articles; when published in one
section or state, they could be re-
turned to the bureau and sent out
again.
The above is but the briefest out
line of a plan for advertising Ha-
waii, which can be put in opera
ton for few dollars, and which
promises to do more towards max
ing this country known than all
other schemes combined. 1t is a
plan which would cause hundreds,
probably thousands, of articles on
Hawaii to appear every month in
the American press, and which, in
time, would dissipate the dense
darkness which prevails on the
Continent concerning the sea-girt
nation. Another point in favor of
this plan is its cheapness, as a
comparatively small amount would
carry on the work of the bureau.

A Generous People.

America is proverbially generous,
and the successful termination of
the voyage of the Indiana with
$500 tons of breadstuffs for starv-
ing Russians is but one of many
samples of it's iberality. Not one
cent was expended for any detail
of the shipment of the Indiana's
enormous cargo food. The cargo
was a present to Russia. The rail
roads transported the grain and
-four free, truckmen in Philadel-
phia carted it free, stevedores
loaded it free-even the insurance
of $75, 900 was contributed, the In
surance Company of North Amer
lea giving $4,000 of it. Such
work Americans are justly proud

ADVERTISING HAWAII.
BY f. ELLSWORTH CAREY.

The way to advertise Hawaii is
through the daily Honolulu press.
Copies of one or both dailies should
be mailed weekly to every county
paper published in the U. S.
The weekly editions are too bulky
and contain too much matter.
Suppose short, interesting arti-
Gle describing some point of in
terest in this country was printed
in the ADVERTISER or Bulletin ;
then send marked copy to each
county weekly in America. The
article would be copied into hun
dreds, possibly thousands of
papers, and it would be read by
half million persons. To insure
the insertion of the article in ques-
ton, send with each paper a cir
cular stating that each paper print
ing the article would receive gra-
tuitously specially written letter
on Hawaiian topics.
Of course a bureau should be
formed to take charge of the work
of disseminating information about
Hawaii. Give the American news
papers the proper kind of copy and
they will send it broadcast over
the continent free of cost. But
they don't like to print stuff out OF
a book, pamphlet or paper which
is an advertisement on the face.
For this reason through the Homo.
lulu daily press is by far the best
means of distributing information
All editors give the credit to any
thing which appears in a contem-
porary in the line of news or gen
eral information, and any rura.
weekly in the States would be glaC
to print every month a Hawaiian
letter.
There is only one way to educate
the American people about Hawai-
> and that is through the American
press. Americans do not know
anything they do not read il
their newspaper, and SO we mus
reach them through their journals

No. 1O6.-A Boys Choice.

Mr. Smith called his son Sam to him and
told him that he was old enough to be
learning a trade, and he must make up his
mind very soon what trade he would fol-
low, that steps might be taken toward
securing an apprenticeship for him. Sam
mic went to his room and sat down to
think. At length he took a pencil and
paper and wrote down all the trades he
could call to mind; but, in his perturba-
ton of mind, he got the letters somewhat
mixed. Below is his list, also his com
ments:
|. RENT GRAPE. "No, that sounds too
mournful."
9. BREAK. That sounds too much like
being dead broke"
3. ERR, NIPT. THAT seems as if should
go wrong, then all my plans would be
nipped in the bud"
4. No SAM. THAT tells me plainly not
to try it,"
s. CHEAT-TRIC II certainly want moth
ing of this, for to be successful one must
avoid cheating tricks"

couraging than any of the Others"

Mrs. Seymour Howells tells this story:
"In Washington territory we needed just
one more vote in the legislature to give
us the right of suffrage. The only man we
had any hope of was one whose wife had
almost persuaded him. When the roll call
came, and just about the time this man S
name was to be called, man who was
fighting the bill took a stand by his side.
His wife was asked if there was any hope
of getting him TO change his vote, and said:
No; have said everything could say to
him. Write TO him, suggested some one.
Write love letter And this is what she
said to him:
"'My darling, If you love me vote for
woman suffrage
THAT love letter carried the day. He
was just about to cast his vote when the
note reached him. He opened it, read it,
and then in a voice that rang through the
chambers, said:

Mothers IA, a Dolls Tea Party.

Let the mother, when she is invited to a
dolls tea party, hay aside her book or work
and go in earnest, as if it were real party
She will soon find that she is the most
welcome guest--that even the doll does
not receive half so much attention. Let
her put herself aside and enter into the life
of the child, and she will find dolls party
a delightful occasion, the flavor of the
"crystal tea" much superior to the finest

a child happy A smile, caress, five

In olden times it was not considered a
good omen to find money. Melton says
that ''it is sign of i'll luck to find money"
We have seen superstitious persons at the
present day keep for luck any piece of
money they found, but Greene, in very old
work, tells us, IT'S i'll lucke to keep found
money" Therefore it must be spent
Mason, in his "Anatomie of Sorcerie," 1912,
enumerating our superstitions mentions
as one omen of good luck, "If drink be
spilled upon man; or if he find old iron. ="
Hence it is accounted a lucky omen to find
a horseshoe.

Gently a woman sixty years old, who
had never been away from the hot
pavements and brick walls of a large
city, felt very sorry for her, and did
not wonder that she looked from the

who have never been to the country
often make speeches that seem funny

beauties.
