for Yurrup. AS Harold sized up the
Carayansary he swelled with Satlsfac-
ton and said, Little would any one
Suspect that we have been out Of the
Hazel Brush less than 3 Months"
Now that he was beyond the Range OF
the unlettered Reub, he began to do
little Landscape Gardening on the Front
lspiece, laying out a very neat Set OF
Depews. He wese Gloves even at Night
and worked 1or"Hours trying to get
side-hold on the Piccadlly Accent.
The Joyful Jimpsons cut a H-foot Cash
right through the centre of the Conti-
nent. They saw everything mentioned
in the Red Book and finally struck Paris
with a loud metallic Sound. There they
settled down to remain forever, in the
Shade of the sheltering Absinthe Frappe
with the Grisettes singing in the Trees.
But w. Harold had inherited a few
| restless Microbes from the parental
Hustler After he had set all the pic
lures from every Angle and had Worn
out two or three Chairs sitting around
Cafes, he began to long fer the Nasal
Iwang and something to do. The whole
kit and Tribe moved back to the States.
He learned that the Proper Caper for
one who is out of Work and all clogged
up with Funds is to build q Cottage over
looking the Sea and work up Features
for the Sunday Papers. Accordingly he
Threw UP a SNACK with onyx FOUNDATIONS
and Florida Water piped into every Room

cursionists rode in from as far away as
Swanzey to look at it and wait for the
Real Things to come out and pile into the
Eluc Assassin and go out hunting Baby
Carriages.
After the keen Pleasure of being point
ed out had somewhat dulled and the Homi-
eide Wagon had palled on them and Polo
was a Bore and Ping-Pong a Misdemeanor
and Golf a Crime, poor Harold and Leo
nora found themselves up against it,

ia Prince but even these Gaieties petered

either have to mingle with her Children

a handsome notice in the latest number
of the Four-rTaok News, which is an
attractive little illustrated magazine Of
travel and recreation, published monthly
by the passenger department of the New

The article was written by Bessie r.

The first paragraph is most compliment
tary to Our people.
There rests over the Southland an all
pervading charm; an atmosphere of chiv-
airy and dignity. What she has is Of the
best, and all is freely offered. 1t is she
who has given us many of the most beau
tiful women, the bravest men and the
stateliest homes. Among the latter is

timely matters of the month from fall

Of the hunting season. Among the su-

of ideal camps where Americans seek
tllirty-pounders in Canadian woods; The
Essentials Of Pea ch-Growing' treats or
the methods of growing tine fruit; and
Touring in a carriage is a, story of a
trip from Illinois to Boston. Other i'm
portant features include 'Biltmore, an
elaborate presentation Of George w. Van

country seat comprising a small city and
community of varied agricultural inter-
ests; and The Irish Terrier in America

work and deserves credit for putting
up game and hard play.
While the scores We're against Kauai
and Hawaii, there We're play points
where the enthusiasm was unbounded
for the young men who gave such OPP
position to the older teams. Too much
Iraise cannot be given to the men of
the Kauai team, for they put up as
been wished by the heartiest well wish
er of the sport. Trained among them
selves, playing with two on a side and
consequently comparatively unused to
the !ine-up which makes the game of
four, they outplayed the Maui experts
during the first half of the game, being
erring stick work on the part of the
Valley Isle men.
For spectacular features the second
game must outrank the first. There has
never before been seen such polo play
Ell on local field, and such a collection
of fine horses has not been made in the
history of the game. The Oahu and
Hawaii teams mounted entirely on ma
tive ponies. presented no such line-ups
of horses as those of Maui and Kauai
fours, and the play was faster and bet
ter in many ways, because of the su
perior quality of the horse flesh
The cracks of Frank Baldwin's stable
were easily the equine stars of the day.
Foxy Grandpa and Tom Thumb played
with vigor and spirit which was re-
markable, each in turn carrying the

RubIee Prophesies
Prosperity in
| Trade:
VAST FLEET TO
TRADE WITH ORIENT
Consul General Here on Way
From hongkong TO New
Post in Cubs.

'In ten years time the American
trade with the Orient will be enor-
nous l believe that before 1912 we will
see a tremendous upward movement
in commerce on the Pacific America
will supply China with nearly all her
foreign products, and the millions OF
people of America will absorb nearly
all the silk fine art work, and other
products of the Orient. OF course,
your town here will enjoy some of the
benefits of this great trade" said the
Hon. William A. Rublee, United States
consul general at Hongkong, who was
a passenger on the o. and o. liner
Doric, which arrived here from the
Orient yesterday.
Consul-General Rublee comes back
from the Orient after but a year and
half's stay in the Chinese city, where
the late Rounsevelle Wildman was so
well known as the Yankee Consul"
With his wife and young son he is
now on mis- way to Havana, Cuba,
where he is to exchange places with
Consul General Bragg, who will soon
go out to Hongkong.
Consul Rublee speaks slowly, weigh
ing his words we'll His manner Is re-
served and his utterances careful, 50
that the stranger who accosted him
one day out at Yokohama with 'Its
fine day, but it's a rather bad one,
must have hastily judged the consul
when he declared him dull after hear
ing him say: 81 think you are right
but think you are wrong" The CON
sui was simply trying to follow the
I'm Rome do as Rome does rule OF
using a similar mixed statement to that
used by the stranger. 1t was simply one
of Rublees jokes. He is man of
pleasing personality, being a tall ath-
letic-looking man of about IL years OF
age. He speaks English, French, Ger
man and Chinese, has had eight years
of newspaper training as an editorial
writer, and is a graduate of Harvard,
so that with his experiences as consul
general, first at Prague under Presi-
dent Harrison, and recently at Hong
kong he is capable of handling Amer
ican matters well in Cuba.
Have you any special idea concern
ing your work in Cuba?"
NO" replied the consul, except that
of doing the regular consular work"
What do you think of China?"
"Well, China, to the outside world,
appears to be jogging along at the
same old pace at which she has been
going for years, but 1 can tell you that
this is not the case. China is undergo
ing tremendous changes every day. The
resources of the country are being rap
idly developed by Europeans and by
Chinese who have secured their educa
ton in America American merchants
are securing an enormous trade in the
Orient and if the yearly increases are
as great as they have been during the
past two years America will have a
trade there in few years that can
only be described as gigantic"
