METHOD IN HIS soLlclTuDE.
WHlIe's Deep Interest in Playmate's
Health Explained.

This story is well in keeping witt
the spirit of the age, says the New
York Tribune. A Bronx man tells it
about his little boy The neighbours
young hopeful was very i'll, and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not to make any noise
in the streets. The neighbours bell
rang one day and she opened it to find
Willie standing bashfully on her front
steps.
How is he to-day?" he inquired in
a shy whisper.
He's better, thank you, dear, and
what thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmy's sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to
say. but simply kissed him. Made still
holder by the caress, Willie began to
back down the steps, repeating at in
tervals his sorrow for his playmate's
Illness. At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. "If Jimmy should die"
he asked, kin have his drum?"

pretty and useful piece of work would
be an embroidered news paper rack.
The materials are not costly, and the
work is not bulky, so it could be car

pretty material from linen to brocade
is perfectly suitable for the purpose,

purse and taste of the worker. The
back of the rack should consist of a
strong piece of cardboard, about 20
inches long by IL wide. This must be
neatly covered with the material chos-
en-, which it would be useless to en-
broider, as the work would be com
pletely hidden when the papers were
put in. The front, however, can be
just as beautifully and deliberately en-
broidered as the worker pleases. When
finished the work is mounted on a
piece of cardboard similar to the back,
but rather shorter, and sharply round
ed off on one side. The two pieces
are then sewn together and the join
ing concealed by a thick cord sewn
all around. A smart bow of ribbon at
the top, by which to hang the pocket,
and similar bow at the side, would
fifty finish very pretty and useful

FUTURE SALVATION ARMY HEAD

Booth, the head of the Salvation Army,
who is on a motor car trip in Great
Britain, announced on Sunday at Black
burn, in Lincolnshire, that the same

of his. death would publish the name
of the new general for the army.
1t is learned that General Booth has
left minute directions for the future
administration of the army in seal

else knows who his successor viii be

DAM PAYROLLS
CAUSE FRICTION

A new phase of the Nuuanu dam
construction trouble arose yesterday
and large number of Hawaiian Ia
borers are held out of their wages for
the month of July as a consequence.
The difficulty Auditor Fisher finds in
harmonizing the manner Of expendi-
ture on the part of the Department Of
Public Works with the requirements
of the appropriation bill is the trouble
and until there is an untangling of the
snarl 1t is likely that the July payroll
for the government work on the Nu-
uanu and Makiki dams will not be
paid.
Yesterday the laborers affected in
vaded the Executive building, paying
a visit in force to Superintendent OF
Public Works Holloway to demand
their pay. The superintendent referred
them to Auditor Fisher, who in turn
referred the clamorers to Secretary
Atkinson. Atkinson passed them back
to the Auditor, who turned them down.
If the Auditor had not taken this sum-
mary action it is possible that the cir
cling might have been going on yet.
The mix-up occurs through the
charging of the new work on the two
dams to the running expense account
of the Honolulu waterworks. Accord
ing TO the opinion of the Auditor the
account is wrongfully charged and
cannot be paid on that account, while
if it is charged to new work it still
cannot be paid as the funds of the new
appropriations cannot be expended in
sums of $500 or over without bids be-
ing called for and contracts awarded.
The amount involved in the dispute is
considerably over $500, the salary Of
B. Franklin Rowland, superintendent
of the jobs, being $125 in itself.
The settlement of the matter will
probably have to come from the courts
and in the meanwhile the lahorers will
not get their money.
