What a Hairpin Will Do.

The wife of a Kansas farmer
got tired of asking him to fix
things about the house that needed
fixing, and one day after he had
come home from town, told him
she had done the work herself.
"And you know" she said, "the
drawer that was locked for over a
month and which you said couldn't
be opened except by locksmith?
Well' triumpbantiy, II opened
it."
swell, we'll! How in the world
did you do it?"
With a hairpin. And the oven
door," she continued, "has been
slipping around on one hinge for
ever so long. just because you
were too lazy to fix it, but it's all
right now.
"WelI, I'm glad you had it fix"
Had it fixed! / fix it myself with
a hairpin, and that crsyon portrait
of mother that stood in. the corner
for almost six solid weeks, because.
you never would bring me any pic
ture hooks-I got it up with q
hook / made myself-out of a
hairpin."
swell, WE'LL" was all be could
say.
"And there's Willie, you've been
coaxing him and bribing him for
over a year trying to break him
of biting his nails, and l broke
him in a week"
with a hair pin?" he inquired.
"No! she snapped. Don't be a
goose! With q hairbrusb.'

Smart Boy

Old Joe, a farmer. was noted for
the many ways he had of skimp-
ing and saving. One day he hir-
ed big country boy to help him
with his work. The boy reported
for duty at $50 o'clock in the
morning. and Old Joe sat him
down to breakfast. After the lad
bad finished the meal. the sharp
old farmer said. "What do you
say if we eat dinner while We are
at it?"
As the boy agreed they fell to
and ate little more. Then see-
ing that The youngster could eat
no more Old Joe suggested. "Snp-
pose wo finish up and eat supper,

"All right" assented the lad,
and he managed to swallow an
other crust of bread.

W. j. Bryan does not believe in
prostituting the name and the
principles of Democratic 60
vernment to catch votes and public
Office. He knows that time serving
and opportunism constitute the
worst dangers that menance
the republic and the welfare of
the people. and in expressing bis
views with a boldness that has
never been surpassed in its best
days and by its greatest men, he
revives an example which the peo-
pie should require every candidate
for public Office, aud every political
party in their platforms. to en-
ulste. From such expressions the
people would soon acquire the
habit of differentiating between
the men and the political parties
worthy of confidence. and to
govern their ballots accordingly.
The candidate who wants the
Office only for what it is to bring
him is not the one whom the peo-
pie should elect; neither the one
who hes been tried upon the pro-
misses he has made and been found
wanting. The election of Bryan
would exercise an iucalculable in-
fluence in uplifting the best
ideals Of the people. -TheP People.

The light OF many stars
Quivers in tremulous softness in the air,
And the night breeze il singing here and there
Yet from my prison bars
A narrow strip of sky is all I zee,
Oh! that kindly hand would set me free.
The bright new moon 10 hung,
Up. mid the softness of the fieecy clouds.
And the far ocean meath its foaming shrouds
Shrills like hard fresh strung.
And the wild sea birds on quick piuions fly,
Oh! for one glance upon the blue sea.

CAUSE OF SOCIAL DISORDER.
The campaign for improving the

poverished millions is creating much
serious discussion The following in
dictment appeared in one of the lead
ing papers in England: 1--WE have to
| face the fact that the spring of all
our social disorder is the divorce of
the people from the land. Less than
a million souls are today engaged in
agriculture in this country. Forty
years ago, when the population was
not more than half what it is today
| there We're two million country resi-
dents. This means that the whole
| character of our race is being changed.
| We are becoming an exclusively town
| bred people. And why? The people
are here, huddled together and asking
for work The land is there. delivered
over to cattle and deer. 1t is not that
the people will not work nor that the
land is unproductive. Its simply the
system of landlordism which sewers the
/ people from the soil and drives them
| into the slums of the cities in order
| that the country may remain a green
solitude to be used as a pleasure
ground for the rich. Will the govern
ment ever attack this Upas tree at it's

| Uncle Sans first complete modern
military post in the Pacific is rapidly
| approaching the finishing stages at
| Kahauiki, the plateau rising between
Kalihi and Moanalua.
/ Twenty-seven buildings, which will
house the officers and enlisted men, the
stores. post equipment, ammunition,
| horses, mules and general gear are all
constructed. and the ultimate details
are now getting attention. The build
irgs and their arrangement are such
as to indicate that the post will be an
ideal one
odd enough, the first building which
one encounters in approaching the en-
trance TO the post is the guardhouse.
It's whole appearance suggests it's pur-
pose. 1t is somewhat different in plan
from the rest of the buildings, the pill
lars of the veranda supporting the ex-
tended roor peIng constructed entirely
of concrete, the guard rooms also being
of the same material.
The other buildings are frame, mostly.
randa of more or less extent, the pill
lars being of the small Mexican style.
At the left of the entrance from the
Moanalua road is the guardhouSe. At
the right is the Storehouse. The bar
racks, administration building and Of
fcers' quarters are arranged about
pear-shaped space. This space will be
devoted to parade ground. The adj
ministration building is at the upper
end of the ellipsis. facing down toward
entrance. On the lower side of the Mo-
analua road is the hospital and attend
ants buildings.
The buildings, while of the same de-
sign generally as modern post struc-
lures on the mainland are we'll adapted
to this climate.
Nothing has been done so far to pre-
pare the extensive grounds of the post.

The post would have been completed
about next month but for delays in re-

upon the San Francisco disaster. How !
ever, the work is being prosecuted Wig

Things are indeed getting in q bad
way when you pick up a morning paper

and see that this is only one of many

pect that the workers for the cause of

too highly in making their appeal to

THE MAN IN THE STREET.

On the corner near my hotel there
| was stationed each morning a group
! of three mendicants, who were fair
(! types of the rapidly swelling class of
unfortunates that English society will
have to answer for. The man was a
STOPPING, haggard wreck, holding out
his shaking ernaciated hands in a mute
appeal toward the crowd that for the
most part pushed by without even
pausing to look at him. The woman
was a disheveled, slovenly creature,
who looked on with silly grin as if the
appeal of her woe-begone husband was
q joke. Graded in a dirty soap box,
on the sidewalk between them, was a
frail, shrunken tot whose poor little
body was a horrible exaggeration Of
the physical and mental defects of it's
parents. The unutterable woe Of this
grotesque group, standing there in
their dropping rags, was all the more
appealing on account of the knowledge
that they were not a remote case of
degenerate penury, but that London
swarms with their like. Seeing that
England has fostered the system that
has caused these social derelicts, one
wonders how she will manage to solve
the problem of their being.

About this poem Mr.. Carruth has re-

The ripe rich tint of the corn

And the wild geese sailing high
And all over upland and lowland

And others call it God.
Like tides on crescent sea-beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging in
Come from the mystic ocean.

And theirs call it God.
