Foolish Obstacles to Marriage.

Marriage Is an institution against
which no law can be made to work
successfully. All such prohibitive
laws often end In failure even for the
special purpose aimed at. School
boards have, for instance. In various
parts of the country prohibited the
marriage of teachers, some ruling that
women teachers who married forfeited
their positions. Competent and ex-
perienced teachers were thus COM
PEELED to choose between enforced
spinsterhood and abandonment of the
profession, for which a marked apti-
tude may have been shown, and In
which noteworthy success may have
been achieved.
Kansas school boards inserted a
clause in their contracts with teachers
forbidding the marriage OF the latter
during the term for which they had
engaged. 1t is not often that teach
er desires to marry till the end of her
term, but II what she deems iavora-
bic opportunity for marriage presents
itself, there should be no obstable to
her taking advantage of 1t. Mrs.
Kate Murphy, of Brooklyn, N Y was
dropped from the roll OF teachers in
the metropolis because she had COM
mitted the crime of matrimony. Con-
scious of having done no wrongful
ly persuaded, In fact, that she had
done that which was right and com
mendable-she appealed to the courts.
The State Court of Appeals has rem
dered final decision that the board has
no right to remove teacher without
due cause and trial. There is hardly
a school boad, even in Kansas, absurd
enough to put teacher on trial for
marrying. Not In America, at all
events, Is Selden's view of marriage
held In regard. That old British
sage, speaking perhaps from personal
experience or observation. remarked
Marriage Is desperate thing. The
frogs In Esop were extremely wise;
they had great mind to some water,
but they would not leap into the we'll,
because they could not get out again"
Selden should have learned of his
pious and learned contemporary,
Jeremy Taylor, that marriage is the
mother of the world and preserves
Kingdoms, and fills cities and churches
and heaven itself. ."-Louisville Her

Head of Mormon Church Ad-
mitS Defiance of Law.
Took His Chances Rather
Than Disgrace His
Families.
Since the Manifesto of 1890 He
Has Had Children by Five
of His Wives.

Washington, March 4.-Attorneys
for the protestants In the Smoot In
vestigation said they indended to
prove that the defendant Is associated
with hierarchy which practices po-
lygamy and connives at violations OF
the law, and that his very vote as a
Senator OF the United States Is sub
iect to the wish and command of the
Mormon church. President Joseph
F. Smith confessed that he himself
had continued to cohablt with his
plural family since the manifesto of
1899, and that he realized fully that
he was violating state laws. Presi-
dent Smith also testified that Reed
Smoot had to get the consent of his
associate apostles in the church be-
fore he could become a candidate for
Senator.
The confession of Psesident Smith
was the sensation of the proceedings
yesterday before the senate com unit
tee on privileges and elections. Mr..
Smith said that manifesto of 1890 had
LETT him and others with plural fami-
lies in the unfortunate situation of
being compelled to defy the law or
desert their families For himself he
had preferred to take chances with
the law" rather than to disgrace him
self and degrade his family by aban-
doning his wives and the children
they had borne him. He admitted
that he had had children by all OF his
five wives since the manifesto, and
said he had acknowledged them open
ly without interference or disturbance
from the people of Utah, whom he
characterized as liberal and broad
minded.
Mr.. Smith. in answer to questions
by Chairman Burrows, declared he
had performed no polygamous mar
riages since 1890 anywhere on earth.
Mr. Dubois asked if any of the apos-
ties hal performed such service, and
Mr.. Smith said if they had they would
have been fined and imprisoned If
found guilty, and if the charge could
be proved the offender would be ex-
communicated.

A ROLL OF BUTTER.
Why II Was Exchanged and What Be-
came Of II.

The little town Of Mercer boasts
a greengrocer with all the wisdom
of Solomon, reports the Phlladel-
phia Ledger. The other day coun-
try woman, famous the country over
for the quality of her butter, called
on this old Silas Treeves with the
odd request that he take Il five
pound roll of her making, giving
her in place of cash an equal amount
of butter from his own stock.
Knowing, as he did, that her butter
was better than any he had ever
handled and knowing, too, that she
knew that it was, the old fellow be-
came somewhat suspicious and ques-
toned the woman's motive.
"Well, you seo," she said finally,
"when l come to do the churnin'
this week / found mouse drowned
in the cream, and somehow our
folks feel kind O. offish about eatin'
this here butter"
"And do YOU expect me TO cell
that kind of butter to my custom
ers?"
"Now, look here, Silas Treevcs,"
said the old woman, "my buffers
better'n any your customers ever
gets, and as for the mouse-well,
what they don't know won't hurt
them"
The old man took the butter and
weighed it, went to his cellar and
after a little while returned with Il
roll of a somewhat different shape,
but very much the same general ap-
pearance, and, this being satisfac-
tory to his customer, she took it and
went out.
About a week later the country
woman happened in again.
"How'd you like the butter?" ask
ed the old philosopher.
First rate replied the woman.
"Folks eat it !"
"Yep."
"Well. maybe you was right, after
all, about what people don't know
not hurtin' 'em. You ct the butter
with the mouse in it, after all. |
jes' changed the shape of the roll a
little"

Do You Want Strength?

