The use of the word chestnut" as
typlfying an old story may be traced to
Edwin A. Abbey, the celebrated artist
who is painting the picture Of the coro-
nation Of King Edward VII at the
Kings command.
Mr.. Abbey is an American, and was
born in Philadelphia and educated at
that city. Later on he Joined a prom
inent club, the members of which
prided themselves on their ability to
tell smart and witty anecdotes. The
artist was fond Of a joke, and was in
the habit Of always purposely telling
the same yarn.
It was a pointless story about man
who had a chestnut farm, and who
never made any money because he
could not resist the temptation to give
his crop away.
Mr.. Abbey always began this story
in a different way, but would gradually
lead up to 1t until his hearers would
recognize It and cry "chestnuts."
And In that way the word gradually
assumed its slang significance. and is
now used to brand a story as old wher.
ever the English language is spoken.

1t is learned that a ship subsidy
bill will again be introduced and
pushed at this congress. There seems
to have been an unwarranted opposi-
tion in the past to any OF the proposed
plans Of protection to American ship
ping What the provisions Of the
proposed bill will be is not yet known
but there can be but one opinion
among protectionists as to the sound
ness of a policy for the upbuiIding Of
our American marine through some
protective measure. At present
ninety per cent Of our great export
trade is carried in foreign ships,
aggregating an enormous freight
charge going into foreign hands. We
should send our goods abroad in our
own ships.
The Hon. Bourke Cochran and the
Hon. Charles Towne are in the midst
Of lively controversy as to which
orator carried the city for Tamnany.
Mr.. Cochran insists that 81 per cent
of the credit is due himself while Mr.
Towne is firmly possessed ofthe idea,
doubtless born of his recent Wall
Street octopi-mingling habits, that he
himself represents a controlling inter
est in this monopoly.

The FooI and the Wise Man.

me Fooi and the Wise Man,
He loved to lean upon the fence
And watch the swallows dart,
And hear the lark with Joy immense
Let song pour from its heart.
He loved to linger by the brock
And watch the bubbles play;
And browse and dream above his hook,
With trouble far away
With simply joys he was content;
He had no wish TO rule;
Men said his days we're all nisspent
And called the man a fool
Another where the crowds were great
Went scheming day by day;
He filled mems heart with fear and
hate,
And piled his gains away.
He never knew one hour Of rest,
His brow was lined with care;
II joy had e'er been in his breast
It had not fingered there.
No birds enchanted him with song
His dreams were full of sighs,
But people saw him push along
And thought that he was wise.

A recent wedding in New York city
and a brilliant reception at Mare ISL
and Navy Yard were of interest to
Honolulans, as the groom's family is
we'll known to islanders. The groom
Captain Dixon, U. S. N, and Mrs. Dix
on, formerly Stella Wood, an island
girl, who in turn was the daughter of
the late ]. II. Wood. The. bride is Miss
Lillian Maude Rogers of New York.
The reception was given at Mare ISL
and on the evening of August 6 by
Captain and Mrs. Dixon. They were
assisted in receiving by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Dixon, Miss Williams and Miss
Nalani Jones of Honolulu, who is the
guest of Captain Dixon. A feature of
the evening was the music furnished
by a quintet of young Hawaiians,
friends of Miss Jones. They were
Messrs. Heen, Kalaina, Nawahine,
Jaeger and Montgomery. Mrs. Dixon
had a corner of the reception hall
decorated with two large Hawaiian
flags, and there, beneath the silken
folds of the emblem of their native
land, the boys discoursed the music
of the islands, enchanting all present
with the melodies. Following the re-
ception the guests danced to the Ha-
waiian music, departing when the
young men arose and sang Hawaii
Ponoi." The island boys made a most
favorable impression, and the follow
ing day they were shown over the yard
by Captain Dixon. When just outside
the gate of Captain Dixon's home they
sang aloha Oe." Again, when aboard
the steamer Ell Captain, they sang the
song as a farewell to the friends NSho
had come to see them off, and then
took their departure amid the footing
of whistles. An elaborate supper was
served at the reception. Captain Nc
Gala assisted the bride in cutting the
wedding cake. and Ensign Stitt of the
Boston, who was recently attached to
the u. S. s. Iroquois under Captain
Rodman. won the thimble. The recep-
ton was attended by nearly all the
brass-bound officers from the yards
and fleet and army posts around San
Francisco and among the Hawaiian
visitors were Captain Whiting, Miss
Miss Nalani Jones, Mrs. Gift
fard, Miss Jennie Giffard, DR.. and Mrs.
Don Gedge, Mrs. Alice Brown.
