HARp WORK. Small PAY.


rne story Of tho Life Of One Itin-
Grant Methodist preachcr.
I have now been an itinerant Metho
dist preacher almost twenty-eight
years. My salary since I was married
has averaged $3.50 a year. exclusive Of
house rent l have only once or twice
left circuit in debt to any ono in it
and am today free from financial EN-
barrassment. am now serving my
twentieth pastoral charge, and these
frequent changes from one pastorate
to another, which have in one or two
instances involved moves Of 200 miles
or more, have greatly added to the ex-
penses of the work. l have paid out
three or four hundred dollars in rail-
road and hack fares and in freight
charges, besides the loss incident to
breaking up and moving from one
place to another. l have kept u horse
fifteen years and a buggy about a
dozen, have had one horse to die and
another to go blind, and the buggy 1
now have is almost like the wonderful
one horse chaise just before that clas-
sic vehicle went to pieces. My sight is
sufficient to enable me to drive over
plain and familiar roads.
We find it necessary to be economic
al. Our living is simple. In the morn
ing we have biscuits and butter and
bacon gravy, with a little ham now
and then, and chicken in the summer,
and fresh pOrk-when our neighbors
furnish it-in winter. We also have
coffee for my wife and myself and
'kettle tea" for the children. At dinner
we have vegetables, such as beans, po-
tatoes and corn during the summer,
with good bread, homemade, and some
times a simple dessert. At supper
which we generally have about night
fall, we have bread and butter, with
fruit, when we can get it, and milk or
tea. We have occupied nine different
and attached to these have
been lots large enough for a
good garden and sundry patches. On
our present lot we hope to make light
bale Of cotton this year. 1 usually buy
one good suit Of clothes every two or
three years which save for marriages,
funerals and strictly Sunday wear,
making less costly clothes answer for
everyday wear. These best suits usu-
ally cost about $15, and 1 get them
ready made out of the stores. My wife
usually makes her own dresses and
1Oes most of the sewing for the family.
We keep no servants, but put out the
and ironing, which costs about
50 cents a week. We generally rise
lbout G, have breakfast an hour later,
-he little girls go to school after wash
llg the dishes-my son has been away
from home most of the time for a year

To Entnhlinh Peace.

It is not generally known that the in
vention Of Esperanto, the universal
language, was originally designed not
for commercial purposes, but to es-
tablish universal peace. It's inventor,
DR.. zamehof, was a native Of Bialy-
stock, one Of the most cosmopolitan
centers Of eastern Europe. It Impress
ed the doctor that one Of the chief
causes Of the racial fights which dis
turbed the town was the inability Of
the various races to fraternize through
a common language. and he straight
way began the planning Of his uni
versal speech" Unfortunately for the
doctor, the people most in need Of such
an understanding have. for the most
part, never heard Af Esperanto, and the

THE HORSEMAN AND

SPORTING PAPER THAT Is ABOUT
TO ISSUE A SOUVENIR NUMBER.
IS YEARS OLD.

The Horseman and the Spirit of the
Times, a periodical published in Chi
cago, established IS years ago has
sent out an attractive poster announ-
cling that it is to publish a souvenir
number. The announca ment is as fol-
lows;
"To all Horse Lovers Greeting:

CHEERFUL LIAR"
At THE ORPHEUM
ACTORS AUERBACH AND DRUM
SUPPORTED BY LOCAL PLAYERS
GIVE A FINE PERFORMANCE

The Cheerful Liar" was presented
to a fair-sized house at the Orpheum
last evening. Il was benefit per-
formance for the Kona Orphanage and
the Lusitana Club. Each organization
will receive about S2j as their share
of the profits.
Auerbach and Drum who formerly
were with the Buhler players, staged
the play last evening. They were both
at their best and the remainder of the
support, though amateurs, did very
we'll. They deserved a larger house.
Yesterday Auerbach received a re-
quest to take his company to Haleiwa.
They will go down today. They also
expect to visit the other islands and
play at Lahaina and HilO, and per-
chance at the smaller places.

men. She realizes all his limitations,
his motions" and his special partlcu-
lar fads. and she has the uncommon
lv good sense not to expect much of
the Iily maid of Astolat the fair Elaine,
who spent her time in polishing the
shield of Lancelot and who finally died
of love for that most immoral but
fascinating knight of the round table.
No, she wouldn't polish a shield, you

II himself for all he was worth, and
polish her own dear little boots and
shoes for her into the bargain. That
is one of her secrets-masterfulne or
let us say queenllness, which sounds
better.
Perhaps the chief note in the ever
ascending scale of her innumerable at
fractions is her intense vitality. the
mixed blood of many intelligent races
courses through her delicate veins,
and gives a Joyous lightness to the
bounding of her heart and the swift
grace of her step. She is full of energy
as we'll as charm. If she sets out to en-
Joy herself she enjoys herself thor
oughly. She talks and laughs freely.
She is not a mere well-dressed auto
maton like the great majority OF
upper class British danes. She is un-

tolerance and perchance something of
gratitude as well on the men she has
escaped from.
Life does not run only in one channel
for the American woman. She does not
make tracks" solely from the cradle
to the altar, from the altar to the
grave. She realizes that there is more
fun to be got out Of being born than
just this little old mea sure meted out
to her by the barbaric males of earliest
barbaric periods, when women we're
yoked to the plow with cattle, as they
still are in some parts of Switzerland.
And IL is the innate consciousness of
her own power and intelligent ability
that gives her the dominating charm.
the magnetic spell under which the
stolid Britlsher falls more or less
stricken, stupe1ed and inert. He Is
never a great talker; she Is. Her flow
of conversation bewilders him. She
knows so much, too-she catters of
Shakespeare, Byron, Shelley Keats
and he things he has heard of these
people somewhere before.
He listens dumbly. Sometimes he
scratches his head, occa sionally he feels
his mustache If he has one. When she
laughs, he smiles slowly and obviously.
He hopes she is not laughing at him.
He feels, he feels, dontcherknow, that
she is tripping" He couldn't tell you
what he means by tripping" to save
his life. But painfully accustomed as
he is to the dull and listless conversa-
ton of the British materfamilias and
to the half hoydenish conduct of the
British tomboy girl who will insist on
playing golf and hockey with him I'm
order not to lose him out of her sight
he is altogether refreshed and relieved
his cloudy horizon and instead Of watt
ing upon him commands him to wait
upon her with one dazzling look of her
bright, audaciouS eye. The American
woman Is not such a fool as to go play
hockey with him at all times and in all
weathers, thereby allowing him to take
the unchecked measure of her ankles.
She is too clever to do anything that
might possibly show her in an unlovely
or ungraceful light. She takes care to
keep her hands soft and small and
white, that they may be duly caress-
able, and makes the best and prettiest
of herself on all and every occasion.
And that she has succeeded in taking
English society by storm is no matter
for surprise. English society unmixed
with any foreign element, is frequently,
said to be the dullest in the world. 1t
is an entertainment where no one is en-
tertained. A civil apathy wraps each
man and woman in it's fibrous husk and
sets them separately apart behind bar
ricades of the most idiotic convention
ality. The American woman is the only
being that can break down these bar
ricades and tear the husk to shreds. No
wonder she Is popular! The secret of
her own success is in her own personal
charm and vivaciouS intelligence, in her
light scorn Of stupid ceremonies, in the
frank geniallty of her disposition (when
she can manage to keep 1t unspoiled by
contact with the reserved hypocrisy of
the smart set and the delightful
spontaneity Of her thoughts which find
such ready expression in equally spon-
taneous speech.-Washington Star.
