oning the average expenses of each
family at fifty dollars a month and
they will probably be much larger, we
give a spending average of $50, 900
monthly or 100000 a year, and all this
would be spent right here. The anti
American policy of Mrs. Partington-
Beckley would cut us off from this
source of wealth. The Star has given
the figures at the very lowest notch.

The great public rejoicing" must be
heartfelt in Servia. King Peter values
himself higher than King Alexander.
1t is a case of more pay or no King.
With considerable wisdom King Peter
has remained in Geneva, where he is
moderately safe except from peripatetic
anarchists who haunt the renowned
lake city. He probably will never be
so happy again. The blood stained
palace and gardens of Belgrade will
prove somewhat of a depressing resi-
dence.

Honolulu boys are going to Kauai
to play polo, so giving the Kauai play
ers an opportunity to see what they
can do on their own grounds. Kanai
will take a lively interest in the
game and will probably increase the
number of its polo payers. These
inter-island matches are excellent
things for keeping up the spirit of the
game.
