PRINCE CUPID SAILS
FOR UNITED STATES
Hawaiis Delegate to Congress Expected to En-
terrain Largely While in Washington

Dispatches from Honolulu state that
Prince Cupid. delegate to Congress
from Hawaii. left that port on Tues
day en- route TO San Francisco. The
prince was accompanied by his wife and
secretary, Morris X. Keoahalole. and the
party is expected 20 come direct to
Washington upon their arrival in San
Francisco.
The Delegates real name is iona
kalanianaole, which is expected TO act
as a great obstacle to society leaders
who may covet the pleasure of enter
tanning the distinguished representa-
tive OF Hawaii. 1t was said, some time
ago, that the Hawaiian legislature
would be asked TO appropriate $4,000
that the prince might make his entry
into the National Capital in royal style
and maintain an establishment here in
keeping with hfs position in Hawaii
This. Of course. was not done. and
even if 1t had been there is no doubt
that President Dole would veto any
such action. The help OF the legisla-
ture is hardly needed in the case of
Prince Cupid" as he and his wife are
wealthy and fully able to maintain a
household worthy of their position and
inclinations-

If played as recess game it might

Any number Of persons may play: in

game. Each player Is furnished with

when all are seated the Judge tells

Amusing and Instructive
Game for the Young Folks

Each player Is to think of city and
must keep the name secret. Having
thought Of one that he may represent
by one or more pictures he makes his
drawing and submits 1t to the Judge. A
time limit should be fixed within which
the drawing must be finished. but this
should not be too short, for good work
Of that kind cannot be done In rush.
When the drawings have all been
finished they should be arranged so
that all the players can examine them
and guess what names they are intend.

Two prizes should be offered. one
for player who guesses more OF the
names than any other player does,
and the other for the player whose
work Is done best The Judge makes
the decision. BY agreement 1t may he

Walter T. Pierce of South Charles
ton, o., who recently received an ap-
pointment as fellow of romance Ian
guages at the Johns Hopkins uniyer-
sity. tells an amusing incident con-
corning nature studies.
\ A tree had blown down on his
fathers estate near South Charleston
and a baby owl was orphaned by the
catastrophe. The gentleman took the
bird under his care and in time it
grew to maturity residing in a neigh
boring tree and on most friendly terms
with the household
@ Not long afterward a relative asked
that her pet parrot be permitted to
remain with the family during her
own absence from home, and Polly
was duly installed. Received with all
cordially, Polly declared war at once
and met friendly advances with q
+fierceness of beak and claw that caus-
ed the most daring to retreat.
Her cage was set inside the pane OF
a window. One morning as she
swung leisurely to and fro repeating
for the millionth time the brilliant
words, Polly, good morning." the
great gray owl futtered softly down,
perched on the sill beyond the glass
and looked solemnly in upon her.
There was one blood-curdling. shrek
from the affrighted parrot, and the
next minute she lay in a dead faint
on the bottom Of the cage.
It was a meek and stricken bird
that finally returned to consciousness,
and for the remainder of her stay
she gratefully sought the friendly pro,
lection OF whoever would deign to
notice her Baltimore Sun.

Health brings wealth moro often
than wealth brings health.
Castles in the air are all right until

People who lament that they are
not appreciated seldom appreciate
others.
When a man gives health for money
he makes the poorest investment of
his life.
The man who never gets CROUCH
will enjoy what he has more than the
man who gets too much.

never did it, or anything like it.
