brothers, Fred and Mis-, on a
farm northwest of \ town, died

He had worked together with
his brothers out in the field in
the afternoon and at about 5
o'clock as he was cutting bread

manhood in his native country

when he came to Askov togeth-
er with his brother, Rasmus
Frederiksen, and the latter's
family, and with whom he made
his home the first few years here.
Rasmus Frederiksen died about
ii years ago. Since then Erik
Frederiksen has kept house to-
gether with two other brothers,
Fred and Mis-.
Erik Frederiksen was well
known to. all the oldtimers here
as a quiet, peaceful law-abiding
citizen and friendly neighbor.
He was never married.
Aside from the two brothers
here and niece, Mrs. J. E. Clegg,
Mr.. Frederiksen leaves two bro
theirs and three sisters in Den
mark.
The funeral was conducted
from the local Danish Lutheran
church Saturday afternoon, Rev.

sen, Hans G.. Hansen, Sam Larsen,

Description of Fire
 Which Destroyed Hall
 In Anchorage Friday

The following account of the de strution of Robart's Hall at Anchor age, Friday night, was given by Hen ry Stoy, captain of Company I of the Anchorage fire department.
 4 boxing contest had been held in the hall upstairs that evening, which was attended by a large crowd. After checking up and closing the place for the night, Mr. RObarts retired to be awakened about 2:3O by the smell of smoke. He looked after the stoves and then opened up the door that leads down into the main hall vol ume of dense smoke and flames drove him back into his room. Grab bing up one of his grandchildren, age two, he awoke Mrs. Robarts and his daughter, Mrs. Mona Glaze, and her baby, and all fled down the stairs.
 The fire had been discovered in the meantime by Carl Lottsfeldt, who turned in the alarm, but by this time the structure was mass of flames,
 and the streams of water were turned on adjoining buildings to save them.
 The old Elks home on the left, and Wandling's fur store on the right were saved by strenous effort on the part of the firemen, nine large streams of water being played on the flames by the new La France fire truck, and but small damage was done. The walls of Robarts' Hall are standing but the
 building is completely gutted. The fire siren was found to be frozen and many residents knew nothing of the fire until next day
 MT. Stoy said that hereafter the si- ren would be tested each day during the winter months.
 MT. Stoy, who has been engaged in business recently sold his interests in Anchorage and was an outgoing passenger on the steamship North western and will visit his old home in Spokane before locating in busi- ness again.

Combined to Make Smart Suits
BY MARY MARSHALL.

snugly fitting jacket of navy blue,
for instance, with waistcoat and
skirt of beige.
The snug part OF the jacket, you
know, is through the shoulders and
upper part of the sleeves. Your tai
lored tweed suit is no longer the
slipshod, sacklike affair it was few
years ago. Sometimes, they say,
there is not room enough beneath one
of the new tailored Jackets for even
a thin shirt or blouse-hence it is
worn with a gilet or false 'front.'
or there is a high waistcoat tha I
needs only A stock or scarf of some
sort to complete it.
Some of the new suit skirts are of
the wrap-around variety-diminu-
tive affairs that require amazingly
little material when made in Paris.
Sometimes they have the inverted
box pleat at tho front that has
proved TO be such a successful meth :
cd of introducing fullness into a
skirt without taking from its
straightness.
We no longer consider the tailored
suit as an appropriate affinity for
every and all sorts of accessories.
We no longer wear it with a pic
turesuue feather hat. drop earrings.
georgette blouse, white kid gloves
and velvet slippers. That is why il
is rather difficult to wear, for every
accessory of the tailored costume
must be chosen because of some
quality of special fitness.

