The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe: nothing could
be safer, A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
80 near setting fire to the house and burning
nv children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

 You frequently hear the remark that John T. Morgan has lost his fire. Not so. He Is an abler, brainier man today than he was when he made eloquent speeches just after the war. There is now no occas- ion for the oratory that was popular then. The excitement of those times have given way to reason. Men want to be argued with in these times and only on occasions can man resort to the lurid kind of lan- guage that was popular in the days alluded to. Up north a change, too, has taken place.

Convention of Supreme Council
 Of Catholic kniQhts and Ladies

There Is now in session. at the Lindell hotel St. Louis, a large and important or ganization. the supreme council of Catholic Knights and Ladies of America. The con- ventious of this order meeet biennaiiy, and the one being held at St Louis is the fourth in the history of the body. as 1t was only organized eight years ago.
 The last convention met at Memphis, in 1896, the other two at Louisville and Cairo Women are allowed the same rank and privileges as men in the Catholic Knights and Ladies of America. The purposes of the society are to unite in fraternai rela- tionship all acceptable Catholics, of every business, profession and occupation to es- tablish a benefit fund for sickness or death of it's members, and to assist one another in every possible way.
 course of lectures Is usually given each season by the association.
 The members are compelled, according 10 the constitution, to receive holy communion once year as a body, about Easter, and every chapter is required to have an annual requiem mass said for the souls of deceased members of the organization.
 A large majority of the clergy of the Catholic church has sanctioned the or- der, and it has been endorsed by many of the distinguished bishops of that denomina- tion.
 Eight years ago the first chapter of the Catholic Knights and Ladies of America was formed at Louisville, and the member ship Is now rated at from eight to ten thou sand. The headquarters of the organiza- fion are at Louisville where the general or supreme officers reside. The supreme spiritual director is the bishop of Nashville, Rev. Dr. Thomas s. Byrne.
 The convention will probably adjourn to- day. after a session of great interest and profit.

School will occur at O'Brien's opera house. Thirty-four young ladies and gentlemen will graduate and receive their diplomas. An innovation in the programme, which will doubtless meet the approval of audience. will be the abolition of the time-honored essays, and in it's stead, the substitution of short papers of four or five minutes length upon interesting practical questions. The class which graduates this evening is the highest in the history of the high school, and it is one that reflects great credit upon pr. Phillips, Prof. Moore.

The Taste for Reading
 Due to Early Training

Dorothy Maddox, who has a very attract i've way of writing bright things, says:
 A taste for reading may be as surely cultivated as any other taste, and a healthy appetite for good literature is as necessary for mental nourishment as good food is for physical well-being.
 To get right to the root of the matter, the reading habit needs to be cultivated in the nursery. As soon as children are able to pick out the words in their primers they should be taught to consider that more enjoyment is to be found between the covers of a book than among all the toys and gimcracks that clutter up the playroom No need to make book-worms of them. but a tactful mother may implant the reading idea into the juvenile mind and so carefully nurture 1t that in after years it will bear intellectual fruits of incalcu- liable benefit.
 Laziness is usually the foundation for the childish request. "Please read to me-" provided the youthful petitioner Is able to read to himself The same obliging grand- mother or gracious aunt who is always ready to do the youngsters bidding in this direction, is also responsible for the fad of spinning nursery yarns to listeners who are old enough and schooled enough to cull their own tales from books.
 Where there is no personal application on the childS s part how there be any mental stimulus? No wonder we find so many insipid, vacillating minds amongst grown-ups when we remember how little thought concentration is exacted from the average child.
 There would be fewer restless men and certainly fewer discontented women if the reading habit was made a feature of nur- sery training.
 Fortunate is the man or woman who has discovered in books that world which will widen the most contracted sphere and glori- fly the most commonplace existence.

sharp relief that not single regi-
ment, company or squad from any
Southern State was allowed the op-
portunity to pull trigger in the
war. It may have been An acciden-

have the appearance of one, and
politics probably had something to
do with it. However, Wheeler,
Schley, Hobson and Blue repres-

how we 'swould have fout' IF we

we suspect, that the Southern troops

AFTER MANY YEARS.

King OscarslI Of Sweden is greatly
interested In DR.. Uystrom's researches
and has commanded that every assist
ance shall be rendered him by the pub
lie omcials. besides placing at his dis
posal all historic documents bearing
upon the event.
Other authorities, particularly Dam
ish and German, are inclined to believe
Charles XII met with q soldier end
and the facts, which are as follows,
seem to lead to that conclusion: On
Dec. IL, 1913. the king was with the
army in the trenches behind the for
tress of F'redrikssten, the front OF
which commands the wide Tisdedal
territory. The work was progressing
rapidly, yet the pioneers did their work
too slowly for the impatient Karl, and
he ventured beyond the protecting
earth ramparts in order to reconnoiter
the enemy's point of attack. A few
moments later solitary shot was
heard and the brave monarch fell NOR
tally wounded.
A curious investigation Is about to he
made by a celebrated Swedish profess
sor. DR.. Anton Uystrom. which win
mystery which hangs over the death of
the famous King Charles XII of Swe-
den in the trenches before F'redrik-
shall, in Norway, in the year 1718 The
controversy. which has led to much Ill
feeling At times, IL due to the varying
accounts furnished by contemporary
htstorians. some Of whom declare that
the Lion King" was the victim of q
Swedish political plot, the object Of
which was to rid the land OF a mon
arch who had weakened and impover-
ashed it by a series OF adventurous and
unnecessary wars and rendered him
eelf feared and hated by his despot-
ism.
DR.. Uystrom is Of opinion that the
distance between the spot whore the
king was killed and the ramparts Of
the Norwegian forces is too great 10
admit Of the latter suppositions but
in order to mako quite certain, he will,
undertake exact measurements of the
ground and also make experiments
with various weapons OF the period, q
collection OF which have been placed
at his disposal by the authorities OF
the Stockholm museum. He will thus
be able to decide from which side.
