top. I was more pleased than can pos sibly express. No deal I was ever In was so interesting to me.
 ''I suppose the old neighbors would say that I played four-hand tricks when was boy, and I know that the poor boys of Chicago without a good sturdy home and its influences and the fresh air play the same tricks and get into trouble be- cause they do so.
 Ut isn't fair that some youngsters can do certain things and only get lhrashed by their parents, while other boys who do the same thing, or things that are not any worse are arrested and disgraced for life in their own eyes by being sent to a reform school. The rural home won't be a place where boys are reformed It won't be for correction, but for prevention of evil.
 "The boy who is born and reared in the 1 city always labors under a disadvantage. in my opinion He has been cheated out of some the most pleasursble things in | life. Who ever heard of city boy setting a bell' or soaring folks with a jack-o- lantern or building big bonfires on the night before Fourth? Maybe good many city fellows would turn up their noses at such sport, but that's because they've never tried lem.
 'I remember once I was In crowd that had started out with thk determination to
 set the bell in a particular meeting house, the sexton of which had long been terror to the boys. He carried a big club, and whenever he caught lad act ing suspiciously in the neighborhood of the church he would give him what we used to call a 'dog-gone good lambasting.' We drew lots to see who would undertake the perilous feat of climbing into the bel fry. To actually set the bell the service of two boys are required. I was one of | the two chosen; the other boys were to | keep watch.
 "The sexton slept in the church and we l had to be pretty cautious. The way we
 opened the window and crept noiselessly | through the big cold room would have l done credit to burglar. Nothing went wrong until we reached the belfry. We
 had muffled the clapper of the bell with my neckscarf Then, we swung the great l bell up over its support and steadied 1t | so that it stood balanced on its head, as | it were. Then when the sexton on the
 next Sunday would pull the rope gently
 to begin the tolling the bell would tumble | over and startle the farmers for miles around with its wild changing. It would | sound more like a fire alarm or riot call l than an announcement that church ser l vices were about to begin. Incidentally
 it would yank the sexton off his feet and
 pull him up in air a couple of yards. | Caught by the Sexton.
 Well. we had the bell all set. We had | just taken the muffler off the clapper
 when suddenly my foot slipped on the
 ladder on which was working, and I fell
 against the bell The big thing tumbled
 over with a terrible din and swung madly
 back and forth. It's a wonder the noise | in that belfry did not break the drums
 in our ears as we clambered down into l the church.

with Is stick. The other boys got away. I didn't. The sexton hammered me until he was tired, and then threatened to turn me over to the constable. If he had been a city man, hardened In the struggles for existence, he probably would have done so, and I would have been disgraced for life in my own eyes As 1t was he sent me home, and in spite of my soreness 1 felt he had done me a great favor. No, I did not tell him who the other boy was who got away.
 If some of these little fellows here in Chicago could have taste of life in the country 1t would do them no end of good. I know, you see because I tasted the sweets of 1t myself The Rural Home and School for Boys will give 1t to them"
 John Farson as Boy Tramp.
 John Farson found 1t difficult to trace the motive that prompted his donation
 Tt must have been my affection for all youngsters" he said. My own youth Is not so far behind me that I can forget how many temptations boy has to face or how frequently his exurberant spirits or mischievous acts are mistaken by his elders for something more serious. The boy who has been guilty of a wild prank is frequently 0 good boy at heart. If he is taken at once, however, to the John Worthy school, he Is placed in associa- tion with boys who are really vicious, and he soon learns their ways and becomes vicious himself. The average boy is in partnership with his environment; he drinks up the chief characteristic of his surroundings as sponge does water. Give him a healthful, natural environ ment, and the boy who is not vicious at heart will turn out to be a law-abidng, self-respecting citizen.
 My own boyhood, in Champaign, Tl, was filled to the brim with nature. I had plenty of room in which to get rid of my superf1uous energy, and though I was up to all sorts of tricks, for which I was punished by my parents, I was not looked upon as scapegrace by anybody. I was not locked up with other bad boys or robbed of my confidence in myself. was given "a chance to run with the ball. as the fellows say in Rugby. and that's what these city lads need.
 'I remember the experience that con- vinced me early in life that the people who make the greatest pretense of being good are frequently nc. the ones who are willing to do the most for others. I dressed up in the oldest clothes that I could find around the house, none of which fitted me, put on an old hat that come down over my ears. and rubbed dirt on my face and hands. When I was finished my own mother would not have known me. Then started out to play I was a tramp went from house to house begging for a 'hand-out' or for assist ance.

Jealous Japanese Tried To Kill His
Inamorita.

The Japanese working on the Wal
alua Plantation seem to be quite a
jealous lot. Last night another cut
ting affray occurred on the plantation,
in which a Japanese woman was the
victim. News of the affair was receiv-
ed by the police today.
1t appears that one of the Japanese
laborers has been admiring the wife
of a countryman. Whether she re-
turned this admiration or not is not
certain. In any event they quarreled for

evening he visited the house while the
husband was absent. The woman was
outside of the place washing some
clothes. The lover called her inside the
house and as soon as she appeared, he
attacked her with a cane knife. He
made a savage slash at her throat.
She threw her chin down and the blade
cut that portion of her face, but miss
ed the throat. Her assailant was plac-
ed under arrest. DR.. II. Wood attend

OF THE
LEGISLATURE

The legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii has the same powers as
state legislature on the Mainland ac-
Cording to the contentious Of Attorney
General Dole this morning, in the hear
ing OF the income tax case before Unit
ed States Judge Estee. This is the suit
which Col. Fitch brought in behalf Of
abut fifty LEGAL firms and individuals,
to declare the income tax law uncon-
stitutional and restrain Tax Collector
Pratt from collecting the tax this
yea.
Attorney General Dole also contended
that the decision of the Hawaiian Su-
preme court sus tanning the act, should
govern the federal court. He said that
the Congress had given HaWaiis Su
preme court the rank Of a state court,
and that it was the rule that federal
courts should follow the state courts
in such matters unless their decisions
We're very plainly against the law. The
attorney generals contention as to the
legislature of Hawaii ranking as a
state legislature was in reply to the
plea that it had not the power to pass
such a law as the income tax law of
1901.

The platform is being discussed by

ity be adopted by the convention Of
course the convention will elaborate
on the things touched on by Mr.. Ter

QUIET REIGNS NOW WHERE
FIGHTING OCCURRED

Cape Haytien, July Considerable
street fighting was engaged in here
yesterday by the participants of the
two candidates for the presidency.
Mr. Firman, formerly minister from
this country to Paris, who is a candi-
date for president, was opposed by
General Alexis Nord. the minister of
war of the provisional government and
his friends
The fighting for a time was fierce,
and apparently of character that
would do a great deal of damage.
The fignting ceased late yesterday
afternoon and it was discovered that
little damage was done, even by tne
bombardment.
Today peace seems to be well restor-
ed and conservative residents believe
that there will be little or none of it in
future.
The campaign has been bitter one
and finally resulted in the opening of
hostilities by street fighting yesterday.
