A Young Culprit.

Now, what can you do with set Of laws
That are bound In the choicest calf
When the wicked prisoner pleads his cause
with kiss and a cooling laughf
When torts in the matter Of penciled walls
ImpeI to stern Judgment, you
Discover the strongest action falls
When the culprit's only two.
Tho legislators ut Springfield might
Enact laws oil through the day,
Aud then amend 'em during the night,
And clinch 'em in every way,
And yet would ask Of you, what is the uss

When tho tightest law In so fatally loose

My action In any court would lie,
A jury would find for me,
But when am court and juryl
Am helpless AS man can DO.
No code has terrors, and so, In Short
There's only one thing TO do
III have to compromise out Of court
For the culprit's only two.

Citizens Attention.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
III the Republic Of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-

keeping il clean. This can be washed
and changed as often a. need be with

important to air all the bedding thor

taken off and laid separately over a
chair, and strong current Of air should
be allowed to circulate through the

The mattress should be turned daily

The letter al" has not always been
dotted, for Dissraeli, i'll detecting lit
erary forgery, says, Besides that there
were dots on the letter Il, custom not
practiced until the eleventh century"
At this time, however, the dot over the
letter 81 took the form of an accent
and was only used when the 81" was
doubled or in juxtaposition with gu. "
In the twelfth century the accent was oc-
casionally added when 81" was COM
bined with other letters, but it only be-
came universal when the invention of
printing made it convenient to retain
both forms. In the fourteenth century
the accent begins to change into dot,

letter, which l had left lying open on
my secretary, but 1 was scarcely ready
for dinner when it was announced
the theater in season my intention
quite slipped from my mind. Nor did
1 remember it again until the next
evening.
Allan was unusually quiet and
thoughtful during dinner and on the
way to the theater. Of late l had al
lowed him to escort Jean and me thith-
er, and he had fallen into the habit of
coming to my dressing room between
the acts when l had no change of cos
tune to make. l could see that he was
much occupied and distressed by the
new phase he had discovered in his
mothers character, and I inferred from
what he had said to his father, and
from his moodinesS and general depres-
sion, that hot and violent scene had
taken place in the Quintard household
prior to his coming to me. A thought
perplexed and worried me during the
intervals of the play that night. How
would it be when the event of final rup-
ture between husband and wife took
place? Should 1, in that position from
which his mother had been outcaSt, be
able to hold and preserve the affection
and loyalty of this lad who had grown
so dear to me? For his fathers sake,
l prayed so, and for my own.
