From, the Ecening Asvs. Detroit, Mich.
Mrs. John Tansey, OF 1S0 Baker Street,
Detroit, Michigan, is one OF those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is mother
to those in distress. To a reporter she said:
'T am the mother OF ten children and

ago We had serious time with my dauSh-

teen years old. She did not have any seri-

The Chief Executive OF Hawaii Arrives
at Washington.
Sanford B. Dole, President Of the Repub-
lic Of Hawaii, is in Washington, the guest
Of the United States. The Hawaiian Presi:
Dental party arrived at 2.l5 Wednesday
afternoon, the train which brought
the visitors from Chicago having been
delayed two hours by a severe storm.
The honors due the President OF the new
republic were extended with great simplic-
ity on his arrival, but the plans which had
been made for an elaborate military and
civic demonstration were abandoned at his
own request. President D ole had said that
he preferred to come to the capital In
democratic manner, and, in accordance
with bis wish, only simple escort party
met him on his arrival.
President McKinley's carriage, occupied
by Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secre-
tary Adee, greeted the Hawaiian party at
the station. Asslstans Secretary Cridler
OF the State Department, Major Heistand
OF, the Army, Lieutenant Commander
Phelps OF the Navy, and Mr.. Hatch, the
Hawaiian Minister to the United States,
had met the Hawaiian visitors at Chicago
and accompanied them to Washington.
President Doles party consisted Of Mrs.
Dole; MS secretary, MAJOR u. +. laukeo,
and his physician, DR.. E. A. Day Of Homo
lulu. They were driven to the Arlington
Hotel, where the rooms on the second floor
known as the state apartments had been
reserved for President and Mrs. Dole.
Within an hour President Mckinley paid
visit Of ceremony to the Hawaiian Presi-
dent, being accompanied from the White
House by Secretary Porter and Colonel
Bingham, the army officer detailed as
Superintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds. Cordial greetings were ex:
changed by the two chief magistrates, and
some formal words of welcome were spoken
by President Mckinley.
Before o'clock President Dole returned
the call. being escorted to the Executive
Mansion by Minister Hatch, Assistant Sec
retaries Of State Cridler and Adee, and
Major Heistand. Secretary Iaukea and
Mr. Day accompanied Mr.. Dole.

Tho Loneliness of Age.

Be kind to the aged. How few think
Of this and treat with due considera-
ton those who have outlived their gen.
Grafton, and whose early companions
and friends have been taken from
them. Unable to engage In the actvi-
ties Of life, they are no longer brought
into contact and sympathy with those
around them, and NO tie Of common In
terest and mutual dependence binds
them together. Their views and tastes
have naturally grown apart. They
share but little in common with others.
The future Of this life has nothing to
inspire their ambition or excite their
hopes. What calls forth the energies
Of others has no inspiration for them;
They necessarily, to great extent, live
in a world Of their own, with which
those around are not familiar. The
communion Of their hearts Is with the
scenes Of the past, and the companions
of other years who have long ago pass
ed away. Lover and friend have been
taken from them, and their acquaint-
ance laid in darkness. The forms they
admired and loved are gone, and eyes
that looked into theirs with the tender
est affections are sightless, and the
voices that cheered and stirred their
souls have long been silent. Their
early world Of hope and Joy has be-
come desolation. and they In silence
contemplate the ruin that has been
wrought. They have but little to inter-
est them in the world. They are pill
grims and strangers here,
"Only waiting till the shadows
Are q little longer growl,"
to finish their course and ,-est from
their labors. Who would not do what
he can to cheer the loneliness OF age,
to smooth their pathway, and comfort
them in their declining years?
