young woman whom he n about to make
his wife. but regards Il a highly imprutR
able that their wedding would ever hnve
come about had not his late wife insisted
upon 1t before she died.
Those who knew the late Mrs. Eisnnanu
in Jamaica say that she was always noted
for her apparent unsellshnegs and that
this was perhaps the reason why she
could bring herself to choose for her
husband the wife who should be her q 8
cessor. Women neighbors Of her who
knew her quite intimately, and who yes
terday discussed the coming marriage Of
her husband, said that her strange re.
quest OF both her husband and her friend
could be explained only on the ground Of
unsei1shness and an uncomfortable re-
gard for her husbands welfare.
Pernaps the statement will be made
that Mrs. Eismann did not really love her
husband. and. therefore, that there was
no seiI-sacriftce, no self-abnegation in the
thought that must have been caused by
the mental picture Of his clasping another

What impressed me as I talked to her
husband Is the fact that he apparently
sees nothing odd In the whole AFFAIR. He
X It as a matter Of fact that his wife
should do exactly as she did.
When / saw Mr.. Eismann and asked him
Wnen MS marriage to Miss Schmidt would
take place he declined to tell me. He
said that the circumstances of his wtfe's
death, and the general knowledge In the
community In which he resided that the
engagement was the direct result of his
wffe's dying wish, had brought about such
publicity of the whole affair that he did
not desire any more, and he was deter
mined to keep the date Of the wedding a
secret If he possibly could.
Mrs. Eisman was inclined to be a very
religious woman She was an EpiscopaIfan
and usually went to church twice every
Sunday. She had been acquainted with
Miss Schmidt for about seven years.
When she first tried to exact the promise
from her that she would be the second
Mrs. Eismann she requested her to keep
the matter a secret until she had seen her
husband.
'TInless / see that he loves you and will
he happy with you," q friend of Miss
Schmidt told me the woman said to her,
II will not ask my husband to marry you
at all. I do not want him to marry any
woman whom he could not love or with
whom he could not be happy. If I knew
for a fact that you two loved each other
and would live happily together. I would
ask for no more JOY"
Mrs. -Eismann had been an Invalid for
three years prior to her death. and during
her Illness her constant apprehension was
for her husbands welfare.

riety of wells.
Not before this season has
she had such an assortment Of
the filmy and diaphanous face
coverings from which to make
her selections.
A special novelty on large
hats which are worn to a great
extent this summer are the
black and white tulle wells.
These are dotted either with
small half moons, or with a
tiny gathering Of mousseline,
which forms Vandyke lines all
over the net.
A striking regularity Of the
wells for this season is that no
two are alike, each being a
fashion unto itself.
While the hats Of the sum-
mer girl are larger than ever
this year, at the same time
they have never been more
simple. On account Of this
simplicity they are harder for
the girl who designs her own
hats, for the milliners have ar
rived at the very zenith in the
art of producing very striking
results by the most simple ex-
pedient of outline.
This year hats are worn

~ Of Jamaica, l.. T., bequeathed
her husband to Miss Lizzie
Schmidt. The announcement
Of their Forthcoming mar
- riage has Just been made.
On her deathbed Mrs. Eismann made
her husband promise that after she had
been laid at rest he would adopt as her
successor in his affections, the woman
friend whom. next to her husband. she
loved more than anyone else.
Mrs. Eismann was dying and knew 1t.
She had made all her preparations for
leaving the world. She had seen her
shroud made ready. She mad settled her
affairs-settled all but one question, and
that was one. apparently, that had been
preying upon her, mind for some time. In
her illness she had sent for her friend,
Miss Schmidt, to- nurse her. The young
woman had been her companion in all her
waking hours when her husband was not
at her bedside. 1t was to Miss Schmidt
she conf1ded the last secret of her heart.
A very brief time before she died she said
to her:
When / go my husband will marry. I
cannot bear to think Of his being the hus-
band of a strange woman. I wan him to
be the mate of a woman I know. / love
him dearly, and I hope the woman he
marries will care for him as well as I
would nave lone If I had lived. 1t Is my
dying wish that you, my dearest and best
friend. shall take my place"
Miss Schmidt gazed at her friend and
patient in establishment.

asked. ~ never thought of such a thing"
"I want you and no one else to be my
successor" the dying woman replied. IF

peace. I want you to promise me hat
you Will marry him. I know hat he a
love you. for anyone that I can love he

Miss Schmidt said no more at the time,
but the dying woman evidently knew that
she had won her consent to the marriage.
She sent for her husband. He went to
her bedside and she expressed to him the
same sentiments that she had uttered to
her nurse, Eismann promised as she
wished. He said there was only one con-
dition attached to his promise, and that
was tina the wedding would take place
provided the proposed bride acquiesced.
Mrs. Eismann said she felt certain Miss
Schmidt would consent to marry her hug

Now, various sorts of savages have vari-

are crude Images, fashioned by crude

has developed even In the savage breast,
and the custom of the savage making his

reason for the Zanguebar idol-dealins

Mandahalah is not Hadi Adli the

back, arranged in a big. loose coil.
Green roses are, of course. not justified
by nature, but they are undoubtedly
novel and strike a decorative note on
either a white or black dress.
Other flowers not justified by horti-
culture are roses made of gold tinsel,
and very pretty effect is gained by
small wreath of these leaves with
two blossoms at one side. the result
being specially admirable when the
hair is dark. Wreaths Of green leaves
in the hair are also favorites of fash
ion, and these usually terminate at one
side by a bow and pendent ends OF
black velvet and at the other by dia-
mond ornament
The manner of using floral garniture
for the cOrsage appears in the cut. An
effective and pretty arrangement suita-
bic for a young lady is composed of
delicate natural shadings of small con-
Volvulas with clusters of light green
velvet box foliage, while the becoming

