HOME RULt RS ARE
DESERVING PARTY

Word comes from North Hiio that
macy Home Rulers are deserving that
party and Joining with the Hawaiian
Republicans. a prominent member OF
the latter party says the Hawaiian Re
publicans will be the strong party on
this island at the fall election. most OF
the Hawaiians having become disgust
ed with the methods or the Home Rul-
ers during the last session or the leg
islature. II this rumor Is true there
should be no difficulty encountered by
the Republicans In having suitab c
representation in the next Legislature.
As 10 Congress. the Hawaiians. or at
least goodly number OF them. favor
Sam Parker for delegate. as they be-
lieve he VIII do as much for the Terri
tory as anyone else. No decision has
been reached in this matter. as they
have so far contented themselves with
merely talking IL over. The white Re-
publIcans believe that harmony with
the Hawaiians will bring good resul s.
and a conference with the leaders OF
both elements will soon be called for
the discussion of the various candidates
who have expressed n willingness to
run. IL Is generally conceded that Jim
Lewis VIII get the full support OF Ha-
waiians and foreigners. and that his
election as Representative Is practi-
caily settled. Senator Brown, though
an independent candidate at tire last
election. and under the act OF Congress
a hold over Senator. will work for the
Republican candidates. And II is be-
iieved that the selection made IN the
Republican convention will be of such
a character that there will be no neces-
sity for any independent candidates. So
far the Hawaiians have shown much
more activity than the white men,
bers OF the party. They have held
n number OF meetings and have out
lined n plan OF campaign that VIII
no doubt receive the hearty support

A GREAT MONUMENT.
The HierOglyphic Stairway Found
at Copan, Honduras.
Finest Specimen of Aboriginal Amer
lean Architecture in Existence
Its Beauty Is n Puzzle to
ArchaeOIOSists.

The remarkable hieroglyphic stair
way at Copan, in Honduras, not far
from the boundary of Guatemala, is IT,
many ways the most important and in
teresting monument of aboriginal
American architecture that has ever
been brought 20 light by the excava-
tions of the archaeologist. Ten years
ago it was practically unknown, but
since then it has been uncovered and
studied as a whole by the various CO.
pan expeditions of the Peabody mu-
scum of American archaeology and
ethnology at Harvard, under the di-
rection of George b. Gordon, whose
elaborate report on the discovery and
restoration of the stairway-just is
sued tosubscribers by the museum au-
thorities-affords much incidental in
formation concerning a memorable
prehistoric civilization that may prove
to be older than even the Assyrian or
the Egyptian-that of the ancient
Maya people which once dwelt in the
plains and valleys of Central Amer
lea.
How many hundreds-or thousands
of years old the hieroglyphic stair
way really is, even the archaeologist
hardly ventures to guess. 1t is prin-
cipal feature of the ruined acropolis
of what is known to be one of the most
ancient cities on the American con-
tinent, the annals of which, however,
were no more than a shadowy legend
even when the Spaniards came to
Mexico; and in spite of the fact that
the steps of the stairway carry, craven
in series of picture characters or
hieroglyphics, what is apparently
some kind of continuous chronology
zeal record, these "glyps" are still, for
the most part, quite undecipherable,
and the record which they contain is

well mean the opening up of chapter

At one end of the main structure of
Copan, as the acropolis of the city is
called, broad pyramid, which at one
time was crowned by some public
buiding-a temple or palace-rises to
a height of about IS feet. On the
western slope of this pyramid is the
hieroglyphic stairway, originally af
fording access from a square or plaza
below to the temple above and a sys-
tenn of terraced courts beyond. At
some time in the past, however, land
slide swept away the symmetry of
two large faces of the pyramid and
brought down the upper steps of the
great staircase in an almost indistin-
guishable mass of debris which COM

HEDGEHOG Kills n Viper,

A resident at Versailles, NJ Guignet,
sends to Nature vivid account of a
duel he saw between a hedgehog and a
viper. The two enemies knew very well
at first sight who was who, and eyed
each other as if they knew moments
inattention would be fatal. The viper
was the first to get tired of gazing and
it began to glide away. Just then the
hedgehog rushed for the viper's tail,
and having nailed it fast with his teeth,
it rolled itself up. The hedgehog was
very careful, however, not to cut the
tail off. The viper curled back, and
delivered furious assaults on it's agA
gressor, wrestling and rolling with the
curled-up hedgehog all over the place.
At length the snake, wounded in hun
dred places, died. The hedgehog be-
gan its repast on the tail of its victim,
and was careful not to eat the head.

