The Spring Wouldn't it be fine !.
O.ess Gon.,s to havea six weeks
visit to the style
ohoW setting points ofthe
Old World before you decided on
your spring gowns? To be sure,
you'd have a busy trip-to Monte
Carlo. Nice, Vienna; yes, Dublin
and St. Petersburg; besides the
places you thought of-London and
faris.
Well, the trip is taken for you by
proxy several times each year. It's
our business-we set experts to do
it. And an expert can see more of
the styles in a six-weeks' jaunt than
a traveller could on the first trip, be-
cause our buyers have entrance to
every mod;ste's inner work-rooms
and know just how to economic
time. They take in art, too, and
the beauties of the country-for
beauty lies back of style and its
study prospers their business.
We know no retail store that sends
so many of its people abroad each
year-and, hence. leadership in dress
goods and silks and costumes and
millinery and the other lines. This
isn't said boastfully. We merely
want you to know the care we've
given to the selection of the Dress
Goods for spring.

vile, ILL.,, has arrived home from the
Philippine islands. Young Vernon en-
listed in the regular army five years
ago and was assigned to Company E
of the 3rd infantry, and until the
commencement of the war with Spain
was stationed with mis- regiment at
Fort Smelling, MINI.
His was one of the first regiments
detailed for service in Cuba and he
was with it all through the campaign
before Santiago, but came through
without a scratch. After the capture
of Cerverais fleet and the fall OF Santi-
ago the 3rd was ordered to the United
States and to their old headquar-
tiers at Fort Smelling. Hardly
had they recovered from the
effects of their campaign in Cuba
before the rising of the Bear Island
Indians occurred. Company E was
the only company in the regiment
available for duty At the time and it.
under command of Maj. Wilkinson,
was ordered to the scene of hostil-
tiles. a bloody battle of two DAYS
duration during one of the severest
billiards of the season folio we'd. Maj.
Wilkinson and five of the officers were
were wounded before reinforcements
could reach them
Immediately upon the return of the
company from the scene of the Indian
trou ble5 were they detailed for duty
in the Philippines, making the jour
ney to that point on the transport
Sherman via the Atlantic ocean and
SueZ canal.
Arriving at Manila on March "a and
until July l, Company Z participated
in all of the campaigns under Gen.
Lawton. Young Vernon participated
in all of the campaigns until the ex-
piration of his period of enlistment,
and for bravery was appointed SER
geant of his company.
Sergeant Vernon does not think very
well of the Philippines and says that
he is at loss to know why this gov
eminent should desire the permanent
possession of them. He acknow
lodges that commercially they
might be desirable possessions in the
future, but says that, as it will be i'm
possible for a native American to en-
dure the climate there and compete
with the native and Chinese labor. he
does not think, as do his comrades,
that il will ever make 4 desirable
home possession on that account. He
states that the volunteers, and many
of those in the regular army as well,
are strongly opposed to doing duty
there and that il is the intention of
all of them to return to the United
States at the expiration of their term
of service.
THE manner in which Otis has COM
Quoted the campaign on the islands
since assuming command has won for
him the bitter hatred of the enlisted
men and many of the officers as well,
and Sergeant Vernon gives it to be the
opinion of all of them, with few pos
sible exceptions, that the Filipinos are
not so nearly subjugated as they were
some months ago, and that the delay
policy of Otis has afforded them am
pie time during the rainy season to
prepare for the campaign during the
dry season. and that fighting on the
islands will be prolonged several
years.
Sergeant Vernon states that he does
not desire to re-enlist for service in
the Philippines, and now that he is
ont of the army he will remain in the
United States.
