In an eddy whirl the bubbles
Wher5 the swift Nuuanu
s,ream---
To fulfil dream of troubles
Greets the rain and lightning's
CLEAN.
Still the bubbles circle steadyl
Now they see the waters glide
OF the mountain, and are ready
For the scenes twixt there and

Now their eyes are wide and
cleaning,
For those waters move the
stones
And the mountain side is stream
ing
Where the thunder sits, and
moans.
Bubbles eyes are growing
brighter:
Baby bubbles going hence
Think the time would go the
lighter
Could they take that graveyard
fence.
But they smiled the matter over
AS they jumped Kapena Falls,
Where they took a dog named
Rover"
Which made music with his
calls.
Rover's tail was rather knotty
Andit caught between two trees,
Now he's swinging like Miss
Lottie:
There's circus in the breeze.
Here's the falls Waikahalulu,
Oft they sing in plantive moan,
But today for Honolulu
They are singing baritone.
Bubbles eyes begin to culver:
There's a house half turned
around;
And a boy is in the river,
Now he's rescued all but
drowned.
But there's one tonight who's
sleeping
Wells the sailor tried to save
Tears the skies tonight are weep

Beautiful Mrs. Webb. Socialist.

Among the many remarkable careers
of the modern woman, called new, "
none has been moro remarkable than
that of Beatrice Potter, the wife of the
English socialist, Sidney Webb
Miss Potter was the seventh and
youngest daughter of a wealthy Ian
cashire manufacturer whose wife was
not only the mother of seven beautiful
and gifted girls, not one of whom was
less than 8 feet s inches in stature, but
who was noted for her own talents and
accomplishments.
OF all the seven the youngest, Bea-
trioe, was the most remarkable. She
pursued her studies under the direction
and with the assistance of Herbert
Spencer, who has always declared hers
to be the most remarkable female mind
he has ever encountered. She was the
tallest of the seven and when she was
introduced to London society was said
to be one of the most beautiful women
of her generation. Such girl, who pos
sessed besides an ample fortune of her
own, was not likely to want for admir-

One day, without warning, she disap-

which she embodied in an article in one
of the reviews, that stirred all England,
was made the subject of debate in par

of a commission which investigated and
reformed the sweatshops. From that
day Beatrice Potter returned no more to
the world

A Woman with n Mission.

A few days ago | met woman with
a mission. One meets women of this
class frequently, and it must be said
they are rather tiresome persons.
They fancy they We're inoarnated for
the sole purpose of lifting their sisters
to higher plane of living and think
ing. The fact that the other women
may have pronounced ideas of their own
counts for nothing with these revolu.

everything = spiritualism, theosophy
the theories of animal magnetism, mag
netic healing and Christian science
They are prepared TO teach mixture Of
all They usually believe they We're
placed on earth for this sole purpose.

would only profit by my experience, but
they will not. They 60 on in their own

Another woman Of the same class is
unusually clever and has considerable
time at her disposal She studied all
