RAINY DAY COSTUME.
Combination Macintosh, Skirt and
Cloak That Is just the Thing
for Wet Weather.

Two young women who had their own
way to makein the world and were try
ing to make it by sewing, and having
a hard time of it, had bright idea not
long since and are now coming money
out of very simple thing-the kind of
things that usually do make money.
This was to buy from the manufacturers
the regular macintosh goods by the
bolt and make a combination suit of
skirt and cape for a rainy day costume
Tor women.
The macintosh cloaks are always too
smalharound, never as full as any fash
ionable dress skirt, and the effort to
hold up the dress is one which requires
considerable maneuvring. There is not
enough room for the arm when bent in
holding the skirts up; the macintosh
pulls and draws, and finally always
yields and tears at the corners of the
opening. As the dress skirt is held up
or let down, the wet edges of the mack
intosh draggle the entire bottom of the
skirt and trimming. The arms are
never free 10 carry anything and one
would rather be drenched than wear
one.
The suit is a great improvement. The
skirt is cut on the prevailing fashion
able cuts of skirts, and falls in grace
full folds when worn either with or
without a dress skirt. There is no body
to this garment, but an ample double
cape is made which covers the waist
fully and gives a graceful appearance
to the wearer and ample protection
from the rain. It is also more airy than
the one-piece garment, and consequent
ly more healthful.
Even when made Of the ordinary wa
terproof goods, these suits are extreme
ly neat and pretty. but when made Of
the finer qualities Of serge-fnished OF
Scotch mixed goods they have no APP
pearance of a macintosh whatever. but
simply Of a stylish wool suit. The
goods is heavy enough to need no lin
iugs, its natural stiffness making il
hang well, while the backing is of silk
or plaid in any eOlors ordered.
The weight Of the garment being d.
vided in two is another advantage, while
either garment may be worn separately.
Unlike the unwieldy macintosh, this
suit is always made TO measure and
fitted to the client. so that it hangs well
from the waist and from the shoulders.

FLAGS OF THE ARMY.
The Different Colors Borne by the
Various Bodies in the
Militia.

The most important flag in the army
next to that of the secretary of war is
the United States headquarters stand
ard. 1t has blue field gorgeously EN-
broidered with the national arms in
brown and gold. Wherever it appears
in active service it denotes the presence
of the general commanding the army or
his nearest ranking general.
In the regular line of march every
regiment composing an army carries at
its front the national colors, bearing on
the fourth red stripe from the top the
number of the regiment and its char
acter, whether infantry, artillery or
cavalry. Besides this it carries a Tegi-
mental flag, on which is embroidered a
national coat-of-arms similar to that
on the presidents special flag. The
regimental flag for the infantry is blue.
The cavalry is yellow. The artillery and
battalion colors for engineers are both
scarlet, but the flag for engineers bears
a three-turreted castle instead of the
spread eagle.
Detached troops of cavalry and artil-
lery carry small guidons, or pennants,
bearing the troop number and letter.
The regulation colors for the army,
whether national or regimental, meas
ure 5is feet long, by 4 feel 4 inches wide.
All service" flags are made of bunting.
Colors for ceremony are of silk. The
trimmings, fringe, cord and tassels, Of
all flags must conform 10 the regu-
lation colors Of the division TO which
they belong. Flag pixies are 9 feet long
and IL inches in diameter in the CEN
ter, tapering slightly toward the ends.

spearhead in the shape of a heart.-At-

Omaha show is Enhancing.


ats just like fairyland," says one of
Denver's bright young railroaders, who
has just returned from a weeks visit
to the Omaha exposition. "The people
of Colorado have no idea of the beauty
Of the display. Tho whole trouble
with the fair is that the managers de-
voted all their efforts to Autographs
and similar advertising, and neglected
the newspapers, with the result that
most people have only an indistinct
idea that an exposition of some sort is
being held. The truth is, the Omaha
show is vastly superior to the worlds
fair. It is not as great, but it is more
beautiful. The Chicago show was too
extensive to grasp, but at Omaha a per-
son can become entranced with the
beauty, yet still take in the entire af-
fair in about a week-that is, every
thing except the midway. Say, there's
a plaisance at Omaha five blocks long
and every stall a hummer. There's
not a slow thing on the programme
and the sun shines up to midnight.
The great trouble will be that the peo-
pie will not begin to realize what the
exposition is until it is over, and then
they will have missed really the best
show put up in years. There is no ex-
cuse for this, either, for Omaha is 1T
ted to accommodate almost any kind of
q crowd, and the facilities for handling
the people to the grounds and return
are superb. The electric lines charge
five cents from any point in the city,
and they are running through cars of
new design that will carry a great
many people without crowding or in
cc%nvienence. When the visitor gets
into the grounds it is usually a matter
of surprise to find that the enclosure is
ample to handle great throngs of peo-
pie without trouble, and permit every
patron to see to good advantage"
The people Of this state are fortu-
nate in that the most direct route by
which they can reach the great exposi-
ton is one justly framed for the excel
lence of its equipment and service, the
courtesy of its officials and employees
and the attractiveness of the country
through which it passes. We refer to
the Burlington Route.

