AS UNCLE JABEz SEES IT.

This world amt what 1t used ter be-
No, nowhere nigh;
The good old times We used ter see
Have all gone by;
Fer all these modern fellers spout
"Progressiveness," and tell about
How airth has just begun ter sprout;
Tween you and I,
The old dirt ball Is all played out
And bound ter die.
Now, see the gals-theyre all so plain
That, declared
Yer can't find one like Betsy Jane
Not anywhere;
She's older now, but take her when
She picked me out from all the men
BY links! if yerd a-seen her then
Shed make yer stare.
They'll never make that kind again;
Sich eyes and hair!
There's cookin', now-jest take mince pie;
An eight-inch slice
OF mothers style want more a try
Ter taste the spice!
But nowadays If jest take
A bite of this new kind they make
I'm doubled up in ha'f shake,
Jest like a vice,
And have a kind of stomach-ache
That isn't nice.
Take weather, too-now there's the snow
Ma used ter let
Me wade in drifts waist-deep and. sho!
'Twa'n't cold er wet;
But now the stuff that falls-gee whiz!-
Don't make no odds how light 1t is,
1t soaks me and Pm almost friz;
And don't / get
The chilblains and the rheumatizT
Well, you jest bet!
That's why say, IS 1 said afore.
This old dirt ball
Amt what it used ter be no more:
It's on the fall.
All this progression" s in horn;

And gettin' wusser every morn
Fer large and small

The Developers of Hawaii.

The commercial development of Ha-
waii was begun by the sons of the first
missionaries, and has been to a very
large extent carried on by their de-
scendants. Other white settlers have
married into these families, and so to-
day those who are connected with these
pioneers of Hawaiian civilization,
either through direct descent or by
marriage, collectively are called the
missionary element, and represent at
least three -fourths of Hawaii's indus
trial and commercial strength.
And this element in its full strength
has been literally the salvation of Ha-
waii. It has been the upbuilding and
the cleansing of the islands during
times of extreme individual peril and
uncertain governmental existence. 1t
is the element which furnished the
ministry whose first official act was to
vote down their respe ctive salaries
couple of thousand dollars each. And
there is not an intelligent anti mission
ary man on the islands who does not
know this, and realizes how weak is
the platform on which his clan stand.

Our Bessie.


Our Bessie is just four years old,
and dearly loves Aunt Bessie, for
whom she was named. One bright
morning she danced into mamma s
room just as the sun was making rosy
clouds in the east.

citedly, holding something above her
head. ''Aunt Bessie canned while 1
sleeped, where is she?"
''How do you know that she has
Gomez" smiled mamma.
Because I fnded this on my pill

beside mamma.
Such wonderful doll! Not pink
and white one, with fluffy yellow hair
and staring blue eyes. Oh, no! Bessie
had half dozen such in her play
room. This dearest, loveliest doll
that she had ever seen had face as
black as a rubber shoe, which shone
like patent leather. 1t had lips as red
as cranberry, and great black eyes
that glistened like jet because of the
white around them.
isn't she a darling?" demanded
wee Bessie, with a loving squeeze, and
just then Aunt Bessie herself came in.
''Do you like your dollie, pet?" she
asked.
''She is the incest bu'fullest one
1 ever had, answered Bessie.
SO she played with Dinah all day,
and Aunt Bessie made a wee night
dress for her, so she could sleep in
Bessie's little bed at night.
The next morning Betty, the wash
erwoman's little girl, brought a note
to Bessie's mamma. Betty stood near
| the door while mamma read the note,
| looking at the new doll with longing
eyes that made Bessies little heart
ache with sympathy. Aunt Bessie
gave her some candy, but she held it
in her hand and looked at Dinah.
Bessie tried hard not to see her. She
turned around and sang little songs
as she slowly rocked Dinah and Rugged
her tightly, but she told Aunt Bessie
after Betty went away, ST could feel

This is what Bessie did. She
kissed Dinah, laid her in Betty's arms,

William L. McNair, a young man

extraordinary memory. The events

preserved in the brain, as the cylinder

which they came, fires, murders, the
death of famous men, together with
vast quantity of miscellaneous infor-
nation, seem to be completely at Mr..
McNair'x command, and without the
practice and rehearsal that memoriz-

The population of Butte and South
Butte is given at $4,000. Counting in

most desolate-looking places possible.
Not blade of grass, not tree OF
flower. Just never ending vista OF
bare earth. The same thing is en-
countered in Butte. No flowers or
vegetation, save in the florists win
dows. Many people contend that it
is the total abstinence Of the beautiful

lence.
Looking at the paved streets and
fine buildings it is difficult to believe
that the ground under the city is lit

CHILOREM's COLUMN.
Some Queer Things.

It's queer, when the world seems steady,
1t really is whlrling SO;
It's queer that the plants get larger.
When no one can see them grow;
It's queer that the fountains water
Leaps high In the sunshine bright:
And queer that the moon can never
Fall out Of the sky at night.
It's queer that one clover blossom
Is white and another red,
When the same black earth surrounds them
The same rain waters their bed.
It's queer that of all these wonders
We take so little heed;
And that, as for feeling thankful,
We seldom see the need.
We scold If the weather's chilly,
And fret at the hot sunlight;
Don't like to get up In the morning,
Hang back from the bed at night;
And queerer than all the queer things
Are surely those girls and boys
Who live in the world of beauty,
And rather see woes than joys.

There's cheerin' silver linin'

And his feathers is awry,
That his mission here amongst US
Is only squawk and cry;
You just wait until you hear him,
And ten chances unto one,
He'll sing you into thinkin'
That your life has just begun.
When you see bud a-growin'
On pond as black az night,
Don't let all the thoughts OF beauty
In your mind be put to flight;
But just watch it In its changes,
And almost before you know,
Twill turn out to be lily,
White and pure as silent snow
So keep your heart a-singin',
Be it spring or be 1t fall,
For there's sunshine, yes, and roses,
In the world, enough for all
And no matter how forebodin',
Or how dark the clouds may be,
There's a cheerin' silver linin'
Wdy up there for you and me.

How Fish Hooks Are Made.

Boys can make primitive pin fish
hook with single bend, but it takes
six strokes of little machine to turn
out the regulation fish hook of steel
wire. The first stroke snips off a bit
of the wire, the second stroke forms
the loop where the line is fastened,
the third hacks the other end, the
fourth fattens and bends back the
barb, the fifth makes the point, the
sixth bends the wire and the hook
slips into little holder, ready to be
finished. This is done by either
iapanning it or giving it finer finish
