ALL RIGHT, LAUGH!

The error in one Of the headlines Of
last weeks issue, proclaiming that
Burton Resident Totally Destroyed
has evoked number of hearty laughs
for which everyone who has laughed
is that much better off. Not only
that, but 1t has boosted the sale of
extra copies of the issue, one facetious
Burton gentleman having purchased
six copies and clamoring for more,
which we will sell to him only on his
promise to see to 1t that we get into
slips that pass in the night"
Our only alibi is that the fault lies
at the door of whoever concocted this
foolish plan of having Christmas and
New Years come on day that makes
business concerns take an extra holt
day. And that old boy has been in
the next world so long we don't
imagine he's much concerned about
the confusion his old calendar makes.
Anyway we are glad that Intentionally
or otherwise we were able to make
somebody laugh before the first of the
month took all of the Joy out Of life.

". D. Covington
Resigns Position


After twelve years Of committing
through fair weather and foul, w. d
Covington has decided to become a
country gentleman and has resigned
his position with the Corporation
Counsel after twenty-one years Of con-
tinuous service. Previous to that he
was clerk Of the Federal court for
about eight years, so taking every
thing into consideration Mr.. Covington
seems Justified In feeling that he is
entitled to rest. His resignation be-
came effective the first Of the year.
Coming to Seattle from Kansas as
a youngster, the year before the Seat
tie fire, Mr.. Covington belongs to
Washington as truly as though he
were native son. When the Spanish
American War was declared he was a
member Of the first Washington regi-
ment that was formed. He has prac-
ticed law in Seattle continuously since
his admission to the bar. He has been
active politically as well as profession
ally and 1t is with real regret that his
associates In the city see him relin-
gushing his activities In their midst.
But Seattle's loss will be vashon Is
lands gain as Mr.. Covington is not
the type to indulge in idleness and in
between times, when the tulips and
chickens on the West Side ranch do
not require his attention he will help
out, as in the past, in local affairs.
He is now secretary-treasurer of the
West Side Water Company. AS a
member of the board Of trustees of the
Seattle Young Business Mems Club, he
is the representative Of the South Dis
trict of which the Island is part.
At farewell luncheon at the Frye
Hotel last Friday noon, given by the
force Of his office; Mr.. Covington was
presented with beautiful brief case
which will be useful when he is de-
Tending the rights Of some Island
client for he has not entirely given
up the practice Of law. Mr.. Covington
has been the inspiration Of number
of other luncheons and dinners dur
ing the past few weeks, his friends
endeayoring to show in this manner
how reluctantly they sever the associ-
alton of many years.
The ranch, which he has owned for
twenty-five years, and where MIR. and
Mrs. Covington have lived for the past
twelve years will be the scene of Mr..
Covington's future activities.

Spends Christmas
With His Father

One of the items that was overlook
ed last week, and which will interest
some Of the older residents of the Is
land was the family dinner Christmas
Eve at the J. Therkelsen home at
Center.
On this occasion Mr.. Therkelsen was
happy to have with him four Of his
children, Mrs. Edwards, Otto and Al
bert, all Of Center and Eric, Of Boze-
man. Mont. They with their families
made happy group which also in
cluded Mr.. Therkelsen's sister, Mrs.
j. Hansen and her daughter, Miss
sina. ALI enjoyed a bountiful turkey
dinner. The only flaw was the alb
sence of Frank, who lives at Sedro-
wooley.
It is noteworthy that Mr.. Therkelsen
now almost 81 years of age, and his
sister, Mrs. Hansen, who has past her
slst birthday were both in good spirits,
In full possession Of their faculties and
able to enjoy to the fullest, without
any physical after effects, the family
reunion, the good dinner and the we'll
ladened Christmas tree.
The most interesting feature of the
evening was the accounts of the Eric
Therkelsen family, consisting of Prof.
and Mrs Therkelsen and their son of
high school age, who have spent the
past year in Germany, where Prof.
Therkelsen spent his time in research
work. All studied German during
their stay and the son completed his
first year of high school work there.
Following the completion of his re-
search work Prof. Therkelsen took his
family to northern Germany for visit
with the many relatives of his family
still living there. He found many
cousins, but only one uncle was still
living. The many pictures which he
Drought back were intensely interest,"
ing particularly to his father, aunt
and Miss Sina, who were familiar with
the scenes where the pictures were
taken. 1t is doubtful if the University
of Montana profited by what he learn
ed during his studies abroad half as
much as did the home folks by the
pleasure they received from the visit
he had made to the old home.
Prof. and Mrs. Therkelsen and SON
after remaining a few days on the Is
land went to Seattle where they visit
ed Mrs. Therkelsen's people. They left
for Bozeman Sunday evening where
the professor will resume his teaching
January 9th.

