"Auntie says that pretty babies grow

But the smile was host upon Bertie.
He stood for a moment in meditative

contemplation of baby's features to
those of the nurse, he said with child

Nurse, you must have been a very

In the old days when Frank r..

ated Marcus Aurelius of his own In
the person of an imaginary Office boy.
Every week he would fill a column or
two with grotesque account of the
doings and sayings of his fictitious

turned. Our actual office boy, youth
of unusual seriousness, requested him
to stop the Marcus Aurelius humor.

at me about it, and it hurts" answered
the Office boy.
II am sorry" said Mr.. Stockton.
"You are good, honest and faithful
office boy. had no thought of hurting
your feelings, and ! shall write no more
about Marcus Aurelius."
Here was an indication of the rare
character OF the man. Els respect for
the feelings Of others was profound.
His tenderness toward them was a
most lovable characteristic of the man.
1t ran through all his conduct. He new

NOT SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The Name Formerly Applied to the
Hawaiian Group Il Now
Seldom Used.

The preamble of a resolution adopt
ed by the chamber of commerce the
other day advocated the establishment
of "cable communication between the
United States and the Philippines by
way of the Sandwich islands" This
designation Of the Hawaiian island
was probably mere force of old habit
or "slip of the pen" The name Sand
wich islands is not properly applied to-
day to our territory of Hawaii. Geog-
raphers and map makers all over the
world have discontinued the use of the
former name, says the New York Sun.
The Hawaiian islands were called
the Sandwich islands by the famous
Capt. Cook, when he discovered them,
in honor of a British nobleman who
was one of the most conspicuous pro-
moters of geographical discovery in
his day. At the time the islands were
named in his honor Lord Sandwich was
lord of the admiralty. 1t was under
his administration that Capt. Cook en-
riched geography with so many splen-
did and important discoveries. The
naming of the islands for Lord Sand.
wich was referred to at the time as "a
tribute justly due to the noble person
for the liberal support these voyages
have derived from his power"
For many years the islands were
known as the Sandwich islands. When,
however, the natives became some
what advanced in civilization they be
gan to protest against the abolition Of
the name which they and their fore
fathers had known for many genera
tions. They never used the name
which Capt. Cook gave them. They
called their country the Kingdom Of
Hawaii In all their relations with
other countries, in all their official pa
pers, the name Sandwich never ap-
peared When King Kalakaua visited
this country he was occasionally spok-
en- OF as "the king of the Sandwich is
lands.' He never failed to correct.
most politely, the person who named
him In this manner. The only refer
ence to his little kingdom that ever
seemed to distress him was when it
was called the Sandwich islands
Many missionaries and merchants
sympathized with the desire Of the ma
tives to preserve their ancient name
For years past it has been regarded
as improper for an explorer to attach
a new name 10 any geographical OBJ
ject having q distinct native name.
The Britishthemselves have been great
sticklers for the retention of native
names except when some conspicuous
object was named after members Of
the royal family. But the fact that the
retention Of native names is generally
advocated helped to bring about the
disuse of the name that Capt Cook
gave to the Hawaiian group.
All the best aliases now give the na-
tive name TO the group. The "Inter-
nationalGeography." the latest impor-
tant geography published in Great
Britain, speaks of the Hawaiian IS
lands as formerly known as the Sand
wich isiands.n
OF course the islands can never be
called the Sandwich Islands in our
country, for this would be contrary to
the present usage in all lands and to
our own official designation Of the new
TERRITORY Of Hawaii"
