AUTUMN STILE
No. «S0. This fashionable Autumn Style
Ladies’ Two-piece Suit, consisting of
jacket and skirt, is made of fine quality
plain navy blue or black suiting cloth.
The jacket is made tight-fitting with
velvet collar, double-stitched seams, fly
front, lined with high colored silk serge
and raced with black silk serge; the
skirt is made in the new and popular
tunic effect, with two rows of mohair
braid, which is applied in serpentine
effect, as shown in the illustration; lined
with fine quality percaline and bound
with velveteen. The fabric is of suffi-
cient weight to admit being worn all sea-
sons, and being thoroughly shrunk be-
fore making, will hang nicely and fit as
smoothly after months of wear as the
day purchased. The chain of perfection
has no missing links; from the time the
cloth is placed in the hands of the cutter
it passes through none but the hands of
artisans until completed and ready for
wear. If you are not already one of our
customers let this suit be your initial
order—there’s value in it you’ll appre-
ciate. Sizes, jacket 32 to 42 inches bust;
skirt 22 to 30 inches waist; A aa -gs,

Superstition as to the Holly Bush.
It is a popular belief that a holly

the house from lightning.
and heads of these graves are Twelfth
dynasty, and fix the age of the Libyan
invasion. The fronts of animal skulls,
for example, oxen, sheep, goats, daubed
with red and black paint, were also
found in the cemeteries. In some
graves over 100 were found together.
The backs of the skulls were cut away
so that they could be hung up like
Greek bucrania, which probably origin-
ated in Libya. The prehistoric Egyp-
tians, who were mainly of Libyan race,
also had the custom of hanging up
skulls over the doorways of buildings.
Prof. Petrie remarks that native plun-
derers had destroyed many Egyptian
cemeteries last winter to get objects
for tourists, and thus “perishes the
history of 7,000 years, while transient
politicians disagree.”

under the command of Major Wilkin-
son, was ordered to the scene of hostili-
ties. A bloody battle of two days’
duration during one of the severest
blizzards of the season followed. Major
Wilkinson and five of the officers were
killed and fourteen of the little band of
eighty were wounded before re-en-
forcements could reach them.
Immediately upon the return of the
company from the scene of the Indian
troubles they were detailed for duty in
the Philippines, making the journey to
that point on the transport Sherman,
via the Atlantic Ocean and Suez canal.
Arriving at Manila on March 24 and
until July 1, company E participated in
all of the campaigns under Gen. Law-
ton. Young Verner participated in all
of the campaigns until the expiration
of his period of enlistment, and for
bravery was appointed sergeant of his
company.

free to say that I see no way out of
our present condition in the south by
returning to Africa. Aside from other
insurmountable obstacles, there is no
place in Africa for us to go where
our condition would be improved. All
Europe,especially England, France and
Germany, have been running a mad
race for the last twenty years to see
which could gobble up the greater part
of Africa, and there is practically
nothing left. Old King Cetewayo put
it pretty well when he said: ‘First
come missionary, then come rum, then
come traders, then come army’; and
Cecil Rhodes has expresed the prevail-
ing sentiment more recently in these
words: ‘I would rather have land than
Graves Seven

. London Globs: Prof. Flinders Petrie,
who goes every winter to “spoil the
Egyptians” of their prehistoric re-
mains, has opened his usual exhibition
in University College. The relics are
chiefly from twenty miles of old ceme-
teries along the western desert from
Hu to Dendereh, and range from the
prehistoric to the Roman period. The
chief discovery of the year is the Li-
byan settlements in Egypt at the close
cf the middle kingdom about 2,400 B.
C. The Libyan graves are shallow
circular pits about four feet across and
two feet deep. In these “pan” graves
the bodies lie in a contracted position,
as in prehistoric graves, but not all in
the same direction. The Libyan pot-
tery is partly identical with that of the
Twelfth Egyptian dynasty, and partly
red or black, like the prehistoric, but
of other forms. The Egyptian pottery
Having traveled over 38,000 miles
into all parts of the world from the far
north to the equator and circumnavi-
gated the globe to fulfill his sworn duty
of protecting the honor of the stars and
stripes, Edgar G. Vernor, son of Judge
George Vernor, of Nashville, Ill., has
arrived home from the Philippine is-
lands. Young Vernor enlisted in the
regular army five years ago and was
assigned to company E of the Third in-
fantry, and until the commencement of
the war with Spain was stationed with
his regiment at Fort Snelling, Minn.
His was one of the first regiments
detailed for service in Cuba and he was
with it, all through the campaign be-
fore Santiago, but came through with-

One of the Grandest Offers Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 10c
package of “Red Cross” starch, one
large 10c package of “Hubinger’s Best”
starch, two Shakespeare pictures print-
ed in twelve beautiful colors, as natur-
al as life, or one Twentieth Century
Girl calendar, the finest of its kind
ever printed, all absolutely free. All
others procuring the Endless Chain
Starch Book will obtain from their
grocer two large 10c packages of starch
for 5c, and the beautiful premiums
which are being given away. This of-
fer is only made for a short time to
further introduce the famous “Rea
Cross” starch and the celebrated “Hu-
binger’s Best” cold water starch. “Red
Cross” laundry starch is something en-
tirely new, and is without doubt the
greatest invention of the twentieth
century. It has no equal, and surpasses
all others. It has won for itself praise
from all parts of the United States. It
has superseded everything heretofore
used, or known to science in the laun-
dry art. It is made from wheat, rice
and corn, and is chemically prepared
upon scientific principles by Mr. J. C.
Hubinger, an expert in the laundry
profession, who has had twenty-five
years’ practical experience in fancy
laundering, and wrho is the first suc-
cessful and original inventor of all fine
grades of starch in the United States.
If you would have the best, ask for
“Red Cross” and “Hubinger’s Best,”
which are the finest starches on the
market today.
The jobbing houses all handle it, the
retail grocer has it on his shelves, you
find it in all the homes, while the care-
ful housewife has adorned the walls of
the home with the beautiful Shakes-
peare pictures which are being given
away in introducing “Red Cross” and
“Hubinger’s Best” starch.
