The auliior of "Ltttlo Women" In thrso

her "little girls" who had just lojit n

.characteristic charm pnd loving can
dor: f " I think you neod not worry
about flay name for your faith, but
. simply try to bo and do good, to love
Irtuo In othors, and study the lives of
,-thoso who arc tntly worthy of imita

.to mo Jhat n very simple one Is fitted
to no whoso hearts are usually more
olive than heads, and whose hands are
tied In' -many wars. Health of body
dholps health of sou: cheerful views of
all things heap up the courage and
' fcrace the norvos. Work for the mind
must be had, or dally duty becomes
drudgery, and tho power to enjoy high
ar things Is lost, Chango of sceno Is
sometimes salvation for girls or worn

,4orn In, and It Is their duty to go away,
fvca If Jt Is to harder work, for hun

bodies Buffer for escnpo from a too pale
tfpr narrow life. I havo felt this and
often gone away from Concord to teach,
which 1 never liked, because there was
,ho food for my mind In that small con
servative tqwn, especially since Mr,

To My Customers:
Our compotitots are again in tho fiold. trying to fret our cus
tomprs dissahslied and domorohzed by circulating nil kinds of wild-cat
stories and nicely gotten up printed matter, wlh tlio idea of making
them feel that thoy liavo mado u mistnko in not olaciii"- their order for
"Tho other fellow's machine." n
Now, wo address this upon letter to you to say that past exper
ience, if remembered toachod us that it is a oommou practice with
most of them to send out handsomo printed nmtter, make a game of
smooth talk and many fair promises, in order to have you believe their
mnchino is tlj.i only one to buy. If thoy find you havo bought on
yoiu own judgment, and bought what you know to bo tho best.THE
McCORMICfC MACIIIN1&Y, they got after you, offering lower
prices, stones of imaginary brilliant successes, etc., calculated to make
you feel that you have bought too enrly.
Tim facta in the case arc that you enn buy a McCormick Bindor
or Mower just ns cheap in January as you can in June or nny other
month. McCormick machines are sold at ono prico at all times, thoy
being all mado alike and of the same material, aro necessarily worth
tho same money, henco tho company must nk all people the same
prico. Tho price of a McCormick machine has no moro to do with
that of nny other binder or mower than it lias with tho price of bicy
cles. Please bear this point in mind .
McCormick makes his own machines, tho other companies
make theirs. Thoy do not compare notes aa to the cost of tho dirter
ont machines, and onjy do so in relation to the SELLING PRICE
and guago their prico by their ability to get orders that wo would
suroly cet if thoy would put tho same pnoo on their goods as we do on
ours. If their machino cost them as niqpjj money ns tho McCormick
does to build, thoy would suroly ask tho same prico, as thero is no
uiiuijmuy on earm uiai cun ounu macnincs any cneaper or better than
Tho MeCormipk Harvesting Machino Co. build theirs.
If you jiavo not bought a McCormick, you should placo your
order nt once with your nearest agent for one of tho McCormick mach
ines tho best harvester and binder that McCormick oer built, and a
machine of which wo aro all justly proud.
Reports from tho southern harvest fields aro most flattering and
encouraging, showing that tho competition only did business whore
wo wero SHORT Oh' MACHINES and couldu't till orders. This con
vinces us and Bhould convince you, thnt tho McCormick machino sells
on its merits and not on price, which is guaged by productions of oth
er manufacturers, and as history usually repeats itself as the harvest
moves north, it might bo well for you to place vour order at once, as
wo will very likely have to face a shortage in Nebraska and olsowhore.
It might strike you when you need your machine tho worst, "First
como must bo first served," If you havo already placed your order,
you should feel happy over it and pay no attention to any talk givon
you by a competitor with tho idea qf making you dissatisfied with
your purchase. "Wishing you every success, wo remain

