OF the Democratic party, and his
smooth, persuasive tongue is evil
dedtly changing many Home Rulers
into the ranks Of tbs Democracy At
q meeting held Saturday evening 10
the Armory hall, Mr. Iaukea spoke
ia Eoglish aud Hawaiian to an audi
encs Of over one hundred people,
natives and white, many OF whom
seemed greatly impressed by the
style and vigor OF his argumsr is.
He deprecated the feeling OF race
prejudice which exists among Hawa-
iisne, and warned them that the fos.
tering of spirit OF autsEonism
against American methods and
forms OF government would react
upon themselves. He believed in
county government; he also believed
that the Republican party was re-
sponsible for the fact that the
county government was not in eXis-
t nee in this Territory today, aud
gave that as his mostlweighty reason
for leaving the Republican party,
and desirs to affiliate with the Dem O.

Charles d LIE Blonde presided
over the meeting, and as usual cap
tursd his audience by his salliss OF
pungent wit aud humor, and an ex-
position OF the doctrines OF Demo-
craoy that argues on exceedingly
warm time for his opponents dur
ing the next campaign.
When fifty signatures had been
obtained the club proceeded to or

Keep Ont the Flies. .


"Somethin' to keep out the flies,
mum; somethin' to keep out the flies" F"
Day after day, week in and week out,
sunshine or rain, the housewives in the
Mission hear this cry from little old
man who owns a little carpenter shop
on Castro street, near where the cars
turn. He has been there for years. and
during all that time he has done moth
ing but make screen-covered cupboards
-"something to keep out the flies" Oc-
casionally he will take an order for a
screen door.
An order for a cupboard pleases him
greatly and is always received with a
chuckle and a muttered something
about flies, the pesky critters"
Recently a woman who ordered a
cupboard from him sought to find out
why he had such a hatred for flies.
For time all she got from the old man
was a mumbled Keep 'em out, the
pesky critters-keep 'em out"
She persisted in the inquiry, and after
a minute or two the old man, with a
savage look in his eyes, snapped out:
Twenty years ago in Missouri 1 had
a wife and five children. We had nice
little farm. In a town five miles from
us there was a plague. The flies car
ried it to my little farm. Within a week
wife and little ones died. Keep 'em Ou<,
the pesky critters; keep 'em out"

Tacoma or Rainier.

The Youths Companion prints a
story to the effect that notwithstanding
the disparity in size between Seattle
and Tacoma, the rivalry in other re-
spects between the two cities is as keen
a in their earlier days, when they were
young boom" towns.
A curious instance of this is seen in
the names by which the towering
mountain that lifts it's tall peak to the
southeast is known in the two places.
In Tacoma it is treason to call 1t any
thing else than Mount Tacoma" while
in Seattle it is Mount Rainier"
A traveller when about half way be-
tween the two cities saw two boys
fighting by the roadside. Before he
could separate them one Of the boys
got the other down. and after banging
the victims face into the soft ground,
sat painting but victorious astride Of
him.
Whats the name o. that mountain
now?" the victor demanded, in exultant
tones.
It's humbly replied the van
quished lad The effort to free his
mouth from the mud and grass which
his opponent had rubbed into it made
the answer unintelligible to the trav-
eler; but the victor was satisfied and
let him up.

Significant Precision.

According to the Jewish World, q
very touching editorial appeared in a
recent issue of the Hebrew Daily Haze
firah of Warsaw, Poland. where the
editor, Mr.. Sorolow, calls attention to
the Talmudic law which requires every
married man before going on the bat
tlef1eld to grant a conditional divorce
to his wife, that she may remarry if
he does not return within a reasonable
time after the end of the war.
The rabbis of Lodz have caused all
tie Jewish soldiers that left that city
for the seat of war to grant such di-
vorces, and Editor SOrolow suggests
that the example of Lodz should be
copied all over Russia.
Every married soldier, volunteer or
reserve, registers with a rabbi his
name, address, age. height, birthmarks,
name of company and regiment he
joins, and the rabbi keeps a record Of
same until the soldier returns from the
war
If Z reasonable time after the close
of the war elapses and the soldier does
not return, he is counted among the
lost and unidentified dead, and his wife
obtains the divorce from that rabbi
granting her the right to remarry.

