FOR TIMES WOMEN WHO WANT TO KNOW
What Is Seen in The Shops
BY THE SHOPPER.

The craze for sleeping out Of doors
is one Of the few fads which can be
taken up and worked to death" with
out doing any serious harm to enthusi-
asts, and the conveniences which have
been put on the market by the differ
ent factories attest the popularity OF
this movement.
A department store at Eleventh and
streets has probably the largest and
most inexpensive lot OF sleeping ham
n the city. All frames for the swing
ing box couches and bed hammocks are
1886. The hammocks themselves range
in price from As0 TO $500 and over
OnlS a few, perhaps four or Ave of the
si.95 ones are left, so great has been the
demand for them. They are made OF lO.
ounce navy duck in white, with goou
mattress and springs.
Have you heard of the after dinner
ring?" 1t was explained to me this
morning as a ring to slip on the finger
for a rest after meals or when one was
tired of other finger jewelry. Many of
them are Of coral, cut in canoes or In
Just plain stones. On the north side or
r street, Just few doors from Twelfth,
there Is a shop in which saw some OF
the rings mentioned. One. which l put
on my Smallest nnBerI ana Wnlcn near
ly covered the first joint; was as per-
feet a piece OF cameo cutting one could
wish to see. The rings range in price
from 81 to $50.
A leather store on street between
Thirteenth and Twelfth has recently
received a large assortment Of toilet
and bedroom articles in Partisan or
vegetable ivory. Small round cases, for
dTEgaInur Oyh from
once to three and four scent bottles are
$2.25 and 81, one shape powder box is
Soc, and another shape Is Sl.75, a col
lapsible drinking cup In a case Is 81,
and a shoe horn Is Soc. These are only
a few of the many articles.
Hammered brass waste baskets are a
neat and clean looking addition to any
room, hut the only ones heretofore
which I have seen have been very ex-
pensiVe. Today as l passed the win
dows of a paper hrm on r street, not
far from Fourteenth street, / saw a
very pretty and largo basket OF brass
marked at l.lO. The others are usually
marked at very much higher price.
Shoes to match a certain costume or
gown are very hard to find, and whole
days have been spent in a vain search
for suitable footwear. Not many doors
from Thirteenth street there is a shoe
store which has been selling out its
stock Of shirt waists and shoes, and II

/ Ia there that some wonderful bargains
are to be had. A pair of pongee COW
cred slippers in small sizes are marked
at II, and many other odd pairs OF
colored slippers are the same price.
AT the department store at Eleventh
and F streets, where the sleeping ham,
mocks are to be had. are some real bar
gains in tennis rackets They range
from 75c to several dollars in price, but
some defective ones, made by a stan
dard firm and just a little off weight,
are marked N.95. Several in this lot are

unbalanced and good enough for the
beginner, or for one who is an energetic
player.

Exercise is the best thing to make your
tall grow bushy."
when II was ready he sat down at the
table to eat with the fox.
And another very necessary thing
to be done" said the fox, 'is to diet.
You should eat very little and nothing
but green stuff. You better go out and
eat some grass and then drink some
water. You will find a creek back of
the rock by the door,"
The cat did not like this part Of the
bargain very well. but he did want the
bushy tail, so he went, but he was SO
hungry the next morning that he could
hardly wait for breakfast time.
You can cook those chickens for
breakfast" said the fox, and then you
can go out and catch a bird or two.
but you must be back m time for din
ner. as you must not lose an oppor-
tunity to exercise"
The cat did not need to be told a
second time that he could eat, and off
he ran. After few days OF cooking

Former Senator Mason
ASpirant for Old Seat

Former Senator William E. Mason of
Illinois is looming up as an aspIrant for
the Senatorship to succeed Lorimer.
Mr.. Mason does not believe Governor
Deneen has the authority to appoint a
successor to Lorimer. He believes that
the effect of sthe Senates action is to
declare there was no election of a Sena-
tor by the Legislature, and therefore
the Governor cannot appoint, but the
Legislature must MI the place.
Mr.. Mason will propose that a Sena-
torial primary be held in connection
with the general election in November
He thinks he would succeed then, The
Legislature will meet next wintSI

