4 Woman Said 1t.

A Punahou lady who likes the Ad-
vertiser made an attempt yesterday to
telephone a joke to the paper. 1t was a
real neat story, quite up ii date. Per
haps the lady was ratified. Perhaps
the wires were crossed. This is what
she said: Say, have you heard that
they have put guard around the ma
gaines to keep them from exploding?"
There does not seem to be much to
this. Here is the real thing: Have
you heard that Minister Cooper has
ordered a guard of soldiers to be on
duty at the library building day and
night?" NO." what is the use OF
that?" '@Why, the library trustees are
afraid the magazines will explode"

4 BIG
DIFFERENCE.

There's a big difference
in ways of doing business.
Some dealers simply
strive to get a customer
in their store, sell as
much as they can at
once, and never expect
to see that customer again.

motives. But they do not understand
what he is driving at.
When he declared war against Spain,
he simply opened school on the Con
tinent, and informed the world that he
preferred to use moral suasiOn in max
ing all of the inhabitants Of both Con-
tinents and the adjacent Islands be-
have themselves. But he said, also,
that he kept a rod in pickle, and should
not hesitate to use it, if any of the
little boy nations of South America
did not behave.
The suspicious of these rather riot
Gus, unruly, badly regulated nations,
are quite justifable. Uncle Sam will re-
store order in Cuba. He will have
hard time of it, and it will cost him
something. But he will insist on the
abolition of revolutions as a daily pas
time, and he will not tolerate unequal
justice.
This means influence. and the South
American Republics are seeming it.
So there is a disposition to become
sulky about it, and they secretly hope
that some great Power will punch
Uncle Sans head, and tell him to mind
his own business.
Of course, Uncle Sam is not wholly
philanthropist. He knows that there
is money and good business in enlight-
ened philanthropy. The more settled
the South Americans are, and the less
they try to shake up the frame works
of their little Republics, the more pro-
ftable consumers of goods they be-
| come.
The civilized world will be glad of
| the day when Uncle Sam, in the inter
| ests of good order, lays down a tele-
phone wire through the Isthmus of Pa
mama to every capital of the Southern
Continent Whenever there is an out
break, or a revolution, or a petty war
the old gentleman will fulfill one of his
missions on earth by getting out of bed

and shouting, Hello there! You, dow1

his pet political pastime, the revolution
and the shooting wall, naturally de
presses the soul of the South Ameri
can. But he will submit.

THE SPANISH AMERICANS.

The Mexicans and the Spanish-Am-
orleans do not take very kindly to the
.sloyey-dovey" expressions of Uncle
Sam in his conversations with them
about the future of the South Ameri-
can Republics. The confding spirit
they exhibited some years ago, has
given way to many distressing sus-
picions that Uncle Sam intends to COB
BILE up the entire Continent from the
Isthmus to Patagonia. They now re-
fuse. some of their papers say, to be
made a miserable tool" of his vault
ing ambition. The Monroe doctrine is
a trick, they say, which helps the Am
orleans more than it does the South
Americans.
No doubt the people of Chilli are quite
hostile to the United States, owing to
the Baltimore affair, and the prompt
action of Capt. Evans. The Mexicans,
it is well known, nurse a deep hatred
of Americans, owing to their loss OF
territory through the Mexican war of
'47. The newspapers of Venezuela and
other neighboring States show wick
ed spirit towards the United States,
and much sympathy with Spain since
the beginning of the present war.
It is quite natural that these COM
munities, springing mainly from the
Latin race, should suspect Uncle Sans
