fair to be broken next season. There

Yes; but just exactly what is meant by

affair, their code of morality anything
but high. The Jap quarters in Homo

The men are as conceited and aggressive
as they are tickle; the Jap character is
not held in highest esteem by the whites
in Hawaii. Sad experience has lessened
enthusiasm for this coolie Importation.
And regarding our civilization, the
Japanese feel they know very well how
much they wish to adopt, how much
leave alone. A Japanese paper pub
iished in the islands, the Hawaii Shin
po, a short time ago had an editorial
which may be interpreted after this
fashion: Eyes, 1--WE are very willing to

can civilization to the Hawaiian were

there entered their field Christians Of

FEVER BROUGHT POSTCARDS
Young Woman Frustrated by Ty-
phoid Receives Them from All
Over the World.

There is a. certain young woman in
New York who can thank typhoid
fever for giving her remarkably fine
collection of souvenir postal cards.
Since her illness began, and she was
taken to hospital, her family and
friends have entertained and cheerad
her UP by mail, whenever visiting was
not considered judicious. She is not
strong enough to read letters, but she
delights in looking at pictures, and
her friends literally ransack the shops
looking for novel and pretty picture
postcards.
The result is, states the New York
Press, that she has full set of New
York views, including street scenes,
the parks, the principal churches.
monuments, the water front and near
by beaches. All friends or acquaint-
ances going away are requested to
send her something, so her collection
includes mountain scenery, lakes, sea-
shore views and places of interest in
other towns. The seeker for these
postcards will find all sorts of views
as well, from the Scottish crags and
lakes, to the Alps, from Margate and
Brighton to Trouville, Paris, London,
Japan, Rome and Naples. Then there
are the illustrated songs and the
English jokes, the new Yiddish cards.
and great variety of beautiful cards
with floral designs.
Many of the best and most popular
works of art are now reproduced on
postal cards in all the original colors.
In fact, there is hardly anything that
can't be found on postal card these
days, and the sale is steadily increas-
ing. For the sick nothing could be
more appropriate, for they interest a..
a glance, they please the eye without
taxing the intellect, and they beguils
