CUTTING HIMSELF OFF.

The Blunt Way In which Chaplain
Cannon Refused a Fortune.
The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap
lain to King George w.. was a dog
gedly independent man. On one occa-
sion he refused to compliment his roy
al master ON his singing and Nfor a
time fell into disfayor. His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side of right and justice. The
biography of his friend Barham, the
author of the "Ingoldsby Legends, I"
contains, among other anecdotes of
Cannon, the story of how he disinher-
tied himself.
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin-
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole of
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
'eI don't believe it," said Cannon aft
er pause, in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
the room.
II won't believe it." persisted Can.
non, unless I see it."
Smiling at his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.
"Well," he said deliberately, "if /
had not seen it in your own hands, /
could not have believed you were such
an unnatural br11feD
Thrusting the paper between the bars
of the CRATE, he continued in a severe,
low voice: Have you no one more
nearly connected with you than I-no
one to whom your money should go,
who has a right to be provided for
first and best? Pooh! You don't
know how TO make will. III send
for lawyer, and he shall make your
will. You shall leave me a legacy.
There's no harm In that, but I'm not
going to take it all to please you.
Good day, ma'am!''

FLAGS ON TIE CAPITOL
What 1T Means When They Are Fly
ing at Half Mast.

What 1T Means When They Are Fly
ing at Half Mast.
The flying of flags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast it Is
q sure indication that vice president,
/ senator Or representative is lying dead
or that the acton is taken in response
to presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms of the
senate or house of representatives
learns of the death of a member of
either of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags over the senate
chamber or hall of representatives be
half masted. This is often done before
the houses of congress themselves are
officially notified of the death. A good
deal of discretion lis exercised in the
manner of placing the news of death
of this kind officially before the senate
OF the house. Upon such an announce
ment it is customary for the houses to
adjourn in respect to the deceased SEN
ator or representative, and in order
that the current business may not be
stopped early in the day the announce
ment Is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
Officers of the senate and house
when they fly the flags at half mast in
response to a proclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one of
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power Of the president to order con-
gress to do anything except to assem-
bic in extraordinary session. They
have always responded to the requests
Of such proclamations. 1t would be a
nice question, if one could imagine that
it could ever be raised, to know to
what extent the presidents authority
would allow him to order flags at half
mast on the capitol. While his author
ity would not extend over the en-
ployees of the senate and house, yet
the capitol itself for many years was
in fact controlled exclusively by him
so far as the care of the building is
concerned, and the superintendent of
the building is today appointed by him
without confirmatory action on the
part of the senate.
AS a matter of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct control
of the committees on appropriations of
the two houses of congress, but that
control has been accorded them by the
failure of the president to give any or
ders to the architect or more lately to
the superintendent of the capitol If
he should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed, he would
have power to dismiss him and appoint
some one else in his place without the
concurrence of either branch of con-
gress, except SO far as the appropria-
tion for the officials salary would be
involved. These are practically moot
questions, but they occasionally form
interesting subjects fol fireside talks
when flags are half mast in response
to presidential proclamations.-Wa

FATE OF HiNDoo GIRLS.
NepnuI RajpOots Cause Their DauSh


NepnuI RajpOots Cause Their DnuSh-
ters 70 Be Murdered.
A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul, writing Of
Hindoo family life, remarks that 1t is
very difficult for parents to make adj
vantageous matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindoos therefore find
means of ridding themselves of too
many daughters by numbering them.
1t is a well known fact that Hindoos
of high birth, those who are called
rajpoots, caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by men
| specially engaged to do so. This Grim
inal custom had become so general
that in 1910 in the seventy-three vii
lagos of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under twelve
| years of age, and three years later in
the town of Agra there was not one
to be found under that age All had
been put to death.
The English government has very
naturally passed severe laws against
this abominable crime, but to evade
them the Hindoos allow their girls to
live until the age of twelve, after
which they do away with them by adj
| ministering poison in. small doses.
Orientals are past masters in the art
of poisoning, and after some minute
inquiries it transpires that in many
districts twenty-five out of every hun
dred girls have been got rid of in this
manner. Those girls who have been
| spared they marry very early, gener-
ally between fourteen and fifteen
years, and that not according to their
own choice, but by the will Of their
parents, which is decisive.
An Indian family of good rank
could not keep an unmarried daugh-
ter. 1t would not only be a public
shame, but also a crime against reli-
gion. To procure husbands for those
who have not already found them
there are a number of Brahmans, old
and decrepit, called Kulin Brahmans,
who go about with the one object of
| going through the ceremony Of the
''seven steps, with as many young
girls as they can upoA receipt Of a
large sum of money, but who after
ward leave the country and perhaps
never see them again.-PaH Mall Ga

DON'T GET MORBID.
IL Es Not a DfficuIt Matter to Thin
Yourself to Death.

