heart on the mouth, ten kissed the

one contented himself with kissing

shivering in a bitterly cold cell. For
singing a suffragette song, she was
put into a dark cell, and then forcibly

It's Track is 100000 Miles
Tai F2eac

Washington, D. c. Willis L.,
Moore, chief Of the Weather Bureau,
issued statement that will bring
peace Of mind to folks who are worry
ing about a possible collision with
Hal!ey's comet. Here is what Chief
Moore has to say:
Popular apprehension regarding
harm to the earth and its inhabitants
during the impending visit of Halley's
comet to this portion of the universe
is unfounded. The result of a colli-
sion between the earth and a comet
would depend upon the mass of the
comet, the velocity of the bodies and
the angle of impact. A collision in
the present case will be impossible
owing to safety margin between the
tracks Of the earth and the comet of
some 100000 miles. The tail of
the comet through which the earth
will probably pass will be noticeable
only as an absolutely harmless lumin-
Gus gas or dust, and may produce
electrical and magnetic effects that
can be detected only by self-recording
instruments. A source of possible

Chicago.-Mirus it's tail, it's lustre
dimmed to a point below the light of
sixth magnitude star. but rushing
earthward at the exact place it's sched
ule prescribed, Halley's comet re-
turned to the ken of astronomers, and
for more than half an hour before
dawn was watched from Yerkes OBJ
servatory at Williams Bay, Wis, by
Professors Frost and Bernard, work
ing independently. That the spec
trum may show what has happened to
the apparently lost tail of Halley's
comet is the belief held by Professor
Frost.
'It is worth noting that when it
was here before in 1885 the tail dis
appeared two days before the perihe-
lion, and was not seen again for two
months" he said. "Halley's is the
only comet ever known to behave like
this. 1t is probable that the tail is
there, but is so dispersed that it is
net bright enough to be seen.

danger or discomfort to the earth at
tending cometary visits would be the
falling into the sun Of a comet. AS
the least distance between Halley's
comet and the sun in the present in
stance will be more than 54,O0O,OO0
miles the possibility of discomfort
from solar excitations will not exist"
Halley's comet was sighted by Pro-
fessor Asaph Hall, U. S. NJ, at the Ma
val Observatory through a powerful
telescope. At 4.50 o'clock in the
morning Professor Hall saw the dim
outlines Of the approaching comet.
Its position was one hour and forty
minutes west of the sun. The comet
should have been visible during the
past week, but its approach was OBJ
scured by cloudy weather. This was
the first time the comet has been
sighted in this city. On May 10 next
the earth will pass through its tail,
and after that date the comet will be
visible only in the evening. 1t will
then be leaving the earth, not to re-
appear again for about seventy-five
years.

NO MILLINERY LAW NOW.

One point in common, as regards
all this seasons hats is their supera-
bundance of trimming, chiefly where
feathers are concerned, but, apart
from this general feature, I do not
know of any period in the memoirs of
Dame Fashion in which individuality
of taste had fuller play. To-day a
woman considers a hat in the light of
an accompaniment to this or that
gown, while as to shape, size and gen.
eral style few rules are taken into ac-
count.
The prevailing notion that dressy
hats should be large, while the small
er examples should be reserved for
more ordinary wear, is being contra
dicted in many of the newest models.
Indeed, there is no hard and fast law
where the millinery of the hour is
concerned. Some hats have no
crowns at all, while others boast very
large ones; some are almost brimless,
while in other examples brims attain
quite huge proportions.
AS for feathers, there's no classify
Ing them.
The beautiful ostrich plume is riv-
aled by any number of variations,
such as the willow, the snake and the
uncurled, and yet 1t is likely to hold
Its own.

TO MARK Line OF LINCOLNS MARCH In INDIAN WAR
Illinois Representative Up Prosecution of Interestin
Historical ProjecOnly Oldest Inhabitants Have Memory

Burlington, Iowa.-Represent
Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois, a for
mer Burlington resident, has taken
up the prosecution of historical pro-
ject Of interest to Western Illinois
and to this part of Iowa. BY the do
nation of sum of money he has fur
thered the project of setting up per-
manent markers to outline the march
which Abraham Lincoln took up in
the Black Hawk war. Only the oldest
inhabitants in those regions now have
any memory of the course of that
campaign, which is not adequately
outlined in history.
The object of the markers will be
to fix permanently the line of march
and the camping grounds planned by
the martyr President. The way led
across the prairies of Illinois to the
Mississippi River at point near Bur-
linSton, then known as Flint Hills.
The march was made from Boards
town, ILL.,, to Oquawka, then known
as the Yellow Banks on account of
the peculiar coloringo of the river shore
line. From Oquawka the route was
laid to the mouth of the Rock River.
There were two expeditions in the
Black Hawk war, one in 1881, when
Black Hawk escaped from the pursu-
ers and crossed the Mississippi, and
the second in the following year, when
Black Hawk returned to the Illinois
shore with the determination to re-
main.
Lincoln was made captain of one of
the companies which took up the cam
paign against the Indians. The expe-
dition gave several names to the 10
calities along the route which are
still borne. 1t is interesting to note

HOW THEY PROPOSE.

A diligent reader of novels, says
the Wiener Fremdenblatt, has taken

novels, with view to finding out how
men usually propose, and has pub

statistical form. The one hundred
suitors proceeded in the following
manner: Eighty-one of them de-

Ribbons are playing as conspicu-
GUS part just now in millinery as in
dressmaking, not merely for trim

the hat itself.
Sometimes yards of ribbon, gath

the shape, or very wide ribbon may
be pressed into service, in which cAei
draped effect is preferred. ,rThe'
two-color scheme is always more ef-
