Very respectfully,
TRUE AMERICANS

Those royalists who are pleased
to express the unnecessary fear
that " all true Americans" will re-
greet the manner in which the
Fourth was celebrated in Honolulu
have fallen into error.
The fact is there are no true
Americans, either in Hawaii or
the United States, from the royalist
standpoint, except perhaps J. F.
Bowler and J. o. Carter here and
Paul Neumann over the sea, wait
ing, weary waiting, for political
fate to turn fresh trump.
Tie monarchy is henceforward
stricken from history; the Republic
is here TO stay and, in spite of
royalist fears, there are thousands,
nay, millions, of true Americans"
WHO will see it safely through un-
til annexation makes all of us
"true Americans.

A San Franciscan, travelling through
Central America with his wife and young
babe, rented furnished apartments in
Guatemala and engaged n servant to act
as nurse and general housemaid. She had
been in their service less than u week
when she inquired of the father If the babe
were baptized He replied in the negative,
whereupon she insisted that the child a
girl, would be forever lost. Within six
weeks he had tried four consecutive serv-
ants, but found that each one would pill
fer small articles and finally determined
to get along without any help. One after
noon, while sauntering lazily through the
plaza, he YVES accosted by servant No. |,
who asked if the babe was yet baptized.
No, replied the father. still unbap-
tized." We'll, " she answered, lit Is all
right, as l stole her away one Sunday, and
the good padre baptized her, calling her

cannot hurt her, and may help her, am
satisfied, " thought the parent, and so dis
missed the subject from his mind. The
next day servant No 2, with II new charge
bundled in the linen swath on her back,
approached him at the market place, with
the oft repeated query, Did you have the
baby baptized" and to his reply of mo"
she consoled him by explaining that she
had taken the little one to the cathedral
and had 1t named Catarina so her soul
was saved a second time. Somewhat
amused, the father hunted up and inter
viewed the succeeding servants and dis
covered that the babe had been stolen to
the church by each Of them and quietly
baptized, the last two naming it, respec-
lively, Margarita Cruz and Eloisa RefusiO.
Consequently the name ran Maria Cata-

"While travelling through Algeria few
years ago. said Charles l.. Berton of Lon
don, l was greatly interested in watching
the Mohammedan style of worship. One
day l saw Moor come into the mosque.
At the door he dropped his slippers from
his feet, picked them up in his hand,
walked over the mating to where a foun-
tain was playing, dropped his slippers, and
deftly thrusting his feet into them stepped
into the water. He then thoroughly
washed his mouth, his eyes, his ears, then
his face and neck, then his arms to the ell
bows, his hands and lastly his feet and
legs to the knees. That was done to typify
the purifying of what he said, saw and
heard, his deeds and his walks. Then,
emerging from the water, he dropped his
slippers from his feet and going to a dis
ti.nt corner of the mosque stood facing
Mecca, the holy city of the Mohammedans.
Standing there, he began to humble a
prayer the words of which were inaudible
where l stood, but l could distinctly see
the motions of his mouth.
After few moments he kneeled down,
still speaking, and bending forward upon
his hands laid his forehead upon the floor.
Afterward he raised his head and body
erect and then stood up as at first. This
routine was gone through with three
times, not intcrrupting his words, only
changing his position at regular intervals.
After he had finished his prayer he picked
up his slippers and came to the door, drop
ped them on the Threshold again thrust
his feet into them and walked away. st.

Settling family quarrels in household
like that of Bidel, the French lion tanner,
was no trfiing matter. One day in the
midst of an exercise by the wild animals
the polar bear became angry and attacked
an inoffensive elephant.
The elephant showed no surprise, but
prepared to destroy his assailant. Bidel,
however, FASTENED to interpose. The bear
released the elephant, and hugging Bidel In
his long arms began to strangle him. But
for his wonderful self possession Bidel
would have been lost.
He had stout, solid fists, and he pounded
them on the bears nostrils until the animal
relaxed his grip Then he wrenched him
self free and gave the bear vigorous beat

all was quiet again.-Youth's Companion.
