When a gentleman is escorting
Il lady ON the street it is always
good form to walk on which ever
side of her is nearest The curb,
thus affording protection against
possible accidents from vehicles,
etc. On every other occasion he
would offer his right arm to the
lady whom he is escortiug. This
is direct reversal OF the custom
Of colonial days, when q man gave
his left arm to the lady, leaving
his right arm free to protect her
should such need arise.

AN UNTOLD TALE.

The story of the might have
beens of literature, if it could be
written, would be as fascinating as
any of the things that have been.
1t would tell us, for instance, Of
that Kipling book which the world
has never seen. 1t was to have fol-
lowed the "Plain Tales From the
Hills" and was a collection of short
stories, bound together under the
title of "Forty-fve Mornings" It
was accepted, set up in type, printed
and made ready for binding when a
well known novelist read it. "Its as
good as plain Tales" was his YER
dict, and Mr. Kipling's brief reply
was CAS- good will not do. Ii must
be better or it won't be published"
And from that day to this We
have never been told what happen-
ed in those 45 mornings. The type
was distributed. The printed cop
les of the book were destroyed. and
only Mr. Kiplag krows what he
cameof the manuscript Exchange.

NATIVES TURN REPUBLICAN.
Hawaiian Home Rule Party Win Anil.
ate With National Republican
Party.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
HONOLULU. April 10. via San Fran
cisco. April 26.-The proposal which
Delegate Wilcox brought back from
Washington that he native home rule
party become Republican has aroused
great political activity and is being
very much discussed in political cir
cles. 1t is stated that the plan was
proposal to Wilcox by Senator Cullom
and that the president showed interest
in the conversion Of the natives Of
Hawaii 10 Republicanlsm.
The result OF the proposal and its
endorsement by a majority Of the native
party leaders is that both the parties
affected are more or less split over 1t.
The Republican party has for some
time been divided into the elements
known as missionary and anu-mission-
AIRY and it is with the latter or anti
administration Republicans that the
home rulers may combine locally. AT
present they have taken action which
they think unites them with the Ia
tional Republican party but not with
the party organization in Hawaii.
The opposition Of the ex-queen 20
between the natives and the old Re
publican leaders. whom she regards as
her enemies and who were annexation
leaders is said TO have had a powerful
effect in causing the home rulers 10
carefully turn Republican in such 4
wav tha; they would no; be committed
TO support Of the presen, Republican
organization in Hawaii In the steps
they have taken so far the natives have
refused to drop their name Of indepen-
ent home rulers and have only added
Republican to that name.
A complete turn down Of all the nom
nations sent 20 the Legislature by Gov
ernor Dole is threatened. The indepen-
dents have been holding caucuses on the
subject and hey would like 10 turn
down all the men .he governor named
and who are now holders Of the Offices
for which the executive renominates
them. The home rulers have a list
Of their own Of men whom they would
like to see in office. Under the or
ganic act the governor may leave the
Offices untitled till the legislature ad-
iourns and then appoint his own
choices.
Delegate Wilcox has come out in op-
position TO the idea Of trying to turn
down the appointments He has ad-
vised the other party leaders not to
take such action but many Of them re-
iect his advice.

NEW YORK, April PA dispatch to
the Tribune from London rays:
The ministry has decided to make the
export duty on coal a party question.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach was unexpect-
edly firm in dealing with an inhuen-
tial deputatlon Of coal owners and ship
pers, agreeing 10 consider the expe-
diency Of exempting existing contracts

persistent and the ministry Is clearly
determined to stand or fall on the coal
duty.
While the agitation against the reviv-
al Of export duties continues unabated.
there are signs that the coal owners
and exporters will come to an under
standing by which the tax can be
shared. The government is helped by
dispatches from America stating that
the duty does not offer a sufficient mar
sin for enlarging the export Of coal
from the United States.
