made to suffer for such shot sighted policy
by Determinations against American goods.
The Samoan islands lie right in the track
of steamers plying between San Francisco
AMI Australia, and the richness of their nat
ural resources is known to every school boy.
The climate is perfectly healthful and the
natives bear the reputation of being the most
virtuOus and honest Of all X lnakas. Strenu-
Gus effIrts have been IN 10 by the natives to
place their islands under the protection of
the United States. II the voice of the peo-
pie could influence the matter they would
give an almost unanimous vote at any time.
The valuable aud rapidly increasing bust
ness of Apia is conducted by half dozen
AMI erican firms aud several English and
GermaLs. The lions share falls into the hands
of the Hamburg company. They own most
of tue cotton aud coffee plantations and ex-
poit most of the copra, the most valuable
product of the islands. The unfortunate
state of affairs now existing in Samoa may
be traced to great extsnt, to this company.
immense tracts of lands have been added to
their already valuable possessions, until
they own the greater part Of the land fit for
cultivation on the island of Upoln Some of
it is cultivated, but great deal remains in
primitive forest that would cost time and
money to clear, and which represents an in-
vestment from which no return may be ex-
pected for considerable time There was
some talk of the New Zealanders buying out
the Hamburg company's interests in the
landed property, but this was abandoned in
favor of Il scheme to induce the German
government TO assume n protectorate over
the Samoan islands.

What a Woman Can Do.

As wife or mother women can make the
fortune aud happiness of her husband and
children aud if they did nothing else, surely
this would be sufficient destiny. By her
thrift, prudence and tact she can secure to
her partner and to herself a competency in
old age, no matter how small the beginning
or how adverse fate may be theirs. By
her cheeifulness she can restore her hus-
bands spirit shaken by the anxieties of bus
mess. By her tender care she can often re-
store him to health if disease has overtasked
his powers. BY her counsel and love she
can win him from bad company if tempta-
tion in an evil hour has led him astray. By
her example, her precepts and her sex's in-
sight into character she can mould her
children, however lverse their dispositions,
into noble men and women. And by leading
in all things true and beautiful life, she
can refine, elevate and spiritualize all who
come within reach so that, with others of
her sex emulating and assisting her, she can
do more to regenerate the world than all the
statesmen or reformers that ever legislated.

suits of the sweat of their brow to an absen-

The reason is they have been crowded out
Of their rightiul heritage by land sharp cor
pIrltiOns and monnpoies who have stolen
the public lands. And this has been done
too often by the conuivance Of the Federal

Let quick retrocession be made or our
country will be transformed with n nation of

Filthy King Street.


On rainy afternoon of the present week
the writer stepped into store along King
street market to speak to the store keeper
and for the additional reason of temporary
shelter from the rain which had at that
moment commenced pouring down heavily.
While conversation was gong on attention
was drawn to man who stood emptyiug the
contents of large basket of decayed vege-
table matter into the gutter "What is that
man doing Is he not a market-man, and
does he not know he is trausgressing the
law in doing that?
There was a smile and supercilious "oh
yes, suppose" drawled out in reply to the
remark "That's nothing" one of the par
ty continued 'they do it right along, you may
see them any day along this market dump
their dccayed fruit and vegetables into
the gutter. Nobody prevents them l sup
pose, and they fiud it the easiest way to do. :"
"Well," another inquired elias not the
Board of Health or the clerk of the market
some authority here, can they pot stop it ?n
"Dun't know, but whoevey's duty it is
certainly does not look after il, for you may
see all kinds of often and dec wed vegetables
clogging the gutter. rhe ste ch sometimes
10. ,,,,t,
stop these men,"
"Ah, there he is again y
This exclamation drew the attention OF the
party who witnessed the same man rolling a
barrel of vegetable sweepings and refuse
towards the curb. This was dumped the
same as the last into The gutter
Fortunately at the time there was a good
rush Of rain water coursing along, which
gradually washed the refuse down the sharp
incline OF the gutter.
II guess" said bystaudef she expects
that the rain will wash it all away quickly"
"That may be- added another,''but all the
slme, he knows be is doing wrong, he is
either helper in that store OR else truck
, farmer and knows-ar about N 4tegulaltiuns
on those matters.'
1t was stated by Others that il is required
of all meu doing business on KING street that
their refuse matter should be put in barrels
ready for the garbage cart,
"But We never see the garbage cart, so
how can you expect us to heap up in our
stall fronts lot Of sinking offensive stuff
that would drive away every customer we
have!
Why don't you make complaints te the
Boaid of IIealth?"
''That's all very fine was the reply "the
secretary of The Board of Health is always
making big reports in the newspapers of the
hundreds of nuisances abated That's all
talk, if there were more work done and less
of tn" Dragging reports which we are tired
of seeing in the papers we'd be better salts

truth is that half the time the cutters iu

stenches and decent people are driven away

and city taxes but get mighty poor service

You Were a Flirt.

