I've told you half of their elegant hose.
All sizes too. You know our Joe
With feet so wide, heel SO far from his toe?
Well, he got a perfect fit, in length, SO he

Just the size too, for baby Nat, in beautiful

What's more, bought all could in hurry,
So cheap papa didn't even get in furry.

But threw down her work and flew for the

Ask father to give me part of his cash
To buy new socks in bargains that's rash.

property and mansion on Madison Avenue,
with instructions to dispose of it at public or
private sale and apply the proceeds first to
the payment of the interest Of the mortgage
OF SEQ, 600 upon the property; second to
carry out any existing contracts for the com.
pletion of the edifice, and a provision is also
made for the payment of any Indebtedness
new owing to Mr.. Willard to the Oregon rail-

ment further recites that the residence after
disposing Of the entire Indebtedness shall be

The real property included by Willard in
his assignment is the block bounded by 5Otb

has recently erected upon Madison Avenue
front. This property is said to be worth
100000. The extent of his indebtedness

formation be obtained as to lis other jiabil
tiles. 1t is said that he is still owner of large
interests in railroads and other companies
and that his wife holds government bonds to
the amount Of S5O0, 200. No accurate state
ment of his assets, however, could be oh.
tanned tonight, and Mr.. Willard is still too in
to receive visitors.

FROM WASHINGTON.
GKEELY,s RELIEF.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.
DR.. Emile Bessels. chief of the scientine
corps of the Polaris expedition, gave the
Greely relief board today his opinion respect
ing the proper course to be taken for the re-
lief of Lieut. Greelv. He favored an expe-
dition in q vessel to Payer Harbor, Cape
Sabine and from that point, in case the water
should not be open so as to permit furthei
northing BY the ships, several boats should
be sent up along the west coast OF the sound
These boats should be accompanied BY
eUniaks," light wooden frames covered with
leather in going up the vessel should make
q careful search for the Greedy party along
the coast OF Greenland.
DIR. Bessels described the cairns made at
Polaris Bav by the Polaris, but was unable
to state the amount of their present contents,
not knowing how much the English expedi-
ton had taken from them. He thought
Greedy would not be able to cross the sound
to make use of these supplies in any event.
The Polariss people made several attempts
to cross from Polsris Bay Harbor to Lady
Franklin Bay, but were unsuccessful.
Lieut. Colonel Well said it would be nee
essary if . relief party was to be afforded to
get vessel on the spot at the earliest mo-
ment. If Greedy is going to need relief he Is
goind to need it next Spring. If he comes
down from his place next spring to Littleton
Island he will there find no supplies and will
need them as soon as a vessel can get there.
