An eStoem0Q contemporary
facetiously criticises the old set
tiers who have done we'll in the
homes Of their own making, and
then getting tired, sell out for
less than their possessions are
worth, and so somewhere else.
The old place perhaps gets q little
monoto nous. and is suggestive Of
hard labor. In an experience Of
twenty years in North Dakota,
we have seen a good many men
do this very thing. They have
gone back east. or perhaps they
have 1one further yvest. g some;
cases they have made moves that
were aeoidedly adsant s0os,
both from 8 business, social and
health stand point. But thesecases
NE are inclined to believe, have
been the exception rather than
the rule. Scores Of these settlers
who have left Us, write back and
say they still long for North Da-
kotA. Our rfacetious contemporary
to which we have referred makes

The choir of the A. M. E. Zion

not very large, but the program
was very fine one. a solo was

the walters were all present. Mr..

was inexpressible; that that gift
surpassed all others which he had
received from his men, for 10

first to realize the power Of the ballot
in the hands of the natives and she
worked her power for all it was worth.
EX-Delegate Wilcox was a nonentity
before the princess took hold of him.
He did lead a revolution or two before
annexation, but he ended up inglor-
lously hidden away in a gas tank.
Mrs. Wilcox wanted the power and
social standing which she could not have
blood was not recognized in those days,
and she planned sweet revenge. This
brought Wilcox into the race for con-
gress. The ex-delegate is not an am

he can. Theresa (for every one calls her
Theresa in Honolulu, although she OBJ
jects to the familiar term) objected. She
wanted to be the wife of the congress-
man-the first lady of the island.

trol where he was compelled to drop
them. The legislature was in session and
the. princess, was the guiding genius of
that misguided body. Henry E. Cooper
Is her particular friend. He wants to
be governor and Theresa is his principal
ally among the natives. She got through
the legislature resolution asking him
to remain in Office. something which no
native legislature ever did before for a
white man. Princess Wilcox has not the
slightest hesitation in pitting herself
against the eloquent orators of her party.
When it comes to argument she always
manages to get ahead some way. Some
people say it was because the men were
afraid of her bitter tongue, for Princess
Wilcox has a reputation of a larger vo-
cabulary than anyone else in the Islands.
At least Theresa did use some unpro-
nOuncable words when she was turned
down by the home rule party-her marty
last week. Some of the natives say she is
not of royal blood and that she had bet
ter be at home attending to her children.
But Mrs. Wilcox goes serenely on her way
and does as she pleases. The men say
her day of political leadership has ended,
but the. princess contradicts them and
claims she still intends to do politics for
the benefit of all her people,

He was tickled as boy with his first

there is no man alive who ever told
the truth about the size and weight of
fish he had caught.
And if this demon had such an aW-
full effect upon men, seasoned by time
and experience, how much deeper
would be it's malign influence upon a
young and impassioned mind, open like
sensitive plant to every impression?

friend to descend from his pedestal Of
perfection and stretch that fish out
from ten to twenty inches in length.
"Then came the terrible reaction.
When he realized that he had joined
the great army of fish liars his grief
was awful. Ananias, in his estimation,
was an angel Of light in comparison
with him, and his pillow was wet with
tears of his remorse."
"Ah, 'tis a fearful thing when evil

PRINCESS is BOSS
Wife of Wilcox Leads Ha-
waiian Home Rulers.


HONOLULU, Oct. 31.-The power of
Hawaii's political boss is waning.
Princess Theresa Wilcox failed to car
ry the home rule convention and she
has bolted the ticket. For Hawaii's
political boss is a woman and also a
princess Of the blood royal. That is
to say, she is a princess. and no one
who has felt the sting of her tongue
dares to say her nay.
Princess Theresa is the most promi-
nent character before the public to-
day. But for that matter, she has al
ways been prominent since the mon
archy was overthrown. For when
Queen Lilioukalani ruled the islands
Mrs. Wilcox did not count for much
in the political life of the country. 1t
was only after the American form of
government was instituted that she
first came into power. She was the

run for the other cars.
But thinking these same cars would
patiently await his return the epgi-
neer had reckoned very much without
his host. They did no such thing.
They waited for awhile after being
left, and then decided to go on toward
Graves and save the engineer the
trouble of returning for them. This
they did-very decidedly.
AS a result the two strings of cars
met. There was a crash, small.sized
smashup, and a goodly amount of mer-
chancise in transit was scattered,
until removed, in the vicinity of the
mixup.
