Isn't this young mans age" bust

pick up newspaper that doesn't con-
tain some allusion to the achievements
of the modern youth, while Roosevelt
and Emperor William have furnished
enough inspiration for young-man ed

forgotten history. Every age since the
dawn of civilization has been the
young mans age. 1t was so in the be-
ginning and it will always be so. Il
is the part of youth to do things. Over
century ago Charles James Fox, at

keen and able. His rival, William

the leg in a bent position and with the
foot resting on the floor or with the leg
crossed over the other. On the upper
surface Of the plate are two parallel
keepers, in which a slide is mounted,
having an upwardly projecting knob
or head. On this knob is clampcd a
socket device, which serves as Il sup
port for the shelf on which the book
rests, and by loosening the screw
which holds the clamp the shelf can be
adjusted in any desired position. To
adapt the device for the use Of per-

only necessary to slide the support
back and forth between the Keepers
until the focusing point is reached. As
the support can be made Of aluminium,
adding little to the weight of the book.

smart clerk for match. The clerk
said they sold them and didn't give
them away. The boy fumbled in his

Publications that sedulously report
the doings of society as represented by
the rich bring the cheerful tidings that
invalidism and idleness have gone out
of fashion. 1t is not good form, they
say, for a woman to be delicate or
for a man to be without occupation.
Therefore he has ceased to decorate
the club windows, and she, having
taken up some outside interest BETTING
her renewed vigor, no longer sleeps
late, but is ready to begin the business
of the day seasonably. My lady's ath-
leticism seems to be reflected in the
fashions for 1908, if it did not even
shape them. High collars, tight sleeves
and trailing street gowns have gone
out" and loose gloves and shoes are
worn. Perhaps it is because she has
learned to care for her body that the
millionaires wife has revised the fash
ion sof dinner-glving also. No modern
hostess thinks of Offering twelve or fif-
teen courses or serving six or eight
wines. Indeed, it is asserted that So
ciety continually grows more temper
ate, and in one senDe at least this is
true for the dinner~table is no longer
overloaded with silver or banked high
with flowers. Simplicity is the law,
and simplicity tends towards temper
ance. All these new fashions are in the
direction Of Improvement. SO, above all,
is the increasing tendency, noted by
society reporters. to frown upon gossip
as not being good form" Probably the
truth is that it never was, but that it
fiourished because people had nothing
to do. When society took a notion to
be busy there was no time to talk
about other peoples affairs, nor was
there inclination so to do. In some
more degenerate age society may recede
from this position. as it has receded in
the past. But although that rule of CON
duct, not to be idle and not to gossip,
may cease to be good form, it will
never be anything but good sense.

WILL TELL
HIS STORY
Wright Defense To
Begin To-
Day.
Judge De Bolt Refuses
To Direct Jury
To Acquit.
Auditor Meyers Tells of Alleged
ADM: sions Made by the
Defendant.

The prosecution closed in the case OF
B. H. Wright yesterday afternoon, and
Judge De Bolt overruled a motion tc
direct verdict for acquittal.
The defense will begin this morning
and from the inkling given in the cross
examination yesterday there will be an
attempt to prove that a shortage ex-
| listed in the Department of Public
Works prior to Wright's taking office
1t is probable, also, that the mysterious
envelope removed from the safe at the
time of Wright's arrest will be intro
duced in evidence. This envelope is
said to contain 1. o. US given by vari-
Gus prominent people and politicians,
and from a question asked by eMr.
Dunno of Manuel Cook yesterday, the
defense will claim that this money was
loaned under orders from James H.
Boyd. Boyds evidence. given Wednes-
day, did not injure Wright's case, but
if the theory outlined yesterday is fol-
lowed, there will be an attempt to COM
pei Boyd to shoulder the entire blame,
or else to fix it on former chiefs in that
office
Manuel Cook testified as to the books
yesterday morning. and he was followed
my Deputy Auditor Meyers. Meyers's
testimony consisted in a recital of the
meeting in the Public Works office on
September 8, when Wright, the High
and others were present. He said that
Wright had told him that there was
$500 or $500 in the safe. but when it was
opened he found $S3S.35. Meyers said
that he had asked Wright if that was
all, and the defendant replied yes"
He then announced that there was a
shortage in the Public Works office of
s5,252.1O.
Witness said that Dole asked the de-
PENDANT if he had cashed the Hawaiian
Electric Company's check, and he re-
piled yes" but refused to answer as
to what had become of the money.

to- said the witness. II
told him sS,541.63. had the figures on
a piece of paper to verify them and he
said that was about it, and said he
would give his check for that amount.
Mr.. Dole asked him If the check would
be cashed, and he said it would take
four days to raise that amount. Mr..
