Kissing the Babies.

Election time is comm round,
And candidates are mincin'
They're stirrin' up the barrel
Fer arguments oonvincln'
Some think they've got winnin'crop
By plsDtin' little seedlets
OF specious talk consaruin' how
They'll work for public nesdle;s.
But I'm convinced the man who gets
The ballots OF the nations
Is he who ssdulous devotes
Hisself to oscerlation!
You must buss 'em, and must muss
'em, and must toss 'em in the air;
You must smile upon their dear
mammas and must seek 'em
everywhere;
In your election deestrick, If you
wish no point to miss,
Just gather up the dirty kids in one
tumulchus kiss!
There is ten mouths named Ka-
uhsne and seven O'Donohue;
The Epheum Whites, FIVE coral buds
in mugs of ebop hue;
Herr Blitzsu, he will trot out some
thing like ."Drei oop" OF kinder,
too;
Aud "Maccaroni Mike" with joyous
pride will show up twenty-five.
There'll be babies OF all sizes-from
Niihau to Punaluu;
And on their mugs be many things
from ground soil up to glue.
But shut your eyes and kiss 'em all
il you are out for votes;
Kiss children, dogs aud kittens, and
shudder not at shoate,
For the man who does most kissin'
end does it with grin
Is the gent who in November will
fad that he is ill.,

TOPICS or THE RAY,

Several times in the Republican
primary campaign John G Lane
eide stepped from his followers and
rubbed noses with w @ Achi in a
corner. That was the principal
cause OF the defeat OF the young,
political Napoleon, aud he got it
precisely where it belonged.

II the ST Louis exposition officials
and the central government have not
the courtesy and decency to allow
Hawaii suitable place 10 wkich to
make her exhibit, the Islands should
decline altogether TO take any part
10 the affair. II has been known
by President Fraocis and his assis
tants for some months that the Ha-
waiian Legislature appropriated
only $4,000 for the exhibit Of this
Territory. There was ample time
aud opportunity to arrange for the
display in one OF the Government
buildings. But, nc; States with
votes in the Electoral College next
year desired space, 10 Hawaii was
crowded out, The only dignified
and respectable course for the Ter
ritory to pursue ia to demand space,
and ii it is not given to withdraw
from the affair altogether.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

II the members OF the
Republican Convention had lain
awake of nights for month
on thes proposition they pro-
badly could not have picked out
worse ticket than the one completed
in the meeting in Progress hall last
evening. In the ranks OF the Home
Rulers aud Democrats the ticket
seems to be regarded as kind OF
joke or half acre for the full swing
OF a cartoon artist. With the Re-
publicaue, however, the matter
seems to be taken more seriously, as
the reality of the thing emerges
from the clouds. How and why it
was done, however, seems still to be
mystery, even among the more
faithful, aud their opinions find ex.
preston chiefly 10 dumb, lateral
motions OF the head.
Swallow that ticket9 Why, I'd
rather swallow a box OF rot poison"
averred one leader OF the e, o, p,
And this sentiment seems to be
general. The objections, however,
are not the same, which should be
encouraging in that it indicates
some support to every name on the
ticket. Some object to one name or
one class on the ticket while others
are to be founed to fill the gap. AS
a rule, however, there is no general
endorsement OF the list, each Re-
publican seeming to pick out few
OF his friends, only to discard the re-
mainder Gs no good.

On The night of November s, Cap
tain Willing said, Fitzpatrick and
two others of the crew attempted to

Fitzpatrick and his companion, who
was colored man.

PROFIT

The matter Of feed Is d
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the childreni
Are they fed according to
science, bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food If there is anemia!
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate

good many women are buying tan

dear. After years of immense popular :

AS the summer progresses more and
more shiny shoes with dull tops Will
be SEEN 1t is predicted that this is go
ing to be a dominant style in footwear
during the fall. White canvas oxfords
will be seen on many well shod foot.
A novelty in footwear is 'gout
shoe for men, These shoes open clear
to the tip of the toe and open wide, SO
that the foot can be laid on the soft
inner sole and laced as loosely as de-
sired. There are no seams, no lining
in the shoe, nothing to bind or rub.
The soles are light and the leather is
soft and flexible.
