John finlayson
 Gets Pension

Yet to come to the notice of the board of trustees of the Pioneer. s home, Is the application for pension under the law passed by the last legislature, of John Finlavson, of Wrangell, who is known to be at least Io3 years of age, his exact age being unknown.
 Finlayson poses as the oldest man in Alaska, and is so old that he has forgotten his exact age him. self. Friends of his declare that they know he is Io3 years of age, but make no attempt to say how much more.
 Finlayson has been resident of IVrangell for 1T years, having first arrived there in 1874. He left for q time and prospected in the Cass- jar country, but soon returned to Wrangell where he has made his home ever since.
 This makes better than a dozen applications which have been re- ceived by the board from old pros. pectors and miners who are worthy of li,tle help, but who are too ill dependent to enter the Pioneers Home.
 Most Of the pioneers Of Ala Ia are sturdy. uprig nt, bunch of men men who faced hardshlps of all kinds and men who have learneu to depend on themselves for everv- thing, from chopping wood, to pol ing a boat up stream, or cook ing their own sourdough bread. They have an aversion to en .er- ing the homa provided for them by the territory as long as they are able to care for themselves. and an- ..i! they are almost helpless they ! never ask for assistance. l. IS nearly always their friends and leigEbors who make application fer them.

 Men like Finlayson, who have spent the greater part of their days in Alaska are the men who have done the most to develop tle i country.

BLACK STOCK is BECOMING
Properly Arranged, It Should Give Just
the Right Touch to the Tai
Iored Costume.

For a tailored waist there is moth
ing quite so trig as a black satin
stock, high in proportions and livened
by a white frill of some sort sticking
out under the chin. A decidedly good
looking one Of this order is made in
this way: Buy half yard of heavy
black satin or grosgrain ribbon.
Make this the exact size of the neck,
boning 1t so that it will not sag loose
ly about the throat. The ribbon should
be very wide so that 1t can be laid
over in fat plaits around the throat.
These are tackled down in place. Do
not fasten in the center back, but on
one side, where a row of tiny white,
fiat pearl buttons is placed. These
run up and down; a similar row being
placed at the side opposite. The row
of buttons should come directly under
each ear.
Now comes the piece de resistance
of the entire stock. These are square
tabs of white faille which unfold, petal
like, beneath the chin. One square
comes directly under the chin, one on
either side of the face, another d.
rectly behind each ear and a last one
in the back of the collar. These
square pieces are wired to stand out
like Pierrot ruff and are a very chic
and pretty finish to the somber stock.

ALL HAVE MILITARY EFFECT
Cut and Trimming Of New BIouses
Are Alike In This Respect In
the Seasons Styles.

The military effect of trigness and
trimness is carried out not only on the
cut Of the new blouses, but also in
their trimmings. Edges are bound
with narrow braid, buttons are used
in close ranks and bows and all sorts
of silk loops and ornaments simulate
military frogs. A stunning blouse of
coffee-colored golden-rod satin-the
supple. soft satin so liked for blouse
wear-has a buttoned-up collar in
chOker style and link cuffs fastened
with white pearl buttons. Four
frogs" of white silk cord, with loops
caught over immense ball buttons COW
cred with the coffee satin, appear to
fasten the blouse fronts, but under
meath are hidden snap fasteners, a
safer and saner closing than the wide
ly separated frogs. A blouse of dutch
blue georgette crepe is trimmed with
black edge binding braid and small
eagle brass buttons in true military
style.
One of the most striking new i'm
ported blouses. fresh from Paris, is
charming model of sheerest white
voile. embroidered with big yellow
centered daisies, and a smart black
tie. Pintucking and hemstitching and
small motifs of hand embroidery add
their quota of prettiness to the new
spring blouses, which are so soft in
material and so delectable in color.

NEW IDEA IN DECORATION
People Have Learned the Value Of
Black and White as Means of Sc.
curing Color Effect.

Black and white have taken the
world of interior decorations by
storm. And the combination isn't
only a fad; 1t promises to last, now
that We have discovered how much
character to articles and rooms can be
given by this color effect Even the
bedroom has not been spared-or
1t has been honored. whichever way
you look at it-with the aJtention OF
black and white, and we find black
rugs on white floors, and white beds
and furniture and woodwork, and
sometimes black curtains, and now
there have been introduced the most
charming lingerie sets for the bed,
dressing-table, dresser and chiffonier'
the set sometimes including from one
to half a dozen boudoir pillows. That
part of the lingerie used for the bed
includes a spread, bolster slip and
pillows or shams. II a bolster roll is
used. then only the bolster throw Is
needed, doing away with the neces-
sity of the bolster slips and shams.
The black-andwhite lingerie bed
TOOm set may De eInDTOlueTeu III any
design that you would use for the
all-white embroidery set. The ma
terial used is rather heavy white
linen. The design is worked in black
mercerized cotton. 1t must be very
carefully worked on the wrong side,
few, If any, connecting threads being
used when passing from one design
to another.
If you do not wish to use black
curtains at the window, lawn cur
tains with black figures are good sub
stitutes. If shades are used with the
curtains, they should be either all
black or white. A black-and-white
carpet may be used instead OF all
white or all black. Black carpet with
white rugs, or vice versa, is also ef-
fective. The boudoir pillows should
be of white embroidered In black.
They should not, however, be placed
over black pillows, as in the case OF
pink or blue pillows. White pillows
must be used for the purpose or the
pillow slips will look soiled. A black
and-white room would prove pleasing
to man.

The Judge had declared his neces-
sity to be greater than hers, and after
Mr.. Black had subjected him to one OF
his most searching looks he decided
that this was SO, and quietly departed
upon his errand. The Judge left alone,
sat, a brooding figure in his great
chair, with no light in heart or mind
to combat the shadows of approaching
night settling heavier and heavier up
on the room and upon himself with
every slow passing and intolerable
minute.

parted and darkness reigned supreme

"One moment, Mrs. Scoville. How
