The little folks who are organized in
the L. T L. Society, sung several pathe-

the right way of living. One evidence of
its effect is that we don't see the little
boys smoking cigarettes.

If you want to ruin your boy
just take his side on every question
and dispute he has with his teacher
or your neighbors' children. Just
let him know you are with him,
right or wrong, in all his disputes.
This will give him good start in
the downward path.

THERE is trouble brewing for those
who sell to, or sell to those who
buy liquor for boys in the town ol
Milford. Every bar tender in the
town knows who these people are,
and the temperance folks purpose
entering a crusade against the hotels
generally for this offence; and, the
evidence will not be difficult to get.
In the town of Dover there is one
hotel man who has broken this up
efectually. He simply takes the
name of the boy, or boys, and then
goes to the parents, and inquiries
the boys age; if it is less than twen-
ty-one, the parent is told, that their
son must be kept away from the
bar-room of that particular hotel.
This makes the boy mad of course,
but it prevents trouble for the hotel
man just the same. We suggest to
the proprietors ofthe three hotels in
that they try this plan here.

! Berkeley has set society agog when
! they recalled the times that Mrs. Ash

She was Miss Mary Coney of one of
the most aristocratic families to be
found in the Hawaiian Islands. Frank
Ashton capitalist from the United
States, courted and won the fair Miss
Coney They lived happily for two
years. when Mrs. Ashton came into
public notice by a sensational divorce
suit. It was shown in the evidence
that she had been in correspondence
with Rear Admiral Merry of the Unit
ed States navy. The letters written by
the naval officer to Mrs. Ashton caused
some of the sensations of the trial.
a divorce was granted, but Ashton
would not be parted from his little
daughter, Leonine, whom the court
awarded to Mrs. Ashton, and one night
about two years ago took her and ran
away with her. The sensational kid
naping of the child. coupled with the
fact that Mrs. Ashton pursued her
former husband and daughter through
Mexico and all along the coast and IL
nalIy overlook them at Seattle, occu-
pied public attention at the time.
Finally the reconciliation between
herself and her former husband, Ash
ton. resulting in their remarriage az
Redwood City, brought the Honolulu
woman again into public notice
The next chapter in the life of Mrs.
Ashton took place last winter, when
Ashton was drowned near the Alameda
mole.
