SHAKESPEARE CLUB

interesting paper on Patriotism, in which

masqueraded as such. particularly at this
time. Now that some occasion OF dispute
has arisen between this country and hng-
land the opportunity is seized to stir up
hatred and strife, and incidentally to fire
the hearts of the young people with so
called patriotism, which is only IA relic of
barbarism. Miss Harris definition of
patriotism rested upon the broad basis OF
the brotherhood of man, and she consid-
cred that he who had the greatest regard
for the rights and privileges of his fellow
man, was willing to do unto others as he
would be done by, was the truest patriot as
we'll as the best citizen and most upright
man.

During the recent epidemic of cholera in
Honolulu the demand for Chamberlain's
Collie. Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy was
so great that the druggists could not wait
on all, SO they covered their counters with
the Remedy and let customers help them
selves. The people then found this RENE
dy effected cure in every case, not a
single death occurring in any case in which
it was used. The success of the meecine
is what lead to the great rush for it. Many
persons bought it so as to have it ready for
instant use in case it should be needed.
