felt it his duty to give her his most
vigllant attention. Twenty minutes
time was consumed and no purchase
made, and as the woman left the shop
the assistant flattered himsele that the
little woman with the Grecian nose
had tried 1t on the wrong merchant
What made you watch that person
so closely? queried a lady who had OBJ
served most of the maneuvering.
"Kleptomania," he whispered.

The Hawaiian Back Down.

Since his appointment as Secre-
tary of State, Gresham has seen
fit to keep his head out of the gaze
of the public, knowing well that he
was regarded as a sort of political
freak. But it has pleased him, at
length, to bob up serenely, and he
chooses for the occasion the an
nouncement of the Governments
policy toward Hawaii. Doubtless
the reader will be amazed as he
reads the Secretary's message, and
wonder what possessed him to take
such an unpatriotic course. 10
understand it he must understand
Gresham, and know that the key
to the latter's whole foreign policy
is Influenced by hatred for ex-
President Harrison. 1t was suih-
cient for Gresham to know that the
former President desired the an
nexation of Hawaii. That single
fact damned the proposed course
i'm his eyee Accordingly he makes
use of the Spreckels-inspired report
of Commissioner Blount as Justl-
fication of his desire to do the very
opposite of what Harrison would
have done in relation to Hawai-.
He affects to believe that ex-Mln-
lister Stevens misstated the condl-
ton of affairs in the islands, and
that he was part of the conspiracy
to dethrone Queen Liliuokalanl.
He also discredits the representa-
tions of the Commissioners OF the
Provisional Government OF Hawai-
who came here to propose annexa-
ton. And thus have given the lie
to Stevens, the Provisional Govern
ment and Thurston, what does he
propose to do? Nothing much.
Only just that the Government as
sist in restoring to Hawaii the rule
of the dissolute Liliuokalani.-Troy
