A LITTLE THING TO Do
But It Was the Kind That Tests a
Mans Breeding.

There are some lovely men IN the
world, even if they are scarce
1t was pretty girl who thus philo-
sophically mingled optimism and pes
simism in her view of the less assuring
half of humanity. She proceeded to IL
lustrate her position as follows to the
New York Times:
THE other day had to go downtown
by myself. I am not so very used to
going downtown. and there is a prepon-
derance of masculinity down there that
always scares me a little. This time
went on the elevated and got off at Rec
tor street. 1t was about 10 in the morn
ing. and the train and station were
black with men.
There was not a woman. a sister wo-
man, to be seen when the lace of my
skirt caught in something just as I was
leaving the car. and with loud. tri-
umphant z-zip-p ripped off to the ex-
tent of about two yards. There was all
this white stuff hanging, and I had to
get rid of it some way. stepped to one
side and began trying to tear the lace
across, but it was as strong as the sew
ing had proved weak: not q thread of
it would give. Every one of the stream
of men passing turned his head to look
ct me struggle, and could feel my face
crimson with exertion and. modification.
THAT kind of a situation has hash
eesh effect, and, though 1t seemed like
hours, i suppose it was only q minute,
till q gentleman, busily talking to a
companion, passed close to me, and,
hardly turning his eyes my way, held
out an opened pocket knife; then he
walked on very slowly and apparently
absorbed in conversation. It was the
work of a, second to sever the lace, roll
it up in my bag, and return him his
knife.
MY gratitude was too deep to express
itself in what the plays call the
smooth, hollow phrases of society I
am not sure that opened my lips, but
am sure that looked things unutter-
able.
He took the knife with Just the
slightest bow, and. touching his hat, re-
turned to his muttons with his friend.
1T was a little thing. you may say,
but it was just the kind of little thing
that tests mans breeding exquisitely."

A Teacher From Honolulu Is
Visiting Wichita.
She Teaches Children Until Up
in Sixth Grade.
ARE BRIGHT PUPILS.
Pleased With American Customs
and the Language.
Work Faithfully at Farming
and Are Not at All Lazy.

Wichita, Dec. 19-AIiss Eugenia Thorn
as. a teacher in the Hawaiian schools,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. John T.
Washington, of the West side. Miss
Thomas has the primary grades in the
Ka-me-h a-me-ha school, near Honolulu.
She teaches the young children up to the
sixth grade. She has been in the work
a number of years. and says that the
young Hawaiian is very apt pupil. As
a class they are exceptionally bright
and show a Willingness to learn Ameri-
can methods, customs and language.
The parents fully realize the pOssibfli-
ties of American language and customs,
and they desire their children to learn
as much as possible of the WAYS and
manner of living in this country. This
attitude of the people of the islands has
been manifested for many years. but
not with so much vigor as since the an
neXation of the islands. The natives
like the Americans. Miss Thomas says
The foreigners have done great good
and the natives appreciate it.
Miss Thomas has Travelled a great
deal in the islands. and has with her
many curiOs from different places she
grand, the climate delightful, and there
is so much to see that it is a very good
place to live in. In fact, she declares
that she would rather live in the Ha
waiian islands than in Kansas.
Although under tropical influences, in
the midst of an abundance of fruit to
eat, the natives have thrown off their
old customs and cultivate the fertile
lands. They have been taught by
Americans how to farm. They are not
a lazy people, Miss Thomas says, as is
evidenced by their desire to learn and
also their Willingness to work in the
fields.
There are many rich people, natives
and number of wealthy Americans,
who have their summer homes in the
islands The natives have some magni-
fcent houses and there are many social
functions that would equal if not sur
pass many in the great houses of this
country. The decorations are natural
and the abundance of wild flowers make
1t possible for an artistic person to pro-
duce some original and beautiful effects

teaches is for boys only. She is now on

CHRISTMAS CARDS.
Development of the Pretty Modern
Souvenirs of the HOLIDAYS.

The Christmas card of today. like
every other triumph of human intelli-
gence has been a slow and gradual de-
velocment.
Its origin may be dated back to the
school pieces or Christmas pieces
which were popular from the beginning
to the middle of the present century.
These were sheets of writing paper,
sometimes surrounded with those hid
eous and elaborate pen fiOurishes form
ing birds, scrolls, etc, for which writing
masters still have an unnatural and in
applicable attachment, and sometimes
headed with copperplate engravings,
either plain or colored. School boys az
the approach of the holidays were ac-
customed to use them for carefully
written letters, demonstrating the prog
ress they had made in composition and
handwriting.
The Christmas card proper had its
tentative origin in 1876. The first
Christmas card ever published was is
sued in that year by London publisher
named Joseph Crandall, who was in
debted for the idea to Sir Henry Cole
and who employed the then famous D.
c. Horsley. r. A, to make the design

About one thousand copies were sold.
Such were the small beginnings of u
now gigantic trade
Every Christmas after that cards or
the same sort We're put upon the
market. But it was not until 1862 thai
they came into general favor. Then
experiments were made by the firm of
Goodan e Son with cards of the size
of an ordinary carte de visite, inscribed
simply with the words. "A Merry
Christmas" and "A Happy New Year"
in illuminated form. Next year some
bright genius conceived the idea of
adding robins and holly branches. en-
bossed figures and lansca pes.
With every succeeding year the holt
day cards grew in public favor until

FLOAT DOWN THE RIVER.
Company of Leavenworth Citizens to,
Visit ST. Louis


Visit st. Louis.
Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 19.-This city
is going to be represented at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition to be held IN St. Louis
in 1904, and the representatives viii not only
have a good time while there, but enjoy
the trip to st. Louis as well.
A company is now forming which Is
called the GOOsetoWn Exposition club The
membership of this club will be limited TO
about Is. and the dues will be 20 cents a
week until May 1, 1904
This sum the promoters claim will build
first class housebCat large enough to
comfortably house and furnish transport
tation for the members, and also two row
boats, which will be used Oh side trips
into the tributary streams after game and
fish.
Arrived at st. Louis the boat will serve
as hotel for the members during their
stay at the exposition, thus escaping eX-
cess1ve hotel bills, besides having all the
comforts of home
When they get ready TO return home
they will dispose of the boat for what
ever they get and the sum realized is
thought by Andy Herrig one of the
promoters, to reach a sum large enough
to cover all the incidental expenses incur
red on the trip.
The plans are laid out on a good finan-
cial foundation, as a clause specifies that
should a member desire to withdraw from
the GOOsetOwn exposition club for any rea-
son before May l, he do 50, but at a
loss of about Is per cent paid in.
