1t seems to US that in asking for
two delegates to st Louis, Maui is
rather trying to hog il. A fair sp-
portionment is that suggested blythe
Hawaii deleg i. e., Hawaii, two;
Maui, one, and Oahu, three. Figur-
ing it out upon basis OF the en-
rolled vote, that would be a fair
division. Maui advances the claim
to the delegate upon the plea that
Kauai will have none, and it should
come in for that man. We can't see
it that way. Let the delegates be
selected from the Districts contain
ing the support to Democracy and
in proportion to that support.

pared with the pain that he felt In
his mind at the thought that possibly
his rivals might be getting ahead OF
him.
They didn't get ahead Of him and
he made his reports all right. But at
the last moment his company decided
not to bid because it had found a new
use for its plant. So all his fight with
the wilderness went for nothing.
mo, I never had any real adven-
lures myself. Once I fell into a river
in South America and a crocodile (not
an alligator, but real, genuine Amer
lean crocodile) made a snap at me. 1
fioundered aboard a boat just in time
to escape.
Another time a snake fell out OF
tree right on top Of my telescope
which I was resting against the trunk
to survey a valley. And once In Bur-
nah a rhinoceros stepped on my toe
and smashed it.
But then, when a rhinoceros gets
so close to you that it steps on your
toe and doesn't do anything worse,
you are, naturally, very much relieved.
This particular rhinoceros must have
scented the camp and 1t charged
right down on us, though nobody was
annoying 1t. 1t went bang through the
whole place and scattered kettles, ma
tives and outfit in the woods.
I'VE never even got a shot at 1t.

VOICE AN INDEX OF BREEDING.
Children Should Early Be Taught Its
Proper Use.

One evidence of gentle breeding Is
well-modulated voice. Thomas
Wentworth Higginson said: Shut me
up in a dark room with a mixed null
titude, and I can pick out the gentle
folks by their voices" writes Miss Bur-
ton Kingsland in Success. In the
compass of every voice there are three
registers-the middle or throat, the
lower or chest, and the upper or head
register. The use Of the middle pitch
for talking is very desirable, but the
voice should be trained to slide up and
down, varying with the emotions; low,
when the mood inclines toward seri-
BUSINESS, and higher when 1t becomes
tinged with excitement. An interesting
speaker constantly changes his pitch;
not abruptly, but with ease and skill,
and the greater range one has the more
certain he Is to get and retain the
pleased attention of listeners. Our
high pitched, strident voices are sharp
ly criticized, and 1t Is quite within our
power to change them.
I confess to liking a bit Of slang
now and then from a young mans
mouth. 1t sounds racy, adds snap and
spice If used judiciously, and few
Of its terms are pithy and expressive,
but when a girl uses slang 1t only
sounds common. What Is becoming to
one sex Is not necessarily so to the
other.
When we see a woman who laughs
and talks loudly in public places. we
put a severe strain upon our charity
and judgment not to think her vulgar.
When to the conventional How do
you do?" she replies "Fine!" We know
on just what rung Of the social ladder
to put her.

Where the Blame Lay.

Ste1nly the judge regarded the
prisoner before him. He beheld man
of tender, unripe years, whose face was
fair to look upon, bearing as 1t did
every known mark of honesty. Ap-
pearances gave no reason for commit
ting the crime, and yet the jury had
decided, on first ballot, that the prls-
oner was guilty. In fact, the plea for
the defense was very weak.
1T seems incredible" said the judge,
that a man of your connections should
have stopped so low as to become a
common forger. Surely someone else
must have been the cause of your
downfall"
There was some one" replied the
prisoner. 1T is yourself, your honor
'I?" calculated the judge, amazed.
Just so. A short time ago I was
member Of the graduating class in my
college. You were one Of the speakers
at the farewell session. You may re-
member your words: The world lies
ahead Of you. But you must push your
