Years ago. when good King Kala-

Mir. Henry Heyman, the San Francisco
musician. went TO HCrolulu. MIR Hey

and h. kn'ghtad him-so II was Sir
Henry Hcyman who came back 10 Us

who went away

years one day, rot long ago. another
musician, who also writes went to a
noted pami-t Of this town, and refus-

/ who her client was, she determined
/ that she must perfect herself on the

/ that end in view she invited Mr. Josef
Hoffman,, the pianist, to submit his
| hand for reading.
He went, accompanied by Sir Henry
Heyman, and the pamist made n close
| and careful study of Mr.. Hofmann's
hand, then laughingly announced that

THEODORE WORES RETURNING.
A letter from Samoa announces the
early homecoming of Theodore Wores,
the artist, who has b zen working hard
for months on south sea subjects. He
spent much of his time on the Island
of Savii, one of the Samoan group,
which is practically unexploIed and
: where the inhabitants still keep up
their tribal customs. Oddly enough,
Marie Wells and Marie Oge, whose
pictures he delighted to paint, sail to-
day for Tahiti Miss Oge will return
ON the next steamer but Miss Wells
and her mother will continue their
trip to Samoa and New Zealand.

1 advise all young women who are
contemplating matrimony with South
Sea Islanders, Whole or half caste, to
"ead Louis Becke's tales of the tropic
seas. If they are ca pable of drawing
conclusions therelrom they may be
saved many unpleasant repinings after
the fatal knot is tied. Marriages with
half-castes are quite the thing since
Porto Rice, Hawaii and the Philippines
were added to our possessions. Gener-
ally these marriages have the white
blood in the bridegroom's side and in
that ease it is only the offspring that
suffer for the mixture of races. A
short time ego an Oregon man, Albert
Brace, married one OF the prettiest of
the Filipino bellies, Consuela Palma,
the heiIess CT Judge Jose Palma. in his
time a famed justice of Manila. This
marriage promises to be one of the
happy ones for it was a decided love
