VETO ovERRIDEN.
The following veto message was re-
ceived from the Governor, but the bill
was passed over the veto by the
unanimous vote Q5) of the full Sen
ate:
A MESSAGE.
To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii:
Herewith I return Senate Bill No.
13S, entitled An Act to Provide Funds
for the Maintenance of Counties"
which I am unable to approve.
The bill requires the Territory to
make advances or loans to each of the
counties, in that, irrespective of
whether any county funds are in the
possession of the Territorial Treasury
the Auditor is obliged to issue a war
rant each month for a proportion of
the county's estimated revenues. And
the Treasurer will be obliged to pay
these warrants out of any funds he
may have in the Treasury, without
regard to the purpose for which these
funds Were. collected. Thus if there
happens to be just enough money in
the Territorial Treasury TO meet these
warrants making advances to the
counties. it will be absorbed for this
purpose, and thereafter warrants is
sued in payment of Territorial obliga-
tions will have to be registered, and
interest paid on the same.
This feature is clearly Objectionable,
and 1 doubt if any Legislature has
the right to put the money collected
from the taxpayers for Territorial pur-
poses to any such use.

Governor.

Act. our Delegate to Congress be and
is hereby earnestly requested to use

Act passed at the next session of the
Congress of the United States;
Resolved: That a copy of this
be transmitted by the Sec

The BOyleSs Town.

A cross old woman Of long ago
Declared that she hated noise
'The town would be very pleasant you know
II only there we're no boys
She scolded and fretied about i; ill.
Her eyes grew heavy as lead.
And then. of a sudden. the town grew still;
For all the boys had fed.
And all tn rough the long and dusty street
There wasn't a boy in view
The baseball lot where they used to meet
Was sigh, to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made:
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day
Why should they bark or leap
There wasn't a whistle or call TO play.
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall.
And longed for saddle and rein
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees
And nobody had a single taste.
Save only the birds and bees
There wasn't messenger boy-not one
To speed as such messengers can
II people wanted their erands done
They sent for a messenger man.
There was little. / ween. of frolic and noise
There was less Of cheer and mirSh;
The sad old town since It lacked its boys.
Was the drearieSt thing on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep,
Then woke with a sudden scream;
Dear me !" she cried Il have been asleep,
And, oh. what horrid dream"

a Rich Man.

Once in New England. says writ
er in the Outlook, was driving with
an old farmer, and some of the men
in the neighborhood came under crit
icism Speaking of a prominent man
in the village, asked, "Is he a man
of means p
"Well, sir" the farmer replied, "he
amt got much money, but he's mighty
rich.
He has great deal oflsnd, then p
I asked.
mo, cir, he amt got much land,
neither, but still he's mighty rich"
The old farmer, with pleased
smile. observed my puzzled face and
explained:
you gee, he amt got much money,
and he amt got much land, but still
he is rich, because he never went to
bed owing anybody cent in all his
life. He lives az well as he wants to
live, and he pays a. he goes he does
Mt owe anything, and he amt afraid
of anybody he tells every man the
truth, and he does his duty by HIM
self, his family, and his neighbors, his
word is as good as a bond, and every
man, woman and child in the town
looks up to him and respects him.
No, sir, he amt got much money, and
he amt got much land, but still he ls
a mighty rich man because he's got
all he needs and all he wants.
assented to the old farmers de-
ductions, for | thought them entirely
correct. When man has all he needs
and all he wants he is certainly rich,
and when he lacks these things then
he is certainly poor.

Senator Grady tells Of the follow.
ing incident with great delight, says
the New York Times:
A boy was about to enter the Metro
politsn Museum of Art, carrying in
his hand a large bag apparently well
filed.
What have you got in that bsg?'
said the doorkeePer.
"Oranges, replied the boy. "a
dozen Of EN-. Want ope2"
No; and you cant bring them in
here
"Why not?"
"It's against the rules; but you can
have them checked"
The boy stood thinking for a mo-
ment and then slowly went outside.
In about fifteen minutes be was back
minus the bag.
"Guess can 90 in now, can't I2'
be asked.
"Hold on. Have you got those
oranges concealed about your person
"Yes. sir; all 'cePt the skins. /

The boy got in.

