The Average Man.

Paper Read Before the ChGutduQud Circle.
The first time my attention was
called to the ''average man" was in
speech made by President Roosevelt
at Fort Wayne, Indiana, in which he
exhorted his hearers to live clean, de-
cent lives and to bring up their chill
dren to be brave and honest. He said
they should be as good as the average
man, for he had always found the av-
erage man to be pretty decent fel-
low. Since then 1 have noticed this
expression in great many papers aud
magazines, in fact it has become a
very common one.
Now 1 have often wondered what
kind of being the average man should
be. If we began with the highest type
and ended with the lowest, Gould we
possibly strike An average? What are
the qualifications of the highest type
of man? Must he of necessity be an
educated man, and if so, how well edu-
Gated must he be? Must he be liter
ary, and if so, who is the greatest liter
ary man of today? If we are looking
for standard we must look for man
to fill the place. Must he be a scien-
tific man? If so, in what branch of
science must he excel? Should he be
a statesman, orator, doctor, or a dis
coverer of unknown lands; or must he
be Moody or an IngersolI, the one
showing the road to heaven and the
other teaching how to live here below
In carefully considering this vast
proposition, was forced to give it up
for to find the very highest type OF
man is no very easy matter. We can
picture to ourselves an ideal, but when
we have found it, closer inspection re.
veals only simple fact, that the ideal
man of our imagination differs very
little from other men. If were tc
select my ideal of what man should
be, would choose one of those who are
called natures noblemen. We meet

JUVENILE COURT
MATTER
up TO FREAR

Deputy Attorney General whitney
yesterday had conference with Gov
ernor Frear in reference to turning
over the site of Honolulu Hale to be
used as the location of a juvenile court
Judge Whitney urged upon the Gov.
ernor the advantages to Honolulu, and
particularly to the boys of Honolulu
Of such use of the land. The Governor
was non-committal, merely stating
that he would take the matter under
consideration. 1t is believed. however
that Governor F'rear is favorable to
The proposition and that, II II appears
probable that the money for the cree
ton OF the Juvenile court building can
oe raised by popular subscription, he
will give his consent.
Judge Whitney Is confident that he
can raise all the money needed for the
project, as everybody who has had
anything to say about It has been in
favor Of 1t, and a number have vol
unfairly offered subscriptions for the
purpose of putting up the building.

WILL ELECT A CAPTAIN
ON SUNDAY

The captain of the All-Hawaii
baseball team will be elected at the
League grounds on Sunday afternoon,
when the whole team will turn out
10 practice. II Is also the fdea of the
committee in charge to elect a second
captain. The proposition of a cap
tain is very important one and the
players should use good Judgment in
making their selection. A man with
a good clear head and plenty OF base
hall judgment is needed to fill this
place. He should be man that is
playing on the team and an infielder

work to hold the boys down when
3uch men as Devereaux and Truck
Egan get on the coaching lines and
the home team will need a fellow
who can balance the boys. Each
player who Is expected to play in the
series will have a vote for these two
captains.
The committee met last evening
and decided that the best way to han
die the men would be to select two
teams. having two men for each place.
This would give everyone a chance
and get the players to working to-
Sether.
The players are all anxious for
Saturday to roll around so that they

new Handspring SCHEME

There has been some dissatisfac-
ton in yachting circles as to the
handicaping of the yachts. A meet
ing was held a few days ago and
this matter was very thoroughly gone
into. The idea was to try and ar
range a system whereby the handi-
caps could be arranged on measure
ment and sail area instead of past
performances. This was hardly pos
sible, as in the case of the La Pa
Iona and Kamehameha. The former
under this rule would have to give
the latter. the fastest yacht in the
feet, a handicap.
II was decided to divide the yachts
into two classes, to be known as Glass
IA, including the Kamehameha, Gla-
dys and Kapolei. The other was to
be Glass lib. the La Paloma, Helene,
Hawaii and Spray.
Each of the two classes will be
handicapped according to measure
ments, but when they all sail togeth-
er the handicaps will be based accord
ing to past performances.
The Handspring of the second
class yachts was not attempted,
There were not enough yachts of the
same class in this division to handi-
cap.

ONE OF THE PARTY a WOMAN
Proved a Mighty Huntress When in
the Seventeen Tons of
Specimens of Animals.

New York, Jan. 3O.-A large and
valuable collection of geological speci-
mems from the jungles of British East
Africa, the result Of nearly a year and
a half of labor on the part Of an ex-
petition sent out by the Field Column
bian museum, of Chicago, has just ar
rived here and will be forwarded TO
the west in a few days. The coHec-
ton is in charge of Carl L. Ackerley,
Of the museum staff, who gathered a
majority Of the specimens, and many
months will be required to mount and
prepare the various groups for exhi-
bition This carefully selected assert
ment of specimens, secured with much
difficulty and considered to be worthy
of shipment from the heart of Africa
to the interior Of the United States,
weighs no less than seventeen tons.
Party as 1t Was at First.
The original party, which started
from Chicago more than a year and Il
half ago, consisted Of Vernon Shaw
Kennedy, a Chicago sportsman; Ed
mund Heller. a member of the Field
Columbian museum staff; Ackerley,
also a member Of the museum staff,
md Mrs Ackerley. After six months
in Africa ShawKennedy and Heller
returned to civilization, leaving Mr.
and Mrs. Ackerley to carry out the
4 plans Of the expedition.
! Included in the Collection.
The collection brought home includes
/ two elephants; group of African buff
falo ranging from the calf to the full
grown bull; a group Of lions, ranging
from the cub to the full grown black
named male; a complete series for
! twenty groups of specimens Of the Afri
can antelope, ranging in size from the
dik-dik to the Gland, the largest Of the
/ antelope species in Africa; numerous
specimens of the monkey, jackall, bye
ma, wild pig. rhinocerOs, hippopotamus

Had Some Serious Moments.
Although the stay in the jungle wa
