GLOBE SIGHTS.

LFrom the Atchison Globe.
Every bachelor secretly thinks he
would make a good husband.
Somehow, we always want to buy
something frivolous on circus day.
If you deliver the goods, a well pay
ing job is always gaping open for you.
What has become of the old fash
toned man who wore bed ticking sus-
penders2
Don't forget that the average man
recognizes a case of work as soon as
it turns the corner.

It is Mrs Lysander John Appleton's
proud boast that she is such a good
speller that she can spell every word
in the English language at least three
ways.
When there is any borrowing to be
done from a neighbor, even the good
husband who wheels the baby buggy
and lights the fires, refuses to do If.
When 6. girl and her lover quarrel
and break the engagement, the father
who saw a costly wedding ahead,
doesn't feel as sorry over the tragedy
as one would expect
One of the common sights in sum-
mer Is a young man and woman sit
ting together in a hammock, and one
Of the uncommon sights is to see a
husband and wife occupying one.
An Atchison man who wants to be
Loved By All recently sent hammocks
to all the young people in his neigh
borhood. He said he had noticed that
young people liked to have ham
mocks to sit IN late at night and
laugh and scream: the fact that a
hammock occasionally tumbled its oc-
cupants out made it so much more
lively and entertaining than a porch.
Therefore, as he didn't care to sleep
nights anyway and wanted to be Loved
BY All. he hoped the young people
would accept the hammocks and use
them TIL at least two every morning.

In the city of New Orleans are ap-
proximately one hundred thousand
white men and boys. OF these, one.
thousand five hundred=three out of
every two hundred you meet on the
street-are dependent for their educa-
ton this year, for the opportunity to
learn to read and to write and so to
advance their station in life-for all
this absolutely dependent on one Wo-
man. This woman. whose importance
to the city is so great that If by and
sad chance her activity were to cease,
one and one-half per cent. of its white
male population would find itself de-
prived Of hope, is not rich, but poor.
She is so poor that before she can give
an hour and q dollar for the helpless
ones who need her, she must give an
other to pay her own expenses for the
day. She is so poor that she has even
earned her own education as she has
given it out, studying sometimes but a
day ahead of her pupils. She is frail,
crippled, very weak; she goes about in
a steel harness and on clutches.
Though she is still under middle age,
her hair is white as snow, from days
and nights OF unbelievable suffering
From morning till midafternoon she
teaches in a private school to earn
money for her charities. From mid
afternoon until evening If able to
work, she devotes herself to the needs
of those poorer than she. From sup
perfume till nine, till ten, till midnight
if need be. she faces the multitude Of
men and boys-boys of nine and men
of f1fty-who have come to her for
help. Sometimes two in a seat, some
times on boards between the seats
sometimes on the edges of platforms
and the treacs of stairways and against
the walls Of the Railways, they crowd
her school house, while she and her
assistants are everywhere among
them. hearing recitations, giving aid
and counsel, explaining, arguing,
laughing, uraging-stirring the

Earthquake reflections.

There is no better established fact in
the history of earth than that Cali
fornia in ages past has been the thea
tire of some of the most tremendous
displays of volcanic energy. There are
square miles of lava beds in the north;
mountains composed entirely Of stones,
polished and immense, in the interior;
innumerable remnants of craters ana
cones; miles of hills that look to this
day like waves Of arrested lava cover
ed with a thin skin of soil, where no
tree grows; to say nothing Of the tale
told in the layers of rock that may be
seen on many a bare mountain side.
We have here in the north-and not
to mention the hundreds of small and
nameless cones-three great peaks
Diablo, St. Helena, and ShaSta,-that
are believed to have been active vol
canoes in. the unwritten period of Cali
foInia's long and energetic story. Re
garding Shasta there is no manner of
doubt and during the earthquake I
wondered If she were in eruption; for
only a month before persons in her
neighborhood were much alarmed at
the phenomenon of snow melting on one
of her tanks as quickly as 1t fell.
A year before the eruption of Pelee,
supposed to be extinct, and of the vol
cano on St. Vincent, I was in the West
Indies, and heard constant talk of the
island of MOnSerrat which had shaken
for four months almost without pause.
Last Winter-Winthin a brief period
there were 90 distinct tremors in this
part Of California-some 13 months be-
fore the strange CONFUSION of April 1S
May it not be that our lava tides are
rising again? The splitting asunder Of
the Santa Cruz mountains and the
Sobrante hills, as unusual an accom-
paniment as the earthquake itself may
be a result of the bulge of the crawling
monster in the channels beneath. ShaS-
ia is it's natural destination. Should
this be so, and this uneasy mass vomit
itself through the volcano far in the
north, might it not mean the future
peace of San Francisco? True, she
might have her old tremors, but they
have not hurt her-not even the great
earthquake of 1863, which was nearly
twice as long as our last, and was
followed by several weeks Of constant
and considerable vibrations. If this
last and most malefic CONFUSION in
her known history were caused by re-
turning volcanic forces, the opened lid
of the northern pot would at least pre-
serve her from another disastrous
shaking up.-Gertrude Altherton, in
Har0er'S Weekly.

