SCARED THE MoToRMAN.

Rural Lass Climbs u Safety Appliance
OH u street Car.
Mot0rmen on the Brownies addition
electric cars have more than their
share Of trouble because Of the single
entrance in front, say the Spokane cor
respondent of the Seattle P%ost-1ntelli-
gencer. 1t is an unwritten rule that
the passenger hailing the car stands on
the far crossing and Oh the right Of
the motoriaan. TO close the rear por-
tion a heavy iron gate is hung on the
hooks and it is no small task to
change 1t when the car starts on the
return Journey.
While the muddy seaso and the agi-
tation for paving were at their height a
miss of Is. buxom and rosy-cheeked,
hailed the car going west. She was
within three blocks OF the Washington
school building and it was afterward
learned that the school was her des-
ti%nation. Evidently she was On a visit
ing tour and her general appearance
indicated that she was from the rural
districts.
When the car was hailed she was In
the middle of the block. The motor
man stopped the car and waited for the
passenger to come up. He stood for
several minutes and wondered where
the girl had disappeared. She was not
in sight from where he stood. Final
ly he glanced TO the rear of the car.
To his horror he discovered that the
big-muscled schoolma'am from the
country had made up her mind to enter
from the back portion. She had discov-
cred the iron gate, but did not propose
that q little obstacle Of that sort should
prevent her getting aboard. When the
motorman made a dash for the back
there was as pretty an exhibition Of
wrestling with heavy weights as one
could wish to Gee. Miss Rural had
half-Nelson OF that pesky gate and was
wrestling 1t from the hinges. She had
all but succeeded in her purpose when
the gate got the upper hold and was
about to take a fall out OF her. The
motorman frantically clutched the iron
and 1t fell half way to the ground and
the girl stepped proudly over, found 9
footing on the step and marched to q
seat. Complacently she seated herself
and announced that she desired to be
let of at the Washington school. The
other occupant Of the car. a lady, city
bred. was convulsed with mirth and
half beside herself because there was
no one. else on board to witness the
fun. The nickel was paid for the three
block ride and the car stopped. Will

Indian Relic. Made to Order

Southern Wisconsin collectors of In.
dian relics ard other rare curios find
that during the last two years they
have been swindled in their purchases
made of a young man who lives near
Palmyra. The odd-shaped rare stone
specimens that he sold in such enor-
nous numbers for a high price, it tran.
spires, were made by himself and an
assistant. One of his victims played
the part of a detective, finally tracing
the young man to his workshop and
forcing from lin a full confession that
the specimens" were manufactured by
the two, instead of being found about
the Aztec mounds near a small lake.

Women do not, as a rule, laugh at
jokes. They generally laugh to re-
ward the teller of a good thing, and
not for mirth at the thing told. says
the New York Advertiser. In this way
a m fulflls a most definite duty.
for she laughs ven when the story does
not come off well. Her laugh would
not be so temperate or SO punctual IL
1t depended upon a sense of humor.
1t is somewhat between a child's laugh
ter and a mans, but most like q
child's. At almost every stage Of his
early years, a child laughs for mere
movement. and not for comedy or de
rision at all. A little humor there may
he in the earlier sense of the word.
He laughs at the humors and antics Of
a rather elder or rather more enterprise
ing child; but always from gayety and
for interior reasons of Astounding
breath and blood. Granted that a
woman has a small sense of humor, she
still owes her laugh to the humorists
even to the unsuccessful. It Is a
positive debt. If she were held to the
duty of criticism it would be other
wise; but, al it is, she is committed to
nothing. Her laugh is no evidence in
the contention of humor and wit, and.
1t Is but just that in this, too, public
opinion should relieve her of respon-
sibility. For nothing but an expected
silence or a half-hearted smile should
be held really answerable. II she were
to enter upon the way of criticism she
would be more or less unready; It
might be necessary to explain things
to her, which confessedly would be
very dull. Besides, the laugh Of judg-
ment and criticism is apt to be, IN At
occasions, also a laugh too much from
the heart; it takes deeper tones, and
is no longer the treble note, un-
drowned. No; men who invent the
jokes may laugh at them the open
laugh of appreciation; women, II they
would be kind, must be more impartial.
A feminine laugh, too, has to be dec
o%rative, and SO should be the laugh OF
gayety rather than of humor. There
can hardly be a question as to the
sweetest laugh to be heard among ma
lions of women-it is surely the French
woman's. She has the softest MARBLE
of all. If doves were not so serious,
they might remind us Of Partisan wom-
en- laughing together. The italian
laugh is happy enough, but 1t is not
quite so Independent of the subject OF
laughter; it has a jollity all It's own.
1t Is somewhat uncivilized, but needs
no civilizing. But its principle char
acteristic is the contralto tone proper
to the woman who is to the last some
what of a peasant. The laughter Of
English women is too various for any
brief description. For Englishwomen
laugh, not according to their race. but
according to their caste, as caste has
lately been revised and redistributed.
1t may be said that in caste also the
treble note. the ready, the immediate.
dits up to its own place-the top-and
is audible there. for all its splendid
quality.

occurred not far from Killarney, in

hillside more than 700 feet high, broke
loose at Its lower edge, and the semi

needed i'll this outpost OF the West.
ern world, where we must build
carefully, solidly and with the
certainty that it can meet and throw
back any wave of Asiaticism that
hurls itself against it.
The public school system of the
Islands though good, and which
any nation may be proud of, yet
needs both extension and improve
ment. Few countries can point to
such results as have been obtained
here. The interest tax n in the
schools is very great, but it can be
greater The machinery for bring
ing children within the reach of
educational institutions is good, but
it can be still better. The number
of school houses needs increasing,
the staff of teachers needs increas-
ing. And there is nothing to which
a growing community should de-
vote itself more earnestly than to
the schools. The school house is
the cradle of the stalwart citizen as
the mothers breast is the cradle of
the stalwart man. The American
Union Party strikes at the root of
things when its candidates pledge
themselves to support, enlarge and
improve the school system of the
Islands.
Of the other planks special men,
tioI need not be made. They are
all good, sound, solid timber, and
there is not a rotten bit among
them. 1t is right that the Govern
ment should not be an i'm
porter Of material, thus coming into
competition with the merchants
and mechanics who support it. To
obtain cable communication is the
desire of every one, and the Islands
will be in instant touch with the
great cepters of the world when
the cable is laid. An opposition to
trusts and monopolies should be a
watchword of every free citizen,
OF a purely local character is the
recommendation of a public park at
Aala and the making of Waikiki
property owned by the Government
open to the use of the public. But
these are necessary improvements
and to the direct advantage Of the
poor man.
Taken as whole the platform Of
the American Union Party is a
good one, it is doubtful if it could
be improved. 1t is framed in no
petty spirit of local exclusiveness,
and the party is justified in asking
all citizens to join its ranks "who
have faith in a plain, progressive
Govern nent of equality" Those
are ringing words. They are words
to which all can subscribe. They
mean much and give us bright
promise in the future.
To support this platform the
candidates nominated last night
have pledged themselves and they
can certainly come before the voters
of this Island strong in the hope
that all who desire the permanence
Of peace and prosperity, who wish
for the advancement Of the Islands
upon the path of progress hat they
are now embarked on, will give
them their loyal and ungrudging
aid. There is no niger in the
fence, everything is fair and above
board. We want good government,
we want advancement, we want
prosperity, and we can only have
these by one means, the raising Of
the Stars and Stripes upon the flag
staff of the Executive Building, or
in other words, annexation to the
United States of America.