FOR HIM
were tied to the post. That made him
still more suspicious. He flew to another
tree, and there for a long time he sat
silent and watchful. But Farmer
Browns Boy didn't appear And at last
Blacky made up his mind to have a
closer look at that corn.
He flew over and alighted on that
fence post. Even then he hesitated for
some time to try that corn. But finally
he began to pick at 1t. Then he made
up his mind that there wasn't any trick.
He made a shrewd guess. He guessed
that Farmer Browns Boy had put that
corn out there especially for him Cav

What Tomorrow Means to
You.
Aquarius.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
benign during the morning and after
noon and favor all Sunday observ-
ances and recreations. In the eve
ming the conditions are adverse and
denote dissensions, discussion and
disagreement. In order that these
undesirable difficulties may be avoid
ed, care must be exercised in order
to avoid loss of temper. Poise and
equilibrium must be maintained if
npleasant consequences especially
in the home-are to be guarded against.
A child born tomorrow will be
quite normal, and, although it will
be subject to the ordinary ailments
of infancy, these will not deter it
from attaining physical normaley.
It's disposition. while ordinarily amia-
BILE and gay, will, at other times. be
morose and excessively introspective.
In its happy moments it will seek
the companionship of its mates and
comrades. AT other times it will
seek solitude and reject the associa
tion of its friends. Its character will
be a strong one, and it will be both
loyal and affectionate, especially to
the members of its own family. Ev
ery effort must be made in early
youth to cure this child of it's morbid
tendencies. as these, if persisted in
will grow and eventually overshadow
the bright and happy times to which
like all human beings, 1T is heir.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are very affectionate, although
changeable. You seem more disposed
to be the perennial victim of violent
infatuations than the beneficiary of
a sincere love. No lover is more at
tentive than you; erone more per-
sistent. and you really persuade
yourself and others that this time
1t is real love-" No sooner, how
ever. do you anticipate success than
disillusionm comes. Marriage at
an early age for such one is cal
culated to bring around a sequel that
happiness.
In your work, too, you cannot con-
centrate on one thing and stick at it
until accomplishment is the result.
You jump from one thing to another,
and no good purpose is served. You
are by no means lazy. nor do you
lack ambition. You are wanting in
the power of concentration and what
is better known as stick at i've
ness" If you could resolve to con-
centrate your affections on one per-
son. and your efforts on one task,
your cup of pleasure would be full
to overlooking.
Well known persons born on that
date are. Charles L. Tiffany, former
jeweler; Carter II. Harrison, form er
mayor of Chicago; lilhu Root. for
mer Secretary of State; Charles b.
Brush, civil engineer; Charles r.
Plunkett. u. S. N, in command of
Brooklyn navy yard; John Barrymore,

Supplies q suffering neighbor's need
-Blacky the Grow

Farmer Browns Boy stopped running
as he saw Blacky the Crow fly out of
the henhouse and watched him disap-
pear in the Green Forest. cawing as if
he thought himself very clever.
WELL" said Farmer Browns Boy, 81
never before have known Blacky to trust
himself inside of anything. He must
have been hungry. In fact, he must have
been almost starving. Nothing less
woul have made him bold enough to
walk right into that henhouse. l hadn' t
thought of Blacky. OF course, with
everything frozen over he must find 1t
mighty hard work to get a mouthful.
He saw that, henhouse door open and
saw the hens picking up corn. He was
SO hunghy that he just took a chance.
I'll fix him.
Now, that sounded like a threat. 1t
sounded as If Farmer Browns Boy
meant to do something to BIAcky the
Grow. He didn't. He intended to do
something for Blacky. He went straight
into the barn, and when he came out he
brought with him several ears of corn.
These he took over to the fence, some
distance away. and tied them to one of
the fence posts.
There" said he, that black rascal
will be sure to find these, for those
sharp eyes OF his don't miss any tnlng.
He can eat over here in comfort 1t isn't
near enough to the house to make him
nervous guess that while this icy
crust lasts / will have to keep Blacky
supplied with food. The Green Forest
wouldn't be right without Blacky the
Grow. No, sir, it wouldn't be right.
Blacky is as much part Of the Green
Forest as the trees themselves"
Now, though Blacky had disappeared
from Farmer Browns Boys sight he
himself could see Farmer Browns Boy.
He saw Farmer Browns Boy doing some
thing at that post, and he became very
curious As soon as Farmer Browns
Boy had gone back to the house Blacky
few to a tree where he could see that
post better. He blinked his sharp eyes
several times.
THAT looks to me very much like
corn" said Blacky to himself Yes, sir.
that is corn or / don't know corn when
/ see it. But what did Farmer Brown g
Boy leave it on that fence post for? He
never has done such thing before