Settling in Montana at that time
was attended with every hardship
and danger, which falls to the lot of
the pioneer, but the young Conrads
were full of courage and self-reliance
which recognizes no such word as
fail. They had come to the west for
purpose, and how they have sue
ceeded is well known to every man
who knows Montana.
For the first few years their life in
the new territory was not unlike that
Of other pioneers, but soon their
splendid business abilities became
apparent. and their business affairs
took on that air of success and pros
perity, which has ever been the trade
mark of the Conrad enterprises. They
established a mercantile business at
Fort Benton, and for twenty years
they supplied the frontiersmen with
their necessities. Their wagon trains
and steamers covered the territory
from St. Louis to Edmonton and
their freighters were known to the
settlers for 500 miles around. Their
tons, and the firm held large freight
ing contracts with both the United
States and Canadian governments.
Their supply trains reached to the
very limits of civilization and they
were known to the settlers as far as
the white man went. Later, they en-
gagged in ranching and mining, and
at the present time own five of the
largest cattle companies in the entire
west. Their ranches spread over
thousands of acres in Montana and
Canada and they are by far the larg
est real estate proprietors in the
state. The Benton and st. Louis Cat
tie company, when was organized
20 years ago. has just ceased to eX-
list, but it has been reorganized by
the Messrs. Conrad and capitalized
at 100000 The new company is
one of the strongest in the north
west, and considering the enormous
assets of the proprietors, it could
we'll be considered one of the strong
est in the world
Besides this organization, the Con-
rad Brothers are the proprietors of
four extensive cattle enterprises.
They are the Conrad Investment
company, the Conrad-Price cattle
company, the Conrad-Harris Cattle
company, and the Conrad Lethbridge
Cattle company. They are also own
ers of the Conrad National bank of
Kalispell, and the Kalispell Townsite
company, as we'll as the owners and
operators of the Big Fork Electric
Light and Power company of Big
Fork.
They own the most extensive irri-
eating canals in Montana, and thous-
ands of acres of timber lands in Flat
head county. They are also extern
sively engaged in mining, owning
the Queen of the Hills Mining and
Milling company at Neihart, mines
at Sweet Grass hills, and mining in
terests on Puget Sound.
They are without doubt the most
extensive cattle raisers in the north
west, and the volume of business
conducted by these gentlemen is Sec
ond to none in the state of Montana

Business History and Magnificent
Holdings of Conrad Brothers.
BRILLIANT BUSINESS RECORD
Of the Cattle Kings and Merchant
Princes of Northern Montana-Suc-
cess Has Been the Trade Mark of
the Firm During Twenty-Five
Years.

In the course of a an article de-
scriptive of the magnificent new
building of the Conrad Banking com
pany at Great Falls, costing 100000,
the Leader publishes the following
story of the successful business ca
reer OF the brothers w. G. and c.. E.
Conrad:
The early history and successful
careers of the Messrs. Conrad reads
like a page from a modern romance.
Their success has been wide reach
ing, and their business enterprises
have been upon such a gigantic scale
that few men in the entire west may
be compared with them.
In 1868 w. G. Conrad and C. E.
Conrad left their Virginia home with
the intention of settling in the far
west, and came directly to Fort Ben
ton, Mont. At thai time the railroad
facilities of even the more thickly
populated portions of the United
States were poor affairs, compared
with the modern equipment but the
whole territory of Montana could not
then boast of a single railroad. The
trip was attended with much danger
and no end of hardships.
The young southerners took the
advice of that renowned journalist
Horace Greeley, and few who have
made a home for themselves in the
west can point to a more brilliant
record. The young men settled at
Fort Benton while the site of the
present city of Great Falls was moth
ing but a prairie, the home of. the
deer and the bison, and where the
Indians wandered at their will. The
capital city was the merest mining
camp, and better known to the pic
neers as Last Chance gulch than as
the city of Helena. The whole coun
try was undeveloped, and the grea
resources of the now prosperous
state were little known and it's flu
ture wealth was only matter of the
merest speculation. Daring hunter.
and Indian traders, prospectors anC
adventures were the predominant
class of men who at that early dat,
called Montana their home.
Virginia, the home of the Conrads
was at that time still feeling the eff
fects of the great civil strife, which
had then but barely concluded. Man,
of her aristocratic families were re
duced to the penury of their forme
slaves. Men who had known moth
ing but life of luxury were sud
denly confronted with the stern reali
ties of life. Many young men of Vii
ginia, and in fact, throughout thu
south found themselves, at the end O
the great civil struggle. the losers i
the game of war. The young Cor
RAIDS, full of that ambition and er
ergy, which has placed the maiorit
of the national leaders in their e1
viable positions, faced the undeve
oped west, determined to fight for
place in the world, for fame and TO
tune, for a fair recognition, and tn
applause which follows the success

JabOts of Lace and TuIIe-Smart
Hats.
In the world of millinery the changes
are not so great as one might have ex-
pected. In fact, the shapes have varied
but little. 1t is curious how women
remain faithful to the wide, f1attened
boat shape. On all sides at present are
models of it in white cloth draped with
beautiful lace and the inevitable dia-
mond or pearl buckle. 1t is a very COM
Portable form of toque, and nobody
looks particularly plain in it, but, on
the other hand, it is not particularly
becoming, added to which it undoubt-
edly ages a face. 1t requires a piquant
style of beauty to make the boat shape
really successful.
There is a small edition of the Gains
borough style coming in which will be
