Another decline of five cents in all
grades of hogs is reported this morn
ing, the top price now paid being $3.50.
This is the only change of consequence
in the wholesale market today.
In the retail market a decided
change is shown in vegetables. This
is due to the fact that home grown veg.
etables are now being brought into the
market. The most important changes
are in new potatoes which sold last
week for sixty cents per peck, now
selling at forty cents, and lettuce now
going at 21s cents a head, which sold
| last week for s 1-3 cents

As is well known to the President
of the United States. Harold NJ Sew
all's resignation from the National
Committee, and his inability to return
to Hawaii are due solely and only to
decision of Mrs. Sewall's physicians
that she should not make her perma.
nent home here. II will also be inter
esting and instructive to the President
that the charge of another Janus
lodged against Mr.. Sewall by an official
organ of Governor Dole comes from a
source that broke faith with Mr.. Sew
all. 1t comes in fact from the only
Janus with whom Mr.. Sewall had the
misfortune to have dealings. When ii
becomes possible to make public tho
inside history of Mr.. Sewall's official
career and his candidacy for the Gov
ernorship of these Islands. the Dole
party will perhaps more fully UNDER
stand why II Is impossible for them 10
meet with tho slightest measure Of sue

high standing in national councils,

Why Grace Was Not Said.

A tiny girl of seven gave a dinner
party the other day, for which twelve
covers were laid, and that number OF
small maidens sat down to dine. II
was a real little girls dinner, and the
little hostess herself presided, sitting
at the head of the table. She had been
very anxious, in looking forward to it.
to do everything as it should be done.
Mama" she asked, shall We say
grace"
No" said mama; at will be a very
informal dinner and think you need
not do that"
That meant one ceremony the less
TO be gone through and was a relief.
But the little lady was anxious to have
all her guests understand It,. So. as
they gathered about the table, she ex-
planned:
Mama says that this is such an in

favor to the pensioners and also to the
retiring agent, E. F. Sperry.