You were a flirt, they say; Annette,
But would l, if could, forget
The rosy days that swiftly flew
When life and love, and l and you,
Were young? Blue as the violet.
You kissed and gave-ah, coquette-
Your eyes your hair, golden net
Would snare mems hearts, e'en though they
knew
You were firt.
My life is one of vain regret,
[ loved love you yet
What ii Phillidas eyes are blue,
What If Prisclla's heart is true,
IT'S years and years since last we met,
You were a flirt !

Buchanan's Tragic Love Story.

President Buchanan's love story is historic,
and reads more like the conventional novel
of fifty years ago than plain fact. But it
happened just as tragedies happen every day
that are many times stranger than fiction.
When he was poor young lawyer he became
engaged to Miss Coleman, who belongs to one
of the richest, staidest aud it may be assum-
ed narrowest-minded and most purblind
families in Philadelphia. The Colemans by
no means approved of the match, but never
theless the young couple became engaged.
Mr.. Buchanan was then practising law in a
remote part of Pennsylvania, and iu those
days of stage coaches and saddle bags cor
respondence was liable to interruptions. Miss
Coleman's letters became irregular and then
got no reply. At last he determined to 60
to Philadelphia, but at Lancaster the stage
fered broken leg. He wrote again as soon
as he was able, but still heard nothing. Laid
up in country tavern, in the midst of
phenomenal snowstorm for six weeks, en-
bittered him aud he wrote Miss Coleman a
letter of fierce reproches, and then wrote no
more. How for Miss Colemans part Her
eminently respectable family from the begin
ming intercepted all of her letters and all of
Mr.. Buchanan's. She made all the appeals
to him woman could make, but she never
had line from him after be left Phiadel-
phia, except the last cutting etter-and as
unfortunately, it contained nothing but his
remuneration of her, she could know nothing
of what had preceded it, The eminently re-
spectacle family were satistied-the match
was broken off by means that would have
landed them all in .he penitentiary in these
days.
year or two afterwards Mr.. Buchanan
was in Philadelphia, and at ball came face
to face with Miss Coleman. Neither spoke,
and Mr. Buchanan paid marked attention to
another girl present. That night a young
friend who was staying with Miss Coleman
said to her, while the two girls were alone
in their room "Did you see Mr. Buchauan's
attentions to-? Now they might have been
yours bad you recognized him." Miss Cole
man began to sob violently. She would nj t
be soorhed aud her friend becoming alarmed,
called the family. OF what next happened
two accounts have been given one was that
she had taken poison but those who were
| near her said that she was simply suffering
| from uncomfortable menIal ansN,iaI, Toward
morning, when her pulse got so low that it
was scarcely perceptble, and her nervous
excitementh had changed into a profound stu
por, the doctors were sent for. But she was
past help. They never reused her. and she
Gird the next day of what the doctors called
nervous exhaustion, but which goes by the
name of broken heart. Then the truth
came to Mr. Bauchanan's ears, aud frou that
day his bachelorhood was assured. When
he was President the story was generally
known, and there were no reports about his
marriage as long as he was in the White

ranged in three classes: fakes, BIZ
zarres and picotees.
Flakes have two colors only, and
their stripes are large, going quite
through the petals.
Bizarres from odd, irrogular)

and stripes, and have not less than
three colors.

The Carnation is little known in
its wild state, though it has been
found in England on rocks and
walls. It was not known to the an .
clients in its cultivated state, but has
been a fayorite flower III Europe for
an indefinite length of time. 1t is
generally supposed to have been in
troduced from Germany or Italy,
in which countries it is more cult
waited than in England, Gerard in
1897 received it from Poland.
Of all the flowers that adorn the
garden, whether they charm the eye
by their beauty, or regale the sense
Of smelling by their fragrance, The
carnation may be Justly said to hole
the first rank. The stateliness of it,
growth, the brilliancy and diversity
of its colors, and the sweetness o
its perfume never fail to attrac
our regard and admiration. RI
tulip, though styled the queen o
the garden, cannot boast of NOR
admirers; they may with prophet
be considered the two master piece
of nature; and though rival beau
ties, may be said to share the so
voreignty of the garden equally be
tween them. Yet it must be admit
ted that the carnati0n independent
of its fragrance, has this adyantag,
over its rival, that it consumes Ion
ger in bloom and that when planted
in pots it can be removed to decor
