WHY ANNEX RAWAII 2

The question as to whether Hawaii
shall be annexed is part of very
large question, as Mr.. Dockery said
the other day in the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t is the question of the
future policy of the United States as
to extension and colonization for it
will not do to say, as Mr.. Lodge and
his friends have said, that the annex
alton of the Hawaiian Islands at the
present time is a necessity of the war.
The only advantage that we can gain
in the present war through the annex
alton of the islands is the use of them
as a coaling- station and military
depot and that, as the friends of an.
nexation well know, we now possess
through the friendliness of Mr.. Dole
and his government. We cannot by
annexation get more than they will
give us without annexation. But il
will be said that if the Hawaiian gov.
vernment is not strictly neutral Spain
will have a cause of war or claim for
damages against the island. The
answer to this is that if the United
States cannot arrange a matter o.
this kind for the protection of Hawaii,
she cannot conquer Spain.--Ha,per'!

There is strange scarcity of birds
there few parrots and water fowls
seeming to cover the list.
There are no snakes, no beasts OF
prey, no noxious birds nor insects to
terrorize the field laborer.
The planter of any means will have
town house, and there brings the
family at carnival time.
In the country the houses are built
ten feet from the ground on piles.
This is to avoid the dampness.
Strange as 1t may seem, there are
no stenches noticeable IN the towns,
as in other tropical climes.
Monkeys and rabbits are unknown
on the island. Enormous rats, how
ever, abound and devastate the crops.
In 1913 the English failed in an
attack on the forts, and again in 1907
they had to retire after a three days
siege.
The traveller on horseback never
feels dressed up unless he carries a
basket-handled sword a yard and a
quarter long.
To move, the housewife packs up a
few calabash shells, some earthen
pots, one or two hammocks, two or
three game cocks and the machete.
Then all is ready.
"Xivaro' is how the small planter
is known. He loves his sweetheart,
his game cock, his cigar, his guitar,
his hammock and his horse. He is
quick to anger and quick to forgive.
He is not fond of work.
Men and women ride horseback
alike. Wicker baskets with handles
are hung on either side of the horses
shoulders. This carries provisions.
Back of the baskets, but in front of
the shoulders, the rider sits and
swings his feet.

A SONG OF THE evERYpAys.


Come, sing Inc a song in the tongue | know.
am tired Of the stilted strain,
The worn old rut where the fancies strut
In a meaningless, tangled chain.
I am weary of flights with the faroff gods,
That only the wise may praise.
/ want the mirth and the tears of earth,
A song of the everydays.
A song to tighten the lives of those
Whom labor has called its own,
A note to beat as an echo sweet
OF the world that each has known,
A breeze from the mountains craggy peak,
A Whit from the woodland ways,
A f1eck Of foam from the beach at home,
A song Of the e%verydays.
A blossom plucked from the hawthorn hedge
A leaf from the Dough above,
A ribbon rare or q tress of hair,
A kiss from the lips Of love.
A mother g step on a chamber floor,
The catch of a childish phrase,
A grass grown sod and a prayer to God,
A song Of the e%verydays.
Oh, sing me a song of the fields and hills,
A song Of the sea and land,
That shall ring again in the hearts of men
And the least shall understand.
No hint Of the scholars classic lore
Or the cynic's bitter lays,
But a song to rest in a PEASANTS breast
A song Of the %everydays.

Dangerous Apparitions.

Every once in a while a ghost crops
up in the columns of the daily or weekly
press. This CHASTITY spirit sometimes as
m the part of a promenader on some
lonely road, who t~errifies belated travel
ers out-of their wits. Few people credit
these blood curdling accounts of the do
ings Of his ghostship, but there is a
tenement which is un~questionably haunt
ed at times. When a nervous malady
attacks the human tenement the mani
~festations are most appalling, and usual
ly most violent at night. Sleeplessness,
If nervousness is disregarded, becomes
chronic, and the entire system suffers in
consequence. For disturbance of the
nerves Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
thorough remedy, and it also is for ma
laria, rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton and billiousness,
