GLORIA M A
Darkey In Hawaii Who Trusted in the

ing. All at once one of u party
drew rein with an ejaculation and
pointed to a lone ridge where you
would suppose nothing but an eagle
would make It's habitation. And there,
sure enough, was the banner Of that
noble fowl--an old tattered stars and
stripes fiuttering on a bamboo pole.
We felt that we ought to pay our re-
spects and at the same time learn who
put Old Glory 10 that wild place. Az

path that z~igzagged up the ridge, and
discovered an old negro sitting before
a waited hut smoking his pipe while
he kept his eye on the flag.

There is another economy in this
design and that is the way the chin
ney is built. II is placed In the center
Of the house where 1t answers for

CRATES. When you r building a
chimney 1t costs but little more to
build 1t large enough for three or four
flues. There is another advantage In
placing the chimney in the center OF
the house and that is where 1t goes
through the roof. It is easy to prevent
leakage around the chimney at The
peak because no water accumulates at
that point. When you put q chimney
through a roof down near the caves
the water from a heavy shower makes
a rush for It from the peak down. BY

The Clever Fox.

The rector OF a parish near Oxford,
England, tells this fox story: Az he
was wal ing across some fields dur
ing a recent fox hunt he heard the
cry of hounds. The fox ran into
the next ield. A fox came running
toward him and trctted along by his
side, Just as a dog would do, wagging
his brush. The rector walked o n The
huntsman, looking about. saw nothing
but the clergyman and what seemed
to be his dog, and galloped away in
another direction. As o o as the
coast was clear the fox gave a whisk
OF his tail and disappeared through a
hedge.

BY Prof. w. G. Slater r.;

The Senior Class has decided to-
have DR.. Montgomery lecture during
his engagement in May. The. lecture
will be given in the Opera House Wed
nesday evening, May %, for whichsa'
charge, of SOC for adults will be made
and 25c for children.

This plan Of raising. the money meets.
the approval Of the members OF Senior
Glass as well as the friends of Dr.,
Montgomery. He. often lectures to
help pay his own way and this kind
offer on his part only illustrates the
generosity of . big fellow, =
During his former visit here when
he dedicated the Methodist church he
made a large circle Of ardent friends,
and he says he is looking forward with
great pleasure to his approaching
visit, as he places the citizens OF Hope
among the best he has yer met.
This plan will give the people OF
Hope an opportunity to hear one of
the most distinguished Methodist d.
vines in the church of today at an
average Of Csc per evening.
The program for this Baccalaureate
address will appear next week. There
will be no reserve seats for either OF
these occasions.
The Doctor has a magnificent church
ediflce in the course Of construction
and pressing demands are made upon
his time. We are fortunate indeed tc
secure him under any circumstances
whatsoever, and we feel reasonably
sure we could never have secured hin
for this occasion had he not been &C
royalty treated and received during
his former visit. The class sincerely
hopes that the citizens will turn out
and give this great Divine = grand re-
ception at both the lecture for his ben
