HIS PRESENTS ALL PAID FOR
But Mr.. Jones Was Not Quite tho
Model Citizen the Statement
Seemed to Make Out.

Referring to the promptness of some
people in settling their accounts, Sena-
tor William Alden Smith of Michigan
recalled little incident about a party
named Jones.
A few days before Christmas Mr..
Jones was talking with his neighbor,
Brown, when the subject of inter-
changing presents entered into the
conversation.
DO you mean to say" declared
Brown, in response to a statement
made by Jones, that all of your
Christmas presents are paid for?'
why, yes was the easy rejoinder
of Jones. Il settled for the last of
them yesterday"
You are nothing short of won

haven't even begun to buy mine yet"
Neither have l." answered Jones,

God wills no man slave. The most meek
Who saw him face to face Horebs peak,
Had slain tyrant for bondmans wrong,
And met his Lord with sinless soul and strong
But when years after, overfraught with care
His feet once trod doubts pathway to despair
For that treason lapse, the guiding hand
That led far barred the promised land.
God makes man slave, no doubter free;
Abiding faith alone wins liberty.
No angel led Chieftains steps Alright;
No pilot cloud by day, no flame by night;
No plague portent spake to foe or FRIEND
No doubt assailed him. faithful to the end
Weakings there were, as in the tribes of old,
Who craved for feshpots, worshiped calves of gold,
Murmured that right would harder be than wrong,
And freedoms road steep and long,
But he who ne Sinais summit trod,
Still walked the highest heights and spake with Cod
Saw with anonted eyes promised land
BY petty bounds petter cycles spanned,
Its people curbed and broken to the ring
Packed with caste and saddled with king
But freedoms heritage and training school,
Where unrued should learn to wisely rule
Till and should at Ajalon
Kings heads in dust and freemens feet thereon
His work we'll done, the leader stepped aside,
Spurning with more than kingly pride,
Content to the higher crown of worth,
While time endures, First Citizen of earth.

PRETTY COVERS FOR CORSETS
Seasons Lingerie Is Really Beautiful.
and the Prices Accordingly Are
way Up"

Whether under the classification of
corset covers, brassiere or camisole,
the little slip that conceals the cor
set is most luxurious and fetching
affair. When the blouse is of lace or
net the corset cover is usually of some
silk like pussy willow taffeta or crepe
de chine. Under less transparent
blouse it may be shirred net, lace or
even embroidered chiffon, and usually
it is held up over the shoulders by the
merest straps of lace, ribbon or tiny
chiffon roses.
Smartly shaped corset covers are
now in surplice style-not rounded out
at the top, and the deep V of the sur
plice crossing is arranged at back as
well as front. A single snap fastener
at the belt line holds the crossed sur
plice in place and if some sort of fas-
tening is required at the bust
sparkling brooch holds the lace to-
gether and CLEANS through the outer
blouse. corset cover of this type,
made of net putting and hand-embroid-
cred strips of organdie is set to-
gether with hemstitching and costs
$7.9S-quite tidy price to pay for
corset cover, but then women are
spending extravagant sums just now
on their "undies," as intimate gar
ments are called in England.
The camisole goes straight across
the bust and shoulder straps hold 1t
up 1t is worn usually with transpar-
ent evening blouses, for when the top
is drawn up by a ribbon-run beading,
the shoulder straps may be slipped
down and the shoulder left bare under
the gauzy bodice. Camisoles of the
prettiest sort are of embroidery and
lace insertions arranged in transverse
rows and sometimes tiny chiffon
roses in pastel shades are grouped
in clusters along the upper edge. If
the figure is not slender brassiere of
some sort must be donned under the
camisole for support.

Newest Baby Quilts.

Baby's newest down quilt is both
pretty and practical 1t has the upper
and under sides of soft china silk of
either pale blue or pink, and over this
is a cover of very sheer linen The
cover is the full size of the quilt
after the edges are turned over, and
it is mitred at the corners. The over
lay is at least five inches and is usu.
ally finished with an embroidered
scallop or lace edge. Is it not a fine
idea? For when the cover is soiled it
can be easily removed and Numbered
and the silk quilt is protected from
dirt and dust and the soil of frequent
handling.

NOBODY FOUNDAT STEAMBOAT
 SLOUGH

Capt. Cole and Ben Elliott, who left to search for the parties supposed to have been marooned at Steamboat slough returned this afternoon, after an unsuccessful attempt to locate rne men. No signs of men or boats was seen, and it is presumed they got got safely off.
 So far as can be gathered from vari. ous sources, the people who made the signals to the Waif were of a party of fishermen from WrangeH, who were enroute north to work for a cannery. Thew had three boats, two of about A feet in length and one of about forty feet, all equipped with motors. Apparently they were not we'll equip ped with charts, and it is one or more of these boats which is supposed to have gotten into Steamboat Slough. One of the boats, with one man aboard, arrived at Boswell Bay yes terday, and stayed at Fred Schringer's place. When Fred came to town yes terday he refused to come, although Fred offered to pilot him in, stating that he would wait for his partners to come along.
 Another of the boats, the larger one, arrived in port yesterday, and is lying at Fleming spit. This leaves but one of the boats to be accounted for. The men were bound to Cook Inlet to work for the new Bushmann cannery. They had their seasons outfit aboard their boats, which were heavily load ed.

SPEAKS WELL OF UPPER CH|T|NA

Harry Rolfe returned yesterday from the headwaters of the Chitina river, where, for some time past he has been prospecting some ground there located by himself and associ, ates.
 He expresses himself as extremely we'll pleased with the result of his labors, and believes that section pre-. sents a likely field for the prospector While there he and his partners sunk two holes, one of twenty and the other of thirty-fve feet in depth, in neither case reaching bedrock, and in both cases being driven out by water, which apparently flows on the bedrock. Tn both of these shafts, however, excel lent prospects were obtained, so that MT Rolfe is satisfied that bedrock will yield good pay. The gold is coarse.
 Two outfits were working on the stream during the winter, and found the ground to prospect we'll all along the stream. MT. Rolfe will return to the Chitina next August, and will again take up the work of locating the pay streak.
