FUTILE EFFORT TO DOWN"
TEDDY.

After the rehearsal the gallant young
men of Yokohama swarmed about the
half dozen women of the company and
helped speed their time until Inner.
Meanwhile, there was made by his adj
mirers a determined effort TO entertain
Frawley SO delightfully."- that Hamlet
would be played without the Dane. In
Secret Service" Frawley is the whole
show. How hospitable and what fun
1t would be to get the star so pleased
with other things that he would forget
his part, or even his engagement, and
perhaps even his name. The scheme
failed. FrawIey simply refused to lift
the seventh beaker. "Eocomobile,'
Thompson, who has the fercest horse
less carriage in Japan, and who had
led the generous campaign against
Frawley's capacity and will. confessed
the conspirators were beaten, and the
wagers laid were paid. It had been n
to ten Frawley wouldn't appear at all,
n to five he would forget his lines
and business, and a quart to a case
that he would be left behind when the
Korea sailed. Thompson took Miss
Van Buren,, Frawley, Amory and two
other actors to the tea houses. They
drank the delicious brews of four or
five chayas, heard the fantastic music
of the samisens, and by permission and
at the suggestion of Mary, the men
fondled and kissed the odalisques
whose bizarre beauty, salaams and
marvellous raiment were fetching in
deed to the Rialtans. The Public Hall
was filled. More people were in it than
ever before. The English did not
grasp the true inwardness of Secret
Service" the subtle Yankee and Dixie
dialect was strange to them, but the
melodramatic scenes We're understood
and enjoyed, and the acting of Fraw-
ley, Mary, Amory, Elizabeth Stewart
and others brought a faint applause
from the Boer haters, and a vigorous
clapping from the Americans present.
After paying the piper Manager Fraw-
ley had $500 in his treasury.
There was a gay party after the per-
Torrance, in the bungalow of a rich
bachelor. 1t had been intended to have
a discussion of good things without the
frou-frou of feminine silks, but Fraw-
ley said no. Where he went Mary
went. 1t was the little lamb tale re-.
versed. So the stories were cut out,
sweets took the place of caviar, and
Mary bossed the time" A few less
bottles were emptied than were iced,
some songs were unsung, and as early
as 3 o'clock the last bumper was pro-
duced. Mary vas not a damper on
their spirits but the spirits were just
a little fewer than they might have
been, lacking the odor of violets and
the silvery tinkle of Mary's laughter.

residence of w. R. Hoare, His Britain
mic Majesty's representative in the Ha-
waiian Islands. From eleven o'clock
in the forenoon until one in the after
noon the house was thronged with the
faithful subjects of Edward VII. who
were heartily greeted in his name. Dur

eminent Band.
Consul Hoare in the black uniform
of his rank with its trimmings Of silver

the guests in the reception hall, greet

A numerous gathering of Englishmen.
Scots, Irish. Canadians and Colonials
In the office was always the occasion
for the clinking of glasses and healths
quaffed to His Britannia Majesty.
There was a sentiment prevailing
among the visitors that His Majesty
had much to be thankful for thus far
in his reign, and his subjects much
more.
Among the visitors were the various
consular representatives, the first being
Dr.. Alvarez, the Spanish consul, and
following him were Goo Kim, the acting
Chinese consul; A. Vizzavona, French
consul; Senior Canavarro, Portuguese
consul; Mr.. Hackfeld, German consul;
representatives of the Federal and Ter
ritorial governments and army and
navy officers.
The presence of the government band
did much for the gayety of the occasion
and the guests were delighted with the
rendition of Rule Britannia" and
Scotch and English melodies. High
Sheriff Brown sent a guard of honor of
police officers. From a flagstaff in the
lawn fioated a handsome English
ensign. All faithful subjects DOTTED
their hats to it as they entered the
premises or passed in the shadow of it's
folds.

A STUBBORN COLD OR


BRONCHITIS
yields more readily to SCOTS
Emulsion of cod-liver oil than
to anything that you can take
and if persistently used a few
days, will break up the cold.
When you awake in the
night choked up and cough
ing hard, take a dose of the
Emulsion, and you will get
immediate relief, where nc
cough medicine will give you
relief. It has a soothing and
healing effect upon the throat
and bronchial tubes.
Most people understand
SCOTS Emulsion is a great
body builder-but it is equally
good to allay inflammation
and cure colds and violent
coughing.

Coarse Food.

Many modern improvements are
found, after test, to be no improve
ment. Flour making was revolution
ICED by the introduction of the "roller
process" whereby the grain is crushed
to an impalpable powder between
polished steel rollers, instead OF
ground between millstones. But it is
beginning to appear that this great i'm
provement is not without its draw
backs. Ground -four is gra 1ulated, and
under the microscope the flour grains
are readily seen, whereas the fine roll
Ter -four now commonly on the market
is simply dust The old-fashioned
coarse bread, made from stone-ground
-four, required mastication and there
was a chance for the saliva to act on
the starch: but the fine bread Of today
is hurriedly swallowed and the starcn
is not properly converted.

MEETING AN ANACONDA.
Experience of a New York Lawyer IN

counter with an anaconda, which ne

Il was riding ahead OF my party
along narrow road in the Amazon
valley. My mount was a large white
mule, whose only ambition in lie
seemed to be to bite and kill every
one he ENCOUNTERED. / do not know
but what he was more dangerous
quadruped than any of the wild
animals in the Matteo crosse. On
either side of the road rose the forest.
The branches of the trees met here
and there overhead, so that the
thorougfare looked more like a
verdant tunnel than country road.
Suddenly my mule stopped, dropped
his ears and turned his head about
Thinking that this was evidence of a
desire on his part to bite my leg, l
was about to whip him when l
noticed that he was shivering all over
as in an ague.
Il looked up and down the road,
and then | shivered. Not more than
sixty feet away huge snake, half
coiled around a bough which pro
jected over the road, lay swinging and
looking at me with glare that was
not at all assuring. ! had left my
rifle behind on a baggage mule and
had nothing w. which to fight save
a hunting knife | drew this prompt-
ly from the scabbard and with the
courage worthy of better cause
used its as spur upon my luckless
steed. which turned and galloped for
dear lie in the opposite direction.
Il reached my party, got the rifle
and with my men galloped back to
secure the constructor. The reptile
and | must have had the same brand
of bravery. He had dropped from the
bough and vanished in the recosses
