day she will have use for them
all.
OF course, she never will Year
after year will go by and only in
imagination will the garments in
question ever be used again. The
trunks and boxes will overflow and
meanwhile there will be needy
families suffering for the apparel
going TO waste in her storeroom.
Perhaps no other occasion in the
housekeeper's experience calls for
greater firmnesS and determination
than this, and if she only would,
every woman could make it an op-
portunity for the development Of
these necessary character qualities.
Women have a penchant for
clinging to their belongings, even
when the articles have outgrown
their usefulness. Nor are men by
any means exempt from this weak
ness. 1t seems to be a tendency
of human beings to burden them
selves with possessions-to incum-
Der themselves with things"
The prevailing idea that keeping
clutch upon ones belongings de-
notes an economical disposition is
entirely erroneous. Such habit
indicates, rather, a miserly spirit
Reduced to its exact analysis the
instinct is identical with the reluc-
tance felt by stingy nature in
parting with a dollar
Because ones belongings repre-
sent money is no reason one should
hoard them after they are no longer
useful. The practice is an evidence
of selfishness-an indulgence Of
weakness-and needs to be cut off
like any other unworthy habit.
So much of the care and worry

That court was a

There was a law in

GOVERNOR CARTER INVITED
TO TOURIST CONFERENCE

On q special letterhead Of the Com
n7ercial Club, with the special commit
tees names and its notto-''see Eu-
rope i you VIII but see America first
printed in red ink. the following in
viration has been sent to Governor
Garter:
Sal Lake City, Dec. s, 1905.
Hon. George R. Carter, Governor Of
the Territory Of Hawaii, Honolulu,
Territory Of Hawaii
Sir: We have the honor TO respect
fully invite the attention of your Elk
cellency to the movement inaugurated
by the Commercial Club Of this City
looking 10 q possible diversion into
western cannels of at least a part OF
the enormous sum of money now be-
ing expended each year in foreign
countries by American citizens in
search o. health, pleasure and recrea-
ton.
A thorough and conservative in
vestigation made Of this question by
This Committee establishes the fact
that n 1904 the sum OF $50 600 900 was
thus expended. In addition to this
returning tourists paid duty at the
New York custom house alone. on ar
ticles purchased abroad to the amount
OF $40,000.00o. In other words Amer
lean sightseers scattered over foreign
countries in the year named $3.50, 900, 600
Of American money, all Of which was
thus lost forever TO the nation s
wealth
We think your ExceIIency WIZ readi-
y appreciate the fact that any mate
rial part OF this sum diverted into
! trans-Mississippi trade and commerce
would not only tend to the more rapid
upbuilding Of that great section, but
would bring about a better understands
ing OF the vast possibilities OF western
industrial investment
This Committee IS Of the opinion that
this great saving OF the nations wealth
for the nations use can be accomplish
ed. and with that idea IN mind a Con-
ference OF trans Mississippi business
interests has been called for January
%. 1906. at Salt Lake City At that
time the Commercial Club VIII be pre-
pared TO present for consideration a
detailed and comprehensive plan of
procedure, subject TO such changes

''SPEAk Of
THE DEVIL j
Coincidence at Central
Fire Station Last
Two Nights.

Yes. Chief Thurston and I were
talking about fire matters last night
just when the gong sounded for the
Davies fire. and
Assistant Fire Chief Deering got no
further for al that instant, last even
ing about o'clock, the big gong in the
central station whanged out in cold.
metallic strokes-27, and the indicator
recorded the number of the box. Il
was a strange coincidence and even
Deering looked surprised.
At that time the firemen, not on duty
within the apparatus hall. We're sitting
/ about the building, joking and talking
quietly. In an instant there was a
scurryfng of blue-uniformed men TO-
ward their respective machines. They
We're agile. The drivers Ieaped into the
seats and took the reins- The men
who run with the machines guided
| the horses quickly beneath the harness
and snapped the automatic clutches in
TO place.
! Meanwhile Deering stood calmly be
meath the indicator, his eyes rowing
about the hall to see that every man
was getting to his place of duty. The
| number is sounded twice before the
/ doors are opened to let the horses out
| Every man was on the qui vive, but
not a horse or person moved, until
! Deering suddenly called out in a loud
voice:
Twenty seven-Queen and South
street,
With that announcement the assistant
chief leaped for the nearest hose wagon,
climbed over the hose and before the
machine was fairly out of the door he
was on the seat beside the driver. The
men pulled on their tfghting-togs'
rubber boots and dungarees-as the
machines went careening down the
street. The horses were let out on the
dead gaIlop and at times when the ap-
paratus swung around a corner It
seemed a marvel that the drivers had
control Of their charges.
There is an element Of bravery
among firemen which cannot be seen
among many other groups of men ex-
posed to dangers. Take the Davies fire
on Saturday night as an example.
When the hosemen came on the scene
the corrugated iron structure was al
most in a white heat, The interior was
a vast. roaring furnace Across the
street the lookers-on mopped their
heads and held their hats before their
faces to ward off the heat. When
fireman finally worked the doors open
flames rushed out and then retreated
a little.
Go on in.''
1t was the command Of the chief and
had TO be obeyed. In the hosemen
went without question. They played
the water directly into the flames be-
fore them, occasionally throwing the
stream on the door that the spray
might wet them down.
Go in further"
The same obedience marked the re-
Spouse to this command, Not a man
hinched and the chief set an example
by staying with his men. Firenen are
not towards. Theirs is a bravery even
more commenda BILE than a soldiers, for |
death in the flames is horrible TO con-
template. And there the men stayed
until a falling roof forced them out on
the sidewalk, or until the fire mad been |
subdued.
Honolulu certainly has brave lot Of
men to wear the fire helmets.

Out from the East a sudden chill,
Out from the East boding cloud
Hung 'er the city like shroud
Presage Of some new-coming Ill;
a few short days Of doubt and dread,
Alternating with hope and fear,
Then flashed thro' space the message drear,
The dolefuI news that he was dead
That he was gone past all recall,
Life 5 golden pages yet unturned;
The hopes that glowed, the thoughts that burned
Cold IS the form beneath that pail:
Cut of IN manhood's vernal prime
On fate untimely, harsh, unjust!
Lies fairest blossoms turned to dust,
Its sweetest notes to funeral chime.
Alas that Death had power to claim
The young the staIwart, true and brave;
That love could naught avail to save,
Nor wealth nor science foil his aim;
So young to die, and life aglow
With blessings manifold and great;
The cruel irony of fate
In this did all too sadly show.
His was the Teuton s native sense,
The Teuton's strength and depth of thought;
IN all he spake, in all he wrought,
He stood fer worth and scorned pretense:
OF mind as gen 'rous as his hand;
Transformations of great wealth;
The good he did by modest stealth
Bespoke the kindly Fatherland.
IN moving councils of his house.
Where late he held an honored seat
That pregnant brain more viii beat,
No more those earnest tones arouse.
The rest is silenee' But for those
His comrades thro' the fret and strife,
Full oft viii memory point his life
And some half hidden worth disclose
N far Of homes across the sea
There, too the notes of mourning fall.
There Love and Friendship vainly call
IN sympathetic unity;
Heart walls TO heart from strand 10 strand,
A common sorrow moves their strings
and grief o 'erspreads her sable wings
IN island home and Fatherland.
The race is Ger; the goal is won;
His spirit upward wings its fight
To realms Of never-ending light.
Beyond the stars, beyond the sun;
4 Paradise unwrought of hand,
a home of deathless peace and love,
The Christians hope all else above
