diliy."
This story Of wise mother seems SO
hopeful rhat it ought to be widely known.
| suppose there u no mother of a back
ward child whose heart has not ached
lover its pitiful discoura cement. These
children have heeu told in school. aud
sometimes in other places. that they are
slow and stupid, until they come to think
il is nO use trying. and they accept with
&tAts protest the inferior place into which
they are pushed To the mothers of such
children it is good news 70 hear that the
ease of the slow child il not hopeless. but
on the contrary is decidedly promising.
\ most cheering thing is the story |
heard told of a child who was Sc nack
T-uarl and discouraged that some people
believed Tim mentally deficient. q ('fhe
story is absolutely true. by the wayl The
mother refused To accept the failure of
the child as a fact. She began by de-
tCrmiuiug that he should understand one
thing, and she worked with him until he
did grasp one subject 1t took patience
SUCH as only mother has, But when he
did succeed and was praised for it, he
was utterly bewildered. She made him
observe. questioning him about what he
saw in the streets or elsewhere training
him to observe details. She told him of
the great men who had been accounted
ounces in childhood. He was particularly
attracted by the story of Sir Walter
Scott. and the mother told his life story.
and read his poetry 10 him. She inn
pressed upon his mind that which has
been said by many men of great achieve
ment-that industry and perseverance
count for more than mere talent without
them. She found out the thing in which
he was most interested and gave him
every opportunity TO indulge his taste
She had the satisfaction Of seeing his
mind develop year after wear. With ex-
orcise every power grew, and most of all
his will to overcome was strengthened by
his struggles. He is a man now Of fine
character. splendid attaiumentS and
success in the life he has chosen He is
not quick and versatile-thc slow child
will never be that. His development
must be along other lines. We are at
fault whenever we try to make him take
the same path that the quick child takes.
One last word to mother or teacher
who has discouraged child in her care.
DO not fail t. tell them about one or
more of the great men of history who
were accounted dull children. / have told
these stories to many discouraged chill
dren, and at once their eyes ~ighten.
and they take on a new hearing Of dig
nifty as they grasp the fact that there is
hope for them. And it never fails to
stimulate them to new cffort-Zelia

A Meeting OF Power,

The Fifth Sunday Meeting OF
the TERRA Blanco Association
which met with the Arney
church in Castro county was the
best meeting we have had since
the Association was organized
two wears ago. The attendance,
both local and from a distance,
was good. The discussions were
unusually interesting, and when
preaching hours came every one
seemed to set their hearts on
reaching the lost; the results be-
ing four public professions and
four baptisms. The services
closed at the water Sunday even
ing. The good people ofthe com
munity had plenty of dinner and
supper on the ground each day,
and we spent the time talking,
preaching, praying, singing,
weeping and rejoicing together.

GOVERNMENT
OF HONOLULU
Different From Any City in
the World.
NO BRUTAL CRIMINALS
Operate or Find Hiding Place
in That City.
Worlds "Furthest West" Town at
Prebent Does Not Even Have a
Mayor or a Chief of Police.

Among the great variety OF CT
les that are scattered far over the
American possessions, Honolulu has
the oldest form of government and
it is probable that it is the most
peculiarly governed city in the
world, says letter to the New
York Herald. Although it has a
population of nearly $4,000 and
is one of the most important sea-
ports on the Pacific ocean, it has
no mayor or collection Of other Of
ficials distinctly its own, and it has
no city corporation. Its affairs
are directed by county and terri
torial officials only, and 1t is only
distinguished legally from the re-
mainder of Oahu county, wh:Sh
embraces the entire island Of the
same name, by being separate
judicial district and having its
own deputy sheriff and district
magistrate, who serves as pol:cc
Judge.
Honolulu is distinguished in 9TH
'er ways from adj other cities Of the
world. One of these, observes a
writer in the San Francisco Call,
is its having served successfully as
the seat of government of mon
archy, a republic and an American
territory. Its present odd form
of government is due to its novel
history, but it is qIite certain that
it will not be many years more
before it will have both laws and
officials of its own, and in this
way be like other cities Of mod
em times.
Geographically considered, Homo
lulu is the most westcrnly situated
city on the globe. Far beyond it,
on the ocean, the old day dies and
new day is born to make a
trip Of "a hours around the world
before ending its existence also.
Fguratively speaking, the city
be considered the commercial gate
way between the Occident and the
Orient.
Associated with thoughts of
Honolulu invariably come those
of land OF eternal summer, of
endless seas, OF a beautiful island
clothed in tropic verdure, of
harbOr crowded with tall masted
ships and smoking steamers, and
of IN inviting, peaceful city with
shaded streets and beautiful homes
surrounded by numerous trees on
well kept lawns. Every visitor
goes away to tell of the attrac-
tiveness of the city and the island.
but there are, indeed few who
know anything about the peculiari-
ties Of the city government.
There is nothing in the appear
