NORA’S JOURNEY. BY SARAH B. ROSE. Is this my station?” nervously questioned the pretty young girl with cheeks like damask roses, as the conductor came through the car, as the tram was slowing up. "Yes, the next is yours,” replied the official politely, and then Nora Sterne sank back in her place and drew from her hand-bag the letter which she had read so many times during her halfday’s journey. It was from her cousin Tom, and she thought it the most interesting missive she had ever received. It was not a love-letter either. Its contents ran as follows: "Noba, Dear Coz.:—You are wanted at ‘i /■, . at last that the Shamrock Club will give f ( > r the benefit of the ; poor of our city a series of entertainments, i ending with impressive religious eere- 1 monies at the Cathedral on the evening of I bt. Patrick s day. I “A feature of these entertainments will be historical tableaux. I have reserved the । part of Emmet’s daughter for you. Nora. 1 hen there will be a religious drama. We I have secured a first-class actress from New : York for leading lady, from whom wo are ! expecting great tilings. The citv is going wild over her. the first really great artist that ever visited us. "You had better start next Monday. You will be obliged to remain one night at the Button Hotel ami finish your journey Tuesday morning, but you will not care for this, as I have a room engaged for you. “I would come to escort you. but I am a member of the Shamrocks and am kept i busy every moment of every day. Kate and ! Maggie, too, are flying around like bees in a bonnet. “I forgot to tell you that we are learning the minuet—the old-fashioned dance that is coining in again, you know. It will be danced at one of the entertainments, and I want you to be my partner, Nora. The dancing master, Katie, and myself will give you all the instruction necessary. "We will all be at the station Tuesday. for I know you will not have the heart to disappoint us. "Ever ycur affectionate cousin. "Tom Sterne.” Nora was utterly untraveled, but everything went oil very pleasantly, not many minutes elapsing after she bad left the train before she found herself restingin the best room at the Burton Hotel, which Cousin Tom had kindly taken for her. But she had no idea of the furore which her arrival had occasioned among the stylish lady boarders who were seated at dinner and hud caught sight of her as she passed the dining room door. “She has come,’’announced Mrs. Jay, who had been favored with a back view of Nora’s flannel traveling suit. “The actress,” cried Mrs. Taylor, another stage struck madam, dropping her fork. “ What business has an actress here?” growled a surly business man half way down the table. “She is on her way to take part in the theatricals of the Shamrock Club next week,” replied Mrs. Taylor. “Tom Sterne engaged a room for her yesterday.” “She is perfectly lovely,” cried Miss > Smitf, a rosebud of twenty-eight who ; affected schoolgirlish airs, “and her ! form is elegant.” . “I wish I dare call on her in her j room,” said Mrs. Jay musingly., “Maybe she’ll come to dinner.” “She will not, there go the waiters now. Th?v are taking her dinner up to her,” cried Mrs. Taylor. “What a shame!” exclaimed Mrs. Jav, “She does not intend that we shall get a sight of her face, that is evi- j dent.” “If we could only have some souvenir,” murmured Miss Smiff, whose room was filled with "trophies of dis- , tinguished people. “I have it. 11l watch for the waiter and get tne napkin she used for dinner.” “You might find a stray hair in the hairbrush after she leaves,” suggested ; the surlv business man. The ladies treated their unsentimental friend with the contempt he deserved, and vet that speech developed an idea that they made use of long after thev should have been at rest. Meanwhile, obsequious waiters were making it -very plea-ant foi p.etty * oia, who, not caring to meet so many strangers, did not go down stairs at all but retired early to dream that she vas posing with cousin Tom in the suite . minuet until suddenly she was awakened by a suppressed titter daunted, surely,” thought poor Nora, too dazed to stir, for a half dozen ghostly figures were peering about the dim comers of the room and hoveling j over the dressing table. „ • “She hasn’t even a | whispered one disappointed mvestiga ; ‘T’ve got a button off her jacket, j said another. , | "Give me one, too,’ murmuied a । ^“Thev’ro robbing me,” thought Nora . rising upon one elbow and screaming | The room was deserted very quickly .

