He Had to Pawn the Guns in order -
Get Food for tho Soldiers.
"reminiscences of life in the southern
seas were being told by a number of ac-
quaintanccs, says the Seattle Press
Times. They were all commercial
travellers, and two of them had been to
the islands.
''Old King Kalalsaua's ambition to
own a navy" said one, ''ended in one of
the best bits of international comedy
ever heard of. think the story, which
is perfectly true, is not generally
known, and have never seen it in
print
''For years the genial old barbarian
had gazed upon the greatness of the
navies Of other nations and cherished
the desire to be represented and have
the dignity of his kingdom sustained by
q real armed cruiser.
1.-THE moro he saw of the warships of
other nations lying in his own harbor
the more 1t preycd on his mind. At
last the happy day came when, he had
saved enough notwithstanding the ef-
forts of his ca abinet. officers, who tried
to tempt him to play freeze-out and
other games of hazard, to buy navy
for his beloved government. He had
already selected the vessel he was to
buy.
1T was the American ship Ethan
Allen. a serviccable craft bought of
Americans and armed with four ten
Founders.
Then Kalalsaua conceived an idea
of reciprocity with Samoa, the nearest
neighboring group whose dignity ap-
preached that of Hawaii.
''One fine day the Hawaiian navy
sailed off on its mission, and in time
reached the harbor of Apia. The flag
of The sugar islands was pretty sight
to the commander of the vessel, and the
gorgeous 'man-of-war' drove the Sa-
moane nearly wild with envy.
"Abrass band, made up of Kanalas,
played the national anthem every night
for lights out and every day the
dusky crew strutted along the beach
and looked disdainfully at the poor ma
tives of Apia.
After awhile the stores ran low. and
the Hawaiian navy was still two thou
sand miles from home. The command
er went TO the merchants of Apia and
ordered a store of salt-horse and sea-
bread. They wanted their pay in ad-
vance. The naval officer told them
with considerable dignity TO charge il.
ITO whom?' they asked.
"'To King Kslakaua.' was the reply.
"'Who is hep came next
THE officer pitied their ignorance,
but he couldn't enlighten them enough
TO get any stores on tick. lie finally
pawnea the beautiful ten-pounders for
enough to last during the homeward
passage.

A Suggestion for the New Year.

New South.
A New Year is approaching. South
ern farmers could make one New Year
resolution, which, it altered to, would
be valuable. Resolve to abandon the
one-crop and credit system, by raising
all farm supplies and bslying for cash
or do without 1t may prove something
of hardship during the first year; it
may be M ghty unhandy to put in prac-
tice, but he who goes bravely through
the food of self-sacritces and sur
mounts the difficulties that beset him,
will doubtless excIaim at the close OF
the coming year, | have fought good
fight and achieved a great victory"
Then will he see the shackles of debt
fall from his now fettered limbs and
walk forth a free man in all the con-
sclous pride OF being one of Gods no.
blest works.
There are, too, other reasons that are
weighty why the Southern farmers
should raise their own supplies. The
present prices Of produce are very
nearly unprecedented in the face of
the enormous yields with which our
common country has been blessed.
High prices at this time under present
conditions would seem to fore-shadow
even higher prices next fall. 1t is not
probable that the coming year will be
one OF such large harvests and the pro-
liability is that the unwise farmers and
planters, who fail to prepare for the
demands will find that their wiser
neighbors will be demanding greater
prices 10 furnish these supplies. Ii cot
ton should take IA turn in the scale of.
prices and 90 upward, instead of pur-
suing its downward tendency Of the
past year or two, so much the better.
To have less cotton to sell and less corn
and bacon to buy at advanced figures
in the value of each product would
mean a corresponding profit to the ag-
ricultural classes. A judicious assort-
ment of crops is likely to bring about
such results, and it Is to be hoped that
the farmers will consider the matter
with the intelligence and carefulness
that its Importance demands.

will be plenty next year. We AL know tn t..
But few will remember that, by an act of Con-
gress, with the beginning of next year the half

been in circulation for over half century will

piece will be substituted The new coins, it is
stated by the director of the mint. will be ladi
cally different from those now in use, and Of a
design that viii at once be recognized as hand

The Guardan-Journal, of Homer, has re-
opened the discussion of the suffrage question.
1t says:
A combination of the educational with the
property qualification for suffrage is the best
solution that is open for the South. This the
different States can adopt for themselves. and
the Southern States should lose no further time
in adopting and enforcing such regulation.
Each voter should be required to be able to
read and write and to have paid all his taxes
for the past two years before he is entitled to
deposit his ballot at any election. IT to such
should he added, there would be no further
reason why the South should longer dread the
suffrage problem. It would be solved as far
as it is now possible to solve it, and the future
could be trusted to devise and apply any fur
ther remedies which time might show to be de-
sirable. Why not Louisiana take the lead III
this important matter"

LEAP YEAR RHYMES.

THE WAY OF A BAsfIrUL YOUTH.
He was very bashful youth,
Who always was afraid
So when he called on New years eve,
He simply staid and staid;
And waited till the hands flew round
The clock upon the shelf
And when the midnight hour was reached
She did the rest herself.
THE PROPER THING FoRLEAp YEAR.
She askf / him If he would be hers:
He laughed loud ha la,
And then he blltshed and softly cried,
You'd better see papa
SHE WAS ALL RIGHT.
He did not think she cared for him,
But when the leap year came
He noticed, to his great surprise.
She got there just the same.
GOT THERE TOO LATE
On New Years morn he quickly rose.
And to her house he ran,
To find that when he reached her door
~ half past twelve the night before
She'd asked some other man.
ia, IA.
The spnster met, one leap year morn,
man she held most dear,
And asked him if he'd call. Said he,
cannot come this year"
HAPPY MAN.
lis leap year, and from morn till night
We hear him gladly sing;
For when he said he'd marry her
She bought herself the ring.
OUT OF DANGER
He feels quite safe when leap year comes,
For time has SO abused him
That all the girls he's ever known
Have long ere this refused nim.
