FRED WELLER SENDS INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS
 FROM THE OUTSIDE

TACOMA, Nov 25.--As this Is Thanksgiving day and also the fact that It Is raining continuously and the said rain being accompanied with many peals of thunder and much light ming. methinks that hte fates ordained that should remain at home and in- dite you few lines which had been so promised you. Our voyage southward on the Senator was a very pleasant one With the exception of one rough day on the Boring sea side Of the pass and one rough day on the Pacific side, outside of that the voyage was un- eventful only for the fact that We made the trip down in nine days and arrived at Seattle at the ungodly hour Of three a m. and even at that hour there needs must be some inQuisitive Nomeites at arouse everybody so as to satisfy he landing who must come abroad ana their curiosity as to who came out, and any sleep after tieing up to dock "ah uuposSiple. 4He NlclOlId drFlNeu at more reasonable hour of nine a m. and on the dock was a reception committee of about 500 Nomeites and ,.-->Asst them you would see

year previous Delmar had more than
once eased the poverty of the patient,
plodding widow, who went out as

DELMAR'S VACATION

"a leave of absence for a month, -
spoke the manager Of Morgan & Co.,
"and your salary check for the full
month in advance"
"But I never asked for a vacation" "
explained Lionel Delmar.
That's why!" smiled the manager.
1.-The firm considers that a man who
has worked without a rest for five
years needs and deserves a Yaca-
ton"
I'm sure I am grateful and
glad" observed Delmar, warming up
to the subject as he saw untram-
meled freedom and variety ahead of
him. "By the way, Pm going to bury
myself with gun and rod up in the
Wilds of Wisconsin. I'll send you
some deer. How would that do?"

"And the cashier, who has been al
most as good a friend to me as your
self, a hamper of rare brook trout,
eh?"
Hell appreciate it"
Quite jolly Delmar felt over it all
as the idea of vast, pleasurable
change began to grow on him. Time
was when he could not have afforded
the jaunt. But he now felt that it
was coming to him and he had 5000
saved up. Saturday was only two
days ahead and he spent half of the
evening looking over sportsmen's
catalogues and selecting a list for his
hunting and camping outfit.
Then he went out and purchased a
basket of fruit and some bakery .tri-
f1es and proceeded to a near, but
much less pretentious, building than
the one in which he roomed.
