umphs of commercial diplomacy
made by the little isle. They are
the most magnificent recorded in
the worlds history.
The Americans, who have been
heretofore very backward in for
eign commerce, are just finding
out how shrewd and farsighted
the men of the little isle have
been, and propose to initiate them
when they propose to- annex "A
few acres in the Pacific, and

them: You stay at home. ! ann
painfully impressed with the ter
rible risk you run in taking Ha-
wall. 1t may be the end Of You
The American smiles and replies:
you good Britons of forty mil
lions have gorged yourselves with
an enormous OK, and yet you fer
ventlv advise Us, Of seventy mil
lions, to keep our hands off that
little saHdiricb. You have been
clever enough TO catch the cream
Of the worlds trade, and take
nearly the best of the worlds ter
ritory. We have been rather stu
pid. We will now follow your eX-
ample, and take only a mOuthful.
And they might add: 1--WE did not
pounce down on those little Isl
ands and take them, but tried to
-Americanize them by means of re-
ciprocity, and in doing so made
many of YOU excellent Britons
rich beyond your widest dreams;
and il would not be out of the way
for YOU to make some little return
for this wealth by falling in line
with us"
OF course Judge Hart will re
ply: Bother gratitude; we peck
ct your gold, and that's quite
enough"
Many Englishmen here do not
agree with Judge Hart. They take
a broad view of the situation, and
they use the language which one
of the British Cabinet personally
used to the writer in 1882: owe
consider the Sandwich Islands an
affair of the United States"
The next point Judge Hart
makes is that those who favor an
neXatiOn dreadfully abuse those
who oppose it. In this sinful world
intolerance of speech still exists,
though it should not. Men rarely
express themselves in measured
terms. But Judge Hart must re-
member that many of the men
who hold his political views have
abused their opponents in public
in the most offensive and even OBJ
scene language. Judge Hart is NOT
responsible for it, but he should
call these dogs off before he com
plains of the barking of his neigh
bOrs' dogs.

How He Became a Cynic.

Some lovable traits Of character in
Prosper Merimee, the famous French
novelist. who has left to posterity the
reputation of misanthrope and cynic,
are revealed in the pages of Augustus
Filon's "Merimee and His Friends. :"
M. Filon tells us how this celebrated
author devoted 100 louis of his salary
as senator toward pensioning an old
prefect Of Louis Philippe who had been
ruined by the revolution of 1S48, and
how for 20 years he assisted and pro-
tected humble sculptor in whom he
had become interested.
M. Filon relates an incident Of Meri
mee's childhood that shows how sus-
ceptible his nature was to strong i'm
pressions, and how responsible older
people, and particularly parents, are
for the development Of certain traits in
children.
When the future novelist was years
Of age, he was once punished by his
mother for some naughtiness of which
he was guilty. Nine. Merimee, who
was an artist, and who was at the time
engaged at her easel. put the culprit
out Of the room and closed the door
upon him.
The little Prosper, already penitent,
anxiously besought forgiveness through
the closed door, expressing great con-
triton and promising good behavior,
but the door remained inexorably shut.
Finally, after much effort, be opened it
and dragged himself upon his knees co.
ward his mother. His r:teous supplioa-
tions and his pathetic attitude SO
amused Nine. Merimee that she began
to laugh.
Instantly rising from his lowly pos
ture he exclaimed Indignantly, "Since
you mock me will nevsr ask pardon
again" He kept his word. Thus was
sown the seed Of certain cynical phil
osophy that tainted his s.fter life.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

Oh, many vision I've cherished,
To brighten the days Of my life,
Of home amid roses embowered,
OF some one to greet me as wife,
But to have such a home as you offer,
To have such a lover as you,
With heart SO devoted and tender
Seems almost too good to be true.
remember the times in my girlhood
felt it my pride and my joy
To have your attendance at parties,
For you were the favorite boy.
And though there were handsomer maid
ems,
And others much richer than l,
There was none of the group so heart
broken,
When you left without saying goodby.
heard of you then in the city,
And knew you were making name,
Each day by the efforts of genius
Securing a permanent fame,
And fancied you must have forgotten
The poor little girl you once knew,
And to have you come back as suitor
Seems almost too good to be true.
hoped to have cards to your wedding,
To the church and reception beside
Where might with fearful emotion
Congratulate you-no, the bride,
But to stand by your side at the altar
To be solemnly married to you
It seems when I think it all over,
AS if 'twere too good to be true.
