AN OLD WELSH HOME.
Description of an Interior, With It's
Sandcd Slate Flags.

PRESCRIPTION OF an Inferior, with It's
sandcd Slate Flags.
Robert Fowler in his book, "Beauti-
full Wales" makes this pretty descrip-
ton Of an old Welsh home: THE floor
was Of sanded slate flags and on them
long, many legged table, an oak set
tie. table piano and some Chippen-
dale chairs. There We're also two tall
clocks, and they were the most human
clocks ever met for they licked with
effort and uneasiness. They found the
hours troublesome and did not twitter
mechanically oyer them, and at mid
night the twelve strokes always nearly
ruined them, SO great was the effort
ION the wall We're n large portrait
of Sturgeon, several sets Of verses,
printed and framed, in memory of
dead members Of the family, an allie
gorical tree watered by the devil and
photographs Of bard. There were
about fifty well used books near the
fire and two or three men smoking
and one man reading some serious
book aloud by the only lamp, and girl
was carrying out the weeks baking Of
large loaves, fiat fruit tarts of black
berry, apple and whinberry, plain gold
en- cakes, large, soft currant biscuits
and curled oat cakes.
"And, outside, the noises of west
wind and n flooded stream, the whim-
per of an otter and the long, slow
laugh Of IN owl, and always silent. but
never forgotten. the restless, tower
ing outline of mountain"

THE SCOTS eRAYs.
Regiment of Dragons Famous Since
the Time of ChnrIcs ii.

Regiment of Dragons Famous Since
the Time of Charles ii.
Second to none" is the proud motto
OF the gallant and famous regiment,
the Second Dragon guards. or Royal
Scots Grays. 1t is a happily chosen
motto, for the fame of the regiment is
worldwide. Its brilliant achievements
on the field of battle during two cen
turtles, its striking and historic name,
its grand and imposing uniform have
made the Royal Scots Grnys, as an in
dfvidual corps, there is no guinsaylng,
the most widely known and familiar
of all the regiments of the British
army.
Since the regiment was raised. in the
reign of the second Charles, the dra-
goons have borne themselves well in
many famous field, but want of space
forbids us to note the exploits until
earth shaking" Waterloo came on the
glory roll of the gallant grays. Here,
with the English Royals" and Irish
"Inniskillings," they formed the IA
nous union brigade which made the
never to be forgotten picture of the
flight For the Standard" That wide
ly known picture shows man of the
grays, Sergeant Ewart, capturing the

A Way some Women Have.

honest in the way of sending to mil
liners for boxes Of hats on approval,
keeping them for week, and, when
they return them with note to say
that none suits, the owners find that
each has been worn once, If not sew

by innumerable pin holes. certainly

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1905-01-07

Thompson was at the dock about five
O'Clock in the morning and delivered
and received the mail, and every
thing about the place was apparent
ly as safe as usual then. By seven
o'clock the buildings were only a
mass of smouldering ruins and Mr..
Rudow's fine stock of general mer-
chandise was totally destroyed. He
was engaged in the work Of taking
his first annual inventory and is I'M
able to say just how much stock he
had on hand, probably somewhere
between 81, 900 and 5000. The stock
was insured in the Etna. Company
for little more than one-half its
value.
The buildings were erected about
twelve years ago by DR.. |. M. and
E. B. Harrison who conducted a gen
eral merchandise business there for a
short time. They were succeeded in
business by the Harper-White Com
pany, whom F. G. Harper succeeded.
Mr.. Harper sold out to Templ-n's
Fair and a short time after their re-
moval to their new location the prop
erty was rented to Mr.. Rudow, who
began business about May l, 1904.
The buildings were insured in the
Etna Company for $1,000. The
wharf, recently extended and prac-
tically rebuilt, was not much dam
aged.

Killed on Christmas Day

Geo. R.. Todd, of Syracuse, N. T.,
brother of Mrs. Stoliker and Mrs.
Hicks, of Friday Harbor, was killed
in a collision of ice boats on Onendaga
lake Christmas day; He had gone
out to the lake with. one or two
friends to witness the Christmas
sports and after the races the men
were invited to take a trip on one OF
the ''yachts. The, Syracuse Herald
says that the boats were skimming
over the lake at the rate of about
twenty miles an hour when the col
lision occurred. Three men were kill
ed and several others badly injured.
Mr.. Todd was wood finisher en-
ployed by a large manufacturing
company and was 81 years old. He
had resided in Syracuse about twelve
years. His wife and one child sur
vive him, also his parents, four Sis
tiers and two brothers. He Was
member of the Baptist church, the
order of Maccabees and Red Men,.

New Boat Project

The Anacortes American says that
"Krasch and King may put a boat
on the Island run in the near future"
and the same paper says in the same
issue: eff the Kipling is placed on
the island run, there will be some
thing doing in the passenger service
between Anacortes and Friday Har-
Dor. The people of the island are
deserving of a good boat and mail
service and if the Kipling gets on
the run it will afford them a much
needed accommodation"
The Kipling is handsome gas
oline pleasure yacht, built for and
owned by F. Fl. Boynton, OF Seattle,
manager of the Pacific Printers
Supply Company. It is perhaps the
finest little vessel of its class on the
Sound and affords sumptuous accom-
modations for a small number of pas
sengers. Mr.. Boynton and a party
Of friends were here in the Kipling
on pleasure trip during the summer.