V hut shall I do?” q 1 roi , u Sterne’s friend, Harry Sennott, said one of the group. “I< you will allow me i will cad my sister, she will know what to do.” And the young man started awav without waiting tor a roplv. 1 here must have been a mistake,” said the gentlemanly proprietor. “No such thing ever happened in my house before. Mr. Sennott now returned with a I smiling young lady who explained matj ters at once. “The ladies mistook Miss Sterne for । the actiess the Shamrock Club are go- । ing crazy over, and each wishing to be i able to say that she possessed an article lof attire which once belonged to her, i they have taken Miss Sterne’s missing 1 property.” “1 believe that yon are right,” said the proprietor, in a relieved tone, “i will replace the articles at once.” Nora was enabled to reach the trair in season, nor was she obliged to travel alone, for Harry Sennott and his sistei j were going to the city to take part in | the same entertainments that she expected to enjoy so greatly. Tom Sterne and his sisters were delighted with the little adventure which had introduced their little cousin to such pleasant society, and as they all met frequently at dancing schools and rehearsals, it came about that Hurry took Tom's partner for the minuet away from him, saying, as he apologized very humbly for the misdemeanor: “I knew Nora was a delightful dancei m the glimpse I once had of her lite bare feet.” “And you will confess to taking het shoes now, I suppose,” returned Tom with a sly glance at Kitty Sennott. "He is quite equal to it,” she returned. “I don’t believe the minuet will be the end of their partnership either.” “They’ve found us out,” cried Harry gaily. “Partners for the minuet and sot life afterwards.” And so Nora’s journey was but ths forerunner of her wedding, and not long afterwards when she passed through Burton as a bride and sat down to the same table with the ladies who had taken her shoes for souvenirs, one of the-ladies laughingly alluded to the occurrence and Harry inquired : “And were you successful in getting a memento of the real actress when she did arrive?” “Ah yes, we had no trouble about that. She had not been in the house a half an hour before she had distributed a hundred photographs of her beautiful self among us—or she would have been ; beautiful if she had looked as well as j her photo.” Had to Get Used to It. | Mr. and Mrs. Calendula C.

BUILT OF BALED HAY. A CHAND AND UNIQUE PALACE AT MOMENCE, ILL. Novel Features of the Coining Industrial Exposition at That Place—lllinois and Indiana Will Contribute Their Products and Resources. [Momence (Ill.) dispatch to Chicago Tribune.]* Freparations tor the Interstate Hay Palace Exposition, which is to be held at Momence Oct. 1-n. are now well ad\anced, and work on the building is in progress. 'l'he building, as its name indicates, will be constructed principally of baled hay, but, as a matter of course, lumber, iron and glass will be necessary in a building of such proportions. The palace will be 204 feet in length, with a width of 170 feet in the center. The accompanying engraving, taken from the architect’s plans, gives a good idea, ol its appearance, but does not show the auditorium in the rear of the central or main hall. 'This main hall is a perfect circle 103 feet in diameter, surmounted by a central glass dome 81 feet, in circumference, the top of which will be 87 feet from the ground. A gallery, sixteen feet wide, sweeps entirely around this main hall, from the inner circle of which there is an unobstructed view to the center and to the top of the dome. Three wings lead from the main hall, the larger or rear wing being designed for an auditorium, seating 1,200 people. The Kankakee marshes oast of Momoncc annually produce thousands of tons of a species of wild hay that is haled and shipped principally for packing purposes. This hay. pressed in bales 16 by 22 by 36 inches, will furnish the principal visible material used in building the walls and towers, but enough baled oat H ljs: ' £ E El-,Y HOW THE BUILDING WILL LOOK. and rye straw, grasses, etc., will be used in trimming to give the exterior a pleasing contrast of color and shading. Corn in various forms, sheaf wheat and oats, and oilier farm products will outer largely in the interior decorations. The exhibit is designed primarily to show the resources and products of Will. Iroquois, Kankakee, Vermillioai. Livingston. Grundy and Ford counties in Illinois, and of Lak. l , Newton. Benton, Warren and Fountain counties in Indiana. These counties are being organized by townships to secure a proper representation of the products of their farms, factories, forests, mines, etc., together with the acquirements ot their people in the way of music, art, athletics, and manual training. Among some of the novel features will be an immense aquarium containing, as far as possible, every species of fish native to tlie Kankakee. Iroquois and Vabash Kivers; collections of the geological, botanical, ornithological and zoological features of the district: a collection of Indian and prehistoric relics, owned and mostly collected within the district. 