A FEAT OF MEMoRY.-Some light Is
thrown on the possibilities Of memory
culture by an interesting recital con-
tained in the autobiography Of Robert
Houdin, the famous conjurer. He
taught his son to glance at, say, shop
window and to memorize accurately, as
in q brain picture, the windows con-
tents. Then he would ask him to de-
scribe the contents, checking and cor
recting him as he went on. On one oc-
casion Houdin was commanded to the
Tuileries to give performance before
the French court. AS he passed
through an anteroom to the saloon he
bade his son note the arrangement OF
the room and the contents Of the book
cases. Then at the close Of the enter
tainment Houdin astonished his au-
dience by giving what he called
second sight" test. Declaring his un-
familiarity with the Tuileries, Houdin,
blindfolding his son, asked him to send
his gaze through the wall Of the room
to the chamber beyond, to describe the
ARRANGEMENT of the chamber and, to
read the titles Of the, volumes on the
shelves of the bookcases. This feat the
Young lad accomplished, to the aston
ishment of the court.

DEADL1EsT OF RIFLEs.-The essential
tests Of the new army rifle, said to be
the deadliest small arm in modern
warfare, were finished recently by the
examining board at the United States
armory in Springfield, Mass.
The weapon Is a composite of the
Krag-Jorgensen and Mauser, says the
Philadelphia Press. Simplicity Is one
of the fundamental principles of the
new arm. The knife bayonet Of the
gun Is replaced by a
rod bayonet which slips into the gun,
stock and can be pulled out and locked
in it's socket in q twinkling. The veloci-
ty of the Krag-Jorgensen is 1000 feet
a second, and in the new rifle the speed
is increased to $500 feet.

wilcox did some good politics at the
Home Rule convention. He started the
catchword Independence" and then
quickly withdrew it for use in the next
campaign for Congress. The result Is
that he has identified new issue with
his name, he has not wasted its
strength on a campaign for local offices
in which he is not personally interest
ed, and he is in shape to get the full
benefit of the issue when he runs for
Congress next year. Meanwhile the
new idea will make his party all the
more anxious to nominate him.
OF course the independence or Ha-
wall. even on the Cuban basis, Is the
veriest daydream. Even IL it were
achieved, the fact would do Wilcox and
his friends no good-they would not
rule the country. But independence
answers for a catchword, just as did
wncox's promise to remove Dole
three years ago. 1t it vote-making
slogan-and as such Wilcox hopes to
return, two years from next March, to
the theater of his follies and failures.

A CHARACTERISTIC PLANK.

Probably the most impertinent plank
in the Home Rule platform is the
eighth, which reads as follows;
r., We denounce the attempt that is
being made by the supporters OF exist
ing conditions in this Territory TO ralse
race issues, and we charge that such
attempt is being made for the sole pur-
nose of misleading the people or the
United States and of creating sentl-
neht abroad prejudicial to the Hawai-
ian people. The entire history OF the
Hawaiian race for more than half a
century affords abundant testimony or
the fact that the Hawaiians desire 10
I've upon terms of friendship, justice
and equity with all people who come
amongst them, and that strangers are
hospitably received and given opportu-
mites in public as well as private ire
commensurate with their deserts.
The only race issue we know any
thing bout was raised in the Legisla-
ture by the Home Rule speaker OF the
House when he declared against the
appropriation for an immigration COM
missioner on the ground that no more
white Americans were wanted here
and when he, with the almost solid sup
port of the native members, defeated
the appropriation on those grounds
The Home Rule party is anti-white
man in it's membership, its legislation
its nominations. it's public utteranees
and i'm its motto of Hawaii for the
Hawaiians." For it to declare that the
natural efforts of white men-who pay
three-quarters and more OF the taxes Vi
this Territory-to defend themselves
from aboriginal misrule are towards
race issue, is to square the circle Oh
audacity and fraud.

LIVING PICTURES AT

IAUKEA's NAIVE CONFESSION.

Some DAVIS ago the Advertiser re-
,,farkad apropos of the fight for the Re-
,,blican nomination for Sheriff, that
anv candidate for the honor would do
well to explain what became OF the
money entrusted TO him in his last once
before aspiring to another one. In
view of the unsoIved mysteries left over
in the Board of Public Works, the hint
was not lost upon any man of average
intelligence, but it seems not only 10
have been lost on Curtis Iaukea but to
have awakened in him a most uneasy
conscience. Not only does Iaukea as
sumo, as a matter of course, that the
criticism was directed at him, but in an
extraordinary letter TO the Bulletin he
admits that there may be some ground
for IT. Listen to this concluding para
graph OF a TRADE of abuse of the Ad-
vertiser: THAT there may be spots
and stains around my skirts that can
never be erased by mortal hands, L VIII
not deny. To God alone must atone
for these shortcomings. But In the
words OF the Gospel, Let him who is
among you without sin, cast the first
stone"
IT had not occurred to the writer OF
the paragraph of which Mr.. Iaukea
complains, that the shot which was
aimed at a more conspicuous bird on
the wing would also bring him down
But here he is, confessing that he was
as fair game as the other fowl of pas
sage. Even yet we are not sure what IL
ia all about, but as Iaukea confesses
that there are spots and stains on MIN
which no mortal hand can erase ana
which can only be cleansed by God, we
infer that the offence was serious.

Mr.. Wilcox said that inasmucn as
America had granted self government
to Cuba and 1t had been stated In Con
gress that IL the Filipinos were capaole
of self government, they would be CIV
en- their independence. there was excel
lent reason why some form OF autonomy
should be given to Hawaii. 1t was nee
essary that this country should gov
ern itself for there were laws whicn,
while good for the mainland were not
good for these islands.
Mr., wilcox forgets that Hawaii Is
annexed and that Cuba never has been.
As for the Philippines they are not yet
organized and it cannot be said what
will be done with them.

Sir Edward Malet tells remarkable
story of a certain cardinal, who, when
pressed by an admiring circle of ladies
at an evening party to say whether ne
had ever received any startling COM
LESSONS, replied that the first person
who had come to him after he had tax
en- orders, desired absolution for muir
der which he confessed he had COM
rnitted. A gentle shudder ran through
the frames of the audience. This was
turned to CONSERVATION when, ten min
utes later, an elderly marquis entered
the apartment, and eagerly claimed
acquaintance with the cardinal. but

1t ia intimated by Home Rule leaders
that their platform was written oy an

much. The number of Republicans
who do politics for the Home Rulers
and at the same time expect their ad-

party is large enough to make ward

Stimulating the scalp may allay the
itching of the dandruff, but that does
not cure the scalp. The disease won't
yield to quinine or capsicum nor alco-
hoI, because it is caused by a germ or
parasite. To cure dandruff the germ
must be destroyed. Until recently
there was no hair preparation, or
dandruff cure, or hair restorer on the
market that would kill that insidious
germ that dries UP the scalp in little
scales called dandruff, and absorbs
the vitality of the hair, causing fall

months ago I had warned Bannister not
TO come in my place any more, and for
that length of time he had not been
in my place. The moment I saw him 1
knew that there was trouble ahead, and
was soon after advised that Bannister
and Pete Cooper had made a talk about
me in one of the SALONS. Bannister was
a dangerous man and l have felt for a
long time that my life was in danger.

Thomas a. Cook, who shot Bannister,
has been a resident of Oklahoma City
since the opening of the territory TO

being one of the squarest and most hon

ness at the close Of the present year,
having recently purchased and stocked
a large cattle ranch in Greer county with
the purpose of removing TO the same
