New Deere Gang PlOw

The new Deere Gang represents the most advanced
development along this line. 1t combines all the de
sirable features tending to make a successful gang
plow, with beam draft and automatic action.
A slight pressure of the foot releases the plows
and permits them to drop into the ground, point first
where they find their depth Immediately.
The depth of the furrow is regulated by raising or
lowering the furrow wheel
The lifting device is not only perfect, but is en-
trely automatic in action. The plows hung on a
double BALE front and and their action is entirely
independent of the frame. The pressure of finger
will lift the pows clear of the furrow and hang them
up six and onehalf inches from the ground.
On the pillow is furnished solid steel landslide
which may be removed by taking out one bolt making
landsdeless plow. All other manufacturers try
ing to initiate the Deere in style. They cannot
initiate it in quality

held at school house over west in the
Cherry Creek neighborhood not long ago
when over $50 was taken in, one fellow
paying over $500 for what he supposed
was his best girl, when he afterwards
discovered an awful mistake. The way
it is done is this: A sheet is hung up
and back from the sheet few feet is
placed lamp on a table. A lady then
steps between the lamp and curtain and
as the room is darkened beyond the cur
tain- the fellows stand in the dark and
bid on the shadow, and the one who pays
the highest price gets to eat supper
with the lady thus purchased. No such
party has been held in Elbert yet, but it
is reported that number OF young men
have been practicing, studying the shad-
ows OF their lady friends, so as to be able
to make a sure guess when they are
placed on sale.
The announcement made by Sears,

action of the pure food law, is a confess
ION that they have been doping their

long sleeve when desired Another most
attractive novelty is box coat of
chinchilla with the back arranged SO that
the stripes of the fur run on the bias 1t
has narrow vest of panns velvet and is
trimmed with gray silk braid and fasten-
ed with cut steel buttons. Handsome
ermine coats, both short and long, are
displayed for opera, horse show or even
ing wear.
Pony skin is the new fur this year. 1t
has been used for some time for automo-
bile garments, but this season it is made
up into stylish short jackets. 1t comes
in both the black and the natural brown
shades and the stronger resemblance to
broadtail that there is in the hair the
more valuable it is. The coats made of
the long straight hair are much the
cheapest. A very fetching little garment
is in black Russian pony skin, trimmed
with lustrous black silk braid. 1t has
jaunty pockets on each side of the front
and is set off with gun metal buttons.
Another jacket is of the reddish brown
color that nature made the skin and is
trimmed with stitched bands of broad
cloth and has vest decorated with gay
Bulgarian embroidery. A great many
smart jackets are made of caracul which
was favorite last year, while broad
tail and Persian lamb are also used for
the purpose. There is very little change
in the shape of neck pieces, and mink,
black lynx, Persian lamb, caracul, broad
tail, ermine, white and pointed fox are
all used Muffs are large and fiat and
some of them are almost square. Then
there is the open muff with skin deco
rated with head and tails hanging on
each side Of shirred chiffon or satin
muf These are lovely in white fox or
chinchilla.
Paris has just brought out two new
colors especially for evening wear. The
first is pretty pale whitish green shade
called "Absinthe" and the second is
deep straw color that shows up beauti-
fully by artificial light Some Of the new
silks are made in these shades, but they
are loveliest in net and gauze. 1t is a
new idea to trim ball dresses with band
of marabout feathers placed at the edge
of the skirt.
