graceful Grecian garments.
They are especially becoming to the

There is no end to the silk coats n

in long effective lines, crossing and in

satin cords and accenting dots.

Hospitality With Lavish Hand.

From a London Letter to the Boston Globe.
To please her solemn and patriotic duke.
the Duchess of Roxburghe is at Floors,
where. usual, she is dispensing hospital

To all intents and purposes in the neigh

The weather at this time is always arctic
in Scotland and the duchess feels it very
much. To diminish the unpleasantness she
has had double glass put into every win

heating system was introduced some time
ago so that she does not have to suffer
as hitherto. AS soon she has done her
duty at the great fcudal castle she will

never seems to want to leave. People who

FATE OF CURIOUS COUGARS.
Cats That Were Inclined to Be Teo
Observing.

From the Seattle Post.Intelligencer.
Several weeks ago a cougar. mea surfing
over eight feet in length. followed Miss
Mary Burr. the teacher of the school at
Messlers. in the edge of the Rainier for
estry reserve. from near the schoolhouse
until she met with a forestry ranger. who,
with others, subsequently ran down and
killed the animal. Saturday Miss Burr
went to visit neighbor and suddenly be-
came aware that another cougar was
following her. She first saw the animal
ahead of her. but later she saw 1t in the
path behind. She hurried ahead to her
destination and hunting party composed
of j. V. Cook and A. Fenton, with several
dogs. started In pursuit
The dogs found the trail of the cougar
and after following a short distance freed
1t. Cook shot and wounded the animal,
which dropped to the ground and was
bounced upon by the dogs. 1t instantly
killed one of the dogs with it's terrible
claws and teeth, though Cook and Fen
ton were both trying to shoot 1t, but in
the scnffie between it and the dogs found
but little opportunity to do SO without
shooting the dogs. Before finally NOR
tally WOunding the ANIMAL 1t had nearly
killed another of the dogs.
The cat measured nearly eight feet,
being not quite so large as the cat killed
several weeks ago. Neither OF the cougars
tempted any depredations. their chief OBJ
jects being apparently to satisfy their
curiosity TO follow and observe people.

olson Jerome came to New York farm

me something, no matter how slight.
and I'll write my name on your check
before 1 get through" This answer had
favorable effect on Mr.. Stewart and he
hired Jerome. In three years the boy
had made good his promise by becoming
a partner in the business. In 1850 Je-
rome. who had developed into mer-
chant of national scope. met with re-
verses and failed. Nothing was left

enough professional and public buying
of the stock to send it up. thus enabling
