academic courses, but it is the ex-
ceptional mother. who does not long
and plan and work for her son to
enjoy the college training.
Confident of your friendship our
Texas mothers lay before you today
two problems that confront us. The
time has come when we crave col
lege life for our daughters as we'll
as for our sons; ii is claimed that
the ideal college for women does
not exist. We want Trinity Univer-
sity to give us this ideal. Our best
men and women are agreed that
every girl should be trained for the
richest. broadcast life, which means
that she must be trained for wife
hood, motherhood, home-making and
housekeeping. Is there a college to-
day. except those of the industrial
type, that recognizes as the basis of
its curriculum the truth of the above
statement? When co-education came
to us, was the course of study chang
ed or were our girls given simply
the courses our boys had taken? If
a man is to become an electrician,
a lawyer, a doctor. he shapes his
course accordingly. We know the
great majority of our daughters are
to be wives and mothers, but we do
not prepare them for these pro-
LESSONS. The general culture af-
forded by a college course trains
the mind and makes it more com
petent to grasp every condition, to
meet every emergency, bat we need
more than this; we need specific
high schools and college instruction
in the art and science of home-mak-
ing. Hundreds of people, especially
gentlemen, will say, "A girl should
learn these things at home from her
mother" and this sounds plausible,
but we would beg you to consider
two arguments in favor of our po-
sition.
l. The profession of home-mak-
| ing will be infinitely ennobled in
the eyes of our young people as soon
as the great colleges place ii on a
plane with other vocations and offer
special preparation for it.
2. We mothers do not feel that,
| unaided We are capable of prepar-
ing our daughters for the varied do
nestle problems that will confront
them. Did you ever stop to think
how many household complexities
we face that our mothers and grand
mothers knew nothing of? We must
study plumbing, sewerage, drainage,
and, above all, the pure food ques-
ton. When the United States gov
eminent deems it duty to warn the
people of the terrific growth of food
| authorizations, we may well deem it
| a danger signal. You and / would
have been saved mistakes. would
| have brought up more robust chill
dren. would have stood the strain
of life better. had we learned in col
lege the proper value of foods and
| the test for purity of food, the ways
and means and the dangers of plumb

MORE EVIDENCE.
IT IS COMING IN RAPIDLY IN
HONOLULU.

Evidence on the following subject
will prove of interest to every Homo
lulu reader. So many people go through
the same experience daily. This pub
lie statement should be proof positive
to every wavering doubter. Read it
carefully.
Charles Comey, of Cyclomere street,
this city, one of the many persons who
have tried Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills with great advantage, relates
his experience thus: 81 have been a
hack driver for a number of years past
and this is an occupation in which,
through exposure to weather and much
jumping up and down from the vehi-
Gle, one is particularly liable to kidney
complaint. / suffered myself from a
lame back for a long while, and in my
anxiety to get rid of it tried several
of my trouble. An advertisement ac-
quainted me with what grand work
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were
doing, and / got some of them at the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'s store. I used
them and with very much profit, for
they reueve>- my back wonderfully. -
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are

on receipt of price, so cents per box,

A G. VI. Robertson had previously
testified. His account of interviews
and conferences agreed With the story
later told by Hustace. one day he
saw a deed from Frank Hustace to
Charles Hustace Jr., which his partner,
now Justice A A. Wilder had drawn,
but il did not occur TO him to connect
the document with the previous con-
versation in their office about the
proposition that Hustace should trans
fer his property. Robertson also told
of receiving $50 from Magoon TO give
TO Hustace, just after the Supreme
Court had decided the Dee-Smith case
with incidental reflections on the re-
spondent.

time, gave evidence regarding the exc

turn the popular desire for literary
fame to their advantage.
1T is the greatest graft that ever
happened, my boy" said one of the
most cold-blooded of these rogues, as
he boosted of his achievements. I'VE
have our hands on the most potent
valve of the human mind-the conceit
of literary authorship-and when we
press the button the money is sure to
follow We keep a sharp lookout as
soon as we learn of an aspiring author
who is engaged upon a 'magnum opus
or has had one turned down by big
publisher, we camp on his trail, and
we never let up till we land him.
''Of course we adopt a stand-offish'
policy as soon as he begins to nibble,
tell him that we can neverconsider his
book until it has run the gauntlet of our
readers and critics. but that is only for
the purpose of increasing his own be-
lief in its great qualities. Lord bless
you. if it is the veriest rot ever penned
we will handle it. An adverse criticism
upon book is an unknown quantity in
our shop.
Then we inform him that the ex-
pense of publication will be about
$500, which we expect him to stand. He
demurs, whereupon we ask him how
many copies he thinks he can dispose
of himself. Incautiously and ignorant
ly he estimates the number 600 In
reality, if he has good luck and lots of
friends he can sell about so. We show
him, however, that by his own state
ment he will be able to publish at his
own risk to much better advantage
than if we offered him terms, and so he
is at last firmly hooked.
That $500 is merely a first contribu-
ton. though. He speedily finds that his
must be thoroughly re-
vised, corrected and punctuated, at a
cost of 500: illustrations must be Sc
cured, the proof must be read and
hundred other little things done, each
of which has its separate fee. l may
say that I never let an author get away
from me for less than $500
Finally. when he is MIXED dry. we
turn over 1000 printed and bound
books to him and give our attention to
a fresh victim
DO they ever come back with a sec
ond book?"
Never. That is the sole drawback
to the business. One never has the
chance to make steady connections.