KANSAS COMAENT



With the exception Of one newspaper
whose pay roll is said to be carried as
an expense item by a big railroad COM
pany, every newspaper in Kansas seems
to have found something good to say of
the appointment of Judge Benson as
senator While the consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that Senator Benson
viii have but little chance to make
much of the showing in so short a time
as the national congress will be in ses-
sion, what he does will meet with the
approval of the people, and the dignity
and good name of the state are in safe
hands. In other words, while the new
senator may not be able to do as much
as he would like to- he will do what the
people wants to the full limit of his
powers without disturbing the bugaboo
of senatorial courtesy His announce
ment that he will be a candidate for the
place before the legislature seems to
have found favor with the people, no
matter what the politicians may think
of it. AS matter of fact, Senator Ben
son could not have been elected in q
regular contest for the position because
he would not have gone into the in
trigues and alliances that are too often
the accompaniment of a successful SEN
atorial campaign But entrenched in
the office by appointment, he will prob
ably make a formidable candidate, and
may be the popular solution of the
middle Kansas has been in for some
time.-Burlingame Chronicle.

ER0N OTHER PENS



The vacation question is the moving
one of the hour in spite of the big
things that are occupying the minds
of state and federal lawmakers. And
it is not so easily settled as it used to
be- When we had but one so-called
vacation state" it was easy for those
whose hearts and early affections were
not fixed upon some other spot to de-
eide to go there for the annual two
weeks trip. But many states now
have valid claims to being vacation
states as may be seen from the
abundance of guide books issued by
every railroad in the country. APP
parently one need make no mistake
in following the lead of vacation
pamphlets, since railroad managers
and hotel keepers are doing their best
to encourage the American habit of
travelling. It is a habit as is well
known, that grows by what 1t feeds on,
and if it is well fed so much the better
for those whose business it is to cater
to the vacationer. Or, IL it is impos-
sible to make a decision, one who Is
forced to take a vacation might go
with twenty-five or thirty of these
recreation documents down to the
shade Of an old apple tree and there
read them. That experience would
drive from his mind, for the time at
least, ali business cares and worries.
And no trip in reality does do more
than give him temporary release from
the worlds Observation-Disclosures Tran

THE SMILE THAT
CAME OFF QUICK

Yee Man Yong walked out of Judge
De Bolts court this morning with a
very broad smile on mis- face, because
nolle pros was entered by Deputy
Attorney General Fleming, the indict-
ment being for assault with weapon.
A few moments later as he was leaving
the Judiciary building ne was arrest
ed on new warrant, charging him
with the graver crime of assault with
intent to commit murder.
Yong's case grew out of a row with
another Korean at the Emmeluth
home. He was originally charged with
intent to murder but, 1t is claimed,
expressed his wish to take the limit
sentence for assault with a weapon
rather than stand trial. He changed
his mind however, and wanted a trial
on the lesser Offense. Now he is to be
tried for assault with intent to muir
der. Noar is his attorney.

Continued on Page Five).

There seems to be a unanimous opin-
ion on the part of the members of the
Board of Supervisors that the Board
will be unable to do anything in regard
to an appropriation for a crematory to
be used in burning the refuse of the
city. From the first of July the month
ly allowance of the Board will be cut
one-third as then the short end of the
year begins. Or in fact the Board will
be cut from an allowance of 900 to
$4,000 per month.
'iAs much as personally want to see
a crematory for Honolulu, am afraid
that 1t will be impossible for the Board
of Supervisors to assist in any way"
said George w. Smith, chairman of the
Board this morning. I'VE have had
our allowance cut down for next month
and so it will be impossible for us to
advance any money. I believe how
ever that the present system of dispos-
ing of the material is sanitary and that
there is no crying need for the crema-
tory"
Supervisor Moore stated that he did
not see where it was possible for the
Board to advance any money as there
was no money available for the pur-
pose
The other Supervisors are all of the
same opinion.
