eral others representing the Agricul-
tural Engineering Association.
The arrival of the presidential
party back in the Black Hills yes
terday morning at 5:45 o'clock was
considerably earlier than the popu-
lace of the Summer capital had eX-
pected, and only few persons were
at the railroad station at Custer to
extend a greeting. Plans are under
way today to give the President and
Mrs. Coolidge n welcome some time
this week. They call for the closing
of all stores and other places of
business for one hour. While resi-

side adjacent, headed by Mayor V. T.
Jepson of this place. congregate in
the broad street in front of the

family from attending church in Her.
mosa yesterday morning. The after
noon was spent resting.
To those who asked them how they
enjoyed their trip to the Yellowstone,
the President and Mrs. Coolidge re-
piled that they had a delightful time.

November Is, 1794.-Stephen Hallett
was dismissed today as assistant
architect for the Capitol Building,
which is in course of construction.
Mr.. Hallett was been long ambitious
to embody his own ideas in the new
structure, instead of following
strictly the designs of DR.. William
Thornton. Matters reached a crisis,
which could only be met, 1t is
reported, by the dismissal of Mr.
Hallett. 1t is believed that George
Hadfield. an Englishman. will be ap-
pointed by the City Commissioners
to succeed him.
November Is, 1813.-An ordinance

But the little goblin no longer sat

a light appeared in the attic 1t had
the same effect upon him as if the
rays of light had been stout anchor
hawsers. for they drew him upward
and forced him to go and peep through
the keyhole.
A mighty power surged around him,
such as we feel when the Almighty
moves over the face of the rolling
waters in a storm. and he burst into
tears. He did not know why he did,
but there was some satisfaction II

Was it in this house, or the next?
Where? 1t was terrible. The huckster
ran to look for his bonds-and every.
body wanted to save the most precious
thing he had. The goblin wanted te
do the same, so with a hop and a
skip he was UP the stairs and into the
students room.
The student stood calmly at the
window looking at the fire which was
across the street. The goblin seized
the marvellous book which was lying
on the table. stuffed it into his red ca

greatest treasure in the house was
saved. Then he rushed away anc

Then he thought: II will divide

FASHION QUESTIONS

ny SOEOh Uu ReUsSesuSs
Dear Miss Tan Rensselaer,:
Why is it that the glove silk underwear that
/ have purchased at reliable stores shrinks
badly and loses body after washing and
lasts no time at all
Oil City, Pa. G.. S. w.
The answer is simple. Many manufacturers
use minimum quality of silk and load it with
q solution that gives lustrous finish, body
and apparent strength to the new garment.
But, once washed this ''loading" disappears
and you have bedraggfed bit of glove silk
left, half the original weight and so thin it
couldn't possibly resist wear. My advice to
you is to buy Italian Silk Underwear which
is 1O0% pure silk. s.V.R.

Wan Lee sat motionless, staring into
space. Was it possible that she had
dallied so long, smacking her lips over
prospects, that her hunger had be-
come dulled? Or had her perceptions
become profound? Was there more
satisfaction in the laughter of the
market-place than in the grief of
women? A pheasant in full flight.
Suppose the bird refused to wing to-
ward freedom? The alternative set
her to shivering. and she knew in
that moment where her hopes lay.
She sat all next day behind the
lattice of her window, and he did not
pass Hourly, her satisfaction grew.
Would her son have fled, being
warned? Would her son have played
the coward? The question vaguely
disturbed her, yet, for the most part,
weight seemed lifted from her heart.

bands house and yet have Fate de-

that were the easier part.

bottom of the cup remained this drop

of a son unafraid. For mothers are

And yet, now that she had drawn
