Miss Amy, love you.'
With queenly gesture she arose and
swept toward the door. She usually
allowed her mother to do the sweeping.
but in this particular case she did 1t
herself. She swept toward the door.
and the young man, with gasp OF
despair, hollered:
''Why, Miss Amy, you are not going
to turn me down, are you?"
Miss Amy had reached the center OF
the room, and,S as she reached upward

MAY
NOT ISSUE
Washington Op-
posed to Use of
Old Securities.

There will be no bonds of the Gov
eminent until there has been passed by
the Legislature an act specifically au-
thorizing the issue. This was settled
by letter which was received yester-
day from Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, addressed to the Governor,
in which the right to issue such secur-
tiles was denied. This means that the
$799 900 bonds under the old acts never
will be utilized.
The letter of the Secretary was writ
ten in reply to one from the Executive,
sent during the session Of the Legisla-
ture asking if the President would ap
prove an issue. The fact that the
bonds would be the remaining ones of
an old issue, the ends for which they
were authorized having been attained
by use of money out of the current re-
ceipts of the Government, were set
forth, and a request made for the
speedy determination of the question,
The decision of the Secretary makes it
impossible for the Territory to have the
use of the proceeds of the bonds, but at
the same time leaves undecided the
lquestion which caused discussion when
the proposal of the Government was
made.
| In the letter of the Secretary, which
/ states that the matter has not been
submitted to the. President, the only
lquestion which is discussed is the meth
Cd of the issue. The deeper one of the
Icapacity of the Territory to benefit by
an issue of securities which were au-
thorized during the days of the Repub-
| lie, was left untouched. The letter
lsays the decision as to the issue is bas-
led on the opinion that further legisla-
ton must be had before there could is
sue any bonds under the old act, which
is section of chapter II, Laws of 1896,
of the Republic of Hawaii. This sec
ton says, after authorizing the bonds,
mo such bonds shall be issued except
lin pursuance of an act of the Legisla-
ture, authorizing the same
There were issued under the act of
1885, at that session and the following
4 one, over s1,200,000 of bonds. with no
further authorization than the appro-
ipriation bills enumerating the purposes
for which the proceeds shall be used
Most of these bonds have been redeem
led under the terms of the annexation
Resolution and the following acts. There
Iseems a discrepancy between two opin-
lions, one of which permits the taking UP
of bonds issued under certain condi-
Itions and the other declaring that the
conditions are not sufficient to consti-
tute authority for the bonds.
i The failure to make available this
tmoney, which would have been Of use
in the event of a loan act, will now
have no effect upon the finances of the
/ Territory, as in the absence of spe-
tcific appropriation for it's use the bonds
would have to lie unissued in the treas
Jury, and would play no part in reliev-
ing the stringency in official affairs
Acting Governor Cooper does not take
Iother than hopeful view of the situa-
ltion, for the. assessments have reached
lsuch a figure as to show that with a
substantial income tax return there will
be no great shortage in the Territorial
finances during the period for which
appropriations are made.

The Sons of sleep.

Now the wayfarine, row the restless Earth,
Deserving on her dim and trackless verge
The dear. awaited dawning Of the night,
Moves slowly in languor Of desire,
And slips into the haven OF her sleep.
Like dropping Of the sweet and gradual rain.
Full flooding all the parched doors of growth
The multitudinous lips Of all the flowers,
The whispering insistsnce of dry leaves,
All cool and rill-like flowing, falls sleep.
As the long thunderous surge Of ocean waves
That lnll eternally the listening Shore
SLOW sweeping in from vast and governed depths,
Comes the white tide that washes loose souls,
To drown them tenderly in depths of sleep.
Soft stealing like the swathed and plunled dusk,
Enwrapped in shadows shod with silences,
Unceasing. unresisted unobservei
Embosoming the lapsed and languid earth.
Slips DER the sons OF men close-feathered sleep.
By day they walk diverse and Isolate,
sunken in self they skulk their separate ways
Poor fugitiyes of Fate, awhirl in time,
Cropping for fellow-hands they dare not grasp,
GrudSing the thritless hours they yield to sleep.
But now. relaxed and drifting with that stream
WhereOn they taste soft moments Of the voyage
Whose unknown port seaman Of us all
Evaded ever. these swift, swarning souls
As one glad band OF brothers sink in sleep.
Surely the great and tireless Heart Of all,
Grieved by day for their perversity,
joys in them as they lie. breast soft on breast,
Hand locked in hand. iathom deep in dreams,
And brims anew the cooling wells of Slept

