HEARD AROUND

INDlTES DELICIOUS DITTY
TO ROMANTIC MUSIC MAKERS
BY THE EAvEsDRCPPER

To the Hawaiian singers with the
ianguorouS eyes and the soft voices that
have made many a maid in the Indian
grill at the Alexandria imagine herself
a dusky faced lady of the faraway land
where moonlight, palm trees and sing
ing lovers are ever present, Miss Grace
Wilson, San Francisco girl, who has
been a guest at the hotel, has written
the following verses which are to be
set to music and sung by the seXtet.
To the Hawaiians who inspired her
music she dedicates the song.
Meath the window on the desert
Where no song birds ought to be,
Sit the six Hawaiian singers
Sit and play and sing to me.
Sing to me just in my fancy,
For the room quite fades away
AS l daily with my oysters
And imbibe cafe parfait.
like best the sweet Aloha"
Where they part to meet again;
"Wini, Willi'-is it spelled right?
Makes me love its sad refrain.
There's jolly Indian maiden
Lives out in the Golden West"
Were it not for my two favorites,
1 think I'd like "Moke" best
And for all this gay sweet music,
Just because / liked 1t So
May / thank you all, most truly,
Adios-it's time to go.

Japanese question Is one of the most

with European immigrants, we get
many of an undesirable class and they

to degrade the public schools.

entirely grown, and in beginning the
study of the language he is in a school

Is Serious Question
"I believe that the Japanese question
Is more serious one to the coast
states and the west in general than
the negro problem is to the south. A
Japanese, while he has less principle
than a negro, has more capacity. and
on that account is more dangerous. We
are doing all we can to exclude them
from our industries in Tacoma and we
shall continue to do so.
America is the home of the op-
pressed, and should be so, but these
people are not oppressed. They have a
liberal government and all the oppor-
tunity they need at home, and they
ought to stay there. Their coming TO
America is nothing short of encroach-
ment on our territory and our rights.

south by it and the same thing will
happen in the west if they are allowed
to keep on coming.
with the European immigrants who
come in there always is a possibility Of
amalgamation and after few years

Is no hope of assimilating him and he

Mrs. r. ]. Briggs, wife of the proprie-
tor of the Briggs Riding academy,
known all over America, is at the Hol-

here soon.
The Philadelphia school is one of the
most extensive of it's kind in America,
and some of the most accomplished
horsewomen of the day have been
turned out from there.
Mrs. Briggs thinks that Southern
California would be an especially de-
lightful place for riding and says that

OF WEALTH
Declares Class Distinctions VIII Soon
Exist In This Country Worse Than
Anything England Has
Ever Known

There Will soon be in America a
stronger class distinction than Eng
land has ever known"
This is the startling prediction of
Cecil Reddy, head master of one of
the most novel educational institutions
IN England. Mr.. Reddy Is in Los An
geles while making a pleasure tour of
America and incidentally studying
things educational.
Speaking of the American schools he
said:
I'VE have not in England a public
school such as you have here-a school
which will turn out a president or a
roadmaker, according to the boy. Such
thing would be impossible in Eng
land because of the great class dis
tinction, but bad as is this class dis
tinctlon in England there will soon be
class distinction in America which
is worse than anything we have ever
known.
There Is an aristocracy growing UP
In America and 1T has instead of an
cestors as its foundation, money.
II am democratic Englishman and
believe that such an aristocracy
would be a terrible thing in this coun-
try.
s"I admire the progressveness of
America. In England people do not
like new idea. A new idea is frowned
upon and considered as something to
be Stunned or If finally adopted to
be handled with great care for fear
it may explode.

Starts Country School

II learned every word of Scott's
Lady of the Lake and l could recite
1t, but l knew nothing of the green
fields of which it tells or any of the
other wonders that come with out
of-door life. When 1 finally went into
the country l thought, oh, the pity
OF it, that the youth of England should
be educated in such ignorance 1 de-
termined to start a school on a new
plan, not in a city, but in the country.
THAT school has now been in ex-
istence eighteen years and some of the
boys from the first families of Eng
land are being educated there.
1T is in Derbyshire, one Of the most
beautiful counties in all England. We
have 140 acres and the boys are taught
to do everything for themselves.
1.-The vegetables they eat they grow
themselves and the orchards and
flower gardens are also cared for by
them. They learn the difference be-
tween plow and "A moving machine
a difference which few of them know
when they arrive there. There are
athletic fields with almost every healthy
sport imaginable. The boys fake care
of their own horses and learn more
about horse in the years they are
there than they would ever learn in
their whole lives otherwise.
1T is the fag system in England
the system which makes the small boy
in the school do the work for the big
boy-run his errands, clean his room
and do all that sort of thing, which
makes possible such men as Swetten-
ham and some other colonial COVER
nors with whom we have been bur-
dened of late-men whom even an

The wealthy parishioner had with
him his pastor, and miles of road were
thrown into clouds of dust by the

tention was given to him than to the
fitting telephone poles. Over those
poles, however, sped message, and
at the next crossroads a barrier was
encountered and also another repre-

he break the speed law" complained
the constable, when the party had as

used such language" I'VE must pro-
tect our officers from profanity in

statement, will tell us whether or not

STAND BY ONE ANOTHER.
One Place at Least Where Woman Be-
friends Woman.