The Inner Light.

A famous lady who once reigned in
Paris society was 20 plain when she
was girl that her mother one day
said to her after gazing at her for
long time with distressed expression,
"My poor child, fear il will be very
hard for you TO win love in this world,
indeed even 10 make friends T.
1t was from that hour that the sue
cess of this woman, known TO the
world az Nine. de Circourt, dated.
For little time she took the matter
sorely TO heart. Then humbly, but
sweetlY and untiringly, she began to
be kind-kind to the pauper children
Of her native village, to the servants
of her household, even the birds that
hoped about the garden walks. Moth
ing 20 distressed her az not to be able
30 render a service.
As the years wore on her good will
toward every one made her the idol
Of the great city which was eventual
ly her home Although her complex
ion was sallow. her gray eyes small
and sunkeo, yet she held in devotion
to her some OF the most noted men Of
her time. Her lifelong nnselhshness
and interest in others made her, il is
said, irresistible. and young and old
forgot the plsinness Of her features in
the loveIiness Of her life.

A Life Saved by Self Control.

The dinner was just finished, and
several officers were sitting around
the table. The conversation had not
been animated, and there came a lull,
as the night was too hot for small.
talk. The major OF the regiment, a
man of ffty-fve, turned toward his
next neighbor at the table, young
subaltern, who was leaning back IN
his chair with his hands clasped be-
hind his head. The major was slow
ly looking the man over, from his
handsome face down, when with sud
den alertness, and in quiet, steady
voice, he sand
Don't move, please, Mr. Caruth-
ers, l want to try an experiment with
you. Don't move a muscle"
"All right, major, replied the sub
altern, without even turning his eyes;
hadn't the least idea of moving.
What's the gamer"
By this time all the others were
listening in lazIly expectant way.
"Do you think" continued the ma
ior, and his voice now trembled lit
tie, "that you can keep absolutely
still, for say, two minutes, to save
your life?"
"Are you joking2"
Quite to the contrary" was the
quiet reply, move muscle and you
are a dead man. Can you stand the
strain2"
The subaltern whispered "Y es, "
and his face paIed slightly.
Burke" said the major, address
ing an officer, pour some Of that
milk into a saucer and set it on the
floor here just behind me. Gently,
man. Quiet !"
Not a word was spoken as the Off
Ger quietly filled the saucer, walked
with it around the table and set it
down where the major had indicated.
Like a marble statue sat the young
subaltern, in his white linen clothes,
while cobra de capella, which had
been crawling up the leg of his trous-
ers, slowly raised its head then turn
ed, descended to the floor, and glided
towards the milk. SUDDENLY the 81
lence was broken by the report Of the
majors revolver, and the snake lay
dead on the floor.
Thank you, major" said the sub
altern, as the two men shook hands
warmly, you saved my lifel"
You're welcome, my boy, replied
the senior, "but you did your share.

The Cause of Bad Temper.

1.-The idea that thin persons are
more irritable than fat ones has some
foundation in fact, said an old ply
siclan. "But the thinness is gener.
ally due to the irritability and not
vice versa. The great mistake is in
supposing that querulous disposition
is natural and inherited. The peev-
ish and fretful child could be brought
to an amiable and good tempered ma
turity fits needs were understood and
attended to. 1t does not whimper
from sheer perversity. More than
half the bad temper in the world is
due to neglect of this kind.
THE child's disposition is warped
in infancy, and it grows up with a
twist in It's temper and disposition
to look on the black side Of things.
Instead Of growing plump and rosy,
the continual irritation keeps it thin,
pale and 'spindly. Now this is
matter of special importance to wo-
men, because with their finer organi-
astion, fretting and worrying have
far more destructive effect than in the
case OF men. They spoil their good
looks, dissipate their vitality and be-
come 'scraggY. Mothers who have
fretful children should use every ef-
fort to find the remedy, especially
when the children are girls"
