ARTISTIC DISPLAY

1n tRo of the front windowa of Taylor, Drury, Pedlar & CO, gen. eral merchandising store, are ar tistically displayed several useful as well as ornamental articles Of home manufacture contributed by their makers to the I. o. D. E. for raffle at the annual bazaar which takes place today in N. S. A. A. hall, com- menting at 3 ?. m and continuing throughout the evening.
 The corner window of the dry goods department is devoted to the exhibition of a five-piece set of furniture, comprising bedstead, bu- reau, table and two chiars, donated by Chas. Counsins, and patchwork quilt, donated by Mrs. Chas. COgh- Ian. The window is beautifully de- corated with silver black and silver gray fox skins and in the back ground is g lilac colored banner wit the letters l. o. D. E. printed, upon it. The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes occupy prominent place
 In the south front window of the grocery department is seen a library table, magnificent piece of work turned out by Archie Gould, and contributed by him to the Yukon Chapter. This window, too, is appropriately decorated.
 In the same window, also on eX- hibit but not @ part of the display above described, is a mammoth turDip, grown on the ranch of George Brown at Carmacks. It was placed in the window by MT. isaac Taylor and the reason for it's con- spicuousness is that everyone is in YiteG to guess at it's weight, the one coming the nearest to be awarded a sack Of sugar. The proceeds will be given to the Chapter. The price of a guess is ten cents, and al ready a goodly sum has been reaIiz- ed with every prospect Of the a mount being greatly augmented. - Whitehorse Star.

From "Over There"

Most all OF the parents and friends
of the enlisted boys from Jerome have
been receiving letters from them the
past week from Somewhere In
France" Below we give a portion
of an interesting letter received by
Mrs. r. S. Feurtado, from her son,
Harold. who ranks as Corporal in
the Ordnance Department:
Somewhere in France"
Sunday, Jan. 81, 1918.
Dear Mother:
This is beautiful Sunday day. /
have nothing to do, and no place to
go, so will make a few writings to
Home"
The weather here is ideal; the days
are warm like late spring and the
moonlight nights are a marvel. This
country is a real motorists paradise.
The country roads are as good and in
some instances better than some of
our boulevards. I'd certainly like to
have a car here.
There are in this camp quite
few French troops. we nave some
time trying to talk to them. They
are very congenial and want to make
friends. The funniest are the French
Chinese. They are of all sorts and
from all places-Siam, Thibet, Malay
and Algiers. They are as a rule short,
fat fellows and are seemingly always
happy. Their grins are life-sized. In
our travels so far we have met Scotch,
Irish. English, Canadians, Australi-
ans, South Africans. French. French
Algerians and French-Chines. Son
ny" has seen quite some of the coun-
try since he left the Valley of the
Snake" but at that the old Snake
River Desert would look good to sew
eral parties l know of.
There are rumors abroad of anoth-
er change in the Regiment soon. This
may or not effect our corps, but ]
hope not. Nothing seems certain yet.
We'd certainly be pleased to have
our little feet under the table at
home about feed time. Our grub
is o. X I'm eating with the supply
Co. and they are the best feeders"
In the regiment. but you and ! used
to get along pretty well.
Has the Short Line cut of stopped
running? I've had four letters from
Bobbie but none from home. Guess
they must have changed their sched-
ule some more and haven't made con-
nections with the main line trains.
The only other news know of is
that we took a bath this morning and
now feel like million dollars, or at
least several Francs and lots of cen
times.
Guess I've said m, say so I'll close
with lots of love,
Harold.

AN OFFICIAL STORY TELLER
Libraries In Canada Find Special Fea-
ture for the Entertainment of
Children is Worth While.

In several of the public libraries of
Canada story telling to children has
for some years been special feature,
says an exchange. Each Saturday morn
ing from fifty to one hundred children
assemble at the library ina room set
apart for the. purpose and called the
"Children's Room" The ages of the
children vary from six to fourteen
years.
At st. John. New Brunswick. story
telling has been continued now for
three years. This year 1t has been
found advisable to divide the children
according to age and to hold two
classes of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown in interest,
and the demand for books of less
trivial type justifies the work of the
committee In charge. During the sum
mer, when opportunity offers and n
story-teller of note is a guest of the
city, notice is given to the library, and
II is often possible to have special
session.