quick-tongued JEANNE, would say to this.
The long and short of II Is that Roose-
welt has gone Rough Riding over English
history with much the same confidence as
! that with which he organized a regiment
which should supersede all regular regt-
ments in the beauty and thoroughness OF
| its work. He is apparently convinced that
| the only use of English history is TO fur
nish object lessons for America; and he
several times expresses the opinion that If
Cromwell had been like George Washing
ton, he would have gotten along better.
There is good deal more Roosevelt in the
book than there is Cromwell, for at every
turning point the author stops to explain
things, not exactly in the first person
singular, but in a manner which suggests
that he is using that pronoun frequently.
We find. in the chapter dealing with the
makeup of Cromwelrs army, the follow
ing paragraph:
II in the regular officers prove to have
been trained merely to the pedantry of their pro
tession. and do not happen to number men Of
exceptional ability in their ranks. then sooner or
later the men who nre born soldiers will come to
the front, even though they have been civilians
until late in life.
The author here Just stops short OF add
ing las l did. for example"
The book is rich in comparisons between
Cromwelfs character, methods. govern
ment, and associates. and those of the
American leaders of today. so that the ef-
feet produced is somehow that of a trans
| lation of the speeches and writings of the
leader of the Ironsides into modern COLO
quail American. The author does not so
much transport himself into the period of
! which he is writing as pick that period up
bodily and bring it up to date: and the
effect is not always happy. New York:

eighth century. Owing to the Chinese
theatres in our large cities, and the ex-
ploitation of their plays in magazine and
newspaper articles, the public is more or
less familiar with this subject The act
ing edition of one short play called The
Flowery Bali lis quoted by Mr.. Giles, and
outlines OF other plays are given.
One of the most interesting chapters in
the book is that on the novel; and the
plots of several of these romances are
given. They are much more grotesque and
incomprehensi3le TO Western minds than
any of the poetry In the discussion of a
drama which belongs in the period of the
Ming dynasty there is a sententious re-
mark which will appeal to modern play
wrights. An editor of this play, admitting
weak point in the plot says that 1t has
been suggested that this should be cut
out, but that when stork's neck is too
long you can't very well remedy the defect
by taking piece out. 1t would be com
fort to the struggling dramatist if some
managers would look at things in that
light
The last chapter of the book is by no
means the least interesting. 1t deals with
writings which the Chinese do not regard
as literature-wall writings which take
the place of newspapers, proverbs, jokes,
and other colloquial literary specimens.
Some OF the proverbs are fairly good ex-
amples of the Chinese sense of humor.
Among them are these:
A thinks he knows, but knows
better
Nature is better ttan a middling doctor.
bottle-nosed man may be teetotaler, but
no will think so.
1t is easier to catch tiger than TO ask a

Ii you fear that people will know, don't do it.

Seafarers.

The traders that hail from the Clyde
And the whalers that sail from Dundee,
Put forth in their season top of the tide
To gather the grist of the sea,
To ply in the lanes of the sea.

BY shoai and deep water they go,
Guessing the course by the feel of the ground,
Or chasing the drift OF the foe.

To coasts that are drear and forlorn,

When Drake lost month of the Horn.

For the venture We bore overseas?
What of the treasure We put forth to wiring
From TIE chances of billow and breeze
In spite OF the billow and breeze?
Oh we carry the keys Of the earth,
And the password Of Empire We bearl
Wherever the beaches held promise OF worth
We Established your sovereignty there.
We planted your flag over there.
