Nan's Success.

The doctrine of perfection-that is,
that perfection can be attained-had as
many adherents as opponents a few
years ago. That man should be able

ever been deemed a mans duty and

struggles on, success must inevitably

The Stars recent remarks concerning
secret land deals are repeated with in
terest in the following portion of an
Advertiser interview with Hon. Jared
Smith, of the federal agricultural sta
ton:
Let me emphasize the matter of
publicity. Lands for sale should be
made known here and on the mainland,
and the people given a chance to buy.
From what l hear there are too many
secret and dummy transfers. The
amount of skulduggery l hear of in my
travels about the islands would amaze
YOU"
The current reports Mr.. Smith des-
cribes are undoubtedly responsible to a
large extent for the Mitchell commits
sions views, regarding our public
lands. AS the Advertiser says:
IAN the Advertiser asks is a trial of
the recognized American method of
getting settlers and of building COM
monwealths, The Territorial method
is failure. How much of a failure it
is, how many things have been done in
secret which would not bear publicity,
how far land has been disposed of to
dummies and to natives who do not
pretend to comply with the conditions,
is another story which we may feel
called upon to tell. 1t is enough to say
that the Territory will lose control of
public lands unless it develops them
in the traditional American way
What that way is the Advertiser has
had frequent occasion to point out"

An Old Hunters Advice.

Here is the advice an old hunter
gives to those who may come in I'M
expected contact with bad animals:
If you ,are cornered by a snake
stand m%otionless and he will never
bite. .-.,
IF a vicious dog attacks you show
him a knife or some similar instru-
ment, and he will keep. out of reach.
a dog al never learn the deadliness
Of a revolver or a gun. but unless he
has the rabies he knows how to re-
spect a knife.
IF q swarm of wild bees attacks you
stand motionless and let out all your
breath. Then only a few of the swarm
will. sting"
This advice should be reversed at
sea. a. man who is swimming in shark
infested waters is safe as long as he
kicks about and makes Il great deal Of
noise. The shark is too timid to az
proach anything that looks us if it
meant to fight. .
"What would you do in ease YOU
were cornered by Il cinnamon bear?"
some one asked the old hunter.
"Say my prayers" he answered la
cOnically.

to recommend them. for they have no
favor and are so tough that it takes a.
pretty sharp knife to make any impress
sion on them. Still there are people
who manage to eat them after they
have been stewed sufficiently long. In
other parts of our country we have a
better grade. approaching nearly to
your American oyster, but hardly it's
equal. In fact, after my acquaintance
with the Chesapeake bay products I

matter Of sea food the United States
leads all nations, an assertion that will
be backed up by any man Of wide
