winning the big prize last year
this county cannot afford to lay
down this year. The reputation
the state has won at the Exposi-
ton at San Francisco must be
kept up by having a splendid
state exhibit, and to have it
each county must send Its share.
According to the looks Of the
gardens and fields the exhibits
this year will easily outclass any
shown in former years.

Bell Arouses Patriotism

The Liberty Bells visit out
west this summer is most timely
because it comes when patriotism
is needed more than ever before
owing to the international condi-
tion that is so complicated. In
each city visited on the way to
the Exposition at San Francisco,
the most precious relic of the
nation" was received royalty.
A holiday for a few hours was
observed, business houses closed
and whistles and sirens shrieked
their welcome while bands enthu.
iastically played national airs.
It's visit has stirred deep pa
triotism and means better
citizenship than has ever been
felt before. It has proven that
the people are united for their
country.
The bell is the property of the
city Of Philadelphia and this trip
to San Francisco and back will
cost the Quaker City $15O,OOO.
The official escort of the bell
included a man who represented
the mayor of Philadelphia who
was unable to leave home, and
four other men who average siz
feet three inches in height and
23O pounds in weight. These mer
were selected from among 4OO(
members of the Philadelphia re
serves. The bell was mounted

Juneau, the capital Of Alaska,
was reached Tuesday evening,
the third day out of Vancouver.
This was the only city in Alaska
that seemed to be growing. No
capitol has been erected yet but
a large one is planned. The court
house, is a substantial looking
building and the governors s
home is a large white house
which will look better when the
yards are improved. The popula.
ton is about 6OOO. In my estima
tion juneau was the most thriv-
ing and attractive city visited.
The large Treadwell mines, larg-
est as to tonnage of gold in the
world, are near Juneau. A guide
took us through the buildings
but no one was allowed down in
the mine. II
) A few hours before reaching
Juneau We noticed q change in
the color Of the water from blue
to light green. This they
said was caused by the water
melting from the glaciers. Many
large chunks Of ice, with only a
seventh of their bulk above the
water, were passed before we
reached Taku, the largest glacier
seen on the route. It is mile
wide. and about 40 feet high and
extends back into the mountain
a number of miles. A short dis
tance from it was Morris, dead
glacier, gray and dingy looking.
While in this vicinity adj coat
collars were kept tightly button
ed. The sun was shining on the
ice that floated by turning it
into all shades Of blue. Everyone
regretted that the kodak pic
lures would not show the colors.
On Wednesday morning at
eight half Of our journey was
over. We were then at Skagway
a thousand miles from Seattle.
Skagway is a town that has
seen its best days but will al
ways remain. It is the gateway
to the Yukon country having
railroad 100 miles long to White
House, and is the terminus of the
different boat lines. Skagway
is the town that is said to have
sprung to life in a night. It's
early history was of murder and
robberies but at present it is a
very quiet town with many
empty houses. Those who went to
Klondike left the boat at this
harbor and took the foot trail up
Chilkoot Pass in 1897. One year
later the 100 miles Of railroad
was begun and finished in three
years. We spent two days in
Skagway before starting back
and had time to take q short
ride into the mountains on the
railroad.
On our return trip the same
stops were made as on the way
north.
A boat journey is a restful
one. There are many comfortable
seats inside as well as on deck
and there is plenty Of time to
read and sleep. This trip is
one well worth taking a second
time and we heartily recommend
it to our friends when they take
] their next summers vacation.

was no doubt in Jones' mind that the

AS for Susan, she did have hyster-

and laughing and wringing her hands.

event had come about. When he had
not had q telephone message from
Norton In 48 hours, he had decided
that the Black Hundred had finally
succeeded in getting hold OF him. It
had been something of blow; for
while he looked with disfavor upon
the reporters frank regard for his
charge, he appreciated the fact that
Norton was staff to lean on, and had
behind him all the power of the press,
which included the privilege of going
everywhere even II one could not al
ways get back.
AS he folded the telegram and put
It into his pocket, he observed the
man with the opera glasses over the

Sheer and Substantial Materials To-
gether.
Two typical opera gowns are pic
tured. Each has the quality Of brill
lance and individuality which must
| be possessed by an opera costume-if
1t is to make it's mark among so many
other impressive toilettes. And each
has another feature that marks it dis
tinctively Of this season: that is the
combination Of velvet and tulle. Be-
cause the textures of these stuffs are
so absolutely different, one standing
for supreme richness II tho other
for utmost airiness, the effect is strik-
ing when they are put together
md in many of this seasons evening
gowns one n them used together,
always in stunning effect.
Tho velvet portion of the costume
is always in the skirt. n perhaps in
part of the bodice, though the solid
and substantial material rarely rises
above the arnpits, and sometimes
only as high as the waistline. Above.
the apparently naked shoulders, neck
and arms are yelled only with swath-
ings of tulle. But of course there is
always an undcr-bodiCe of some sheer
stuff like chiffon or net whose flesh
tinted fabric does not reveal Itself to
the casual eye--at n little distance.
The opera gown of velvet and tulle,
with pearl and rhinestone trimming
on the bodice is illustrative. In this
gown the dark velvet reaches only q
little abov the waistline. Above it
are several t~hicknesses of material.
though the effect at a little distance
suggests only gauzy tulle drapery over
the arms and shoulders, supported by
shoulder-straps of rhinestones AS a
matter of fact there are four layers
Of fabric; first n sleeveless bodice of
flesh pink tulle; then n bodice of sill
