The Force of Appearance.

Appearances make towards of US all. A
lady. shopping in the stores, inadvertently
picked up another lady's umbrella from
the counter, had the mistake pointed ont
to her rather frigidly, and, of course. re-
turned the umbrella, with apologies. She
then remembered that she had no unl-
brella with her at all: and, as it, of course
had begun to rain again by that time. She
went and bought one for herself, as well
as one. for a birthday present to some
one else. With the two umbrellas in her
hand she hailed omnibus in Victoria
street, and as luck would have it, sa.
down opposite to the very lady whose
umbrella she had inadvertently picked up.
The coincidence was too much for the
other lady. II congratulate you on your
very successful morning." she said sar-
castically, she swept out of the omni-
bus Innocence should have asserted it
self, but it didn't. For the rightfuI owner
of the two umbrellas found herself speech

shaped packages and tying them with
ribbon to match or contrast prettily.
These are especially appropriate with
the japanese and Oriental sachet pow
ders which are SO deservedly populaA.
If sandalwood for which there is such q
fad now is used the napkin in which 1t
is folded may be of any strikingIy ana
distinctively japanese or Oriental de-
sign.
A bachelor girl chose napkins with
big blue bachelor buttons in the border
for her sachets. and tied them with
ribbons the color of the flower.
But there are some women who never
use sachet bags although they are gen.
erous with their use of sachet powder.
This they keep in a talcum powder box
and sprinkle it over their clothing from
time to time as the perfume fades. 1t
brushes off easily. but the perfume is
much more lasting and penetrating if
used in this way it is claimed. Besides
this scheme saves the trouble of refill
ling the sachet bags.

An acceptable gift for the prospective
brides engagement box is a set of
sachets in her favorite color and per-
fume. Made of silk or satin in some
delicate shade embroidered with the
flower whose perfume they contain, tied
with ribbons to match and put up dainr-

girl who realizes the trouble all those

ILLINOIS TAX RATE is
LIKELY TO BE so CENTS
Advance Of 20 Per Cent TO Be Made
Over Last Year to Repisnish
state Funds.

Springfield. H.. dispatch: The tax
rate for 1903 will be something over
so cents on 500.
The tax rate for 1908 will be more
than 20 per cent higher than the rate
last year, when 1t was fiat Az cents on
500. Although the figuring has not
yet been done, 1t Is reasonably GER
tain that rate OF more than so cents
on 500 will be necessary to meet the
expenses of the state for the next
year.
The cause for the decided increase
In the rate is twofold. First, the
general assembly last winter increased
the appropriations of the preceding
general assembly. Second, the state
received 81 1000 900 last year from the
federal government. and this amount
was applied to the current expenses
Of the state. decreasing the tax levy
in this amount.
Funds in the state treasury at the
present time have reached an alarm
ing depression. In fact. 1t will take
considerable skirmishing on the part
Of State Auditor Mccullough to gather
In sufficient funds to meet the obliga-
tons OF the state between now and
the 18th of next April, when the new
taxes will begin to come in.
In January and February of the
year following session of the legis-
lature. funds In the state treasury are
always at low tide. Next year. how
ever, viii find the cash scantier than
usual.
There is only one source from which
funds can be derived to maintain the

CHAPTER I.
The erazen Tongues.

The band major was a poet. His
name IL lost to history but It deserves
o place among the titles of the great.
Only In the soul of a poet, great
man, could there have been conceived
that thought by which the music of
triumph should pass the little pinnacle
az human exultation. and reach the
higher plane of human sympathy.
Forty black horses, keeping step;
forty trumpeters, keeping unison:
tpis procession, headed by a mere mu-
stefan, who none the less was poet,
a great man, crossed the field Of Louis
burg as 1t lay dotted with the heaps Of
slain. and dotted also with the groups
OF those who sought their slain:
crossed that field of woe, meeting only
hatred and despair, yet leaving be.
hind only tears and grief. Tears and
grief. 1t is true, yet grief that knew

sr in the coll. The wheat lay green
upon the fields and the odor of the
blossoms of the peach trees hung
heavy on the air; but there was none
who thought Of fruitage or of harvest.
Out there In front, where the guns
were pulsing. there went on that grim
mer harvest with which the souls of
all we're intimately concerned. The
boys who threw up their hats to greet
the infantry were fewer than they had
been before the blossoming of the
peach. The war had grown less par
ticular of its food. A boy could speed
bullet or could stop one. There
we're yet the boys.

ancient little city none held position

MAY LOSE CONVENTION.
Chicago Hotel Keepers Propose to
ouadrupIe Their Rates.

Washington dispatch: Chicago no
tel proprietors have answered the
charges made to Postmaster General
Payne, vice chairman of the Repub.
lican national committee. that they
are charging exorbitant rates for &C.
commodations during the Republican
national convention next June by ex-
planning that rooms which ordinarily
are occupied by one person at the rate
of IS day will, during the conven-
ton be assigned to four persons at
IS day each. This explanation is
not entirely satisfactory. Senator
Hanna, the chairman of the national
committee. has not replied to General
Payne's telegram suggesting that the
committee consider the matter with
view to taking the convention away
from Chicago. Illness has prevented.
General Payne expects the protests to
be given consideration as soon as Mr.
Hanna's health will permit.
