Expressions of mingled surprise and
disappointment were plainly visible on
many faces in the crowded stand. Ter
bell, the halfback, had fumbled every
ball in the first half. He was not
playing in his usual form.
When time" was called, Ned Sum
mers rushed up to small boy stand
ing on the field. All out of breath
from playing, he gasped:
Run to Bob Terbell's room. Know
where it is? All right. Bring the pen
nant hanging on the mantel. Bring it
here as fast as you can scamper.'
AS the players took their positions
for the second half Bob Terbell, bend
ing over with his head between his
knees, glanced casually at the grand
stand.
Through the space he saw a white
lettered pennant floating in the breeze.
Without thought of the game he stood
erect, just as the signal was to be
given. On pretense Of adjusting his
noseguard, he stood for a minute
while the signal was held.
"X-Y-Z-11-3!' called the quarter
back, as Bob resumed his position.
The fight for the pigskin was on.
Bob played football as we'll in the
second half as he had played badly in
the first and all because he saw a face
behind the flying pennant.
But you played so much better in
the last half, Bob" said Lourene, as
she put little hand in the two big
ones in the deserted grandstand. Two
other thoughtful young persons were
walking in an opposite direction. "You
saved the day"
mo; you did it, replied Bob, look
ing ridiculously happy and forgetting
to release the hand he held. "You
won the game. But Tor the sight of
your face, so unlocked for, behind that
pennant, I should have fumbled
through the whole game. A part of
my anatomy was wanting"
And long time afterward, when he
had taken off his football clothes and
had regained some of his equanimity,
he said, "Do you suppose, dear, that
you could help me win the battle of
life as you did the game today You
can--but will your"
eff it is so easily won, Bob" she
said
And they began on the second half
of the game.-Dorothy Blackmore in
Boston Globe.

Not a Live American Bow.

"Wanted-A boy who never saw a
baseball game; one who does not
know the difference between third
base and a foul ball. To such an Of
fee attachment a liberal salary will
be paid.-Hudson Register" What
for? A boy answering such plans and
specifications as that would not be
worth his salt. He wouldn't be worth
the powder to blow him up. He would
be too dead to bury. He would not
have life enough to crawl off and die.
No, no-what the world wants is live
American boys, who will get to the
ball game and the scircus when they
are boys and to the front of the pro-
cession when they get to be men.

Certainly Very Thin.

A little Germantown girl went into
the house one day in a great state of
excitement, after having caught a
glimpse of remarkably thin woman
who had just moved into the neighbor-
hood, and exclaimed: ooh, mamma,
you ought to see the new lady who is
going to live in Mr.. Johnsons house,!
She's awful thin!' Thinner than /

was slender little body, weighing
not more than ninety-eight pounds.

To lounge dejectedly in his chair,
gazing pensively at the mantelplece,
had become one of Bob's daily occu-
pations. Perhaps the white letters,
WELLESLEY, standing out con-
spicuously on a pennant in the center
had fascinated him. Perhaps the mere
knowledge that she had given it to
him made Fate seem less cruel.
Be that as it may, the Wellesley
pennant held the place of honor in the
room, the spot wherein the football
players heart had hitherto stood
A long row of pretty faces reaching

Tom was rudely recalled from

whats up, Bob?" inquired Ned
Summers, entering the room in foot
ball attire. "Why are you incoming
around here? The fellows are wait
ing"
He glanced about the room for
some explanation of Bobs evident
mental disturbance.
Hang football" was the uncivil re-
Spouse.
Ned vented his feelings by whistle
Of surprise.After minute he laid a
hand on Bob's shoulder.
whats the matter, old chap?" he
asked. "Do you want those fellows to
wipe us off the face of the earth on
Saturday? One might think SO from
the way you've played this fall. I'd
suggest that you were in love, but
bello!"
His eye fell on the pennant on the
mantel. Where's her picture? Who
is it now?'
That's the question-where is it?
She didn't give me one"
Bob's detected air was SO unusual
as to cause Ned to look curiously at
him.
81 say, Bob, is your brain affected?"
he asked, half seriously.
mo; tell you, Ned, it's my heart.
I'm hard hit"
why don't you tell her?''
"Why don't you ride to the moon in
an auto?" Evidently there were rough
spots in Bobs temper.

First Test of the Air Pump.

The first public test Of the air pump
was in 1854 by it's inventor, Otto Won

metallic hemispheres, two feet in di-
ameter, to each other After exhaust
ing the air by his apparatus he at
tached fifteen horses to each hem

separate them because Of the enor-

experiment was a great success.

ter works, and which is subject to the
modification of the legislature" This,
he said. was evidently meant TO give
the legislature power to create coun-
ties. He thought the Governor was
mistaken as to the county act surren-
dering the Terrftory's title to the prop
erty; that it was simply a transfer of
control. The Governor had said it was
only of doubtful legality. and Brown
favored leaving the immense revenue
from the water works to the counties.
Senator McCandless inquired what
modification" meant; Senator Brown
replied that there was a conflict be-
tween this power and the section in
the Organic Act which provided that
the title of all property within the Ter
ritory "shan remain with the govern
Inent of the Territory of Hawaii"
Brown argued that the legislature was
the government. and that the counties
were a part of it.
Sections 4 and 5 striking out the wa
ter works and electric light plant sec
tions in the county bill were than
stricken out.
Senator Crabbe objected to the
change making the Board of Public
Institutions assume its duties January

it was the intention to have this Board
organize now so that the property could
be turned over to the counties on jan
uary 4th. The section was stricken

from $4,000 to 1920. He favored a
salary of $500 per month for Honolulu
pilots, and 5000 for Hilo and KahuIui.
McCandless and Brown both objected
to an increase. Crabbe said he favor
ed fees for pilots and reduction of port
charges.
1T would be the best government
job in the Territory" replied Brown.
Under the receipts for the past two
years the salary would be over $1,000

better than practicing law, and could
do that, too"

SALARY FOR HEALTH PRES
IDENT.
Senator Crabbe moved to insert
SALARY, President Board of Health,
$500 month"
Dickey objected that no competent
physician could be had to take the
position at that salary. Crabbe said
the president wasn't likely to be
physician, that there were FIVE laymen
on the board, and very likely lay
man would be elected president. The
item carried at $500, the president
also to be the executive officer and to
devote all his time to the work. The
title of executive officer was changed
to chief health officer. Crabbe and
Isenberg both saying it was necessary
to retain DR.. Pratt in that office. The
salary of the secretary to the Board
of Health was increased from $1,000
to $1,000; that of milk and poi in
spector, Honolulu, $3.50 to $500.
The item of s1O,140 for government
physicians was stricken out without
discussion. Instead, an item of 5000
for Board of Health agents was in
serted.
