NICKELS ARE DESPISED.
Street Vendors who Sell Nothing Lsss

There are many stories in this city
where nickel is not a welcome me-
dium of exchange, because nothing so
cheap is sold, but it is hard to believe
that there is street stand which
would not welcome five-cent pur-
chase. II any one is curious in this re-

There is far more in the oft-repeated
statement that old buttons if useful
for no other purpose may serve as an
Offering to the Lord. 1t Is recorded as
a fact that olergyman's wife was

friendly chat 1t was not long before
the visitors eye was attracted by a
large basket more than half filled with
buttons The lady could not help re-

gan to turn them over and suddenly
exclaimed: Here are two buttons ex-

the clergyman's wife. Il am surprised
to hear It, AS all these buttons were

Before she had, finished speaking the
visitor hastily arose and said she must

Cheap Meals In London.

Speaking of cheap restaurant5,'
said gentleman who has Just return
ed from a visit to London, to a Wash
ington Star writer, reminds me OF a
dining saloon in the Whitechapel dis
trict of London. where a relishing and
fairly substantial meal may be had for
half penny. or one cent in our money.
This cheap-repast is not served up in
the shape Of a cut from joint and two
vegetables. 1t Is big brown pie, very
juicy and very. hot. The absence Of
beefsteak is evident when you cut the
pie, but you find inside a. liberal
sprinkling of Sleeps liver, onions and
turnips, and a plentiful supply OF
gravy For a half penny extra two
slices of bread and cup of tea are
supplied. Between the hours of twelve
and two the poor and hungry from all
parts of the east side of the city flock
to the dining room. Most Of the pat
rons are shoeblacks, penny toy men.

Just then the door opened and two
of Ruby's little friends camo in to ask
her to go across to the meadow to
gather violets. Ruby's mamma gave
her permission and soon they were
off with their little baskets to the field

they neared the house Susie said

seemed to reproach her, she thought OF
what her mamma had told her, and of
her teacher. Suddenly she sat down
her basket and sped OFF to the little
cabin. Here | am, Aunt Chloe; let
me thread all your needles, just as
many as you want" And Ruby took
the needle from the trembling old hand
and soon handed 1t back ready for

THE INJUNCTION.

From the Chicago Record having Sc
cured an injunction restraining the po-
lice from interfering with his gambl-
ing business, the proprietor of the
Gilded Front decided to go home and
rest and be away from the reporters.
He had hardly entered the house be-
fore his wife complained that the hired
girl was going to leave.
"Oh, ho, she is, is she?" the saloon
and gambling house keeper answered;
well, wen see about that. I'm not in
politics for nothing"
Then he rushed out, and in half an
hour returned with a big envelope,
from which he took a legal document,
saying:
There, just go and read that to her.
That's an injunction issued by judge
who is a friend OF mine to keep her
from leaving here as long as we think
We want her around"

wife said, that troubles me. The ice

access to the injunction mill. I'll just

All boys have knives in thei.
pockets, but some OF them are so dull
that they are not of much use either
to their owners or to their owners /,
neighbors. A boy without a knife rs
| know from experience, is very mis-
cradle and in a poor way to get all
the enjoyment out of life. OF course,
girls do not use knives so much as
boys do, but they frequently have to
borrow OF their brothers or their
friends when. they want TO sharpen
pencils or cut their jumping ropes or =,
gather pussy willows. Do not think
would urge selfshness upon readers,
but persons who borrow knives are
often very careless with them, losing
them or keeping them much longer
than they need. What | want to tell
you Is the very simple thing of how
to keep a pocket knife sharp. With
little trouble and patience knife
can be sharpened and kept in good
order, but it is surprising how few
boys know how to do this. In the first

tion will not take out the temper" of
the steel, Hold the blade firmly SO
that the stone will grind from the top
of the blade nearly to the edge. When
the grinding is done the sides of tho
blade should curve in. The blade may
then be said to hollow ground" If
the stone is allowed to grind to the
edge the blade will become too thin
and will mick" easily. Now place the
blade in fiat position on milestone
and grind with circular motion
Treat both sides in this way till
slight fringe appears on the edge. II
the knife does not grind it can be
''whet up in the same way, with the
exception of bearing little more
strongly near the cutting edge when

or fine oil may be used on the stone,
which will remove the fine fringe on
the edge and will polish the blade.

the Advertiser has said and still in
sists that the failure Of fusion With the
Home Rulers Is the best thing that
could happen to the Democratic party
IF the Democrats should help Wilcox
to win, the Home Rule party would
stand pat for years and the Hawaiian
Democracy would amount to nothing.
But if they help defeat Wilcox, the in
evitable result will be to break up the
Home Rule party and divide its MEM
bers between the American parties. In
picking up recruits the Democracy
would have some special advantages
over any other organization.
On the whole the Democratic position

mains to be seen whether the leaders

THE COMMISSION GETTING NEXT

The Commission had a chance at VIII
8cox yesterday and must have got IN
str,,ction from it. The Hawaiian Del
egate made a most pitiable appearance
and this despite the efforts of Hum
phreys to prompt him and to put an
swers into his mouth. 1t must have
seemed incomprehensible to the three
Commissioners that a sane man,
Delegate in Congress, and sworn wit
ness. should deliberately accuse the Ha-
waiian Board of Health of inoculating
the Hawaiian people with leprosy so as
to get rid of them. Yet this Is what
wilcox told the, Senators, with the air
of a man who was uttering gospel
truth
BIT it served to give the Commission
a glimpse of the kind of political intel
ligence and honesty with which the peo-
pie charged with LIBERALIZATION OF Ha-
wall have to contend. Two years ago
we had Legislature full of Wilcoxes-
men who were quite as irresponsible
and nendacious as he. The Commits
sioners would be astonished, even after
hearing and seeing Wilcox, to look at
their record There We're no end of scan
dals. no end of intriguing, and in the at
tempt to get franchise for the Tram
WAYS people there was distanct flavor
of corruption; and with it all went a
geyser stream of accusation against the
Dole government which was as false as
WiIcox's testimony about the Board OF
Health and the lepers, and which utter
Iy wasted the Legislative time.
The Commission is having it's eyes
opened rapidly to the actual state of
things here and this despite Hum
phreys efforts to conceal and misinter-
pref them. The friends of good gov
eminent have hard work indeed keep
public affairs reasonably decent; for
between Home Rule Incompetence and
worse. and the knavery OF carpet-bag-
gers with a. past and with hope of a
safer future, every kind of obstacle
has been raised. Wilcox and Hum
phreys are types; we hope the Commits
sion will not leave until it thoroughly
understands them both.
