DUNoREARY MADE A HIT.
Accidental Stumble at Stage En-
trance Struck Audience as
Being Intentional

In the days of Lester WallaclS
and the two Barretts, when Nib
os was BrOadway'S foremost
theater, the American public was
invited to"enter its doors TO see n
new piece called Our American
Cousin Joseph Jefferson was
to play the title part, with Laura
keene as leading lady, says the
New York Timcs, and further
down the programme appeared
the names of Henrietta Chanfrau.
a rarely beautiful aud popular ac-
trcss, aud e. III. SOthcrn, the last
named being announced to play
Lord Dundrcary.
TO-day's theatrical traditions
have much to tell Of that play, aud
the most Of the story has to do
with the sIhcndidly stupid Eng
lish lord, who mixed his proverbs
and made immortal the name Of
the elder Sothcrn, but before sue.
cess had arrived il was all very
different; none of the east was So
Disguised with his part as was
that same talented gentleman.
Mrs. ChanfraH, who used often tn
tell of the incident, said:

SOthern contidcd ia me how great

JACK AND THE CHICKENS.
Dog Had Bad Habit Of Killing Them,
But Reformed and Became
Foster-Father.

jack was a beautiful Irish set
ter that was devoted to his little
mistress, Mary. He had one very
bad habit. He would kill chick
iens. The ranchmen all around
threatened to shoot Jack if they
caught him. and Mary was much
distressed. relates the Chicago
Record Herald.
One rainy day in the early
spring Il farm hand brought into
the house a number of dear little
chickens, just out of the shell, and
placed them on the hearth before
the fire. The tiny, fluffy waits were
chilled through and through and
their little legs were icy cold.
Mary, like the good little house
wife she was, suddenly conceived
the brilliant idea Of filing has

of leaving them alone, started

Imagine her horror, however
when, upon entering the room, she
discovered Jack lying lazily ir

fright. for she knew they had beer

'what have You done with those

Jack merely wagged his tail and
looked nj her with one ear cooked. |
Mary slowly approached the cut |
prit, with deep frOwn on her
face and continued:
IF YOU have eaten those chick.

At this terrible threat the dog
only wagged his tail all the harder .
and cooked both ears. Just then
came faint Peep! peepw from
somewhere near the fire, and the
log looked knowing.
And where dOyOu suppose those
baby chickens were hiding? Be-

The Boy Who Works.

The st. Paul News expresses our
sentiment when it perpetrates the
following on the boy who works.
Pc you feel, my boy, that you have
hard time.
Your hours are long. Your task is
hard and the wages rather small.
The contents Of your Saturday en-
yelope will scarcely carry you over
the week. Sometimes you must wear
patched trousers or frayed coat.
Your employer expects great deal
from you. Other young fellows dress
we'll and always have money. They
have coddl;ng fathers aud mothers,
while you work six days out of the
week to makea living.
Never mind.
You are ahead Of the boy who has
every luxury at home. You ara get
ting experience that he must get
somehow later on. Because, sooner
pr later, he must fight the real battle
Of life for himself. Aud you have the
advantage. While life has been made
easy for him he lscks the drill and
discipline which every life-soldier
must 90 through. You are prepar-
ing yourself, He may go in without
preparation and fail.
Work is great blessing.

Whip the Wife Bsaters.

Now that the movement for the
adoption of the whipping post as a
means Of correcting the evil propen-
sites of the men things who beat their
wives has taken form, let US hope that
it will be pushed to the end that the
state legislatures will provide the nee
.essary laws. Bishop Sateriee, OF
Washington, has made a pronounce
meut in favor OF the whipping post
and it is likely that other clergymen
and leaders in public affairs will take
up the crusade.
The whipping post is justifiable as
a means Of punishment for the mean
and coward!y criminals who beats
women. The only argument that has
ever been made against corporal pun
lshment is that it tends to degrade
the person upon whom it is inflicted.
But nothing could POSSIBLY degrade
the coward who beats his wife. In
this case corporal punishment is the
only corrective that is likely to b Of.
fectiye.
The experience of this community
IN dealing with this class OF offenders
shows the difficulty in applying a law
that is really corrective corrective. 1t
was assumed that making wife beat
ing an affair for the grand jury would
have different effect. This assump
ton was fallacious The wife who is
brntally treated is too often too COM
pletely OF the mercy of the wretch
who beats her. If she follw the
course laid down by the law she may
starve while the man is being kept at
the expence of the state. Generally
the women refuse to follow up the
prosecution to the limit.
Ii whipping were prescribed for
the wife beater he would shortly dis
appear. 1t is very certain that one
whipping would suffice to cure the
most persistent of wife heaters, and
we know the mere imprisonment is
not at all effective. Let us put away
the sentimental horror in which we
have held the whippingpost to be a
survival of barbarism. There are
barbarians who cannot be argued
with by any other than bart,arous
means.-Giobe.

Picnic OF Money Sharks.

The statement that the Waterhouse
Trust Company may decide to cash
treasury warrants will be received
with general and genuine satisfaction,
It means that the securities may be
realized upon at a reasonable discount,
and that Government employees will be
spared from being victimized by the
money sharks of Honolulu. Falling a
prey to this robber band of usurers
would have come as an almost intoler-
able hardship upon men who will likely
be compelled to stand cut In their
salaries anyway. The Star says that
the blind three-ball men demand fif-
.eeh per cehI lor uiscountlhs Marcn
warrants, Even that outrageous fig.
ure, however, is subterfuge or bait.
1t is safe gamble that the hard
pressed Government employee, calling
upon one of them with warrant,
would get away with not over one-half
Of his money.

Fine outlook, isn't it? And yet these
are the things that the howlers for
annexation, composed largely of the
property owners of Honolulu, had be-
fore them when they rode rough-shod
over more conservative opinion a few
years ago. They were the "blind that
would not see", given over to their
madness and the endorsement of a
project, the details and effects Of
which they had not paused to consld-
er. Those persons who deferred hon
estly from the annexationists have lost
their all anyhow, and have nothing
further to sacrifice. The people that
will now have a turn at losses are the
wealthy annexationists,. who will be
called upon to pay the penalty of their
sins. Inasmuch as the penalty must
be paid in land valuations, dollars and
cents, the day of reckoning will be
fraught with much weeping and gnash.

Iha Boomerang Starts Back

So far as the effect upon Honolulu
proper is concerned 1t matters very
little whether the United States naval
base In the Islands Is located at Pearl
Harbor or at Hilo. If at Pearl Harbor
there will be an exodus from the city
to that place, and city will spring
up there like "a mushroom in the
night" and 1t will be composed of Ho-
nolulu people, too. The Oahu Railway
and other Spectators In land will real
ize immense prices for town lots, and
Honolulu will supply some building
material at the start. When once on
her feet, Pearl City will have superior
shipping facilities, will have corraled
the commerce of these waters, the
business Of the army and navy and
Honolulu will be on the bum. Town
lots will sell for about the price of a
foot front of the present day That
is what the naval station at Pearl Har.
