Melvin Coulson started last Tues
ed evening for an extended trip up
into Alberta and other parts in
Canada. If he is pleased with the
country he has an idea of locating.
We hope he may have a very pleasant
trip but cant say that the home

permanently from among us. He is
made of the right stuff to succeed at
whatever he undertakes aud those
are the young men we are pleased to
have remain in this locality.-Times.
Thursday evening of last week
the people of this locality thought
the gathering clouds indicated rain
for this vicinity. But the clouds
seemed to divide here. That portion
which passed to the east and south
east developed into, rain, hail, and
severe wind. From Lake Preston
east there was heavy rain. At Dell
Rapids, Egan, Flandreau, and Elkton
it developed some of the tendencies
of a cyclone. Hail broke window
glass and the wind ruined many barns.

elemental emotion. possible in tales that have
war for background. 1t is an extraordinary
story in itself and brilliantly told. One feels
the tension Of The Counts Hand at the
very beginning. and it grows stronger to the
very end. Its graphic realism. its convincing
obicctivity. makes one see the exciting events
and hear what is said. And no one IS likely
to imagine the explanation OF IT'S mystery
until the very end. We can't tell you any
thing about the author, l.. J. Bceston. except
that he is an English writer whose work IS as

Naturally" added the official, ut is
not the company's intention or idea
that the airship service should com
pete with trains or steamers. The
time has certainly not come for that.
But there is no reason why airship ex-
cursions, such as those organized from
Baden Ba den, should not become gen

and delightful experience Few who
try it will not agree that aerial travel
has many charms and advantages

the traveller obtain such comprehen-

Colored Handkerchief to Match

nand Fine Stockings.

This Is the age of the accessory In
dress history. 1t is by the accessory
that the wearer's refinement is ex-
pressed. The woman of no taste what
ever may make presentable appear
ance so long as she wears just what
her tailor and dressmaker give her.
but let her loose among the little extra
things which her clever and well-bred
sister chooses 10 we'll and she betrays
herself at once.
The scarf Is foremost among tOday's
little dress luxuries Time was when
the wearer of one Of these airy moth
ings met with stern disapproval. She
was suspected Of trying to be artis-
tic, which was once considered quite
bad form. But now every well-dressed
woman has whole range Of them
carefully laid away in her favortte
perfume sachets, and Is out at the
sales buying more.
There are lovely examples In all the
shops. from the useful trifles in plain
or shot ninon to the painted or bead
embroidered crepe de chine ones that
are wide and long enough to be caught
up into a cloak for evening wear.
There is quite rage for the col
pred handkerchief. Now that mere
men are having their handkerchiefs
70 tone with their socks and neckties,
the smart woman has hers to match
her linen suit or her embroidered
gown.
The Importance of the stocking is
one of the most interesting circum-
stances Of today's dressing, and 1t Is
