An earnest old lady who has devoted
years of effort to the cause of the w
c. T. T., after reading her beloved
Sunday Advertiser last Sunday, l am
told, has ordered that the paper never
be allowed to enter her home again.
The thoughtful editor of the offending
sheet provided a nice page of matter
about Household" affairs, and every
woman of course likes to read such
matter There were some recipes.
Brew three quarts of rich lemonade"
read the old lady with placid apprecia-
ton. "To this add a half pint Of ma.
raschino, here she looked puzzled
land a pint of rum" the old lady
gasped and turned to the top of the
page to see what unearthly sheet she
had got hold Of 1t was the Sunday
Advertiser, sure enough. She resum-
ed the thrilling article: "'Then add a
quart of whiskey,-" There was a
Shrek as of positive terror, and the
paper dropped to the floor But this
particular old lady was game. She
nerved herself to read on: THE addition
of champagne makes this punch super
| fine" At this point she tainted and
don't blame her. "Superfine!" To get
up a connection of maraschino rum
whiskey and champagne and call it
"superfne' and pat it on the woman's
page as a part of a household education
why if the truth were known probably
lot of people tainted last Sunday:
| Others perhaps tried the mixture.

THE Molokans on Kauai" said a
| friend of mine, ARE an object lesson.
| They contain the evidence of the i'm
| possibility of a Russian democracy.
| They are a body of men and women
treated too well for their mental con-
stitutons In the course of evolution,
|
| began to develop the ability to live in
| air, many which got on dry land be-
| fore lungs grew must have persisted.
| The Molokans have been landed too
| suddenly in an atmosphere of freedom
when they belong in the muddy wa
| ters of slavery. In land where they
are their own masters they are fish out
of water and do nothing but struggle.
| They don't know what they want, eX-
cept that it is never what is offered to
them They are simply not fit to de-
eide what they want. They might be
good men under an absolute monarchy
or under an overseer with a whip"

How would you like to spend eight
years standing and gazing worshipfully
at a statue? This is what the poor
Portuguese who hangs around the
judiciary building has done, and he
seems in no mood to stop. 1t is over
eight years now since he began to take
up his position by the imposing figure
of the Hawaiian conquerer. Year in
and year out. he has kept his post con-
stantly since. Every morning he ar
rives soon after eight and quietly takes
his place. At noon he leaves,-to &c
to some lowly home where relatives
supply food and such clothing as they
have. Then he returns and con-
tinues his worship till night. Years
ago he used to bow to the ground and
reverently shout 80 King" but now
he is silent. He makes no answer II
spoken to, but merely looks at the
figure of the king. The late District
Attorney Baird used to interest him
self in the unfortunate imbecile, and ds
about the only man who ever got him
to speak since his long watch began.
