MISS Meta Hellriegel returned
Tuesday night from Chicago where
she had been to attend the style
show put on there recently and to
purchase the spring and early
summer stock of goods for the
Nj. Hellriegel 4 Co. store. On
being interviewed Miss Hellriegpl
had tie following to say on the
new styles:
" hat the retail stores aud
millinery shops in a big city like
Chicago are showing is always in
teresting as one expects to see the
most recent rtyies at these places.
In millinery the vanities are
unusual For time it appeared
that the Tipperary hat would
molopolize the situation but the
style debating stores show shapes
in small, medium and even large
sizes making it possible for any
woman TO wear a hat according to
her stature Shapes allow the
hair to show and the head sizes
are sufficiently large for the head
to rest comfortable in them.
1t looks to be IA great suit
season, and the suits are OF such
sensible cut that any figure can
wear them becomingly, as at
present suits are chosen with just
as much care as to becomingneSS
to the figure as the hat is to the
general outline of the face.
Skirts are still increasing in
width and decreasing in |, myth "

party to give definite answer to
their respective pleas.
1t was next morning that Lesbia
came hurrying to the field where her
father and Ransom were working, in
a great state of anxiety and excite
ment.
"Oh, fatherw she said, flutteringly, |

might drive down to Lloydville and

definite.
"Oh, if you would, RANSOM" cried
Lesbia eagerly, and Ransom thrilled
as her pretty hand clasped his arm
gratefully.
Ransom went over to his own little
farm and hitched up the cd family
horse to a light democratic wagon,
and was soon on his way to Lloyd
vile.
1t was afternoon when Ransom
reached the little station. He knew
the man in charge and soon had the
wires busy. 1t took two hours pro-
miscuous telegraphing, finally reach
ing as far as the original shipping
point of the piano.
"Well, l declared" suddenly ex-
claimed the station man, as he took

account Of the two places having the
same name
"And the piano is at the other
Lloydville?" inquired Ransom.
'Yes, been there in storage for two
days." was the reply.
"How long would it take to get it
here?" asked Ransom.
Several days, for the two roads
have no connection this side of the
transfer belt line, a hundred miles
away"
Ransom soon made up his mind
1t was thirty miles to "the other
Lloydville." He got the horse a good
feed. Then he started on his long
jaunt. He did not pass the farm on
his journey, as it was out of the way
of the regular route. Two-thirds of
the way there was passably good
turnpike, the residue was crooked
and difficult as an Indian trail
Ransom reached "the other Lloyd
ville'' shortly before midnight. A long
delay had been caused by a wheel
smashing off in a rut. It took two
hours to get new wheel from
distant blacksmith.
"A rain had set in and Ransom was
soaked through. A chill wind had
come up. He felt repaid for all his
arduous efforts, however, in fact,
fairly exultant, as he started back
homewards, with the piano well brac-
ed and covered with all the old blank
cts and tarpaulines he could bride the
sleepy station agent to secure.
They told a great story of the en-
suing five hours, the cambridge
neighbors, for many day after that:
How Ransom's horse had fallen into,
a rut, was famed, turned loose, and,
for the last five miles of his weary
Journey, Ransom, between the shafts
tugged, strained and strove to pull
that heavy load directly into the
cambridge barnyard-a then

He told a social worker that he owed
some money at that time and he
thought he wouldn't take it from his
good mother, but he would get it
from someone who wouldn't miss it.
so he is said to have admitted that at
one time he did steal brass from the
rich corporation.
Yesterday in the boys court Alex
>ander's philosophy of one time, if not
of this time, was proven wrong by
the array Of Northwestern railroad
detectives and experts who testified
that brass journals alleged to have
been stolen by Alexander were worth
$18.25 and he therefore is charged
with grand larceny, and they render
ed quite futile the philosophy of AL
exander's mother that her Iaddie
should be given still another chance,
for the matter was no longer in the
jurisdiction of the boys court after
the expert testimony of the North
western railroad officials.

TO KEEP ENSILAGE
IN COLD WEATHER
Blanket or Old Carpet Spread
Over Top Retains Heat and
Keeps Out Cold.

During the extreme cold weather
last winter many complaints were
made by farmers on account of the
ensilage freezing in their silos. Some
OF the silos had ring of frozen en-
silage foot or more thick and sew
era1 feet high all around the inside.
Then, when they wanted to remove q
door, they had to pick the ensilage
away, which was quite Job
To overcome this freezing, measures
must be taken as socn as the frost
appears in the silo. BY digging the
ensilage away from the walls and
piling it in the center helps to some
extent, as these is more heat in the
center. When extreme winter sets in
it is good plan to keep the ensilage
lower at the walls and throw all froz-
en- ensilage in the center Then spread
2 thick blanket or old carpet over the
top.
This covering retains tho heat and
keeps out the cold air, thus making Il
much nicer to feed
