DR.. James Sully, the eminent Washington
psychologist. claims to have proved by long OBJ
servation and series of mechanical expert
ments that society's ban against hearty laugh
ter as bad form" is producing a mirthless and
sour-visaged race. People in the smart set, "
says DR.. Sully, do not laugh as their forefathers
did. because they think that to do SO would be
quite vulgar.

One of Germantown's landmarks is about to
fall at the hands of Father Time. 1t is a large
silver fir tree. which tradition says was planted
by George Washington upon the grounds at
Upsala, at Cleveden and Germantown avenues.
The old tree is rapidly falling into decay, and
the present tenants of the place contemplate
having it chopped down to remove dangerous
menace to passerS- by.

HONOLULANS AREI
COMING TAHITI

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-The
oceanic Steamship Company's liner
Mariposa arrived yesterday from Ia
hiti on schedule time and as usual
looking like a well kept yacht. Among
her passengers were a number of Ho-
nolulu people who went from the ISL
ands to Tahiti and are making the re-
turn trip by way of San Francisco.
They speak in glowing terms OF the
climate of Tahiti and accustomed to
tropical delights as their residence in
the Hawaiian group has made them,
they found much that was new and
delightful on the other tropical isle.
OF their stay at Papeete, of the days
spent exploring Tahiti and of the
smokeless, sootless trip to the main
land on the well appointed Mariposa,
they talk of as something new and
worth while in the outing line. j.
Sumner was in charge of the Honolulu
party.

wharf awaiting orders from New York
as to her future movements. Like the
Nevadan, the Nebraskan was built
specially for the trade between here
and Hawaii, and upon arrival from
New York a year ago was supplied
with an oil burning plant. 1t is be-
lieved that she will be placed on the
San Francisco and New York route.

DIVER SOUGHT
SACK OF COIN

Diver Terrill returned on the Mauna
Lot from Punaluu where he made an
effort, without success, to locate a bag
of coin which had been accidentally
dropped overheard near the anchorage.
The money was lost on a former trip
of the Mauna Loa, and the diver went
out on the vessels last run. He
searched all over the rocky rugged
floor in the places indicated by the
ships officers, but found no trace of
the bag.
He came across an old, rust encrust-
ed anchor, however, and this was
brought up. 1t had lain there for about
a dozen years.

1902, one was opened in Frankfort, anu
on Oct. /. 1902, one in Hamburg. To-
day another will be opened in Berlin,
making two in that city and four IN
the empire.
The three stores now open have been
doing large and increasing business.

overdrawn and unreal This referring
more to the life the woman led, a long,

the life of the farmers wife and daugh-

Mr.. Garland drew Largely upon his i'm

writer was one who INDUCED in such
belief. altho he has been told that Car
