treat to select goods in that store. The

That's all right, but how about prices?"
We'll, Herbert, all our housekeeping
friends who have traded there say that
their prices are perfectly fair and pleas
ing, and they agree to pay back the
money if the goods don't suit
That's the place for us TO buy in, then;

chased.)

band buried in New York she made 1t q
condition that she should rest by his
side: and in the course of time an ex-
act duplicate of the sarcophagus here
described will be provided for the
woman whose fidelity and devotion gave
strength and hope to her soldier love
and whose presence and confidence
sweetened his dreary hours after the
notorious Ward failure.
The city of New York has appropri-
ated $4,000 to make the dedicatory ex-
ercises memorable. An invitation has
been sent to all foreign governments
to send warships to New York to par
ticipate in the imposing ceremonies,
and several favorable responses have
been received. The United States
army and navy will be officially repre-
sented In the great military and naval
parailes; and several states will send
large bodies of state troops.
Hundreds of distinguished men from
every section of the United States will
be present, among them President Nc
Kinley and the members Of his cabinet.
Vice President Hobart, the chief JUS
tice and justices of the supreme court
almost every member of the diplomatic
corps and at least score of governors.
The army will be represented by Mai.
Gen. Miles, Gen. Schofeld and the
various department. commanders. The
Grand Army of the Republic, the Loyal
Legion and other war organizations
will participate in the grand parade,
ho of
guard of the state of New York. A nota-
BILE part will be played by various So
cieties of eN-confederate veterans who
are among the most sincere admirers
Grant ever had and who have never for
gotten his famous admonition: LET us
have peace"
Gen. Horace Porter, who, ON March
26, 1892, laid the corner stone of the me-
mortal, will deliver the principal Grafton
on April ~, and on behalf of the citizens
committee will hand the building over
to Mayor Strong. Remarks will be made
by other celebrated persons, among.
them President Mckinley, Gov. Black,
of New York, and one or two southern
representatives.
The grand parade will be in charge
of Gen. Greenville NJ. Dodge, who is one
of the Oldest living corps commanders
who served in the Army of the Tonnes
see under Grant. Gen. Dodge is we'll
known in the west, where he lived for
many years. AT the beginning of the
civil war he was resident of Council
Bluffs, Ia, and took an active interest in
the organization of the Iowa state
militia. While in command of the Sec

see he organized the freedmen into regi-

GRANT MONUMENT AND RI
be complete failure, Gen. Horace
Porter, who was recently appointed
ambassador to France by President Nc
Kinley, and who had been an intimate
friend of Gen. Grant in peace and war,
took hold of the matter of soliciting
funds, and succeeded in securing the
amount necessary to complete the
grand structure whose formal dedica-
ton on the seventy-ffth anniversary of
Gen. Grants birth promises to be an
event of international interest.
Gen. Porter, although a modest man,
is proud of having carried the monu-
ment plan to an issue which is graft
flying not only to himself but to the
country at large, and in a recent article
in the Century describes the Grant
tomb in detail. He calls it square
structure of the Grecian Doric order,
measuring 90 feet on side. The en-
trance is on the south side, and is pro-
tected by portico formed of double
lines of columns, and approached by
steps &c. feet wide. The square portion
is finished with a cornice and parapet,

mind anything but undisturbed, and
little sleep visited his eyes thatnight
"What could Mas have meant he
thought, by that expression about my
marrying jennie Bruce? Did she,
could she, imagine that / sought the
sister of Black Beard for wife? Or is
she mcditating treachery against me?
Scarcely that; she relies on my hunt
ing up some of her children. So will!
So will! Mag must be kept satisfied!
She says that the women think that
their brothers and husbands can COM
NIT no crilnes-why, then, Clara l hope
will think so of me. Should Mag go to
Smithville, she might ascertain that
the family of Bruce are thinking of
this matter, but what matters it to me
what they think? If Bruce stopped there
going out, which evidently he did, and
left the cook, he certainly told his
mother and sister that he was not guilty
of the murder, and that l was-if SO,
why have they not been heard from be-
fore?
HE doubtless told them that all of
