You can't measure the quality of our

why our goods always give the Best

styles and the worth of your money.
The Newly Married Woman.
When a woman enters the mar
rage relation her sphere of inau-
ence is at once extended, and her
horizon is no longer bounded by
the people and circumstances of
the moment. She is building for
posterity.
In the Joy and thoughtfulness
which characterizes her mind in
the new relations there is a proph-
ecy of unborn generations. Her
life is to color other lives; her as
pirations are to fix, to a great ex-
tent, the position and future of
her husband and family. If she
is cultured, pure and refined, these
qualities will characterize the
home which she creates. The
higher the degree of her culture,
her purity, her refinement, the
more will these qualities character
ize the home of which she is the
center. The self that a. woman
takes with her in her marriage is
her real dover. If her dover can
be reckoned IN numerals only, no
matter how many they may be,
wrecked, indeed, will be her hus-
band, impoverished her children.
But if she possesses industry, gen.
tleness, self abnegation, purity,
and intelligence, combined with
capability, she is in herself treas
ure of treasures.

That the spy sent by the United
States government to Spain during
the war should have become the
guest of Weyler seems Incredible
Yet there is nothing more true.
The government elected as its
agent man of position who had
lived much in Germany. 1t was
necessary for us to have a trained
intellect that would make no mis-
takes. His story is told in the
November Cosmopolitan, and the
most exciting pages of Dumas ic-
ton seem tame in comparison with
the facts. Crossing the frontier
in first class carriage, he was by
a trihing accident brought into
conversation with young Spanish
nobleman; presently who should
come along but the son of General
WeyIer. This acquaintance led to
his receiving many attentions from
Weyler when they reached Madrid
and the General actually gave up
day to trip to Escurial. Imag-
inc this grim arch-enemy of ours
laying himself out to please the
secret agent whom the government
had sent to find out the weak
places of Spain. How trifing the
