NEW BOOKS
A Wise Son.
BY Charles Shearman.


Reginald Van de Water Boggs
was a wealthy society man and
while drunk he meets and legally
adopts Timothy Marshall Payne
who was also drunk. Payne, tho
penniless, is true gentleman, the
young man recognizes his worth
and respects him for what he is. In
the helpless old drunkard he sees
himself as he will be in the course
of time. Each one is a horrible ex.
ample to the other and with this in
view they manage to work out each
others regeneration.
Two love stories thread their way
through the book but the principal
parts are those portraying the re-
lationship between the son and
adopted father.

THIS Is ONLY
 \ SUGGESTION

We see by late Juneau papers that that thriving burg and rapidly approaching metropolis has a lady dancing teacher who purposes in structing the devotees of Terp- slchore there in the mysteries Of the tango and all the other latest fashionable steps.
 As it is more than probable that the craze will reach Skagway ere long we suggest that it would be as we'll for those of Us who are in terested to take a few preliminary lessons from some one with whom We are well acquainted and to whom any bad breaks which we might make would be overlooked, or at least condoned.
 In making the above suggestion we have in mind a competent and thoroughly qualified instructor, one who has but recently come from where the gyrations and genuflec- tions of these highly moral and educational maneuvers are taught in all their pristine elegance and beauty. We refer to Stroller White of the Whitehorse Star, and to prove to our readers that we know whereof we speak we beg to call their attention to a recent issue of the star in which appeared the following:
 "Figuratively speaking, the past three months were Apple Blossom Time in Normandie" with the Stroll CT and during that time Tangoing was one of the milGest of his trans gressions-if it is a transgression. There are many different and sep arate Tango dances. Some of them are more separate than others. Among the mildest forms of the Tango are the following:
 Rheumatism Glide-Partners take
 full nelsons and fox trot to
 slow music.
 St. Vitus Rag-Use Bowery clutch
 elevate the chandeliers as much
 as possible and remove the
 pictures from the walls.
 Boneless Canter.-Partners clasp
 both hands. The left foot is
 kept on the floor for use in constant hopping.' The right
 foot is pressed gently but firm
 ly against partners left ear. (In
 this dance the Stroller was
 much sought after as a part
 ner.)
 Rock-a-by-Baby Croon-(On sec
 ond thought the Stroller has
 decided to send the description
 13 ytb'a dance hy mail. If the
 wax on the back of the enVel- ope has been tempered with,
 report same to the postal au-
 thcrities.)
 Of course the otr0ller's waist line is a little too full now for ef- fective work but We believe that by a strict attention to diet he could within a few months get down to where he could at least demonstrate the rudimonts of the dances.

travelling on the train will be
met at either or both Pageland

you would like to be met at
Jefferson or Pageland and also
the date of your expected arri-
val.

The 4-year-old child of Mr..
Joe Kirkley was burned to death
at Mr.. Kirkley's home near JEFF
ferson Monday afternoon. The
child was playing some distance
from the house with some other
children when some Of them
fired some grass, from which the
child's clothing caught. All the
clothing was burned from the
little body before help could
reach it, and the flesh was terri
bly, burned and b1istered The
child lived until about 4 O'Clock
Tuesday morning. 1t will be
buried at Plains today, services
being conducted by Rev. A. w.

Work on the new Methodist
Protestant church has begun in
earnest, and it will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as pos
sible. MI. John E. Smith is fore,
man, and the members of the
church will do the greater part
of the work themselves. The
main part of the building will
be 80 x As feet, and there will be
a Sunday school room l6 X 1S
feet and a vestibule Ok 9 feet.
The tower will be about As feet
high. The building will be
storm sheeted and substantially
put together throughout. The
walls will be plastered, and the
church when finished will pre-
sent a neat and attractive appear
ance inside and outside.
The county board of equaliza-
ton met at the county seat yes
terday to 60 through the tax
returns of the whole county.
The township board for Old
Store township and the town
board for tine town of Pageland
made general raises in the
property values, and is to be
hoped that all the other town
ship boards did the same. 1t is
estimated that the real estate
values have been raised about
one fourth in Pageland and near
ly that much in the township
An effort was made to equalIze
the returns as nearly as possible
which of course caused quite a
raise in some instances. This
in turn raised a howl. .
