In 1718 the Spanish again worked their wny westward across the plalna, mf. their letter tell of . the astonishment of the Indian at seeing the horses they had with them. The expedition waa con stantly losing horses, and there is little doubt that the first droves of western horses originated from theso ttrsys. - In the early days upon th plalna they were aa great a peat to travelers as they are today.

Th Minnesbta "lumber king." who owned the trees, had spared them In the hope that congress would take the grove off his hands, but being a praetlcal man h would not have waited much longer. Vo der the terms of the bill he will recetvo timber of equal value, to be allotte.J to him from tha "unappropriated publlo do main." Secretary Garfield In a letter to Repre sentative Swager Sherley of Kentucky, who was perplexed by a doubt whether th United States could acquire land lt- uated In a tate for show purpose, de scribed the Calaveras giants aa "one of th wonder of th world." and deeleard that 'It would be practically a national calamity to allow their destruction."

The styles are girlish and simple, with spring and youth in every line. There's quite a broad variety of pretty Springlike colors and materials. There are fancy stripe mixtures, plain serges and shepherd check effects. - The illustration above gives one a very clear idea of the styles. They are ex pressly girlish models, made by designers and tailors who study and make girls' clothes exclusively. ' The same painstaking care devoted to women's 6uits of the better sorts is dis played in these charming tailored models. "NVe show'a complete range of sizes and a broad variety of colorings. In every instance the price is most reasonable. ' , $10. $12; $15. S18 and $20. The Bennett Company "(1 V
