they and their property are the legi-

jecting to being thrown out of her
carriage because the 'sojers" wanted
it. Then we hear about a boat boy
"kicking" because some of the "stal-
warts" wanted to take his boat and
told him that they would break his
head if he didn't surrender it to
them. Then again kanaka with

with no common sense thrashes one
of the defenders of Old Glory who
insulted his "kanska" sister. Verify,
it is time that the Hawaiians real

through the agency of Mr.. Dole or
the A. U. p, but that they are con
quered by the valiant soldiers who
serve in the noble cause that repre-
sents the steal Of another country,
the robbery of another friendly ma,

sons of the native churches be in,
structed by their christian "bosses'

also, sausages which the Cubans greatly
affect. and sometimes veal or pork With
served, and bananas cooked in grease.
Then comes the ensalada salad, which is
sure TO be excellent enough TO make up for
other deficiencies, whether of lettuce and
tomatoes, or crisp, pungent crosses fresh
from some running stream, or strange
compound of fish. flesh or fowl, with fruits,
seeds. nuts. and vegetables. Then the pasta
de guayaba con queso tguava jelly with
cheese is in order; and afterwards fresh
fruits of various sorts. followed by coffee.
The latter is strong, black. and bitter,
which you are expected to take with sugar,
but no milk, and maybe dash of cognac.
Al this time a bottle of Bordeau claret. or
the thin, sour wine OF Catalina, has stood
at your elbow, and you might as well ask
for the moon as a glass of water. which as
a table beverage is not thought of in Span
ish America. Butter. as we know il in
the North, is not a ..cosa de Cuba" There
is a yellowish-iooking, strong smelling
compound brought from Denmark in Tin
cans and labeled American butter" which
resembles wagon grease and sells at dol
lar pOund-when it can find patron.
Dinner is a duplication OF breakfast,
with the addition of broth and maybe game
or poultry. The caldo (broth or soup is
made thick with onions, carrots, and seeds;
or maybe is a worm-like mass of vermi-
celia wriggling amid garlic; or the favorite
caldo de pan (bread soup, which closely
resembles a pOultice.

The American people, yea
the people of the world, will
be under lifelong obligations
to Uncle Russell Sage for a
bit of friendly and free ad.
vice given out not long since.
Uncle Russell advises the
people to lay up of their vast
stores of wealth for a rainy
day; that prosperity is pre-
pairing to make its exit al
most any time and mankind
generally should be prepar-
ed for a financial crisis. Now
if the laborers who receive
from SO cents to 1925 a day
do not heed this advice it is
their own fault. If a panic
comes and they haven't stor.
ed away several millions of
dollars for a rainy day" they
can not claim that Russell
Sage in his abundance of
goodness of heart did not
kindly forewarn them. So
with the farmers. If they do
not save from their 5O-cent
wheat and 20-cent corn and
Scent hogs, after paying
from 80 to 115 mills taxes
and other incidental ana liv-
ing expenses, enough to tide
them over any financial col
lapse that may befall, they
can not charge it up to their
Uncle Russell. For have
they not his example before
them? Do not they observe
how this great man practices
as he breaches by storing
away a cool S15,O0O,O0O each
year! Surely, since Uncle
has spoken, every man whose
ear his valuable advice reach
es will proceed forthwith to
store away s15,00O,O00 of his
wealth annually.
