Just out. 1t is Il handsomely bound
book, of nearly one thousand pnges,
printed on the very best of paper,

of our legal friends who have re-

critically examined it, speak of it
in terms Of warm praise, and OK
press themselves as being better
satisfied with it than Mr.. Hogg's
former work, and which is stand

graduate our friend on this, his
last success, as law writer.

Criticism, unkind comment, cruel
gossip, and unjust condemnation
are too frequently INDUCED in,
The grim bones of some unfortu-
rate occasion or circumstance often
come home to individuals who are
ever ready and willing to push
scandal and hearsay babbIe into
the highest recesses of society and
church. 1t matters little to them
whose heart is pierced during their
happiest hours of serenity; it mat
ters not whose character they be-
smear with their tongues, leaving a
stain that the tears of lifetime
cannot remove.

EnmtlY Partnership.

If tho new husband of to- day en-
tered upon his business with as lit
tie knowledge as the wife of today
does about keeping house the bust
ness would be siokly indeed. The
wife is intended to be the help
meet of the husband in everything.
They form partnership; she to
manage the home department and
he the other. A failure on the
part of either will seriously injure
the other.
The silly idea of silly girls and
women that they should not keep
house themselves is dangerous to
this republic. A republic is based
upon its we'll managed homes and
the homes must be managed by
the wives not by servants. Sup
pose the men turned over the ma l.
agement of their business to hire
lings what would be the result?
Success would follow only in rare
cases, It follows in fewer cases
whore the wife does not manage
because her hirelings, even if
trustworthy, soon marry themselves
and she must be constantly getting
new ones who do not understand
her affairs.
The greatest wonder is though,
that mothers, who have been good
wives themselves, do not regard
the training of their own daughters
on this line with any degree of ia
vor. They seem to ignore the idaa
that their daughters will ever have
to keep house as they did.

1t is said that there are lots of
young rabbits in the country this
spring and chances are that there
will be some good hunting this fall
if the hogs who use ferrets can be
headed off long enough. The de-
cent sportsmen of the country are
going to break up this practice of
hunting with ferrets or make those
who use them pay very high price
for the game they get. The men
who use them ure we'll known and
it is known every time they go out
with their pets.

RUMOR F|ENDS IN H|LO.
THE TRIBUNE CALLS THEM DOWN
ROUNDLY.
Calls Editorial Attention to the Impos-
sibility of Their Stories Being True.
Confidence in Board of Health.

They have rumor fiends in Hilo as
well as they have in Honolulu. They
seem to mask themselves there as they
do here. They get their information
from some one who knows"
But likewise there is good sense and
good counsel in Hilo as well as in Ho-
nolulu which goes far toward neutral
izing the damage the rash rumor hends
might otherwise do. The Hilo Tribune
of January 20 publishes the following
clear statement of facts and conclu-
sions:
People in Hilo, who have received
private communication from friends in
Honolulu are spreading the report that
the plague situation is much worse than
is published by Board of Health in Ho-
nolulu, and are giving this rumor the
semblance of fact by stating it upon
the authority of some one who is right
there and ought to know" This is I'M
doubleday no more than rumor in Ho-
nolulu, where rumor is rife, but there
are means of proving its unreliability
there, and thus multiplying it's effect,
while it's becoming current here makes
the situation seem worse than it is. AS
matter of fact the Board of Health
would prefer to have certain deaths de-
cleared to be of the plague when they
are at all suspicious, in order that they
may burn novels whose unsanitary con-
dition and filth render them at any time
a menace to public health. In no case
has this been done, which fact, in itself,
should disprove any such rumors which
sensation mongers may put in circula-
ton. The very efficient, fearless and
thorough manner in which the board
is proceeding should give the public
every confidence in their actions and
reports"