If you want to increase your
strength you must add to and not
take from the physical. In other
words, the food that you eat must be
digested, assimilated and appropriate
ed by the nerves, blood and the tissues
before being expelled from the intes-
tines. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure adds to
the physical. 1t gives strength to
to and builds up strength in the hu-
man system. 1t is pleasant to the

SWEET PEAS KILL FLIES.
Druggist Says the Flower Attracts
and Then Poisons Them.

A local druggist has found new
agent for the destruction of flies that
for activity and effectiveness discounts
anything heretofore offered for that pur-
pose. And not only is it harmless, but
It is a thing of beauty as we'll After
selling annually thousands of sheets OF
fly paper of the sticky and poisoned
varieties and ton more or less of in
sect powder, the new antidote for the
pest bids fair to supersede all previous
methods with him and those OF his
friends who are in on the secret.
For several days the druggist, who IS
lover of flowers, has had upon his
front cases punches OF sweet peas of a
variety grown originally in California
and but recently cultivated in this Sec
ton of the country. Each morning after
opening up the store. he has found col
lected around the base of the vessel con-
tanning the peas quite an accumulation
of dead flies.
For the first daV or so he regarded the
mass of defunct dipterous insects as an
accidental gathering in the neighborhood
OF the flowers but curiosity prompted
him later to watch the conduct of the
few flies left in the store. 1t was OBJ
served when the peas were freshly pick
ed that Immediately after their being
placed in the vases those flies in the
vicinity swarmed upon the petals and
proceeded to fasten themselves there.
Shortly afterward they fell from their
positions dead
1t is presumed that the odor of the
peas attracted them first and that after
ward they absorbed some poisonous exu-
dation that the flowers possess and died
in consequence. SO far as known the
peas possess no toxic effect upon the
human being-Sprinoheld Journal.

| plantation company is taken aboard,
while at Punaluu, a little farther on
the Pahala plantation ships its sugar.
| Makino's hotel at Honuapo gives ex-
cellent accommodation for travellers.
Naalehu is . pretty place, with homes
of the manager and employees which
have been made as artistic in sur
roundings as one would desire. At
Waiohinu, the traveller, who has been
in search of a village more or less
typical of the country life of Hawai-
ians, can have his wish fulfilled. 1t is
a quaint little place. The government
road is the main thoroughfare through
the hamlet. 1t is lined with stone
walls, for every resident in the coun-
try districts makes use of lava bould-
ers to mark the confines of his home.
These have been covered with a fungus
growth which makes the walls doubly
attractive. Behind these are pretty
homes one or two quite elaborate, es-
pecially that of George Hewitt, while
1uango, monkey pod pepper, willow
kukui and many other varieties of trees
grow luxuriantly. The lawns are
smooth and green and the flowers of
the brightest hues. Small lane-nke
streets cut into the government road,
leading off to other picturesque places.
Waiohinu basks in the luxury of a
commodious school and spacious play
ground, under a competent principal,
Miss Ben Taylor.
But the rivalry between Waiohinu
and Naalehu, like that of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, has brought about an is
sue in the school question. There is
an appropriation for a new and large
school. Naalehu wants it near the
plantation, and Waiohinu is just as
eager to have the new replace the old
building. 1t has almost been decided
to erect the new school just on the
edge of Waiohinu which will place it
half a mile nearer Naalehu than the
present building.
FENCELESS JAIL.
Then among the attractions of Wal
ohinu, to which the traveller is refer
red when asking for sights. is the old
Jail. 1t is old. There is no mistake
about that. 1t is located in pretty
part of the village. with zig spreading
trees shielding the buildings from the
sun. The jail tops a bluff. but one of
the four sides of the fence is missing
and has been for two or three years.
Age rot has done its work and the gov
eminent has never interfered. 1t IS
told of one prisoner there that he OBJ
jected to his quarters because the wind
blew in from the opening in the fence
and the rain fell through the roofless
structure and drenched him. Whether
he thought of escape is another story.
Waiohinu people think they are now
entitled to a new jail. The village
points with pride to the old mission
grounds, where in early days the mis-
sionaries erected the first church in
the place.
The people are hospitable in Kau. The
traveller has not to fear that he will
lack a place to lay his head when
night comes. Some hospitable door

COOKS MONUMENT.

When the steamer reaches Napoo-
poo the traveller knows he has come
to the bay made famous by the visit
of Captain Cook, the great English
navigator in his frigate, the Discovery.
For here it was, just across the bay
where Captain Cook, after being
thought the god Lono by the Hawai-
ians, laid down his life Here in the
early part of the nineteenth century
the British government left a copper
slab inscribed to the memory of Cook.
The same copper plate is now in the
possession of Mr.. Leslie at Napoopoo,
a relic of great value.
On the spot where Cook was killed is
the monument erected in the 70's by
countrymen of his. The place is sur
rounded by jagged rocks. A fence of
chain surrounds the shaft and grass
was once sown in the enclosure, but it
is now overgrown with weeds. 1t is
