her indignation almost overcame her

"Oh!" said Miss Scroggs, in ectasy.
She had actually schooled herself into
believing her own story.
She went downstairs and resumed
her work. All at once terrible
thought came into her mind. The tele-
gram was directed to Julia. Why
should Philip wire her? What did it
mean? Had Julia, in the Kindness Of
her heart, made this inquiry? She
must find out. She found her way to

Already visitors TO the Buffalo ex-
position have discovered that the
M.1n,ac.n, lighting-up proc
ess in the evening
spee'"e'e' is one of the great
est sights. The main tower, in height,
is only nine feet short of 400 feet, and
is, of course, the center Of the spec
tacle. At eight o'clock the people
gather at points of vantage to wit
ness the progressive illumination.
First, the bulbs along the lakes and
bridges begin to glow. A faint rose
fire appears on the tower, slowly
frightening on every dome, pinnacle,
window arch and cornice. A corre-
spondent there says there is no sim
lie for the tower when in full brillian-
cy, because the world never saw be-
fore anything so transcendently
bright and yet so undazzlingly soft
1t looks not like lighted tower, but
a tower of light" The tall tower is
the landmark OF the exposition. Wis
itors have but to remember that it
is at the north end and the maze
ceases to bewilder them.

Burmese weddings Are simple.

The wedding ceremony in Burma
Is extremely simple, consisting mere
~ of the man and woman sitting and
eating rice from one dish in the PRES
ence of their assembled friends.
Many people who dislike the idea of
fuss, which seems part and parcel Of
an occidental wedding, consider the
Burmese simplicity quite delightful.
In Burma, however, young couples
seem to find that it lacks romance,
for it is common for elopements to
take place.

Special Excursion to Colorado
July 9th. Round Trip $l8.25.

We have arranged to run a Pullman

Denver for the benefit of our summer
excursionists. This will be 24-hour
run and the best of service will be rem.
dered.
One can scarcely afford to miss this
delightful trip to the mountains at the
low rate named, only $lS25. The OBJ
jectlve point is Manitou, the most beau.
tiful summer resort in the whole coun-
try. This statement is verified by
thousands of tourists and the fact that
throngs of people visit this point every
year during the heated season also
proves it. The party will probably
stop over in Denver one day and make
the famous loop trip to Georgetown,
one of the most delightful trips in the
mountains.
