SUCH IS FAME.
A Small Schoolgirl Gets the Hero Of
Manila Into n Bad
Mix Up.

One Of the most popular of the young pro.
fessors in the male high school tells an
amusing little story on small, up-to-date
schoolgirl. She went to one of these dis
trict schools over which a cousin of the
professor presides. 1t is usual to have Wis
itors at the building now and then, who
ask the scholars questions and see that
everything is in good shape. One day not
so long since a party of callers came in and
requested the pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them. One Of
these questions was: Tell what you know
about Admiral Dewey's great fight"
The children set to work figuring on their
answers, but the teacher noticed one of the
girls did not make move to do so.
why don't you write your answer to the
question:" she demanded of the idle pupil.
'Taint no use" was the slow response.
81 don't know nothing about it."
But" demonstrated the teacher, you
must try, anyhow; you must not sit there
idle while the others are doing the best
they can. See if you cannot think of some
thing, my dear"
mo uss," protested the pupil. "All know
is that Dewey and Corbett fought, and
don't know which whipped, and don't care
either"
Such is fame, and the bold sailor who
sunk Montojo's feet must go promenading
down the halls of time with pompadoured
ex-slusger for a partner.-Louisville Times.

graphical position. San Francisco is the
most desirable port of export for the
Hawaiian islands, the Philippines,
Hong-Kong and the Asiatir ports. San
Francisco is a midway station 20 the
orient, and should naturally be in
touch with the incoming and outgoing
commerce of those countries, whose
demands for American goods are enor-
mously Increasing. About $600.G00. 900
worth Of American goods are yearly
sent to the Philippines and contiguous
countries. Yet the total exports last
year from San Francisco by sea were
only $i0,000,000 and the imports $780,
100000. 1t is to get more of this trade
that has caused San Francisco to
awaken. The annexation. of the Ha-
walian islands and the occupation of
Inc Philippines opens up new era to
Inc United States and to the Pacific

| The Hawaiian islands exported last
year to the United States about $15.-
CG0. 900 worth of sugar, and received in
return about $4,000. 600 of our goods.
1 California has about 80 per cent. of the
Hawaiian trade. The question with
! California since the annexation is, can
she hold the bulk of that trade and its
natural increase? The increased pro-
duction of sugar is rapidly overshadow-
! ing every other industry on the islands
the sugar kings, with their concentric
rings, have a monopoly of the sugar
production. Another set of kings have
recently appeared on the island and
I have increased the coffee production.
! The Hawaiians. or rather California
! capitalists, have been buying most of
their building material and machinery
for their sugar mills from Germany
and England. AS rice. bananas and
rineapples are produced in Hawaii it
will be seen that here is also a compe-
automatically with Louisiana and
| South Carolina.
California expects, however, to fill up
the Filipinos with her fruits, and also
to supply them with wheat. flour and
manufactured goods. During the last
| few months there has been a liberal
shipment of California wines to Manila,
| with the view of educating the taste of
the native to our standard, and thus
make of him consumer. He may not.
however, consume much of our other
products. raw or otherwise.
Since the acquisition of Hawaii, with
| the duty off, the shipments of Califor-
ria wines to that country are the
largest in the history of the state.
Japan has nearly doubled her orders for
wine during the past year, and China
has shown an increased taste for it.
| Arrangements are being made to un-
| load cargoes of it in Porto Rico and
Cuba. The wine crop of California last
year was about 100000 of gallons, q
| falling off of about 40 per cent. from
| the year previous. These open doors
| and the decreased production have
| caused a slight rise in prices. The
wine industry will now receive fresh
| impetus in California; and in order 10
cultivate the great vineyards cheap la
| Dor must be had. This will also open
the door for more Chinese and Japan
csc. They are more expert and work
much cheaper than the Caucasian, and
this competition will shut the door for
him. There is nothing to prevent the
Hawaiians, our newly -acquired broth
ers, from entering the California labor
field; and we may soon have about
5000, 900 Filipinos to recognize as BROTH
| ers.
A new field and new problem pre-
| sents itself, and California may be the
| first called upon to solve it. The dis
| covery of new world opened other
lines of trade and changed commercial
centers. Our recent acquisitions, with
the open doors. may revolutionize the
commerce OF the world, and perhaps
build upon the Pacific one of the great
est cities in the United States.
