The convention will be composed of

DC seen that they would not only have
enough TO adopt a silver platform, but
would have exactly the two-thlrds
necessary to nominate In a Democratic
convention. This would include two
delegates each from the three organic

from indian and Alaska territories.
Such delegates were admitted at the
last convention. So IL seems that the
carrying out OF the Illinois idea to its
utmost possibilities means serious con-
sequences to the Democracy.
II Is believed that IN several of the

the free coinage of silver, and that

In Want of Milk.

A good story is told of two young
Englishmen travelling in Europe. They
had never thoroughly mastered any of
the languages commonly spoken on the
continent and were particularly weak
in their French, knowing that language
well enough by sight, but not having a
speaking acquaintance with it.
Finding themselves i'll small French
town one evening, they were DESTROYS
of obtaining good cup of coffee. Know
ing that cafe was coffee, and that lait
was milk, they endeavored to call for a
judicious mixture of the two, but their
articulation was of SO remarkable an
order that they succeeded only in get
ting the coffee. Cafe au late they tried
attempted unavailingly. The suggestion
that lait might be pronounced Light
was adopted equally in vain.
Finally in despair one of the strug.
Cling youths exclaimed:
well, it's mighty queer we don't
know enough to get little drop Of
milk.
'Doyou want milk?" asked the wait.
ress, opening her mouth for the frs
time
"Y-yes," stammered the travellers
overwhelmed with surprise.
Then why didn't you say so at first?
queried the girl as she fiounced off.
And again the young men didn't
know. -London Tit-Bits.

HALTED BY A MOUNTAIN LION.
A Night Adventure of Three Girls on a
California Road.

A Night Adventure of Three Girls on n
California Road.
We were driving from Oakland over
the ridge that divides Alameda and
Contra Costa counties, three girls bound
for q country dance at Moraga valley, a
little settlement on the Contra Costa
side. 1t was late in January, and the
night was pitch dark, but as the young
rancher who drove knew every inch of
the way we were not afraid.
We had made the ascent of the noun
tain aud were driving down at a good
pace when suddenly the horses stopped,
reared and then swerved to one side,
overturning the rookaway and landing
us all in the mud on the side of the
road. No one was hurt, and as we pick
ed ourselves up, wondering in dazed
way what the trouble was about, some-
thing leaped out of the bushes, over the
backs of the PROSTATE horses and lit in
/ the brush on the lower side of the road.
/ There was fearful roar, and then we
/ saw two great, green eyes glaring out
| of the darkness.
The driver had succeeded in pulling
! the frightened horses to their feet and
righting the wagon. He ordered us to
/ get into our seats, and handing the
lines to the girl ON the front seat he
told her to hang on for dear life.
''It is lion, and he'll jump in an
/ other minute, said the man.
Then, as we sat speechless from
fright, the rancher drew his revolver.
There was scream unlike and more
dreadful than anything had ever heard.
Then the great beast rolled few feet
in the brush and was still.
After the horses were quieted and we
had regained our composure sufficiently,
we jumped out of the rockaway, and,
with the aid of matches, examined oul
game. 1t was a splendid young Califor'
mia mountain lion, measuring about
four feet in length We three girl.
were all very brave when we found the
beast was really dead, SO we helped the
driver lift the carcass into the back o.
the wagon and then continued our trip
creating a great sensation among thu
young rustics at the dance when W,
told of our adventure To be sure, W,
gave the driver credit for the actual kill
ing, but weren't we there when it hap
> pened, and didn't we keep quiet, in

would have done?-New York Sum-

The ceanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light Safe; nothing could
he safer. A few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want il done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take NO more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