TIAHA FOH MME. NOnDIDA,
i'tie Splendid Oltt of the Oreat G In for'
Admlrort.
A beautiful diamond tiara which ia to i
bo presented to Mmo. Nordlca by hpr' v I
admirers atnonc Uic box and teat nold
cra of tho Metropolitan Opera House,
has been put on exhibition In New
York. The coronet contains 233 dia
monds, which range in slzo from 14
carats to 1-8 of a carat. Thero am
about a dozen pf the larger stones, ahtl
the total weight of tho diamonds In tho
tiara is about 30 carats. Its cost wilt
not be far from 5,000. The Btylo of
coronet Is that of Adams, in the timo
of the first empire. The tiara is built
upon a base band of gold, which will
rest upon tho wearer's head and keep
tho diamond-set crown from sinking
Into the hair. This barid is, however,
only a round wlro of gold about 113 of
an inch in diameter. At its ends ara
loops into which hairpins or ribbons
may be fastened to secure tho coronet
to the head, Abovo the base and root
ing on wire uprights Is the base propofc
of tho tiara. This consists of a doublo
line of diamonds, containing in all
about soventy-flvo stones, inclosing
row of larger stones. Above this
either sido Is scroll work of diamdiy!,
conventional grasses, and betw
these conventional flowers, all ot dla,
monds. The tiara stands very high ia
front and tho center pleco Is a remark
ably effective specimen of Jeweler's
work. It is an open, graceful cluster
of sprigs and flowere, and containaln
all sixty-six diamonds. The tips olr tho 1
sprigs contain tho largest stones In tha
tiara, each sprig holding a single stone,
and the centers of tho conventional
flowers are also formed of single stones
of large size. The center piece of tho
crown can be separated from the rest
and used by ltsolf as an ornament for
tho hair. For this purpose it la provid
ed with a gold comb, which sits at right
angles with the front. This coraO
serves to steady the tiara when tho en
tiro Jewel is worn. The Idea of making
a gift to Mmo. Nordlca la said to have
originated among some of her admirers
at the Wnldorf, but it did not take
definite form mtll Mr. James Otis toob:
It in hand. He Invited the great sing
er's friends to contribute for the pur
pose but limited the contributions' to
510 each. The date for the presenta
tion has not been fixed, but it will prob
ably take place on one of the blgnightq
when Nordlca Rtn en duriiir; tliR rnmln

l'ro-entlnf olo of Trains,
Tho peculiar ringing and singing
noise mado by the running of trains
over iron bridges Is annoying to many
passengers. To do away with this nols$
a German engineer has devised the fol
lowing: "He puts a decking of 114-
inch planks betwten the cross girders.
resting on 3-lnch timbers laid on th
bottom flanges. On the planks a doubn
layer of felt is laid which is fixed
the vertical web of the cross girded
At the connections with tho girder a
timber cover Joint Is placed on felt, and;
two hooked bolts connect the whole
firmly to the bottom flange. Fout
inches of slag gravel cover the dooklng,
which is inclined toward the center of
the bridge for drainage purposes. A
layer of felt is faitf between tne plants
and the timbers they rest upon and
tho ironwork In contact with the deck
ing and ballast Is asphalted. The deck
ing weighs 600 pounds per yard for &
bridgo 11 feet wide and costs 23 cents
a square foot. It is water tight and
has proved very satisfactory In prevont
lug noifio."
Menelek I Sony,
A FrencU phyeician who visited tbt
Abyssinian kin? Mcnclok'a camp.
February, writes that Menclek has ex
pressed Borrow at the great bloodshed
resulting from tho war, Tho Shonn
army wns in excellent condition at thai
time and had been placed under ctrlsfc
discipline, an unusual thing for such,
troops. They were reported also to
have a en tiirert a certain dignity of char- rl
acter and bearing, which, had previous
ly been entirely wanting, Old Menc
lek expressed no doubt as to the final
outcomo ot the war, but stated that
ho hated tho bloodshed, and had ocly
acted on the defensive. He caco:
had any idea of the great slaughter of
Italian troops which his soldiers would
60 soon make.
