Many of the Japanese evade the pay

the vigilant tax Office agents keep a
watchful eye on them, and no Japanese

showing his receipt or paying the cash
equivalent therefor.

INDOOR BUTTERFLIES.
How Little sturgis. n Convalescent
Youngster, Was Entertained
Royalty by His Mother.

When Mamma Leayitt came home
from a call at the high school teachers
she found Sturgis wishing that there
was no such thing as measles.
eff it hadn't been for measles don't
believe l should have taken any notice
of some butterflies 1 saw this after
noon," cried Mamma Leayitt, gayly.
"And 1 shouldn't have found Nout all
about them so we could have some our
selves if it hadn't been for measles"

doubtfully. "They don't fly in the win
ter. Were they big ones?"
NO." said mamma, "but they were as
big as they ever would be-"
"Were they alive?"
mo, but they were lively" answered
mamma.
What were they made Off" asked the
little boy.
Paper" replied Mamma Leayitt.
Lets have some" So she took some
thin white paper and cut out two little
butterflies like Fig. c, and through the
dark spot in each head tied piece of
sewing silk about six inches long.
"You might get your water colors
and have these two butterflies any color
you choose" said mamma.
That seemed good idea to Sturgis,
and he colored them both light yellow.
"They are not SO pretty as when they
are other colors, but they look more
summerish when they are yellow" he
said.
When Sturgis had colored the butter
flies, mamma tied the loose ends, about
half an inch apart, TO long pencil and

Mamma looked and found some seal

the sealing wax almost two inches from
the butterflies, and to Sturgis' aston
ishment they flew to the wax.
They've gone to eat sealing wax" he
cried in surprise. But almost before he
has said it they flew back to the glass.
Then back to the wax they went. Three
or four times they flew, then they
seemed tired and settled down to rest
hanging under the pencil.
'"Let us give them some more life,"
said mamma.
So they rubbed the wax and the
chimney and sure enough the butter
flies were just as lively as ever.
What makes them fly, mamma?",

II noticed you decreased your popula-

Mr.. Sargent remarked. II understand
about 800 are leaving in the Stanley
Dollar and certainly 800 left in the Ala
media. This is going to make a show,
taking away people you are depending
on for your labor"
Mr.. Sargent believed IL the Commits
sion had its representative at New
York he could get some out of the mil
lions arriving there. Many a man
would rather come here, II he was told
of the conditions, than go to places on
the mainland where everything was
frozen up five months in the year.
80 far as the United States immigra-
ton service is concerned" Mr.. Sargent
said I'VE stand ready to do everything
we can to get immigration to come here
instead of the mainland. The talk there
now was about restricting, instead Of
encouraging, immigration. 1t would be
a great relief to divert some of the
aliens to these islands. i sometimes
wish, since coming here, that we could
have turned one of those vessels with
2200 people away to Honolulu"
NO CLASS LEGISLATION.
Mr.. Sargent, from knowledge of the
views of persons having positions far
superior to his as be put It, declared
that the. Chinese exclusion law would
not be relaxed so far as the labor ele-
ment was concerned. Neither would
there be any class legislation for the
benefit of this Territory. He remarked
on the unfortunate, az it was inoppor-
tune. agitation against the japanese
just when the President was success

between the warning nations. At the
same time he deprecated the subter-
fuge employed to lure Japanese from

Sargent said we might have canneries

statement about an agency at New

is a mistaken opinion about Italians.

season, but You would before long"
MODE OF ACTION.
Mr.. Sargent argued for European i'm
migration as a permanent source of ag-
ricultural labor, mentioning his boy
hood experience of farmers boys going
to work for neighbors when there was
nothing doing at home. Again he sug-
|
! gested the sending of an agent to Italy
who should have letter from the Gov
ernor and one perhaps from Mr.. Rossi
the Italian immigration agent at New
York.
AS to the objection of great distance
/ his experience was that where you
gave man opportunity to make a dollar
he would not be stuck for means OF
getting there. Mr.. Sargent advised
strongly against paying the passages OF
immigrants. One of the first and most
important things they should do was
to arrange for immigrant rates, both d.
rect from Palermo in Italy, or the most
convenient ports in the European
countries where immigrants might be
sought, and from mainland centers such
as New York, Galveston and San Fran

singing softly and caressing the rose

At an unexpected turn she almost

The gravity Of his manner saved the

Three months later Adam stood at
the gate Of paradise bitterly despond-

southern anger, he had accused the girl
of trihing with him. of making him the
sport of her summer pastime when she
had no heart to give him.
She had stood, straight and tall and

gown like his boyhoods idea of a
ghost
Then she spoke, and her voice was
cold ana touched Adams heated inn

Il should certainly never give any
man something for which he had not

from paradise

realized the true meaning of her

possessed his heart. Without Eve par

Now in the soft twilight he stood at
the garden gate looking toward the
dim old mansion half hidden in the
pines at Sunny slope.
He caught glimpse of a light in her
window. Nanny was likely putting
the room to rights.
