A Michigan man has invented a new trade, out of which he is said to be making a comfortable living. His scheme is based on the system by which the railroads of that State try to prevent the transfer of mileage tickets from the purchaser of one of them to occasional travellers. This sys- tenn consists in making the buyer sign his name inside the cover of his mile age book, and then, in the presence of the conductor, sign each ticket that is collected. the theory being that if the signatures are alike the book Is in the proper hands. The man in question buys his book and signs 1t in the proper way Then, when the conductor comes around he signs ticket in chir- ography altogether different A squab- ble follows which ends in the confisca- tion of the mileage book and the ejec- tion of the traveller from the train

MANNER OFFSETS HIS WORDS.
She Will Some Day See Through his
Little Trick.

A charming young matron, the wife
of a Kenwood physician, is very much
worried these days over a newly ac-
qured habit of her husbands of COM
menting on her doings in ambiguous,
double meaning phrases. She is a
bride of little more than q year, but
it is only this fall that the couple
went to housekeeping. Like all true
wives, she is of course ambitious to
help her husband all she can, and with
that end in view decided that to keep
house for two was little enough, and
she could easily dispense with the hir-
ing of a girl Therefore she does all the
work herself and does it very well, in
deed. The cooking, however. quite nat
urally stumps her now and then, but
the induigent husband seldom let's on
that anything is not exactly as it
should be. Once in while he will drop
one of his double-meaning remarks.
but as he never cracks a smile while
so doing the sweet little woman for
whose benefit they are intended has no
cause for feeling that she is the target
aimed at. Still she will stare at him.
and after he has gone on call Won
der what he really did mean.
The other evening at dinner the
young physician made just such a re-
mark, and the little woman has been
in a dilemma ever since. She looked so
radiantly happy that evening that he
inquired for the cause of ii.
You know, dear" she said, the
church ladies decided they should DO
something this Thanksgiving to help
defray the expenses for heating the

dinner and it's taking place tonight.

things we prepared They filled half
the lecture-room.
What portion of the feast was as
signed to you?' he queried.

answered, smiling ecstatically.
Hard or soft?" he went on.

answered.

LUNA RELIEVED.
Affairs at Lihue Assume More
Satisfactory Shape


AS a result of a report made by
Wray Taylor on the labor affairs at
Lihua plantation, William ZoIler, head
luna at that place, has been relieved.
The treatment of the laborers at Lihue
had been the talk of the entire popu-
lation of Kauai for months. One trou-
bic followed another until it culmin-
ated in the killing of a Chinaman by
one of the under lunas.
Commercial Agent Goo Kim took the
matter up on behalf of the Chinese,
and, as Hong Kong, the port from
which the men shipped is an English
settlement, II. B. Ms Commissioner
A. G. S. Halves also made inquiry of
this Government as to the condition
of affairs. At a meeting of the Board
of immigration, held some time ago,
it was decided to send Mr.. Taylor, the
| secretary, to Kauai to investigate. His
report has not been made public, but
it is understood that il was of a ma
ture that warranted the action of the
plantation manager, which has fol-
| lowed
From the passengers who arrived
| from Lihue on Sunday it is learned
that the conditions at the plantation
are much more satisfactory than they
have been, the Chinese and Japanese
laborers going about their work with
better grace than at any time in years

1t seems that under the present ar
rangement Delaware elects its COVER
nor on the day of the presidential cleo
ton and he serves four years. strong
movement is on foot in the state to
change the date of the election so that
it shall occur between the national
contests, as used to be the case before
the death of Governor Marvll caused
a special election, which was for a full
term. The movement is well support
ed. but for all that it should be de-
feated. 1t is far better that all cleo
tions be held at the same time, both on
the score of economy and for other
reasons. There is an incentive to cor
ruption when state elections are SO
held as to become straws to show
which way the political wind is
blowing, which does not exist under
ordinary circumstances.

How many of the younger students
of public affairs know that the greatest
power of the president of this republic
is in the so-called pocket veto? When
he vetoes an act of congress and re-
turns it to the house, in which IT
originated, it still can be made law
by two-thirds vote of the senate ana
of the house of representatives. But
when he refrains from approving OF
disappearing an enactment, the meas
ure dies at the expiration of the legal
limit of time for action after the ad-
journment of congress. That is pock-
ct veto. and from it there is no ap-
peal. 1t is an interesting fact that the
chief magistrate derives his greatest
power from a provision that is SEEM
ingly incidental.
