CHINESE TO ORGANIZE A
CONFUCIUS ASSOCIATION

In japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore
and other places where the Chinese
Reformers have strength. 1t will also
be explained to the Chinese tha. the
teachings OF Confucius are well worm
their study.
Confucius was born B. G. 551, in I-u.
one of the feudal States into which
China was then divided. now u part
of the province of Shantung. Though
he did not commit his teachings to
writing. thanks to the pious care with
which his disciples recorded his sayings
and also his manner of life, hardly any
character of antiquity Is SO well Known
to moderns. He was public teache.'.
and to all who resorted to him, he
gave instruction. AS his fame spreai
his disciples increased until they num-
bered about 5000. The political squGb-
bles of the times directed his ntten-
ton to the principles of good govern
ment, and this became one = his most
frequent topics of discourse.
At the age of about fifty years he
was appointed magistrate of the -uWn
of Chung-tu, and the improvement. m
the manner of living of the inhabitants
and the government of the town led
him to higher positions until he be-
came minister of crime in Lu. The
jealousies and fears of neighboring
states were now aroused, and unworthy
means were taken to arouse enm'ty
between the Marquis of Lu and Confu-
cius. Confucius withdrew from LII,
and for thirteen years journeyed from
one state to another, everywhere be-
ing received with honor, but nowhere
finding n ruler willing to be guided by
his Counsels.
Confucius put forward no claim to
originality. He spoke of himself as
'"Transmttter and not n maker, be-
lieving in and loving the ancients." The
reverence for antiquity extended even
to it's forms and ceremonies. in the oh
servance of which, however, his evil
dent sincerity preserved him from the
appearance of Journalism. He was pre-
eminently teacher of ethics. He held
to the native goodness of human ma
ture, and his system of morals rested
on no sanctions of future rewards and
punishments. Many of his recorded
sayings are admirable, but of highest
value is his enunciation of the golden

TALLY bounG book OF poems by L. Maur.
Ice Mcmahon, who has from time to time
made metriCal contributions to the jour-
nais of the Territory The book is from
the prtsS of the Stanley Taylor Company
Of San Francisco. The book is divided
into five sections: Hawaiian and Califor-
mia poems, poems Of Love and Sentiment
and Miscellaneous and Religious poems.
1t is in the Hawaiian and Californian
poems that McMahon has done his best
work The spirit of Hawaii has epte 'ed
into him In no small degree, and some or
his work shows unmistakable evidence
Of L. lie has likewise come under the
spell Of the magic of the Golden State,
and writes of the old gray missions and
the poppy covered hills of California with
Touch that is both sympathetic ana
poetical
The miscellaneous poems are replete
with human interest, ana as such are
worth reading. The poems of love ana
sentiment are distinctly too much so,
even for the readers in Hawaii, who have
drunk deeply of the cup. Throughout
the religious poems runs a vein of un-
doubted sincerity. The best of these,
perhaps, is the last one in the book ION

often he writes so. There are times.

and about a dozen orators spoke in
favor of all Chinese learning more Of
the philosophy of Confucius. which was
at low ebb in the Hawaiian Islands.
II was stated that In China the youths
of the empire who went to school
learned the rudments of the philoso-
piers teachings, but in the Hawaiian
Islands little had been done to con-
tinue education along the lines laid
down by Confucus. At the conclusion
of the discussion it was decided that

saki knocked down the other man and
then drew an ugly looking knife which
he buried to the hilt in Kido's breast.
Death was instantaneous and Sasaki
ran away.
Chester Doyle was in the neighbor

short search Sasaki was found and
