NOT HALLEY'S COMET.

The Bossier Banner says: Our ex-
changes have this week had no little to
say about the comet which for some
days past has been visible in the west
early in the evening. From them we
learn that it is not Halley's comet, as we
first supposed, Early during last week
this comet was visible in johannesburg,
South Africa It's appearance was re-
ported by cablegrams to the Naval OBJ
serratory in Washington and the scient-
lists have been on the watch for it night
and day.
The last previous appearance of Hal
ley's comet was during 1885. the period
in which it makes the circuit of its orbit
being IS years. As the majority of our
readers know, It has again returned to
visit us, but for some time yet can only
be seen with the aid of powerful tele
scopes. During the early part Of the
spring it can bee seen without telescope
aid, and during April and May it should
be conspicuous. It will be nearest to the
earth (12,ooo,ooo miles) and brightest
about May 49, On the morning of May
70 the earth will probably pass through
the tail Of the comet, but the effect will
not be appreciabfe Don't fail to watch
for It.

All the edges of outdoor costumes are

Goats are fastened we'll over the chest
and come up high in the neck. In
place of the pumps and low shoes or

stockings, calfskin boots with fur tops
are prescribed.
Even the head is protected as it has
not been for many season. The
fashionable turban shapes enyelOp the
head comfortably and are efIcCtual

nous. Some Of them contain five en-
tIe skins Of sable.
1t is predicted that the spring will
see the ruftled skirt in full vogue.
Even now there are cloth costumes,
with short coats and skirts having
three circular ruff1es on a silk founda-
ton. These skirts are worn without
petticoats. and the effect is slender
and decidedly graceful. OF course
such a skirt is out Of place with a
long coat, but it is a fact that the
short coat is gradually coming in.
Some Of the plated models in short
skirts have a stitched band around
the hips This is not put on in the
old time way, straight around the fig
ure. 1t is started at the waist line,
the ends Of the band being together or
crossed They swing down the front
of the skirt, around the hips and up
toward the belt at the back.
The turban in its endless mOdifica-

threatens to survive the winter and
reach over into the spring. Spring Gre
atoms in this favorite shape are now
on exhibition in some of the ultra up

worn now, the chief difference being
in materials.
There is every prospect that the sep

ceremonies were held in the senate
and the house of representatives. Trib

Citizens of Idaho have found delight

is regarded as especially fitting that
his statue should be one of the two to
be placed In the hall of fame as rep

Mr.. Shoup was one of the Idaho pio7
