tells me he understands that Hawaii
is to be represented, but that the
space for her exhibit may grow con
siderably less If there is much more
delay 1 would therefore urge the
Bureau at Honolulu to do something
promptly, and not to remain IN dor

here want to know more about coffee
and the business resources of the

Large crowds of people are going

POINTS FOR CLERKS.

During last summer there was
held in London a naval exhibition
called "The Navalies." At the en-
trance, in large gilt letters, were
printed a few lines of rhyme called
''The Rule of the Road" which are
supposed to constitute the intro
duction to the sailors catechism.
Here they are:
"When you see three lights ahead
Port your helm and show your red"
eff to starboard red appear
IT'S your duty to keep clear"
"Both in safety and in doubt
Always keep good lookout"
The last stanza it would be well
for every young man to print and
hang on the wall of his room. 1t
is as good for the clerk as for
midshipman. To many destruc-
ton comes from sheer carelessness,
induced by a false sense of securi-
ty and strength. This "rule of the
road" is worthy of a place in every
young mans memory album.
The trouble often caused by neg
Letting to perform ones duty is
illustrated by a writer in Mixed
Stocks as follows:
=" We'll, if here amt a bundle
we promised to send Mrs. NJ
tonight sure fell from the lips of
Jack Collins, the clerk, as he dis
covered it had fallen out of a bas-
ket of packages and rolled behind
box, to be brought to light just
as things were being put in shape
for the next days work. Jack
looked at his watch and found it
to be quarter to ten. 1t was a
mile away, bad walking, a part of
the path without a sidewalk, and
altogether an unpleasant GRAND to
perform for young fellow who was
tired and sleepy, so he said: They
will be in bed before [ can get
there, and tomorrow will do, if an
apology goes with the goods But
tomorrow did not do, and the apol-
ogy did not make the careless neg
lect right. The package contained
a purchase for a visiting friend,
whose departure was delayed by
its failure to arrive as promised.
The friend met with an accident
during the day, the accident re-
suited in tedious illness and fin
ally death. Mrs. NJ was not
of a forgiving nature. She was
angry at the disappointment, and
before the body of her friend found
its last resting place she vowed she
would never buy another cents
worth of goods at that store. She
never did, and the store lost it's
best cash customer, with some
others to whom the circumstances
were related.
"People often hear the wise
adage, Never put off till tomorrow
what should be done to-day but
few think it of sufficient conse-
quence to invariably heed it. We
regard it, however, as one of the
things a busy merchant ought not
to neglect. Each day has its own
burdens, and is likely to rebel
against being laden with those Of
the day previous. Tomorrow will
not do."-[ American Grocer.

Pugilism is apparently not the
noblest of professions. If anyone
is fitted to adorn it in a gentleman
ly way it is Jim Corbett. Yet the
champion has had to eat the leek
in a refusal to admit him as a
guest at certain Eastern hotel.
He was turned away not on his
own account, but because the cream
of society in the wake of champions
is not select and desirable. This
hotel must cater to very select
company of guests, accustomed to
dine upon peacock's brains and to
listen to rhapsodies from poets too
eminent for public fame. Corbett's
farewell to the hotel clerk must
have been pathetic.-[Ex.

foul with sewage impurities, and
cholera germs thrive under such
