Elsie Learns About Honey.
Els1e"s first experience with money
occurred when she was 50 short thar
she had to climb up on a stool IN
order to see the clerk behind the candy
penny out of her little white mitten,
reach it out to the clerk and say.
"A little tandy mouse, Please" So the
first thing Elsie learned about money
was that she could exchange 1t Tor
something she wanted. On day Elsie's
uncle came to visit her, and he gave
her more money than she had. ever
had at one time in her life-a bright
new silver quarter. 1t was 80 pretty
that Elsie thought she would keep IT
always. She carried it everywhere she
went and thought about it most OF
the time. Then she began to be AFRAID
she would lose 1t, and it worried her
very much until she thought OF
place where she could hide it. When
no one was looking she picked out
q tiny spruce tree in the field where
she often played, and under this tree
she planted her shiny quarter. Then
she ran away to play, happy In the
thought that her precious money was
safe. Next morning she went to look
at 1t. She dug and dug all around
the tree, but she did not find it. She
looked under ell the other little spruce
trees, tox. strange to say. they ~
looked SO much, alike that she could
not exactly remember which one was
the tree where she buried her treasure.
she never found the money, but she
learned two things: First, money 10
a great care in itself and of no use
unless it rs in use; second, buried
money is as good as no money. Tho
next money Elsie had was whole dol
lar bill. She could hardly believe that
the little rectangle of green paper was
four times as good as the shiny money
she had lost. They had to explain to
her that four shiny silver quarters had
been locked up for her in Uncle Sans
big treasure house, and that the green
bill was just. to say that she could buy
dollars worth Of something and he
would pay the silver or gold for It.
The bill she hid on the shelf behind
the clock. and on rainy days she would
climb up and look at it and plan what
she would buy with it at Christmas
time. When Christmas was near she
went with Auntie to town to spend the
dollar. She bought jack knife {. for
Brother Hal, handkerchief for papa
and pretty cup and saucer for
mamma. They were all SO pleased and
surprised with her presents that Elsie
made UP her mind that all money was
good for WAS to spend In making other
people happy. Some day I will tell you
how Elsie first learned that money had
to: be earned and how she earned her

I While admitting that certain
slang phrases may enrich the
language and that the difference
between a living and a dead
language is the presence in one
and the absence from the other
of new words, a protest must be
entered against a too liberal use
=of unauthorized creations. There
] are slang words that fill a distinct
yoid-express an idea better than
any recognized phrase. They are
good. They will make their wav
into polite speech. But there is
"a type of slang as meaningless as
it is vulgar that has no function
except to defile. It ought not to
be dif6culs to distinguish between
the two encouraging one, reject
ing, the other. -Pittsburg D is

which places us under practically the
same conditions as before annexation
The present Congress might, If it saw
fit, provide for a duty on Hawaiian su-
gar, just as it does on sugar from Porto
Rico.
Were Hawaii to be made a part OF the
State Of California nothing of this sort
could be done. We would then be part
and parcel of a sovereign State and
without the pale of Congressional legis-
lation, only such as affects the general
state of the Union.
There are other considerations Of great
Importance. If Hawaii were made a
part of the State of California the peo-
pie would elect their local officers, II
Guiding Judges, instead of having them
appointed, and they would elect their
pro rata of members of the State Leg
islature. We would secure at once an
excellent code of civil and criminal laws
The Supreme Court of the State youId
hold sessions In Hawaii once year
just. as 1t now holds sessions N San
Francisco and Los Angeles. We would
have a member of Congress with a vote
| on the floor instead of a Delegate with
out a vote.

sumo that Hawaii might have one of the
| United States Senators for the State a
large portion of the time. After she
| great growth of the southern counties
of California following the boom OF
| 1SS5-6-7 the southern part of the State
began demanding one of the two Sena-
tors, who, previous to that, nad always
resided in the San Francisco region. Be
ginning with the election of Stephen NJ
White in 1898, Southern California has
had one of the two Senators continu-
| cin ic n K
to suppose that in deadlock between
the north and the south of the State
over a Senator both sections would
agree upon man from Hawaii for The
position. But granting that this would
never occur, the members of the Legs
Iature from this part of the State would
be powerful enough to prevent the e:ec-
ton of any man to the Senate WhC
would not be friendly to these Islands
BY becoming a part of the State OF
California, county government and city
government for Honolulu AMI Hilo coult
be established at once, under most ex-
ceIlent laws and without fri2tiOa, anC

publications had ample foundation in
fact. The Doric. it will be remembered,
sailed from this port on June 22d. so
that it will not be known for several
days what reception was given this
story:
BULLETINS GIVE AWAY
The following report of the movement
to join Hawaiis interests with those Of
California was forwarded by the DorIc
mail to leading newspapers of the State.
The correspondent states that the cam
paign for annexation to California is a
well established fact:
There is a strong movement on foot in
Honolulu, backed by many prominent
business men, Republicans and DerIo-
Gratis alike, to have the Territory Of Ha-
| wall annexed by act of Congress to the
| State of California as a county or cuun-
| ties thereof.
| This is a revival of the proposition
which was suggested prior to the an
nexation of the Islands, but which vas
frowned down at that time by the men
in control of island politics, because 1t
| threatened to take the political power
out of the hands of the then ruling
| faction. The movement which has in
the past year become too popular 10
longer be repressed will in all prob
ability be again bitterly opposed by the
present local government, as soon as all
the facts of the revival and its causes
become public here, which will be within
a few weeks.
The matter has been already brought
to the attention of the authorities at
Washington, and there is very good au-
thority for stating that it has already
been favorably received by the Presi-
the Hawaiian Gordian knot and dispose
of the present vexatious political situa-
ton here. In this connection it may be
positively stated that at least five or six
leading Congressman have already been
sounded by letter and in every instance
favorable replies have been received, and
in some instances full support promised
At a conference held recently 1t was
determined to submit a formal statement
of the scheme for annexation to Califor-
MIA to the President and the next Con-
gress and urge that immediate action be
taken on the proposition as soon as Con
gress sits. DR.. David Starr Jordan now
in Honolulu has publicly endorsed the
j. plan and believes that it will receive the
hearty support of the voters of Califor-
MIA without respect to party politics, as
soon as a statement of facts IS submit
ted. DR.. Jordan yesterday said that Il
the plan can be carried out, as he thinks
it viii, California win at once become
the foremost State of the Union fol-
diversified industries.
1t is believed here that if the consent
of California can be obtained. with It's
present backing here and in Washington
Hawaii viii become a portion Of Califor'
MIA within year or eighteen months

NEW TRACK RECORDS MADE AT
WELL-ATTENDED HILO RACES

IT HE race meeting at Hoolulu Park,

u ed off without single unpleasant
incident to mar the festival. On July
4th the racing was witnessed by a vast
crowd, the grand stand being packed
to its limits. The sport was of an in
teresting nature and the majority of
the events were well contested
The crowds on Friday and Saturday
were naturally somewhat smaller than
was the case on Thursday but the
racing was of better class and product
i've of several exciting finishes. On each

1:471a, by Dixie Land
Old Amarino took three purses, Billy
