SISTER WORE HIS SHIRTS.
Found That She Had Taken HtA Wardrobe.

The Chicago man who figured as the mournful victim of the incident here in related--was shirt waist enthusi- asst from the beginning of the excite lnent and discussion anent the mascu- line shirt waist. Nowadays, however but thereby hangs story, says the Tribune
 The man, who is inclined to be diff dent and lacking in self-confdence, is happy in the possession of sister whose character is just the reverse of his own, To this sister he some time ago submitted the difficult prob lem of: Shirt waist this summer or next? Is it best to lead fashion or follow it? and announced his inten- tion of abiding by her decision
 Lead, by all means" ran the sis ter'S verdict.
 Then as the man had small conf dence in his own taste, she selected the materials for the new garments from the samples he submitted 10 her, decreed now they should he construct ed, and pronounced them admirable hhlShCi uii' oChb iSAiiS' ASo' her decision of character seemed to desert her suddenly when the brother passed into the throes of that agony known as the shirt waist indecision. The brother pined to wear the new waists and be comfortable-and coat less--but he dreaded 10 seem too early in the field The sister no longer en- cour aged and upheld him as she had formerly done, and the new shirt waists were placed ill a darkened closet and utterly neglected--by their owner--for several weeks.
 Then suddenly, all the other men in the office seemed to have blossomed out in the new garments, and the man who blushed to think of the new waists he had lacked the courage to wear hurried home to assume one. And, to his surprise and astonishment, not single shirt waist could he find.

She came back, however, while her brother was still storming about his loss, and her guilty look betrayed her to the man who mjphJ never have suspected her enormities otherwise The sister, be it explained is tall and finely fash toned, while her brother is small and slender. For long moment they looked steadily at each other, and then:
 "Is that one of my new shirt waists you have on?" quered the brother, sternly and the sister laughed
 Yes" she answered, presently. still smiling, it is. They were SD pretty, you see, :" she explained, subsequent, ly that just couldn't help t'yisR them on, Archie, and then Wc,, they just exactly fitted me, aGd they were so much prettier than my own that l--well you might as well know 1t, l haven't had single waist of my | own on since l took to wearing yours Archie, and you might as we'll give them to me, for you'll never get them i back in the world"
 And now the brother is pretty bad ] ly divided in his own mind" He doesn't know whether to give up the shirt waist problem entirely for this summer, to replevin the garments which his sister persists in refusing l to return, or to order a fresh dozen of shirt waists so hideous in shape and color that no temptation to petty | larceny will be thrown in her way And the sister, meanwhile, is triumph antly wearing the waists,
 PrehIsturic isuca ia AlRAka. The first authentic discovery of traces of prehistoric race in Alaska was made recently by prospt etors in the foothills of Mount St, Elias who, in prospecting for placer dig2lngs discovered a copper mine which had been worked ages ago In tho iL..e diate vicinity were picked up kettles, tools, spearheads and other articles Of practical use, manufactured in crude manner out of copper It is evident that the copper came from three of the four veins in the immediate vioin- ity The spot where the discovery was made is 5000 feet above sea level, in the foothills of the mountain peak --------------------------
