But II Is the Hawaii of to-day that will
interest no less than the Hawaii of the dark
ages. AS education Is the keynote or the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, it is in
matters educational that the islanders will
make their principal showing. And it will
probably astonish visitors to learn from one
exhibit that the Kanaka children are the
best educated of any children in the world;
that is, in proportion to the population.
more Kanaka boys and girls read and write
and do the rule of three than in any
country on the face of the GLOBE and for
that matter any district, not excepting the
New England States.

fee that is being cultivated on the leeward

it will be explained that the lava soil with
which the islands are formed is the richest
of the earth. The rich sugar cane and the
method of crushing it will be feature.
and then there will be exhibits of fruits
and flowers. Kona-fed beef will be seen in
the cattle pens and also sheep that Craze

department except wines and metallurgy
the islanders will be represented. They will
have no exhibits of minerals. for there. dig

A NATIVE LUNCHEON.
Visitors to the Hawaiian village will be

ADVICE TO THE SHIFTLESS.
Hard Sense, IL Persisted In, VIII over-
come Hard Luck.

London Post.
A very keen politician going abroad for an
extended tour advertised for a man "a re-
lieve him OF the smaller worries OF travel
ing
He reduced the applicants to one. and was
about to complete the negotiations when the
fortunate person began 90 tell him OF his
career, his ambitions, opportunities and
misfortunes-a genuine hard-luck story. The
politician listened for a while. and then sud-
denly interposed: II find that do not want
you." and when pressed for his reason.
added: Il never hire bad-luck people. espe-
cially the kind who talk about IT,"
There seems 10 be an injustice in this. and
there doubtless is. At the same time. this
politician was a judge OF men. or he would
not have been a successful politician.
Most persons who have achieved success
are obliged to listen to bad-Iuck stories de-
spite their efforts 10 avoid them. The main
reason the modern merchant or manager
protects himself with a guard OF doorkeep-
ers and ante-rooms is 90 escape callers who
want 10 take up his time by narratives or
their misf0rtunes.
Every large center OF population has its
army OF bad-luck sufferers. and among
them are men OF education. men who are al
most. but not quite. strong enough 70 reach
success.
Their point OF view is out OF compass;
their bearings are wrong: their attitude il
that some who has succeeded must
make amends for their own SHORTCOMINGS.
These unfortunates are probably the most
hopeless persons in the wor,d-hopeless not
so much In their own ideas as In the posi-
bilties OF their reformation. When man
places his own inadequacy on ill-luck ne Is
not worth anything 10 anyo0dy-n0t ever
20 himself.
Luck is the tide, nothing more The strong
port. He rows against IL II IL flows the other
way. Fair foul. food ebb, he rows.
And the world has very little time 10 waste
on the man who complains thar the tide dlf/
not turn at every bend % suit his course

Jeffries Satisfied, His Purse is

 Bluff-Joe Cans After Langford
 Once More--Munroe and Limerick to Meet To-Night--Gardner After
 Fitzsimmons Once More.
 New York, Dec Northampton Jim Jeffries began weeks enga cement at the Dewey theater last night and received a warm welcome. It was Jeffries's first appearance here since ne whipped Jim Corbett at San Fran cisco few months ago, and there was large crowd on hand to see him Jetfries made his first entrance in the Durlesque which closes the show. He appeared as Jack Worthington, while his sparrfng partner, Joe Kennedy of California, took the part of Spike Hennessy. a we'll known local sport with pugilistic aspirations. Heunessy tries to win the affections of Wor- thington's sweetheart, but his ad- vances are heroically checked by the champion, who, after d challenge, ex- changes knocks with Hennessy for three rounds.
 Jeffries appeared to be in fine trim and was as lively as ever. He had good foil in Kennedy, who is a husky young fellow, capable of withstanding some fierce blows. And last night the boilernaaker swatted him some and made the mock contest look so real that some of the sports i'll the theatre thought they were gazing on the genu- inc article. Jeffries was called upon for speech, but modestly retired The champion said afterward in his dress ing room that he was ready to meet anybody in the world except negro. Regarding the prospect of another con test with Jim Corbett at St Louis, Jeffries declared:
 T am satisfied as long as they can show me 9 good purse. But I think that that story from St Louis was only josh and that the town will not stand for mill, especially in which championship is involved.

 Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 15--To be able for half an hour to do the work of a half horsepower engine and yet at the same time to have what appears to be a most insignih hcant physical de- velopnnent is the unique claim to dis tintion of Arthur o. Christensen, of Harvard. who last week broke all ex- isting strength records at the Crimson isting strength records at the Crimson university by lifting in half an hour a total Of 3S4,O25.S foot-pounds.
 Christensen is a slight, immature looking young fellow. who stands five feet nine inches in height and weighs barely one hundred and fifty pounds. His muscles are long, ratffer than bulky or knotted. and there is nothing particularly cordy ill hiss appearance His chest, shoulder, waist and abdonr inal development is, apparently, far be- low the average: his breast muscles are not in the least conspicuous and his arms are slight.
 Yet Dr Sargent. who is undoubtedly the best physical authority in the coun- try, pronounces him the most perfect type Of athete that he has yet found a type which he has been looking for in vain for many years,

 New York. Dec 15.--Last night saw the opening of the annual indoor foot ball season, and 2,000 football enthusi- asts cheered a9d cheered in Madison Square Garden as the players strug- gled over an indoor gridiron for su- prenaaey. Two games were played In the first the Olympic Athleaic club eleven lined up against the hnlcker- booker A. c. team, and after the rough est kind of football the Olympics won by to 0. The teams have been rival claimants for the championship of Greater New York for two years. and much bad feeling was evident. Bob Owens and Hughes played too strongly for their rivals. and to them Is due the credit of the Olwnpics' victory. The first half was twenty minutes and the second half twelve.
 The second game was between the Watertown A. 4. eleven and the Oreas of Asbury Park. A number of college players were in both teams. and some clever work was done, Watertown winning by ; +osO.
 Tn efficient officials somewhat marred the games. and violations Of the rules were frequent. In the Olympic Knick- erbocker game slusging was 1conspicu- ous at all times. Tn the last game sev- eral plays were allowed which were oo- solete and long. since abolished. .

The referee may also be decided on this evening. 1t has not yet been decided where the match will take place and that point may be settled this evening. The Brooklyn Athletic club or the Wash ington Hill Athletic club would do well to make a bid on this match and pull 1t off either in their club rooms or in some small hall in this city. The match is for blood and incidentally for $50 a side. which may be made $100 a side before the final arrange naer1ts are made. New Haven wants the match and Derby may make bid for it, A match like this one kept in the city would be a good drawing card.
