sunday after Sunday the same de-
mure little creature sat in the last pew
On the right-hand side of the center
aisle in st. Matthias Church, and sun
day after Sunday the young minister
in charge looked down over his congre-
CATION and caught the Wistful look OF
Il pair of dark brown eyes that was
solemn and pathetic ut once. Before
the last amen of the recessiOnal had
ceased to Yibrnte on the ears OF the
kneeling wOrshipers the little creature
had each time made her way out of the
church unnoticed. After awhile Rev.
John GrimShaw, who was six and
twenty, and impressiOnable at that, be
gan to feel the influence of that benign
expression, and of those solemn dark
eyes, and decided to speak with the
girl if an opportunity presented itself,
and the opportunity did come one Fri
day night OH a saints day when there
was Il special service at the church in
the evening
She had never been into the church
before except on Sunday, and what
was his surprise and pleasure when
the young minister lifted his eyes that
night and saw the face that was be
ginning to interest him sitting before
him quite near the front. During the
singing of hymn he approached her
and asked her to remain after the
service, as he wished to say a few
words to her. She did not reply. eN-
ccpt with a mute appeal in her splendid
dark eyes. He mStoOk her silence for
embarrassment and returned to his
place at the lectern. At the close of
the service he hurried TO the side of the
girl, who was just in the act of leaving
her pew, and spoke Il few words TO her.
He was inviting her in that calm de-
liberate way that characterized him. to
come to church often, to consult him.
To become regular worshlper at the
church; but rs he talked In low. per
Suasiye tones. and no response came
from the girl. he began to wonder at
her extreme bashfulness, and when she
began to shake her head. to make rapid
signs with her deft fingers. in an in
slant he realized that the appealing
eyes that .Yed him in his dreams
ana in hlpRUanaimoments. and the
pretty but sad face, were those of Il
deaf mute and so swift and sudden
was the surprise that swept over him,
that he could have cried out in his
anguish. A chill came over his heart.
but only for an instant and in the next
he communicated as best he could by
mods and smiles and expression that he
understood her and was sorry for her
He tried to make her understand that
he would like her to continue to come
to church and be a good Christian. but
whether she comprehended him or not
he did not know. He walked to the
door with her. and as she went slowly
down the stone steps he nodded Il
pleasant goodnight as she looked back.
When he was alone that night the
young preacher gave way to his emo
ton. He realized that he was deeply in
love with the little being who had never
spoken a word to him. and whom he
nOk knew would never speak to him.
He should never know that sound Of
her voice. which in his fancy was low
and soft and musical. And now. on

An opportunity was given by The
Star to a gentleman who claimed that
the food supplied to the soldiers on
the last transports was both good in
quality and well cooked, to make his
statement to the public. The state
ment has not materialized, so it is to
be presumed that after further inves-
tigation he is satisfied that the COM
plants are based upon substantial
grounds. His claim was that the SOL
diers are chronic GROWERS, that many
of them were unaccustomed to hard
fare and that while in camp in San
Francisco they had too many indul-
gences. To this it may be replied
that though there may be some truth
in the contentious, these are the on
ly transports where the men univer-
sally made complaint, and further
that the complaints came not only
from the volunteers. but also from
the regulars, who for years had been
accustomed to a soldiers rough fare.

gress in annexing the Islands. The
whole country has at last Weakened
up to the fact that it now owns the
cross roads of the North Pacific and
dominates it both from military
and a commercial point of view.
War is a great instructor of geog-
raphy. People get out their aliases
and study the location of places where
their armies may be. When the first
transports arrived here one of the
journals published in this city devoted
some time to dilating upon the fact
that this was the first occasion on
which American soldiers would cross
the line. Since then, no doubt, the
erudite writer has studied his map,
and discovered that Manila is consld-
erably north of the line.
So with the vast majority of poo
pie. The fact that the United States
fleet and the United States troops
had gone to Manila, drew attention to
L
the North Pacific soon brought re-
alization of the commanding position
of these Islands. With that knowl-'
edge the Importance of the step that
Congress took in anneXing these Is
lands at once became apparent, and
the move popular one. 1t passed
from the nebulous idea of mythic is
lands in an unknown ocean into
practical realization of the occupation
thousands of Americas sons were
sailing and for whom warm hearts
were beating from bleak Dakota with
its SHOWS and billiards, to sunny Ten
nessee, from California in the golden
west, to New York and the rugged
coasts of the Atlantic.
| 1t is this, no doubt, that has, more
than anything, had its effect upon
| the mind of the nation. The anneXa-
ton of the Islands always had warm
friends among the thinking part of
the population, it had friends in CAL
ifornia and some of the western states
and in the east, because, during the
forties and fifties, through the whal-
ing industry, the east was intimately
acquainted with the Islands. 1t al
ways had strong advocates among far
seeing statesmen, from the time of
William L. Marcy to the present. But
there can be no doubt that large
section was apathetic. In spite of all
that had been written and said they
did not know or care where the Is.
lands were, and could see no tangible
reason for their occupation. Now this
is all changed. They see it for them.
selves and hence the widespread pop
ularity of the joint resolution. The
war FASTENED it on, and the wal
made it popular.

Another thought comes with regard
to the Dole incident and the $500 sub
scription, which is now called an 'of-
fetal act. 1t was heralded as a pri-
vate subscription from one end of the
States to the other; it was so re-
garded by the newspapers here, and
remarks made upon it. Mr. Dole
reads the papers and should have put
himself right. 1t was only when the
accounts were called for by the Leg
islature that the official" act came
to light. 1t is to be presumed that
buying under clothing was also an
official act, lengthening the sleeves
of a coat, another; ironing hat, an
other; all of which items and a great

not a pleasant one; it is a pity it was