'l'he latter feature promises to be unusually interesting, as several largo collections have already been secured, including the noted mound-builders’ collection, belonging to IL M. Keyser of litis city, embracing the relics obtained from over 600 mounds in the Upper Kankakee Valley. The reunion of the survivors of tho Seventy-sixth Regiment.lllinois Infantry, will take place Oct. 2 and 3, the second and third days of the exposition. This will be followed by a band tournament, a firemen’s tournament and bicycle tournament. 'There will also boa cofitest of the church choirs of the district, for which the association offers liberal priz s; also of male quartettes, solo singers, etc. Ono room in the palace will bo set apart for drawings and models illustrating the methods of constructing and operating manufacturing plants of the class that seek locations in the smaller cities and towns. Lectures and such other information as can be procured will be given in this room, on methods of securing manufacturing establishments, and the experience of various cities and towns xvill be detailed in the hope of inciting the people of the district to stronger efforts in the way of building up and increasing their manufacturing industries. Tho hay palace will be the first palace exposition cast of the Mississippi River, and the fact that a small city like Momence has raised the money and carried the work of organization to a point where success seems certain speaks well for the enterprise and public spirit of her people. The project of the exposition was conceived by Charles S. McNichols, Secretary of the Association, after a visit to Creston. lowa, where the success of the Blue Grass Palace has almost turned the heads of the Creston Ites. World's Fair Offices Tendered. Washington special: The commissioners of the world’s fair during their recent visit to this city tendered to Robert P. Porter, now superintendent of the census, the position of chief of the bureau of awards, and to Prof. G. Brown Goode, now assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institute and in charge of the national museum, the position of chief of tho bureau of classification and catalogues for the forthcoming exposition.

Minister ann WfaWem. We understand, and it is alleged upon what we deem good authority, that recently, at a protracted Methodist meeting at Ono, wherein Rev. Shibrow, Presiding Elder of the Conference, residence Chico, assisted by Rev. Dr. Dillard, png- । tor of Ono District, was preaching to the multitude, and endeavoring to have the sinners accept the faith that they might I seek the forgiveness and blessings of the j meek and lowly Nazarene, the Elder requested that all who desired to be saved “arise and come forward.” Several parties did so, among the number a comely maiden of the not far distant ‘Western Antipodes,” who had been affected by the eloquence and earnestness of the minister s speech. The good Mr. Shibrow was so zealous in behalf of the young seeker of religion that he put his arms around her and whispered words of consolation and religion; in fact, so earnest was he in his goodness that he did not discover the male cousin of the young lady, who came up in the rear, and in a stern, not-to-be-misunderstood voice, said: “This is ah—l of away," and taking his cousin from the house of worship, marched her home. It is said that consternation reigned, much to the chagrin and indignation of the Cider, and that many left the place in disgust. It is not necessary to state that there is at least one who will not again seek religion at the hands of Mr. Shibrow, who, for aught we know, may have been sincere, but there were others in attendance who thought he was rather too familiar on that particular occasion, when naught but propriety should have been indulged in.— 'The Cottonwood Register. A Tried Remedy for Biliousness. Those who suffer from disorder or inaction of the liver will never get the upper hand of the unruly organ so long as they use such irrational remedies as blue pills, calomel, and podophyllin. But from the tried and popular medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they may expect relief with a certainty of obtaining it. The influence of the Bitters upon the great biliary gland is direct, powerful and speedily felt. The relief afforded is not spasmodic, but complete and permanent. The sallowness of the skin, furied appearance of the tongue, indigestion, costiveness, headache, nausea, pains through the right side and shoulder, in fact every accompaniment of the obstinate complaint,are en- . cirely and promptly removed by a course of this Inestimable medicine, in behalf of which testimory is constantly emanating from ever quarter, and from all classes of society.

Repaying the Favor. Among a people who know no way of canceling a debt except by making payment in kind, one is liable to strange experiences. The Maories of New Zealand are very exact in this respect as we see from an incident related by the author of “Bush Fighting." During a skirmish the son of the principle chief fell into the hands of the British. He was badly wounded in the leg, and amputation became necessary, after which the man rapidly recovered. When the patient was able to be be moved, the chief was informed that he might send for him. He did so and the next day a cart-load of potatoes arrived in camp as a present for the General, together with a message of thanks for the kind treatment treatment his son had experienced. The clref also declared that in future he would not kill wounded soldiers who fell into his hands, but only cut u leg off ami send them back!
