How It Feels To
When An Artllleryman
Come To the Tropics

The officers and men In the two ar
tillery companies recently transferred
from the Presidio to Camp Mckinley
are, to put It mildly. elated over the
change. They look upon their sojourn
In the Islands, whether II be brief or
long, busy or idle, as an easy vacation,
a pleasant outing-in fact a return to
the good old summertime of idle and
funcy-free boyhood. This buoyant
feeling of men and officers can be read
lily understood from the fact that at the
Presidio, artillerymen have to work
like section men. The Preside is the
hardest worked post In America. Ar
tillery practice goes on daily and there
being guns galore, every man Of these
two companies has for months been
accustomed to the most rigorous stunts.
An artilleryman's duty is no easy snap.
His work is not simple An artillery
man must have technical knowledge
enough to give him high place as q
mechanical or electrical engineer
There Is not one In the service but
who could command twice the wages at
civil employment than he receives In
the army. When $150.0O0 12-inch
gun is to be mounted on some new
emplacement in a fertilization, its en-
listed men do the job. The officers are
men Of highest technical and practical
mechanical training. II Is In this con-
nection that a transfer to Hawaii, while
a delight to the men, may be to their
detriment.
In the artillery service men and Of
ficers are constantly studying to i'm
prove methods in gunnery and con-
struction. At the Preside the officer
with the inventive instinct had every
chance to devise and work out some
new idea that might be Of great value
to the country and consequently bring
laurels and distinction to himself. HeI g
In Hawaii, there are no guns: there Is
nothing to do. Even an artilleryman
may become dreamer. And that Is
what he is afraid Of and he will strug-
gle against the insidious corruption OF
climate and idleness, hoping among
other things that Congress will hurry
up its schemes of terrifying Hawaii
Mounting guns under tropical sun
win be cure for all possible physical
and mental stagnation that a few
months Of inactivity may occasion.
The two new companies are the 92nd
and 2Sth. The 2sth has ninety men

The monarchs of the Hawaiian race,

to an extent almost unparalleled In

During that time they have certainly
made more progress than the inhabit-

Caesar. Even their enemies admit
that they are a generous, courteous
and kindly people. They are a people

man who understands their point of
view and gifted with tact. They are
no different than any other people In
this respect. This explains Governor

an answer to unjust slurs upon the ma.

/ One OF the best and most interest
ing meetings of the Mutual I'M
provement Society was held at the
residence of Mrs. Holman on the
evening of Wednesday, Nov. 9th. A II
of the Brethren were present, with
an increase of four. Mr.. John
Temby, ST., was very welcome WIS.,
itor on invitation, and interested the
Society with both pleasant AID hair
breadth "reminiscences of his early
life. The young men present, who
had never seen or experienced any
of the harsh conditions of life, could
hardly understand what the pioneers
had to undergo to give us our present
exalted condition. But like true
philosophers they all listened atten-
lively, and appreciated very highly
all the good gentleman said, and
there learned at the feet of a practi-
cal philosopher many important les
sons in life, viz:
First. That the greatness Of this
country was directed by an all-wise
and kind providence;
Second. That superior class of
men, divinely fitted, laid the founda-
ton of the republic;
Third. That our fathers not only
produced the best conditions for us
but
Fourth. Set us an honorable exam
pie to carry on the work Of progress
until the world shall have christ
ianized civilization; and
Fifth. That in order to be the
worthy sons of most worthy sires, we
must cultivate the intellectual, NOR
al and religious elements of char
acter.
During Mr.. Temby's discussion
and elaboration of these principles
DR.. Gundry (president) was in per-
feet rapture, and suggested that the
thanks of the society be accorded to
Mr.. Temby for his eloquent address,
which proposition was carried unan-
imously. Prof. Hewitt, being called,
lreudefed beautiful aoio. " hiah took
the audience by storm and he was re-
called by encore.
The society was now called to par
take Of refreshments by Master John
Holman. Here the ability Of Prof.
John Bennett and Col. Pearson was
fully established. These two philos-
ophers have new and improved
method OF cooking oysters, by which
they will not burn, dry or wilt. The
method is entirely original with the
aforesaid philosophers. 1t would be
unlawful to tell what took place af-
ter supper, but, needless to say, they
had happy time.

THE FIRST ENVELOPE S.
They Were Used In Private Penny
Post Ia Paris.


The first meution OF envelopes occurs
in 1868. when NJ. de Nalayer set up,
under royal patronage. private penny
post in Paris, and boxes were placed
at street corners for the reception of
letters wrapped in post paid envelopes.
The earliest uses OF the word in Eng
lish were by Bishop Burnett in TIA
and Dean Swift in 1926. That the
little bags called envelopes" as Row
land Hill described them. were nothing
but q revival and were in use as a
covering for postal purposes long be-
fore 1910, when his postal reform was
established, is evident from the follow

mentions them in 1870, and in Harry
Lorrequer," published by Charles Lever
in 1887, we find ''rhe waiter entered

The early covers were probably rude
enough, as machine made envelopes
were unknown before 1910, and the

pearance till the succeeding year.
