Plain Enourh,

At the bar of o hotel in Yorkshire
town stood two men who had just set
tied bet concerning football match.
One Of the men possessed frontis-
piece which Mark Twain would desig-
nate as "very homely." The other man
had evidently observed this physical
disadvantage. for presently, just be-
fore they parted, he said to his COM

A TRUE TALE.
How q Young Girl Frightened ON
British Soldiers During the
War of 1912.

"Oh, II were only mani" exclaimed
1iebecca Bates. girl Of IA, as she looked
from window of lighthouse at
Scituate, Mass, during the war of 1879,
and saw British warship anchor in the
harbor.
What could you do?" asked Sarah
Winsor, young visitor. "See what a
lot Of them the boats contain, and look
at their guns!" And she pointed to five
large bouts filed with soldiers in scar
let uniforms. who were coming to burn
the vessels in the harbor, and destroy
the town.
~ don't care; I'd fight!" said, Rebec-
CO. I'D use fathers old shotgun-any-
thing. How still it is in the town.
There is not man to be seen!"
"Oh, they are hiding till the soldiens
get nearer. Then We'll hear the shots
and the drum"
"The drum!" exclaimed Rebecca.
How can they use It? It is here. Fa-
ther brought it home last night to
mend. Seel They are going to burn
fathers sloopl Where is that drum {?
I've mind to go down and beat it,"
As flames began to rise from the
sloop. the ardor of the girls increased.
They found the drum and an old fife,
and slipping out Of doors unpoticed by
Mrs. Bates, soon stood behind row Of
sandhills.
"Rub-a-dub! Rub-a-dub-dub!" went
tho drum. and squeak. squeak,
squeak!" went the fife.
The Americans in the town thought
that help had come from Boston, and
rushed into boats to attack the red
coats. The British paused in their work
Of destruction; and, when the fife be-
gan to play yankee Doodle" they
scrambled into their boats and rowed
in haste to the warship, which sailed
swiftly away.-Mail and Express.

THE PETITION On BEHALF OF THE
PRINCESS.

The petition TO be presented to the
President and Congress, on behalf OF
Princess Kaiulani, is an admirable in
stance OF the influence OF good sense,
litical friction. 1t illustrates the gen
erOus disposition of men who have act
ed under a sense Of duty only and
without personal and selfish aims. AZ
ter all, II Is the personal relation that
largely guides men, in their dealings
with each other. Abstract rights do
not interest the average mind The
moment the world is touched on it's
kindly side by heroism or great mis-
fortune its generosity becomes active,
and even inconsistent.
Unearned pensions and rewards are
constantly granted by governments
and people without any mathematical
estimate Of their business or even eX-
pediency.
II coldly calculated, every person
were placed in the scales of abstract
justice and right, there would be havoc
in human affairs. and an almost uni
versal shifting of property and ,honors.
IL Is something to be proud of that
nearly all of the men who were lead
ers in the Overthrow should join in
this petition TO the President and Con-
gress. II Is conclusive evidence that
their motives in the Overthrow were
not V 'ndictive, and were free from sell
fishness as human motives can be.
Were It otherwise, they would not now
exhibit magnanimity or generosity.
The few leaders among the natives
who remain unreconciled to the new
order OF things do not understand the
kindress or generosity that has guided
these petitioners. 1t Is unfortunate
that il is SO. Events, beyond the con-
troll OF men living here; the Justify
growing trade of lac Pacific. due to
our geographical position, are now
pressing on the natives, and they Will
need strong friends in the close COM
petition of the future. But the men
who declared their kindly feeling to-
wards the last representative OF the
Monarchy will continue to protect the
native interests in the future, as they
have in the past.

In the case Of Hawaii. the constitution
and laws Of the United States are ex-
tended over the Islands, by the declar-
alton that no municipal laws shall be
passed In conflict with the constitu-
ton.
over the territory coded by Spain,
there is no argument for, or sugges-
ton OF, the dominance of the consti-
tuition and laws over the coded ter
ritory. The relations OF an annexed
territory are not created.
II Is well known that the United

But IL not contended that the consti-

While the question Is "A new one re-

been decided indirectly by the supreme
Court at various times. As the ques-
ton raised affects our own interests,
the following extract repeatedly cited
in the Congressional debates from the
decision Of the Supreme Court in
Loughborough vs.. Blake 4 Wheaton
will interest laymen:
The eighth section of the first article
gives to Congress the power TO lay
and collect taxes, duties. imposts, and
excuses" for the purposes hereinafter
mentioned This grant Is general,
without limitation as to place. l. con-
saquently extends 10 all places over
which the Government extends. II this
could be doubted, the doubt Is re-
moved by the subsequent words, Which
modify the grant. These words are
but all duties. imposts, and excuses
shall be uniform throughout the United
States. II will not be contended that
the modification OF the power extends
TO places to which the power itself does
not extend.
The power then, to lay and collect
duties, imposts, and excuses may be ey-
ercised. and must be exercised
throughout the United States. Does
this term designate the whole or any
particular portion OF the American en-.
pire? Certainly this question can ad.
