POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL.

She never ran with hoop nor blew
Soap bubbles out of q pipe nor knew
In all her days what world of fun
1t was to scamper and jump and run:
She was born to wealth and house OF
pride,
And must be proper and dignified.
Dear little girl, 1 am sad for you.
They have f1lched your world of its
roSeate rue,
They have robbed the sweets of your
childish play
And stolen your years and your dreams
away.
And you are little girl no more
Poor little martyr In pinafore.
I frankly own I should shrink to face
Your accusing eye at the throne of grace.
l tremble to think what the King may
mete
To the culprit crouched at the judgment
seat,
Who has taken a child that was made to
sing
And stified the song and deceived the
King.

1t is about time that Haines had that deputy U. S. Marshal.
 There is Sloo worth of work in sight at Haines for good reliable jaw smith.
 Mr. Edward Shaw, of Chadwick & Shaw, proprietors of the Haines brick yard, will ship another scow load of brick to Skagway this week.
 The Haines Commercial Club has located a ten-acre tract of land for a public cemetery and will adver- tise for bids to have at least one acre cleared at once.
 Mir. Charlie Kadashan of Haines will open up a shoe shop, where all kinds of repairing will be done on short mo- tice. This is something that has been needed and that MT. Kadashan will succeed is an assured fact.

Glad You Are Back.

Mir. P. Fl. Fox returned from two months visit in the coast cities last Wednesday evening. He left his two daughters, Helen and Mary at Oak land, Cal, where they will attend school. His visit was intended as one of pleasure only, but he did depart from this to slight extent and pur- chased lot of goods. Mir. Fox is a thorough business man, energetic, in- dustrious and the very soul of honor, and he was entitled to this outing which has been of much benefit to him. The town don't look right with P. H. Fox out of it. We hope his next trip off will not be so long.
