The
Longing for
Luxury

for the beautiful-ls a
distinctive trait of every
American. To have his
store, his house, his
barn, his carriage, neatly
papered, decorated or paint
ed is one of the first anbi-
tions of his luxurious and
tasty soul. And now that
all these can be had, by the
rich as we'll as the poor,
without any extravagant
outlay of money, the Am
erican man and woman are
bound to have them.

Where to
Get Them

is naturally the next
question that arises in your
mind. It is we'll known
that in days past the most
exquisite tastes could be
satisfied at our store. In

ing Tuesday. In fact, as it was during
the two weeks previous to last Thurs.
day dark, marky clouds, have control
led the heavens, allowing the sun, if
to peep at all, to merely get glimpse
of Earth now and then. At times it
would snow lightly, then it would
come down as if cloudburst, then it
would cease and give way to few
minutes of pleasant weather, but be-
fore person could traverse block or
two the snow was apt to be again fall
ing as rapidly as it could descend
from the clouds.
The elimination of all this variegat-
ed weather was supposed to have been
reached last Saturday. On the morn
ing of that day the sun was conspicu-
GUS on several occasions. But about
one o'clock the weather took sudden
change. The snow commenced to fall
more rapid than it did at intervals
during the morning, and all this was
to the pleasure of wind direct from
the southeast. After continuing so
for about half an hour the wind took
a sudden change to the northwest
the home of the blizzard, and the biz
zard came forth from his northwestern
or Dakota home with all the force
imaginable. In fact, it is almost inn
possible to conceive anything just like
it on paper. It showed and blowed in
manner that made life outdoors mis-
erable and all indications of one of
the worst billiards. on record we're be-
ing Thoroughly confirmed. It continu-
ed all afternoon-in fact, did not
abate until late Saturday evening.
The west-bound St. Louis freight
train met the storm at North Redwood.
The train was lead by the largest snow
plow on the st. Louis system, and it
made a determined effort to get
through to Watertown that night.
There we're huge drifts forming along
the track and cuts were also filling up.
The pillow and train staggered through
all of these cuts and drifts until they
reached Revillo, S. D., where they met
snow foe worthy of their steel and
they we're obliged to lay up at Revillo
during the night, as reported in an
other column. A trip along the road
will divulge to the observing person
huge drifts of snow along the track
and immense cuts through different
drifts that could easily be reflled by
light fall of snow and several good
gusts of wind. The st. Louis has had
no experience just like it for several
years.
The Northwestern afternoon train
started out of Sleepy Eye duriug the
storm Saturday afternoon. It found
no serious difficulty in breaking
through the cuts until it reached Gil
fllan, where Engineer Carroll insisted
on side-tracking all of the cars with
the exception of the single passenger
coach. 1t was blowing and drifting
terribly and he doubted his ability to
get through with the passenger. He
had made run for big drift just on
this side of Gil6llan and passed
through, but the engine was nearly
dead when it reached the western end
of the drift. He came through to
Redwood alright, however, and with
but half an hours delay.

Many people who are fond of fine

There is no such thing as modera

made up in sets OF to retail by the
yard. The patterns are either very
fine and delicate or very large, and
they are becoming more and more
works of art. Some of the designs are
so intricate that they are calculated
to distract ones mind from a poor
meal. An exquisite one which comes