DISCOUNTS AND PROFITS.

Bicycle agents have learned by ex-
perience that large discounts do not
necessarily mean large profits. Large
discounts are only obtainable by a
sacrifice of quality of material, of care
in manufacture, of rigid inspection, of
thoroughness in finish, and of the nu-
merous other items that go toward es-
tablishing the enviable reputation of
a reputable bicycle. 1t is well-known
fact, for instance, that the discounts on
Columbia bicycles are the smallest of
any in the trade. The agent knows,
however, that in this case he is buying
his goods at the very lowest market
price, but is willing to accept smaller
discount on the Columbia because he
Immediately discovers that the quantity
of his sales is greater than can be eff
fected by handling other makes, and
he has the additional guarantee that
not only can no one undersell him, but
that it is equally impossible for any
other dealer to obtain Columbia BIZ
cycles at lower prices than he himself
pays. That the agency for such BIZ
cycle is sought after is easy to appre-
ciate, and in the same connection the
reason is not far to seek why Columbia
agents are sought after by other man
ufacturers who desire to follow the
path of success, but while the subject
of discounts is of vital interest to the
agent, the quality of the discount is of
much greater moment

pressed it to my lips, as l had done
many times since its receipt, and Won
dered if her heart was still true to the
sentiment expressed in it.
The harvest moon was resplendent
and the white beams came into the win
dow where l sat in my night robe, flood
ing my white drapery with light. There
were no bounds of human life; the
world seemed left wholly to the crick-
cts and katydids. With sigh from
the depths of my lonely heart 1 re-
placed the note in it's receptacle and
arose.
Turning from the window, I saw
right opposite me, on the other side
of the room, a tall white figure. What
was it? There it stood, while 1 gazed
spellbound, motionless, mysterious. In
n lightning flash of thought Sarah's
forebodings came to me.
Then 1 grasped my pistol, which was
lying on the table beside me.
'Now, then, if this is practical joke,
intended simply to frighten me, let
it STOP" 1 said 1t was with some diff
ficulty, I CONFESS, that my voice was
hept Stcduy.
whoever you are, speak and ex-
plain, or I'll see if you have substance
enough to stop bullet!"
Ipaused for reply, but none came.
Speak out, say, or, as sure as there
is a God in Heaven, I'll fire!" 1 called
again, and again received no reply.
The white thing remained there, In
spite of my threats. After another
pause, during which the cold chills
chased up and down my spine, I raised
my arm, took deliberate ai-a and fired.
A rattle of breaking glass followed
the report of the pistol, and dark
spot appeared in the center of the
white figure. The flash of the pistol
had been reflected back, and in an in
stant realized the truth.
With a scornful laugh and con-
demnatory exclamation at my foolish
ness, 1 placed the pistol on the table
and got into bed.
Then a slight scuffling noise. SEEM
ing to come from beneath, reached my
ear and l said, aloud, and with laugh:

CHAPTER V.

On the first evening of my occupancy
of the old homestead l recalled Mr..
Morley's words and thought with sor-
row how much superior his judgment
had been to mine.
a year had gone by, a year of heart
ache, disappointment and unfulflled
longing, and the cloud had not been
lifted from my life. And, oh, was SO
homesick for just glimpse of my dear
loves face.
A few days after my interview with
Mr.. Morley l had received note from
Florence:
Dear Mr.. Conway: Father has informed
me of your resolve not to call on me or at
tempt to keep up the friendship which made
me 50 happy. until you are freed from all
suspicion. 1 appreciate the manliness
which prompts you to such a resolve, and
I wish to assure you from the bottCzn of my
heart that I respect and trust you. i know
you are innocent, and shall always believe
so. Keep up brave spirit The mystery
will be explained and you exonerated. Re-
member. 1 believe in you wholly, and shall
always remain, Your true friend.
FLORENCE MORLEY"
I took the worn note from the locket
which I wore around my neck and