1t Es Not Difficult Matter to Think
Yourself to Death.
Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
AS a rule, the thought that kills re-
lates to something the individual
breads more than anything else in the
world. There is the germ of fatal
thought in ninety-nine persons in every
hundred, and the exception is only
proof against the thought disease by
having been inoculated with the lymph
of optimism or philosophy.
The idea that one has some incipient
disease in ones system, the thought of
financial ruin, that one is getting on in
life without improving prospects-any
of them or thousand similar
thoughts may. carry healthy man to
a premature grave. A melancholy
thought that fixes itself upon ones
mind needs as much ''doctoring" as
physical disease. 1t needs to be eradi-
Gated from the miIsd or it will have
just the same result as a neglected
ease sometimes cures itself after run
ming its course; so does smallpox. But
who would settle down to suffer from
smallpox and chance recovery, as thou
sands of foolish persons settle down to
let the thought disease, which has at
% ~nH a
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid notion and every nagging wor-
ry should be resisted to the utmost,
and the patient should be physicked by
cheerful thoughts, of which there is a
store in every ones possession, bright
companions cheaper than drugs and
pleasanter.
There have occurred scores of dozens
of cases where healthy persons have
thought themselves into having tumors
and cancers-cases which admit of no
doubt whatever that the diseases re
suited from constant morbid fear.
There might possibly be fewer cases
of cancer if some great doctors could
assure the world that it is not hered-
itary disease, but morbid minded per-
sons on hearing that there is cancer in
their families generally do the very
worst thing they can do under the cir
cumstances = they conceive an awful
dread that they will be afflicted with
it. They dwell upon the fear constantly,
and every trifing ailment which trou-
bles them is at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro
duces a morbid condition of body. and
If the disease does happen to be in the
system it receives every encourage
ment to develop

The more the public thinks of the
disbarment cases the more certainly
is it convinced that if there was to
be cne conviction, all of the princi-
pals in the case should have been
convicted. Was it the possession OF
money and lands or was it politics
that made the differencei Perhaps
it was both. Justice Galbraith lost
nothing in the estimation of the
public for the bold stand he took

JOINED THE DOMINANT PANTY.
How a Prominent and Strenuous
Home Ruler was Grated as a
Hepu blican.


Home Ruler was Grated as a
Republican.
Our friend Samuel X. Pua, OF Ma.
hiki, ,Waimes, Hawaii, has been in the
city for several days past, Siuce the
inception Of Territorial politics, he
cast his lot with the party of his
people. He is one OF the most active
and strenuous of Home Rulers, and q
forcible speaker. In 1900, he was
. Senatorial candidate for this ISL
and, and in 1902 for Hawaii, aud was
defeated both times. He was the
assistant clerk OF the House OF Re-
presentatives during the first Legis.
lature. In the Legislature OF 1892,
the last under the Monarchy, he
represented this Island as Repre-
sentative.
Since the last campaign, we under
stand he has been coerced into
becoming a Republican. 1t came
about in this wise: In April Of 1901,
he was licensed to practice law in
the inferior Courts, and after the
Legislature, he returned to Waimea
and there took up the profession
The term OF his license expired last
April, and prior thereto, he applied
for renewal Of the same, but he
was written to from here that he
would have to apply to the Third
Circuit Court, as he was within that
Jurisdiction. But it is known that
another prominent Home Rule ex-
legislator, who stumped for the Re-
publicans at the last campaign and
ran for Hawaii Senatorship and
was defeated, had also applied here
to the Judiciary Department for a
renewal and his request was granted,
yet in Pua's case, he received the
cold stare by being referred else
where.
After this reference, he applied to
Judge Eding's Court, and he receiv-
ed no answer till some time about
the middle OF last June. Prior to
that time, he was urged to sign the
Republican rolls. In order to have
his license renewed,an after mature
consideration, he gave way and con-
sented, and he had no sooner signed
the rolls when his, new license was
issued. Such is one Of the methods
used to graft prominent Hawaiians
into the Republican ranks,
During the last Legislature, Mr.
Pua was mentioned most favorably
and strongly for the position of
Sheriff to be stationed at Waimea.
He was urged to make application,
and after doing so, he has received
no answer to his application. Aud
Of course, he has not been appointed
yet as Sheriff of Wsimeau
