This is what it means. On and after
March 18th, 1899, the Northern Pacific Rail-
wav will start two trains each day flying
westward from its eastern terminals. At
the same time-not at exactly the same
hours-two trains will also leave its western

aggregate more than 100 cars of various
sorts. Each train will have d mail car. a
baggage and express car, first and second
class coaches a Free ColoniSt Sleeping Car,
a Pullman Tourist Sleeping car, Dining
car and one or more Pullman First Glass
Sleeping cars, so that every body and every

Sure enough, the colonel had on new suit
of clothes. The effect was gorgeous and
startling. The trousers were a loud check,
very tight and trihe short The coat was
a short blue frock, notified with dark red.
He wore a cheap red tie. The righteousness
of the situation finally overcome the
daughters gravity, and she laughed until
she cried.
In heavens name, father, where did you
get those clothes?' she asked, at last.

THE LITTLE THINGS OF LOVE.


TIE uttlc things OF love we prize
Through all the after years,
Ard. rcsurrecting them. our eyes
Beam through a mist of tears
4 fragile flower careful pressed,
A worn and crumpled glove
We somehow always deem the best
The little things of love.
The richer gifts are thrown aside
Like shuttlecocks they're tossed
Within the court of years, so wide,
Until perchance they're lost.
Fate's hattledore that wanton drives
Rare gifts our reach above
Wen not lament, while still survives
The little things Of love.
Spare us but these, Wen ask no more,
For times relentless mold
May rust. corrode, and tarnish Ger
The filligrees of gold.
The trifies all devoid of art,
a ribbon note or glove,
Wen cloister these within our heart
The little things of love.
