denies all connection with the crime, but declines to explain his absence from home since 1t occurred.
 Kent appeared in Minneapolis twelve years ago, we'll dressed and accomp lished. He won the heart of Mis-: Laird and notwithstanding her fam ily's objections they were married anC Kent was given confidential position in her fathers business.
 In two years shortage of $12,000 if said to have been discovered in Rents accounts. The daughters pleadings SC stilled the demands of the brothers Frank and Robert B., that he wal given $2,5O0 and told to start out fol himself. After most of the money had been spent in Chicago he became law yer and insurance agent at Mandan where he is said to have embedded from the companies he represented.
 When Kent was located at Arlington he was earning living gathering ano selling old bones from the prairies He had assumed the name of J. c Pope, an intimate friend. The arrest was made after positive eliminating evidence had been secured from his own lips. Sheriff Bengenheimer, O. Mandan, was present when the arrest was made. Detective Erhlichman claims that Kent is lifelong criminal and that he has Scotland Yard record The officers state that Swidensky'i confession is so exact in detail that there can be no chance of Kent's es. cape. The prisoner will be taken te North Dakota tomorrow.

 NEW YORK, Sep. 7.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Special telegrams from the more important distributing points make it plain that in mercantile lines trade is fairly active. fully meet ing the early and more favorable an- ticipations in the great majority of in- stances and exceeding them in some. Aside from the co ton mills strike and distress in the northwest from forest fires, the week has not brought unfav- orable features.
 Staple prices tend upward except for wool. There is an improved demand for money at Boston, New York and Chicago, but the rates are not as high as usual in this season nor is the SUD- ply of commercial paper as large.
 Northwestern wheat carriers have ar ranged for necessary funds with Chi cago banks at per cent. A striking feature at the west comes from Chicago, where the business in all mercantile lines has increased. San Francisco re- ports activity in all lines of business. With the ship owners in control of the ocean freight market wheat ran up cents for orders for Europe.

A Phoenix Boy Invents Handy and

 Messrs. George Searles and Grant Randall are exhibiting an adjustment for coupling two bicycles for work on the railroad or they may be used to- gether on the highway. The device Is the invention of MT. Searles. It con- sists of an adjustable coupler fastened at each end by clamps to the frame work of the bicycle. The ends are also hinged to allow for slight inequalities of speed. For railroad work & small hanged wheel both before and behind each bicycle drops down on the track and prevents the machine from leaving the track. The adjustable character oi the coupler provides for an irregularity of gauge or slight uneveness of speed without cramping the Hanged wheels on it. For road work the Hanged wheels may be removed or fastened out of the way above the machines.
 There have been several attempts to construct couplers for bicycles but their rigiditv has always rendered them practicable. This one removes all objections. MT. Searies does not in- tend to take out patent on the device for the reason that railroads would likely object to the use of the machines on tracks if arrangements were made for their extensive manufacture.

 GRANTsBURG, Wis, Sept. 7.-The fires that have been burning near here for the past month broke out afresh this morning and the entire male force of this place was called out to pre- vent it from burning the village.

 The hay crop is almost en- tirely destroyed. Hundreds of tons of the settlers hay was destroyed to- day. Clouds of black smoke would shoot heavenward. The fires were famed by heavy south wind and travelled with great rapidity.
