Corporation Official Given Plain Hints
by a Well Wisher.
Some months ago an officer holding
an important executive post in one
of the greater corporations received
kindly, almost neighborly, call from
one Of his fellow directors. This Off
Ger had returned from a brief vaca'
ton trip. The fellow director said to
him that In view of their long friend
ship and their respect and admiration
each for the ability and achievements
of the other, he was going to speak
somewhat plainly to that officer Then
he put this question bluntly to him:
"What would you be willing to pay
to keep your placer
It seemed a strange question. Inc
executive officer did not know at first
what to make Of 1t. He saw, Of course
that there was some kindly, although
hidden, purpose in the question ana
so he answered in the spirit in which
the inquiry was put. He said that, OF

continued.
Then the officer was told that while

Of the most famous of the war Gov
ernors and one Of the ablest. He

than any other in the State, ts known

4 Day OF ROSES.


S7 SCENT of roses made Aylmer
X9A think Of something that was
~ over long ago and that he had
almost forgotten. The roses were ev-
erywhere in the drawing room he had
just entered. They stood in Jars on
the mantelpiece. Flat bowls held them
on tables, and singly in slender vases
they were to be seen here and there
among the china and the odds ana
ends Of silver and enamel, and deli
and marble that filed the dainty room.
Audrey had loved roses. There was
one day in the little cottage under the
beech trees where Aylmer had spent
many an hour that seemed of a sudden
passing happy now-one day which he

and had narrow escapes in plenty. For
his heroic conduct he was offered a
brigadier generals commission, which
he declined. He was the only Govern
or IN the battle and Rhode Island re-
elected him to the position twice after
he had taken the field. During the
Peninsular campaign and the siege of
Yorktown he also took part and added
to his reputation as fearless and able
officer. He served in the United States
Senate after the war and is now pass
ing the evening of his days at Nara
gsnsett Pier in his native State, which
he has served in SO many ways and al
ways to its honor and glory.

Baseball Today.

At 1870 p. m. today on the league
baseball grounds the championship
team from Maui will play against the
H. A. Cs. The expectancy of the fans
is to see a rafting good game, for the
Mauis have come here with a redoubt-
able reputation. Those who have been
to Maui and played ball there with
the Mauites know that they can put
up a good game.
The Mauis in making the match ORR
ginally barred Joy and Reuter- from
going to the box. Yesterday they said
something about not wanting Desha
in the box or Sheldon on one of the
bags. The H A. c. said it is Desha
and Sheldon or no ball, and the Maui
boys felt satisfied to take the H. A. G.
team as it has been made up.
Bert Bowers will umpire, so the Ma
III boys needn't growl about decisions,
for Bert is Al.
Owing to the cowboy tournament to
take place later in the afternoon the
two teams will begin actual playing at
100 sharp.
