A United States senator is a great
and noble animal, but when the peo-
pie tell him to lie down and roll over,
he is a wise dog that does as he is told.
When the people begin to wobble right
is good time for the graft senator to
hunt soft grass plot.
France is now the worlds banker
The pulse of the money market of the
universe is in Paris. Those of us who
carry our earthly possessions in the
right-hand pocket of our trousers, are
not depositors in this bank, hence we
cannot feel the pulse-but we can
sleep nights, anyhow!
With the thermometer at SO in the
shade and a smell from the mechan-
ical department of a hotel kitchen
across the alley registering 116 faren-
phew, that expedition of Walter Well
mans to the north pole appeals to me.
There must be plenty of free ice there,
anyhow! BY the way, why don't Well
man take his own Pole with him? They
make almost as good cooks as the
Chinese.
William S. Rossiter in the Review of
Reviews suggests that possibly New
York state people might do well to
migrate to the wheat fields and dairy
farms of the west with which they can
not compete at home. What! And
leave the German, Italian, Scandi-
navian, Hungarian and Russian Jews
to argue the superiority of New York
and New York city over any other
spot in the universe? Never!

Honolulu Eks.

One of the sensations of the big re union of iGlks in Denver next July will be a delegation from Honolulu, which will travel from the Hawaiian islands in the Pacific seas to attend the great reunion They will probably cover the longest distance of any delegation coming to the reunion. but because the delegation will be small they may not get the $1 900 prize offered for the delegation travelling the greatest az reaate number of miles. The presence of this delegation from such a distant point and the assembling of a multi tude of ladies at the reunion, will be two of the notable features. which other reunions have not included.
 A silver elk valued at $l,000, is to be given by Fred G. Shaffer a weathy mining man of Colorado for the iodst b1inging the largest delegation of ladies to the reunion and this will doubtless make that feature a notable success.
 The Honolulu lodge of Elks has been organized two years and has nearly 800 members. This distantly located lodge is as enthusiastic as it's main- land brother lodges in the work or preparing for the great reunion ill Denver. and has already engaged headouarters at conspicuous point ir the city, where the Honolulu dele alton will keep open house to all who come.
