In all other departments the first
Greater America Colonial Exposition
bids fair to far surpass the great sue
cess scored last year by the Transmits
sissippi exposition. Each department
is under the supervision of a manager
we'll versed in the art of exposition
building, and from July LIST to Novem-
Der LIST no efforts will be spared to
score a grand success.
The Enchanted Island at the Greater
America Exposition in Omaha this

the Philippines. In the Government
building the historical relics of the
late war with Spain and the present
war in the Philippines will prove of
interest to all. In the Horticultural
building, or Winter Garden, may be
seen the trees, plants, fruits and flow
ers of tropic and sub-tropic lands, a
splendid collection, the like Of which
has never been surpassed at any ex-
position, and which presents a rich
field of study to the lover Of nature.
Many of these rare plants and flowers
are used in decorating the grounds.

her how much you need her."

did not often dare make such sugges-

raise false hopes. However, felt
confident that he could not live many
hours, and his pleadings touched me
inexpressibly, even amid the scene

sanity at the moment, but before
could trace the words in my notebook,

ing, and he was babbling of mother
and Dollie.
Reluctantly I brought myself to
search his pockets, finding, strange to
! say, only notebook with the name In
gilt letters on the cover: Donald
Dee."
My letter was brief, only this:
Donald Dee is dangerously wounded
and calls ceaselessly for Dollie."
1t was a memorable Fourth Of July
one never to be forgotten by the poor
fellows suffering through the hot, in
terminal BILE hours, or the busy surgeons
and nurses, who never paused in their
work of moistening hot lips, bathing
throbbing brows, washing out gaping
wounds, receiving last messages, writ
ing letters home;;" in short, doing what
I they could when everything was to
do.
AS soon as possible we had the
young captain removed to more COM
Portable quarters. His wounds were
doing fairly well, but the surgeon said
the shock had been too much for his
nervous system; he might or might not
live. Everything, should say, de-
ponds upon the nursing" he added,
looking meaningly at me.

heart misgave me; did not think she

wife had died while Dollie was babe

the child for her fathers safety since
he entered the army.
She was a lovely child, with her

Donald Dee did not die, and few
days later he was taken home to the