Its no use, Dorothy, girl. It's got

rather have it done and over with"
She let him go at that, but when he
climbed to his seat in the sulky she
gave him parting word.
Remember the day, father-we
used to call it our 'forgiving day at
home. Think of the good things the
major has done for US, and try to for
give him.
When he was gone she did not know
what to do with herself. With the
burden of the dreadful secret weighing
upon her-the secret which she had not
shared with her father for fear she
should tempt him to forbear from I'M
worthy motives-she dared not face
her mother; and Toms CHEEKY whistle
warned her off from the workshop.
She went to the gate and watched her
father driving down the winding road.
He was letting the horse walk, and as
long as she could see him she fancied
that his determination was wavering
When the sulky disappeared over the
final hill she opened the gate and
walked aimlessly in the opposite d.
rection.
Her walk was a long one, and it led
her far up the slopes of the great
mountain which walls in the sheltered
valley on the west Near the cliff line
she had stumbled upon a dell thickly
starred with sweet-scented white
azaleas; and remembering in the
midst of her troubled musings her
mothers fondness for this particular
wild flower, she had filled her arms
with the fragrant blooms.
She came out of the forest at the
foot of the mountain into an open
space which appeared to be an old field
long Uncultivated. 1t was in the little
depression between the knoll and the
mountain, and the Loudon orchard ran
down to it's farther edge. She could see
the roof of the great house above the
trees in the orchard, and thinking to
save time she cut across the old field
toward the road.
In mid-passage she came upon low
curving mound, grass-grown and half
hidden in a thicket of old-feld pines.
1t was the remains of an old breast
work, and between the horns of the

was so morose that Mendes questioned
him until he confessed the reason.

daughter and she with him. The mas
ter printer had risen from the case
himself, and his present fortune and
social position did not warrant eXpec-
tation of a rich son-in-law, so that the
young printer had been confident and
serene until, having decided that there
was no use in waiting longer, he had
recently asked for the young woman's
hand.
Then he had painful surprise. The
girls father was financially embar-
raised, it appeared, and penniless
son-in-law was not to be thought of.
The favored sutton must have six thou
sand francs, at least. So the poor fell
low was in despair and talked about
drowning himself. Mendes himself
was pretty hard up in those days. He
advised the discOnsolate lover to ap-
peal to Victor Hugo for assistance.
The young printer naturally objected
that Hugo had beggars on his hands
and would not be likely to do anything
for a total stranger. But Mendes in
sisted and the printer complied.
On Mendes next visit, two weeks
later, the young man met him at the
station and showed him 5000 francs IN
bank notes which Hugo had sent him
with these words:
81 am not rich just now. Please ex-
cuse me. Here are 5000 francs"
The printer said that he would
marry his Clementine next month. AL
though her father had demanded twice
the sum he could not refuse when he
learned of Victor Hugo's part in the
affair.
So they were married. How long or
how happily they lived together Mr..
Mendes neglects to state.

meaning to take him unawares, and to
try once more to dissuade him from
his purpose. She came out opposite

pines, and gave little start of sur

said the old negro.
Then Dorothy looked over the fence
and saw a row of freshly dug post
holes. The major had evidently taken
the law into his own hands and was go
ing to make sure of the nine points of
possession.

Dorothy turned away sick at heart.
She remembered something about a
flaw in the title; that there was an
unrecorded gap in the transfers of the
farm dating back to its purchase by
some former owner many years before.
1t had been represented that the deed
had been lost in the registrars office,
and her father had so far departed
from his cautions custom as to accept
the faulty title.
And now, out of this trivial conten-
ton over a bit of land barely wide
enough to carry the boundary fence,
was to grow a monstrous injustice
which was to turn them out of house
and home! Dorothy's breath came
thick at the thought, but she was a
brave girl, and she FASTENED home to
do what she might before it should be
to late.
She found her father in the stable
putting the harness on one of the
horses. There was stern determinati lion
written in every line of the fine old face.
"Where are you going, father?" she
asked.
''To town, to swear out warrant
against Loudon for trespass," was the
curt reply. ''He has sent his man over
to move that line fence"

I'd give him the land willingly if he

''But, father, just think how kind
they've all been to us since we came
here, strangers in a strange land. Have
over and sit up night after night with
mother in that awful time two years
ago? And how the major used to come

"Please don't go to-day, father.
Won't you wait just a little while? As
it stands now the major is the ag-
gressor, and I'm sure he'll be sorry if
you'll only give him little time to
think about it,"
For a moment she thought she had
won. He paused with the bride on his
arm, grasping the horses foreIock.
Then he shook his head and slipped the
bride into place.

HUGO AS A BENEFACTOR.
How the Famous French Author Once
Helped n Poor Pressman Who
Was in Love.

Catulle Mendes, writing in the Cour-
rier des Etats Unis, tells an interesting
tale of how Hugo helped poor press
man who was in love. The following is
a condensation of the story:
During Hugo's exile Mendes was ed
itor of struggling journal which, for
reasons of economy, was printed in
small provincial city. There Mendes
became acquainted with poor press
man who was well educated. and intel
ligent and very entertaining COM
panion. Usually he was very cheerful
and light-hearted, but on one occasion
