himself in the eyes of the present genera tion His love for the life of the tented field where honor is to be had at the cannons mouth has made his idle mo- ments In this time of war well nigh un- bearable. Every day would bring with it a letter from somebody or other from every place on the map, soliciting the colonels service in a regiment then in process of formation. The climax came few days ago, and now the great fighter of a few decades ago Is rejoicing the war Is over. This is all due to the last letter he received. It was written by an honor mad civilian of Portland, and in it he begs most tearfully that the colonel will accept the rank of major in the regi- ment which he is forming, and if you do that why I know the Government will gladly accept the regiment" Three times did the civil fighter read that letter, and three several times did he curse in a nultI-coIored style. If that man could murder Spaniards," was his conclusive judgment, "as he murders the King English, why, there wouldn't be an enemy of this country in Christendom in twenty four hours"

FAST DYES FOR MIXED GOODS
Special Diamond Dyes for Cot
ton That Give Fast Colors
on Cotton and Mixed
Goods.

Dsn't Rhk spciliDe You: Materisl with
D5es That Claim to C,lr Both Cotton
and Wool with the Same Dye Different
Kinds Absoiuts ly Necessary for Making
SatLfactosy Colcrs on Cotton and on
wotl-Dismond Dyes Makes Fast and
Rich C.Iors On Anything From Ribbons
to the Heaviest Clotnf.
In these days Of shoddy gooSs.
when the mills are trying to see, not
how good, but how cheap they can
make their cloths. the woman who
wants to color over her old clothes
has to be specially careful in select.
ing her dye. Cotton is vegetable
fibre and wool an animal fibre, and to
get satisfactory colors on cotton or
mixed goods. il is absolutely neces-
sary to have different dye from that
used to color wooden goods.
The great success OF Diamond Dyes
in coloring cotton and mixed goods
comes from the fact that they have
special dyes for this kind Of work
that can be relied upon to make COL
ors that are fast TO sunlight. Some
dyes claim to color both cotton and
wool with the same dye. but when
used on cotton or mixed goods and
exposed to the light, the result shows
the falseness OF their claims, for the
colors soon fade out and become din.
gy, while il the Diamond had been
used, they would not have lost their
full. rich. bright shade.
Diamond Dyes cost the manufac-
turer and dealer more. but the price
to the user is the same, which is why
some dealers occasionally try to sell
cheap limitations for the sake of q
little more profit. The result is a
loss to their customers, for the Dia-
mond are the only package dyes on
the market that can be relied upon
to always give fast and beautiful
colors that are true to name. Use
nothing but Diamond Dyes il you
want success and satisfaction.
