chopping wood on the side Of a gulch
was accidentally killed by falling on
a ledge of rocks down the side of the

| Today, the wide tire law is to go
into effect in Honolulu, and there may
be some effort to enforce it on the
other islands.
The law is, however, entirely too
sweeping, and in most respects it
should be allowed to remain dead let
! ter until the legislature has time to
meet and repeal its most obnoxious
features. In large cities where heavy
loads are hauled, a wide tire and axles
of different length tend to protect the
| streets, but for country roads, the wide
tire is of no particular benefit, and the
change to wide tires on Maui would
at the present time be an intolerable
nuisance and expense Senator Bald

He had planned that Hal should go
abroad, travel, study, write and dc
the things that interested him, and in
time perhaps marry some girl whc
should be his intellectual equal and
his social superfor-though Josiah'dit
not put it to himself in exactly that
way.
But Hal loved Amanda Gray, his
quondam schoolmate and playmate,
and wanted to marry her. Amanda
was poor; her mother ran boarding
house for Josiah's mill hands; but Hal
loved her. He knew the strength and
sweetness of her unselfish nature, and
he had refused to carry out his fathers
wishes unless Amanda could share in
the advantage Josiah had planned fol
him. And when his father had refused
his consent, Hal had astonished thai
local and domestic autocrat by de
manding the few thousand dollars held
in trust for him from his mother, and
had gone to the city and invested it in
business.
It was the old story of the man with
capital and the man with experience
over again. In six months his little
patrimony was gone and Josiah had
been forced to pay out heavily to gave
the family credit. But the old MAJ
loved his son, though in his own way.
and he renewed his former offer to set
tie handsome sum on the boy if he
would give up Mandy. He gave him
two days in which to make up his
mind.
Hal laughed his father to scorn
and swore he would marry Mandy
anyhow. She'll marry me no mat
ter how poor am" he declared.
But Mandy would not listen to
him. She loved him too well and she
knew him too-she had known moth
ing else all her life-but she feared
it for him. She knew that he could
never succeed by his own efforts, she
doubted her own ability to help him,
and refused to stand in the way of
his future. Then to clirch the mat
tor she wrote the short aots to 10.

my Dear Mr.. Marcy:
Hal has told me how things stand be-
tween you and him, and I write to tell you
that will never marry him so long as your
opposition continues. 1 absolutely refuse to
stand in his way. I want to assure you
that nothing he can say will alter my de-
termination. This decision is final. So
there is no reason why you should consid-
er me in planning for him or in carrying
out any of your intentions regarding him.
You are at liberty to show him this letter.
yours truly,
AMANDA GRAY"
"Wa'al, son, wat be We a-goin' ter do
naow?" asked Josiah Marcy, when Hal
had finished reading Mandy's note,

would be less than man if accepted
what you offer me at such COST
Don't be a fool, boy" Josiah pro-
tested.
mo; nor I won't be a poltroon
either" declared Hal. Tomorrow I
shall go away and try to disappoint
you by showing you and Mandy, too,
that somewhere and somehow L am
capable of earning my own living, and
when I have shown that 1 can earn
enough for two I shall come back for
her"
In the light of his previous expert
ence Hallett Marcy was laying out a
rather large contract for himself in
making this declaration. In fact his
demonstrated lack of business ability
was responsible for the present situa-
ton. Yet in other respects he was far
from a failure. He had fine charac-
ter, an affectionate nature and hand
some presence. He had stood high al
college. He had refined tastes But
he was entirely deficient in those prac-
tical commercial qualities that had
enabled his father to develop from a
common laborer to a wealthy mill
owner.
Josiah was ambitious to realize in
his son the culture and social priv
leges that fortune had denied to him.

A Cows Resurrection.

Near Coffeyville straw stack heav-
lily laden with snow fell over on a COW
that was feeding from it. The farm
er who owned the COW thought she
had been killed and so he made no eff
fort to dig her out. But 21 days later
he detected a movement in the stack
and forked the straw away with the
result of finding the COW very much
alive with a newborn calf by her side.
On getting her liberty the COW ran
bawling to the creek for water, but
she was lassoed before she got there
and was then given warm water in
very small quantities. In a few days
she was as well as ever.-Kansas City

WHEN TED's AWAY.

When Teddy has gone for a visit
Such a change as comes over the house!
There's not from one day to another
Enough racket to startle mouse
The cook is no longer molested.
The puppies are never at strife,
Grandpa's midday nap Is unbroken,
And the cat has some peace of her life.
There is no one to ask endless questions
And no one to race through the hall,
There is never a whoop or a whistle
And never a door banged at all:
No coaxing to tell us a story
And never lesson to say
oh, the house is delightfully."- quiet
And peaceful when Ted is awayI
But then there is no boyish laughter
To make even burdens seem light,
And no little tired lad to cuddIe
On a motherly shoulder at night;
And no one to whisper at bed time,
With shy, tight hug and kiss,
That In all the wide world he is certain
There isn't a mother like his.
There is no one to run on an errand
And no one with secrets to tell,
There Is no one to find Grandpa glasses
And hunt for his slippers a well;
And somehow or other we're feeling
That an hour seems as long as a day
Oh, the house is so dreadfuIly quiet
And lonesome when Ted is away.
