LOST FAITH IN HIS TAILOR.
A Gentleman of the Old School
Whose Clothes Were a Triae
Too Loud,

Col. Tarker is staid old West side citi-
zen who has made fortune in land. He is
an aristocrat Of the old southern school,,
courtly and impressive. His collars are
made in the fashion Of so years ago, and his
what New Englanders call "a bit near" He
has his clothes made by cheap tailor. They
are always modest, respectable black of re-
marka bic pattern and fit. But they suit the
colonel. One day last week he walked over
to visit his daughter living on Prairie av-
enue;
t'What makes you look at me so serious
ly?" he asked, presently, guiltily self-con-
sclous; 49,,
Why, father; what have you been doing
Nothing, daughter, nothing. II have
on new suit of clothes"
Sure enough, the colonel had on new suit
of clothes. The effect was gorgeous and
startling. The trousers were loud check,
very tight and trile short. The coat was
!. He wore 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.
"Wartz made them. He-he said checks
were stylish, and the cloth came cheap, and
IL said | wasn't particular, you know;
never am"
The mild and dignifed old gentleman had
transformed himself into comic valentine
without knowing it. His faith in Wartz is
now somewhat shaken, and he has donned
an old suit.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
IA Trains Each Day.
This is what it means. On and after
March 18th, 1899, the Northern Pacific Rail-
way 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 it's western
terminals for the east. There will then be-
each day, moving over the 1900 miles of
main track between St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth at the east, and Seattle, Ia
| coma and Portland on the Pacific Coast,
FOURTEEN OF THESE TRANSIT both direc-
tlons-going at the same time, and this in
country where 20 years ago the buffalo
were roaming. These trains will be known
as No. l the Puget Sound Limited, No. 8
the Oregon Limited going west, and No. 2
the Twin City Mail, No. the Twin City Ex-
press, going east, and will contain in the
aggregate more than 100 cars of various
sorts. Each train will have mail car, a
baggage and express car, first and second
class coaches, a Free Colonist Sleeping Car,
Pullman Tourist Sleeping car, Dining
car and one or more Pullman First Glass
Sleeping cars, SO that everybody and every
body's pocketbook can be accommodated
The Dining cars are a part of the solid
through trains, and no one need therefore
60 hungry.
Train No. l will leave St. Paul at IS a.
M; train No. 3 at 10:45 p. NJ; after all
trains have arrived from the east and south,
morning and evening. Train No. will
leave Portland at IL 80 g. M, and train No.
4 at II go p. M, arriving at St. Paul 200 p
M and 7'So a. M, respectively, in time for
all departing trains eastward. One train
goes via Helena, Mont. and one via Butte
in each direction. These trains run through
the most important cities Of the northwest,
and are hauled by new and enormous
Schenectady locomotives, making, when
necessary, Is or 80 miles an hour.
These diurnal trains will amply accom-
modate the large immigration and tourist
travelt that seems probable this year.
During the Yellowstone Park season one
train in each direction will carry Pullman
First Class Sleeping Car, especially for
Park travel

may be addressed to any Northern Pacific
