yHA7 ANNEXATION BUSINESS.

We don't want Hawaii. We have
enough territory already, and there is no
reason for our going two thousand miles
,out in the Pacific to take possession OF a
lot of volcanic dots, and particularly
since the people who live in them are,
with the exception of about five thousand
whites, a lot Of semi savages and lepers'
The addition would add something to our
wealth. it is true, if it did not add some
thing to our debts as well perhaps more
to our debts than to our possessions.
We don't need any more land, and II
we did we could get the needed 1900
square miles nearer than these islands
We have sufficient of ignorance already
and can do without the semi savages OF
the Pacific; and we don't want the lepers'
We have already the disease-stricken
hosts of Europe pouring into our shores
every year. To be sure we could get a
whole lot of sugar plantations, but
Americans own them now and hey are
cheaper to the tax payers as they are,
because we don't now have to pay a
bounty on the product as is done in the
case Of the American growers.
AS a naval station Hawaii may be OF
some Importance, but England, France
and America SO long ago as 1914 declar-
ed in favor Of it's future independence,
and we don't see that the United States

power.

The conviction of a highway rob.
Der 10 years old would be an unusual
event in any community, and is
doubly so in civilized city. Vincent
Shevlin of Chicago who is not much
more than baby, held at bay last
February street car load of people,
including policeman, and wounded
the officer with revolver when the
latter attempted to arrest him. It
is an instructive fact that young
Shevlin has been brought up in nest
of robbers, and that two of his elder
brothers belong to a notorious gang.
Early associations and incorrect train.
ing are responsible for large proper
tion of the criminals that affiict So
ciety. The future career of young
Shevlin will be matter of consid-
cradle Interest. The State will at
tempt, at the reform school, to cor
rect the wrong impressions of life
which he has gained. It remains to
be seen whether the criminal instinct
can be removed by education from
the mind of 10-Year-old boy.

about the dreamy mother OF a young

One evening when her son stopped

to his own, to deliver a message
which had heen sent her, he discov-
cred the old lady in the pitchy dark
ness, holding match under the
coldwater faucet
When she came TO herself" in re

admitted that she had lighted ive

dangerous Bathing.

General Paske, the author of a
book of travels in lower Burmah, says
that the residents pointed out to him
one particular spot on the sea-shOre
where bathing would be perfectly
safe; it was triangular area OF water
bounded by ledge of rocks leading
| to the lighthouse and the sunken
reef that joined it, at an angle, with
| the shore. Men had bathed there
times without number, though a
hand dangIed in the water outside
the reef would have been snapped of
in a trice by shark.
Provided with towels, we were
soon on the beach. and ], more i'm
patient than my companion, was the
! first to traverse the intervening strip
of sand, and throw myself into the
water. Rising again, / began to
swim parallel with the shore, when
1 saw my friend, who was on the
point of following, stop short while
he called out:
Come in, as fast as you can!"
Fully comprehending the danger, ]
made for the shore with all the
strength / could muster, crying out
to him to throw in the largest stones
he could lay hands on. l knew he
had seen the black fin of a shark,
raised, doubtless, by my splash, to
the expectation of a meal
Fast as could swim, my progress
was but crawling compared to the
dart of the fish which nreSpnt1y laid
hold Of my ankle, his serrated teeth
cutting to the bone like razor.
l thought was within my depth,
endeavored to touch bottom, and
sank. The shark had instantly re-
linQuished his hold, but ! fully ex-
pected another attack. / reached
the shore, however, without further
molestation, for the creature was
darting about in all directions, con-
fused by the pieces OF rock which my
friend continued flinging at him with
unfagging energy
In great pain, and rather faint |
from the loss of blood, / scrambled |
to the sand, and lay there exhausted. |
The next thing | knew was that my
foot was tightly bandaged, and my |
faithful friend was by my side.
The appearance of the shark, in |
this hitherto safe expanse of water,
was accounted for by an abnormalIy
high tide, which had brought him in
and left him there, unable to make
his way over the rect after the sea
had sunk to its ordinary level.

IT would be hard to depict or even
to imagine the emotions which the
great city of Chicago and the great
fair must excite in the breast of that
fierce old warrior, Rain-in- the Face.
There is no doubt that many of the
Indian chiefs who in the past have SO
valiantly led their people in their
vain struggle against the encroach-
ing civilization of the white man
have had but an imperfect idea of
the latter'S power and resources.
They have believed that civilization
was represented only by what they
saw in the far West and that the
troopers led against them formed the
chief strength of the white mans
army. Perhaps Rain-in-the Face
now gains for the first time a correct
idea of the puissance of civilization
and Of the certain extinction that
awaits any people, however brave,
who oppose it.

more than a mere toy The gay,
chivalrous race has an unbroken
record, which shows them, clad in
silken robes, practising all the arts

and building temples, flirting fans
and playing with their dolls. In a
small collection of elaborate and gor-

hereditary collection of a Daimio's
family, you may read the strange and
glorious history OF the nation. A
company of princely dolls-little
ladies and lords richly dressed In silk
brocaded robes OF miniature pattern,
elaborately woven for this fanclful
purpose by fairy fingers in miniature
looms. A party Of two-sworded Sam
urai are feasting; dancing and singing
girls are going through their perform

"GenrOku'' dolls of KiOto are spirited
and valuable wood carvings, enam-

statuettes and dressed dgures in per-
feet costumes of the olden time
especially woven for them. The an.

Rising Sun is feast of dolls. On

dainty little miniature sets of chased