The Landers Home
Totally Destroyed

A spectacular fire late Sunday after
noon destroyed the Landers home or
tNsSscross' Landing road, and very
nearly claimed the life of the owner
Mrs. Elizabeth Landers. helpless In
valid. The origin Of the fire will never
be known, for there was no witness
as to what portion of the roof first
burst into flames.
Dan Landers, who was returning
from the ferry, to which he had taken
his mothers housekeeper, first saw the
blaze through the trees as he drove
into his own yard, short distance
through the woods from his mothers
home, Calling for help he ran to the
rescue Of his mother who had been
left asleep and alone In the house. The
entire roof was ablaze ns he rushed
into the house to carry his mother
out. Had he been few minutes late
her rescue would have been impossible.
Neighbors, summoned by phone,
succeeded in saving the piano and a
rug, but aside from this. and a few
small pieces Of furniture the house.
contents and outbuildings were all
totally destroyed. The ten room frame
house made excellent material for the
fierce blaze famed by q strong wind.
Contrary to the rumor that the
Landers house was some As or SO
years old the home destroyed on Sun
day was built thirty years ago on the
site of the old homestead home. True
the Landers family came to the Is
land when homesteads were still avail
able. but this was the second house on
their property, not the original one.
The loss of the home and its con-
tents amounts to more than $1,000.

Exchange Club
Brings Cheer

Despite adverse financial conditions
the Exchange Club, Of Seattle, again
demonstrated their same fine spirit
toward the Goodwill Farm and
brought Christmas cheer to the
twenty-six inmates.
A few weeks before Christmas Chas.
England upon inquiry as to what they
would be able to do in the way of the
annual gift to the residents Of the
Goodwill Farm, was informed that so
many of their members were in actual
need that 1t was not at all likely that
anything could be done. MIR. England
in his communication had informed
the Club that the greatest need Of
the old folks at the home was under
wear and stockings. Nothing more
was heard In regard to the matter, so
Mr. England and Mrs. johnson, super
intendent of the home, Joined forces
and had ready for each inmate warm
pair of stockings, In addition to the
usual Christmas treat ALI plans were
made for a good old fashioned Christ
mas tree and the regular Christmas
Eve observance which makes real
home for the members of Mrs. John
sons big family at the Farm.
Great was the surprise of both Mr..
England and Mrs. johnson on satur-
day afternoon to receive huge parcel
from the Exchange Club containing a
suit OF underwear and stockings for
every man and woman living at the
Farm. Reluctant to allow Christmas
to pass without following their annual
Christmas custom the members Of the
Exchange Club had turned the prob
lem over to the ladies of the organiza-
ton who with characteristic ingenuity
and skill, managed in some way, not
explained, to provide these gifts that
not only brought cheer to the old
people, but will continue to bring com
fort for months to come. Only women
could have realized the problem facing
those responsible for the comfort and
well being of these people at the Farm
and would have made the tremendous
effort to raise the funds for this cloth
ing.
10 many on the Island the Ex-
change Club of Seattle is merely the
name of an organization, but to the
poor and friendless who have been
helped through the ministrations at
the Goodwill Farm it represents the
application of practical Christian
principles that are helping keep level
world threatened with social up
heaval. In the face OF the mis-
management that threatened the
Farm at the beginning the Exchange
Club has stood by, paying for the
property, caring for taxes and insur-
ance, strong in the conviction that
given time adjustments would come
whereby the original purpose of the
place would be accomplished. Under
the efficient management of Mrs.
johnson and the conservative direc-
ton of MIR. England the Farm is now
paying Its own way.
And so, with the passing of the
Yuletide of 1882 the Exchange Club
has added another good deed to the
long list already to its credit.