DEBATING SOCIETY
 WILL BE FORMED

It has been proposed to form d literary and debating society under the auspices of Camp Iditarod No. P, Arctic Brotherhood, and the idea has met with such encourage. ment that society will probably be established at an early date.
 It has been found tbat while there are many ill the camp whose ability i'll that direction qualities them as public speakers, yet, on account of stage-fright they are un- able to do justice to themselves or their subject when the occasion arises. It is thought that the es- tablish nent of literary and de batting society will not only help speakers to overcome a natural shy ness, but will also serve to bring out native talent which at present finds no opportunity of expression.
 These debating societies are con- mon Outside, and prove of inesti- mable value in stimulating interest ill public affairs. Established in Alaska, they might result in much valuab ble legislation, for every sug- gestion found worthy could be for warded to the Alaska legislature for their sympathetic consideration and action.

WILLIAM LANCE
 DIES IN INNOKO

Writing to tue Iditarod Pioneer from Cripple City early this month, Ralph Tabor tells of the death of William ("Dutch Dill'') Lange, widely known pioneer of Yukon and Alaska, which took place on the Innoko river about 50 miles below Cripple City, November 3, at 4:5o a. Ill.
 Lange started for Cripple City with Tabor and others early in October, and the party made very slow progress up the Innoko Lange was ill poor health from the start, and on leaving Diskaket he was feeling worse. He was wrapped in blankets, and the party proceeded slowly up the river until they reached point 50 miles below Cripple October IS There they went into camp. Next day the ice began running i'll the river, and as Lange was rapidly getting worse they were unable to go farther. The sick mans legs then began to swell, until he was unable to move around, and he got worse rapidly. He breathed his last on Sunday, November 5
 The deceased left no written in structions regarding the disposal of his body. but wished to be remem- bered to his children. He has a son in Seattle and a daughter some where in the state of Washington. Anyone knowing their address will please communicate with Ralph Tabor or Peter O'Donnell, Cripple City, Innoko.

SMALL BLAZE
 TUESDAY NIGHT

AS Abe Audette was coming down Willow street from the Mutchler barn last Tuesday night, about 12 o'clock, he saw flames coming from the mes senger office. Approaching the place he found that some incendiary had set fire to the premises in two places. The alarm was turned in, and within few minutes the fire was e1tinguished by hand grenades. The damage was in- significant, but J. J. Kelly injured his hand in trying to beat out the flame.
 Inquiries have been proceeding dur ing the week as to the origin of the fire, and what motive may have prompted the criminal, but so far no arrests have been made. A glove of peculiar pattern had been dropped by the person who started the blaze, as it was quite warm inside when picked up; but apart from that there is no clue.
 A subscription list has been opened for the purpose of offering reward for information which would lead to the
 
 conviction of the criminal. The mar shal's office will offer S2OO, and it is e1- pected to bring the total up to sl, ,OO0.
 This is the third time persons un- known have attempted to start fire in this city, and in each case the at- tempt has been so clumsy as to lead one to believe that conaagration was not desired. There must have been another motive. The work is certainly not that of a crazy man-such people generally do effective work, It is un- likely that a fire-bug would fail three times, when starting fire is quite .n easy matter. The guilty persen is not by any means insane, but must have had definite end in view to make three distinct but unsuccessful at tempts. It will De noticed that in each of the three cases the fire has been dis covered within a fsw seconds of be ing started,

DIRECT
 TRAIL TO ANIAK

Harry Howard writes to the Idit. arod Pioneer saying that Hank Grimm left Kolmak ofsky November IT to blaze the new trail from that point to Iditarod city. Instead of following the old routes by way of Georgetown or Crooked river, trav- elers using the new trail will come by way of the head of the Iditarod river-thus efecting a saving of not less than 5 miles of travel. Not only the Aniak, but Bear creek, New York ard other camps will become more accessible.

 NOT DROWNED

The mail carrier having brought word of rumor to tho effect that Tom McMahon, who left hero early last week with horse and sled for the Out side by way of Fairbanks, had been drowned in the vicinity of Kaltag, wireless messages were sent to tho Yukon requesting information. It was learned yesterday afternoon that Mir. McMahon passed Nulato safely last Tuesday, travelling with dogteam.
 It seems that Mir. McMahon must have had a narrow escape, for he lost his horse and sled near Kaltag, where presumably tho outfit went through tho ice. But MT. McMahon imm sdi. ately picked up 2. dogteam and con- tinued on his journey. He is travelling alepe.