A discussion started in the Hall OF
Justice one rainy day recently as to
whether 1t was crime to steal an
umbrella, and Sergeant Mcdonald told
a good story about the well l-nown at
/. torney, T. c. Van Ness.
Attorney Van Ness" he said, was
interested in a case in Judge Rix's
court and when he reached the table
in front of the bench he placed his
umbrella on it. He left the courtroom
without the umbrella, but returned lat
er and, addressing the Judge, said: I
left my umbrella on this table, but 1t
is not there now. / shall be here to-
morrow morning and l shall expect the
umbrella to be Just where I left it, or
somebody will have to suffer the con-
sequences.
Next morning when he entered the
courtroom and walked up to the table
the umbrella was there just where he
had left it. Addressing the Judge so
that those in the courtroom could hear
him, he said: This little isode proves
that it is not impossible to find honest
men in this world. Just look, your
Honor; there is my umbrella in the
exact spot where I left 1t yesterday

himself of the sovereign prerogative n
put a stop to the public singing of nj;
topical songs bearing upon the war and
which tend TO ridicule or to cast oh-
loquy upon one or the other of the bel
ligerents. OF course the songs can he
sung in private, but thanks to the Lord
Chamberlain's peremptory commands.
they cannot be given ON the stage of
any theater or music hall. under the
penalty of the forfeiture of the license
of the place, and of all sorts of PENAL
ties in the way of fine and imprison-
ment for the singer, the composer and
the management of the house.
In most other European countries the
censorship of the drama and of every
thing connected with the stage is ex-
ercised by the Government But in
England it has, at any rate for the last
two hundred years, been the legal pre-
rcgative of the sovereign, who has in
variably exercised it through his Lord

The Tootllsomc Cocoanut.


The United States imports annually
about 10000, 900 cocoanuts, at cost of
some $500, 900. Distributed in the form
Of pies and other confections, says the
New York Sun, this supply contributes
much to the sum total of human hap
piness.
The cocoanut has various other i'm
portant commercial uses. The so-called
meat" yields an oil for which the
demand almost unlimited The fib-
rous husk yields a material known as
''coir,' which IS used for mats and mat
ting. for sacks, ropes and for mattress
stuffing. Even the shell has its COM
mercial uses. The oil is used for soap.
candles and glycerine. Chemical pro-
cesses are now producing from it an
entirely wholesome and nutritious sub
stitute for butter made from cows
milk. The cake, called "poonac," left
after the oil has been extracted, is an
excellent food for cattle, hogs, horses
and even for poultry.
Three hundred cocoanut trees may
easily be grown to the acre, and each
tree will yield at least 200 nuts year.
BY the conversion of this supply into
readily marketable products, by pro-
cesses which involve no great outlay
OF capital, every acre of cocoanut trees
should return more rather than less
than $1,000 year to its owner. The
sale of the nuts, as such, should re-
turn about $500 per acre.

At one time Horace Greeley lived IN
a pleasant estate on the Hudson River.
1t was approached by a narrow lane
from the street, says a writer IN the
Springfield Republican. and was four
miles out from the City Hall on the
Harlem road.
The ground from the house on one
side slOped down to the river; on the
other was a garden which bore fruit,
accessible to boys. On Sunday, their
day of freedom as we'll as Mr.. Gree
ley's, the boys sought the orchard.
Mr.. Greeley never saw or heard them.
But Mrs. Greeley always saw them, and
from her place on the piazza she would
call TO Mr.. Greeley to put on his hat
and deal with them"
Mr.. Greeley would never have dis
turbed them, but he always complied
with his wife's wish-in his own time
and way. AS he slowly reached for his
hat, he shouted

OF course not many captures were
made.
