A Correction May be Necessary.

Several who contributed to the assis-
tance of George Deputy, who was
burned out of a home in Cedar Neck
three weeks ago, have made omplaiht
that thew were misled in that case by
the statement al the time Of the fire III
this naper. For the Information OF all
concerned we will say that the story oI
the fire was given to the writer by Mr..
Denutv himself, and at that time, we
believed it to be correct in every par
ticular: hut since then several versions
of the fire have come to our knowledge
that had their origin from the same
source. We now personally believethAt
the fire was no loss to Mr.. Deputy as
the peopls made him better of than
before it happened. Not half OF the
goods and but little if any, OF the wear
ing apparel was lost, according to those
who assisted in saving them. Practl-
cal sympathy is always good thlng
in needy cases, but there often arises
conditions where giving needs lnvesu
cation This will set the CHRONICLE
straight in this matter

colder and fair weather and northwest

Awaiting the Morrow.

By this time all things are ready for
Christmas which will again dawn upon
the world tomorrow. Old and young
are anticipating the day with delight and
the little ones will fall to sleep with
visions of the visit of Saint Nicholas and
wondering what he has selected for their
enjoyment. ,,, ill.,
that their gifts on Christmas are brought
by little old woman named Babonshka
Thew are told that long time ago an
old woman was cleaning her home when
she saw approaching three strange-look-
ing men. She asked them where they
were going, and they were going, and
thew told her they we're seeking won
dsrful child of whose birth they hac
heard. They had beautiful gifts for this
child and asked the old woman to go
with them and offer her gifts, too. She
ssid she would do so if they would wait
until she finished her cleaning. But they
answered, 1--WE may not wait; we follow
a star After they had gone she kePl
thinking of the child and wished she had
left her work. But the men could nc
longer be seen, and though she tried she
could not ind the way to the place o.
which they had told her. Since then
each wear as the day returns, the old
woman goes through all the land leaving
Gifts for every child. She hopes thai
among the children. She may some day
find the one she has sought so long.
