We have been told that ''procrastina-
tion is the theft of time" so often that
we are apt to forget the truth of the old
saying. We put off, and put off, with
out ever thought that the habit is
robbiug us not only of time but also of
other things quite as valuable. A ter
rible instance of the results that may
follow the habit of putting off is found
in the fate of steamship wrecked
some time ago off the coast of South
ern California. While the case is an
unusual one, the warning should still
be needed.
The steamer, which was bound from
Southern port to San Francisco, was
heavily loaded, the deck load being
especially heavy. Off the coast of South
ern California a severe storm came up
and the steamer began to roll heavily.
Some of the passengers fearing that the
steamer would roll over unless a part,
at least, Of the deck load was disposed
of, begged the captain to cast some of
it overheard.
s'Not now," he said, "There is no
danger just as present."
Instead of abating, the storm con-
tinued to rage furiously, and the ves-
sci plunged and rolled in a way that
was frightful to the passengers. Again
they begged the captain to get rid of
the heavy, unstable deck load, and
again he refused, saying that he would
do so later if the storm did no decrease
in severity.
He had no chance TO put it off again.
A mountainous billow struck the ves-
sci broadside; the heavy load shifted
suddenly, the stea mer rolled over like a
log, and in very few minutes sank to
the bottom. Out of all those on board,
only one succeeded in reaching the shore
to tell the story of the wreck, the story
of the captains fatal procrastination.
1t may be that we shall some day be
placed in position where to put off
will be as fatal as it proved in the above
case. If we have never formed the
habit, we shall not have to break off
when the position of responsibility
comes.

that it is better for woman to stay at

woman in actual public work than in
spending time in reading essays. There
is not an impractical hair in her head.

LITERARY NOTES.
HARPER's BAZAR.

Katharine De Forest has in Harpers Ba-
Ear very readable article Son Woman's
Looks" in which she brings into promi-
nence Mrs. Roy Devereux's ascent of Wo
man, it being according to her zone of the
most remarkable little collection of prose
essays" and more than half these are
about what has always been considered so
vain and improbable subject as woman's 8
looks" In the course of her article she
goes on to say:
"When we come to style. its significance
is much more subtle than that of fashion.
And Mrs. Devereux's gospel is that no wo-
man who is not born stylish can hope to
become so except by a developement of
sensibility. Vicarious style simply makes
the wearer of superb garment look as
though it did not belong to her. The same
intimate and impalpable alliance that there
is between literary effort and the author
of it, exists in an equal degree between a
woman and the dress she wears. For
though she may not have made it, the fact
that she has chosen it, and wears it, makes
it an indispensable fraction in the sum to-
tai of her personality.
Clothes should not be simply the express
sion of sex, as were the farthingale and
sack of the old days. Mrs. Devereux's idea
is that as woman ascends--that is, as sh
developes intellectually-her sensibility,
her feminine potentiality. her love for
beauty. and the expression of all these in
her outward garb, should pace with her
growth. Style at its subtlest, contains an
element of sex underlying a desire for
beauty. And chic is the expression of per-
sonality, invested with a nameless leaven
of fashion and individuality.
That woman's intellectual develope-
ment ought in any way to be measured by
her clothes would, I am certain, strike the
average feminine or masculine mind with
an amusing sense of novelty. There seems
something essentially antithetical between
ones conception ofa literary woman and
Doucet frock, or frills and the student of
Greek verbs.
There are many women who neye
should wear frills, the author of .The as
cent of woman thinks" In short, we must
know ourselves in order to make our per-
sonalities effective; and then color. per-
fume, flowers, gems-everything connected
with the artof dress. only inferior to the
great arts of music. painting, and poetry,
because the materials it works in are more
perishable, become our aids'.
Much more is said Of the trials of women
in dress and the origin of the same.the feat.
ures most attractive in it &c &c and the ar
ticle is concluded with vision of "her

failed on the job and on one occasion
the bold gamblers beat policeman and
carried him to the edge of their COM
pound
Sheldon somehow managed to get
two policemen secreted near the house
on a dark night One was in a small
banana patch and the other in an out
building. Before they began gambling
operations for the evening the Chinese
sent their guards out skirmishing.
Two of the sentries found the man in
the banana patch. but he covered
them with pistol and marched them
around 10 where his companion was
hidden. The officers then quickly con-
WINGED the Chinese that the latter had
best lead them into the house. En-
trance was made quietly and a COM
plete surprise effected. The colony
was panic stricken. Twenty-Five
prisoners were taken by the two native
policemen. Such haul was never be-
fore made in the Islands. A consider
able sum of money was found. all the
gambling tools known to the Chinese
and a cart-load of opium and pipes.
There has been such a shaking up that
il is believed the DAYS of the notorious
den are over. Sheldon, it is reported
in official circles is TO be promoted.

Eva.
A DIRECTORS PLAIN TALK
Subject Has Not Yet Been Consid-
cred IF Annexation Comes"
The Stock Market.

II the capital OF Eva Plantation
company is to be doubled" said Mr..
J. B. Atherton last evening, we of the
corporation know nothing of it" Mr.
Anterior was surprised to learn that
such a statement had been published
The yarn was characterized by other
gentlemen interested in Eva as the in
vention Of spectators.
One Of the heaviest holders in Eva
and a member of the directory COM
mented as follows: THE subject has
never been considered at a meeting of
the representatives of the stockhold-
ers. OF course there has been talk on
the outside Nothing has been said
or done by responsible men TO warrant
the bold announcement made in local
paper
In time there may possibly be a
change in the organization of the com
pany. You can say that nothing will
be undertaken for several months. If
annexation takes place the corporation
here may be dissolved and Califor-
MIA charter secured. But those who
desired even this might not be able to
effect it. Perhaps more satisfactory
local arrangement could be effected.
II the Hawaiian Government remains
as it is there is little likelihood of any
alteration at all in the present status
of the company. There has been made
on the outside the suggestion that it
would be well to double up the stock.
However this proposal will bear close
scrutiny and there will be considerable
hesitation before such a thing win be
attempted. We do not care to even
approach the appearance of corpora
ton methods that have become notori-
Gus. The Eva Plantation company has
more than $4,000 900 of property, while
the capitalization is, but half that sum
Still, that is no forceful reason for
increasing. Eva is all right as it is. -

Nest of Kauai Law Breakers

Bill" Sheldon, is now deputy sheriff
at Hanapepe, on the Island of Kauai
Wherever stationed he has proven
himself an alert and active official.
Mr.. Sheldon won his spurs on the Ho-
onlulu Police force many years ago.
Since that period he has been Sheriff
at Waialua and Waianae, Oahu, and
chief customs officer at Lahaina, Maui
1t was while at Waianae, on this ISL
and, that Mr.. Sheldon was so promin-
entity Unidentified with the capture of
the schooner Henrietta and her cargo
of opium. Most of the men who had
charge of the craft and the drug are
still "on the reef and Mr.. Sheldon
reaped the joys OF a goodly share in
the large reward. 1t was also during
stopped liquor dealing and manufac
ture and the smoking of opium, to the
extent that old residents of the dis
ed. AT Lahaina he kept track of the
smugglers and their goods 1t is said
that a hui of very heavy dealers in the
oontraband at one time put price on
Sheldon's head and talked seriously of
importing highlander form San Fran
cisco TO put him out of the way.
Something has now been accomplish
ed by Sheldon on Kauai that beats all
records in the particular field. A Ger
