Kuhio and Wilcox

1t is difficult for any sensible man to
point out one single good reason why
Prince Kuhio should not be elected
instead of Wilcox. So far as the work
in Congress is concerned, there is no
question but what Prince Kuhio, elect
ed as a Republican, can have practi-
ally whatever he asks in reason from
his Republican brothers in the house.
Wilcox could not, and cannot do that.
Prince Cupid represents the young and
fast increasing class of intelligent and
wealthy Hawaiians, while Wilcox rep
resents dead ideas-and himself. From
no matter what point of view one looks
at it the election of Prince Kuhio to
Congress is so all important that the
election of Wilcox, calmly considered,
appears simply as huge burlesque. II
a subsidy is to be secured for the ex-
queen, Prince Kuhio, relative of Il =
queen and wealthy Hawaiian in his
own right, is the man to send. If ap-
propriatiOns are to be secured, Prince
Kuhio, backed by his Republican pres
tige, can secure them. Two years ago,
the election of Wilcox could have been
construed to mean something, but I'M
der present conditions it would simply
be piece of pitiable folly.-Maui

DRESSING UP FOR SUICIDE.
An Jnvariabie Rule, Says Policeman
With Women Seeking Death.
New YORK SUM

1t I should ever be called upon to
furnish indisputable proof Of the IN
herent pride Of woman" said police
sergeant, i would point at once to her
invariable rule Of dressing up in her
best clothes when she goes out to COM
nit suicide. In my experience on the
force l have had occasion to handle
good many suicides and afterward in
vestigate their personal affairs, and. IN
every instance | have found that the
poor unfortunates prepared themselves
for death by donning their best bib and
tucker.
''The majority Of the printed reports
OF suicides say that the clothes of the
dead woman were good or well made
or elegant If the woman contemplate
ing suicide owns silk waist she wears
it, Her broadcloth skirt and petticoat
naturally go with this garment, and she
selects her best shoes.
II have looked up the history of many
Of these respectfully clad suicides and
have found that they owned but one
gown with which they could make a
decent appearance on the street, and
that that one good dress was chosen,
J without exception as the appropriate
garb in which to make the exit from
this worlds stage. 1t makes no diff
ference what manner of death is chosen
| the costume is carefully selected.
| Let a woman sleep her life away
under the inuences Of drugs or burn her
SOU! out with acids or sink into the
slime Of the river, She clothes herseli
in her most becoming garments anc
seeks the end with apparent tranquil.
llity Her instinct of gentiIity and eie.
gance in clothes is with her to the last
and even in the face of death She
shrinl1s from a public appearance il
unbecoming raiment.

ATTACKED BY A DEER.
Oklahoma Banker Has Narrow Est
cape From Severe Injury.

NdpC
Capt. George NJ. Elerick, president
of the Bank of Oklahoma City, which
was recently organized, had a mar
low escape from being probably IIlled
by a deer Thursday evening. He Lad
driven from this city to the home Of
his sons, sixteen miles northeast Of
here, and after putting up his horse in
the stable, started for the house Of a
neighbor While walking along he
noticed a deer with bell iingling
from its neck was following him. A
little further on he turned around just
in time to see the deer, which was a
large buck, on his hind feet ready to
charge him. The animal struck him
on the cheek and shoulder, knocking
him down and then jumping on him.
Capt Elerick caught hold of the collar
of the animal and one forefoot and
held It until his son, George, came to
his rescue and shot the animal. While
the captain is in his 73d year, he Is
.spry and nervy and which likely saved
his life.-OklRhoma Times-Journal.