There is just one place." lamented
the grocer's clerk, where woman is
the friend Of woman. That is in
grocery. If woman happens to get
'stung' with a poor brand of tea or
coffee or soap or anything else, she
takes precious good care no other
woman whom she can influence shall
suffer from the same cause In buying
anything else women go on the prin-
ciple that misery likes company, and
allow their sisters to run into all kinds
of errors they themselves have been
guilty of. But in the matter of buying
groceries they treat each other like
Christians. For that spirit of helpful
ness the grocer usually pays. 1t is re-
sponsible, for example, for all those
packages of coffee over there in the
corner being thrown on our hands.
One woman tried a sample. She didn't
like it, and she made it her business
to see that no other woman whom
she met in here should throw her
money away on that sort Of coffee.
And it is the same way with every
thing else-if one woman sees another
in doubt as to the quality of any ar
ticle. she advises to the best of her
ability"

A Celebrated CeIibate.

A young and handsome rector was
recently engaged for a fashionable
church. One of the vestrymen with
keen relish for a joke circulated the
rumor that the new parson belonged
to the order of celibates, thinking
thereby to battle the spinsters and
widows of the congregation who were
many. One matron, with several mar
riagable daughters, assembled these
and few young friends about her,
and gave the group a solemn warning.
Now, girls she said, you must not
fall in love with the rector. You know
he is celebrity" And a celebrity
the poor man remained so long as
he was rector of that church.

BootbIacks in Livery.

There is a new Office building in
Wall street that is piling luxury on
luxury in the way of fittings and gen.
eral accessories to the point where it
bids fair to be close rival to the mar
BILE and plush palaces of hotels up
town. The latest outbreak in this
direction is the uniforming of the
official bootblack of the building in
pages livery, blue trousers with a
gold piping on the seams, pages
short tunic with ever so many round
gilt buttons down the front and
dark blue straight visored cap with
the name of the company that owns
the structure in gold letters on the
front. OF course, this bootblack
page is an Italian, and he looks ex-
treriely hot and uncomfortable in his
padded coat.

Where Mark Twain Had Gone.

When Mark Twain was working
hard on one of his earlier books that
brought him fame he sailed for Eu-
rope with his family. He kept up his
writing on shipboard, leaving it only
for brief recreations. One day an ap-
preaching storm drove him to the
cabin, and as he retired to work he
left word with his daughter, then a
very little girl, to explain his absence
IF they ask for me-" he said to her,
SAY that l won't be long; l have only

later a passenger accosted the child:

What the Foolish Wife Does.

1t is astonishing how many women
allow the smallest trifles to break up
the harmony of home. A wife sep
arated from her husband recently,
after 20 years of happy married life,
merely because he refused to give up
smoking. He had enjoyed his pipe in
peace all these years, but she took an
unreasonable wifely whim against the
weed. And now comes the Austrian
archduke who threw away large for
tune and the chances of throne to
marry wife for love. And she spoils
the whole romance and happiness of
both, and brings beautiful love story
to the divorce court because she in
sists that her husband shall lead the
simple life," including a dress of
sacking, and vow never to shave or cut
his hair.-Chicago Journal.

A Real Heroine.

Anyone who has had glimpses of the
British coast with its high tides and
precipitous cliffs can appreciate why
cut off by the tide" has always been
a standard theme for British fiction.
But none Of the novelists have record
ed an incident that surpasses in hero
ism the deed of Mrs. McNally, of Sligo
bay, Ireland, who took seven children
out among the rocks and was taken
unawares by the rising water. She
saw them on little island and. though
unable to swim, she rushed to their
help. Two she could take in her arms.
the rest she told to cling to her wher-
ever they could get hold, and so the
landward journey began. 1t was a
close thing. but she brought all seven
safe to land. II there are medals

Tin Mines in Malava.

A correspondent from the Malay
peninsula states that the projected
railway from Hongkong will be likely
to traverse the rich mineral regions
of Siamese Malaga. Lang Suan has
tin supply that cannot be exhausted
in a hundred years to come, while the
same may be said of Renang. There
are 70 mines in the region of Lang
Suan, most of which are worked by
natives. but the European concessions
in the latter place, as well as in Re-
nang, are exceptionally encouraging
and already are giving excellent re-
turns. There is no lack of capital,
even the natives making themselves
better acquainted with modern ma.
chinery and bringing it into use.

Mixtures of Thought in Dreams.

Consider the wild mixtures Of
thought, displayed both in the waking
life and the dreams of mankind. How
grand, How mean, How sudden the
leap from one to the other! How in
scrutable the succession. How defiant
of orderly control. II is as If the soul
were a thinking ruin; which it verify
is. The angel and the demon life ap-
pear to be contending in it. The
imagination revels in beauty exceeding
all the beauty of things, walls in
images dire and monstrous. wallows in
murderous and base suggestions that
shame our inward dignity; so that a
great part of the study and principal
art OF life is to keep our decency by a
wise selection from what we think and
a careful suppression of the remain
