HEART TO HEART TALKS
By EDWIN \. ME Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

were shut up to just three things what would you select?
 woman's club of Chicago debated that question for half a day and reached no conclusion.
 One woman held that the three essen tials are a good temper. a good mother and the wife in charge of the finances, which raised the Scriptural question as to who is the head of the house. The ma iority appeared to think that Pauls idea of the husband S supremacy is out of date. Some held that husband and wife are joint sovereigns and that the family rev enues should be divided.
 Another of the women held that the essentials are "a good mother good cook and a trained nurse" This left the man entirely out of the question. Either he was not regarded as absolutely essen tial or he was taken for granted And IL was suggested that a woman mght De a good mother, cook and nurse and at the same time a very poor wife. One woman timidly hinted at good husband as one essential but not much attention was paid to her contribution
 Late in the afternoon minister h. D. pened in. "A woman and a cook stove
 Whereat the women applauded the rather cute solution and ended the debate
 Evidently it did not occur to them that a man. a woman and a cook stove mlght be the essentials of home, but that they might also be the essentials of Q dive.
 One of the Chicago newspapers took up the discussion and asked for contrlbu- tfons. Many answers were given, and the one that was finally adopted as the best was this: "A man, woman ana baby
 R6t this answer is open to the ob- lection mentioned to the reply of the minister.
 It seems to us the solution is simple. and 1t is strange so many people should have missed it. Narrowed down to the absolute factors, the three essentials of home are:
 A husband, a wife and love.
 Is It not so?

SOUR STOMACH
 ONLY SYMPTOM
Sour Stomach, Water Brash and Other
 Stomach Troubles.

Sour stomach is simply an indication of a condition. If not attended to prompt ly and efficiently it will run into dys- pepsia, or chronic indigestion. It af- fleets the bowels causes sick headache, liver trouble, kidney trouble and general illness.
 The taking of digestive tonics and med icines will perhaps sweeten the stomach and aid it in digestion for a short time, but the effect will not last unless you get at the root of the trouble, which is the proper supply of digestive juices to the stomach and digestive tract. The stom- ash must be aided but at the same time strengthened so that it can do it's part of the work without the aid of medicine.
 There is no remedy known today that we believe does this work so effectively as does Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.
 It aids digestion and at the same time strengthens the stomach and promotes the secretion of sufficient juices so that the stomach does it's work normally without the aid of medicine It gives easy, natural regularity to the bowels without pain or grpe and it so relieves and strengthens them that you do not contract the habit as with pills and mineral waters or salts.
 All druggists sell it at soc and s1.O0 a bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co.,. S33 Caldwell Bldg. Monticello, H., is glad to send a free sample to any one who will use it and give it a fair trial.

The lodgers were alarmed one night by what sounded like a man running at a tremendous pace in the room above. As the noise came from the room of new lodger nothing was said The next night the same running noises were heard. Still it was thought best to say nothing But the third night the noise differed The boarders huddled together in the parlor as the chandeliers shook as the man above apparently came down at intervals with thunp, thump that fairly shook the house.
 Two men were delegated to see what was the matter.
 What in the world is the matter up here?" asked one of the men as the door was opened by the new lodger, appar- entity breathless.
 Why came the answer between gasps of breath, ''Tm taking my medicine.
 "Medicine" echoed the men.
 Yes said the man as he dropped into a chair from sheer exhaustion It s harder on me than 1t is on you. But the doctor said I should take it two nights running and then skip the third night. /. London Globe.

It Pays to Smile.

I could learn to love you
 When you smile, smile, smile.
 Popular Ballad
 This is the smile age.
 It is the new dispensation-the dispen- sation of optimism
 Take A look at the portraits Of our statesmen of the past. They are nearly all of one type-stern of feature, square cut as to mouth, dignified as to pose You will scarcely find the glimmer of smile on their faces.
 It is different nowadays.
 Smile pictures are popular.
 Note the pictures of Theodore Roose- welt His well known visage is all broken up and melloWed with smiles Ihe picture shows either the good natureu grin or the teeth revealing spread oA face. The bulldog eountenance or ule President is broken into ripples llhe pond into which stone has been cast
 And the face of William J. Bryan m nieturei He is a smiler of the most eA- pansiVe width-a width as proau "s H'' countenance is wide. It Is cohtaslO"S smile and is characteristic ol the lA',i l,,o, If is significant that MT. Taft IS eaheu Smiling Bill' and ms fuiinAAs Sunny Jim" ,,, Tine neople seem to prefer the man who
 
 smiles. ~ t.or.,- We are a nation of smilers The tro"h- CTS are of the unique minority. Ihe sur lv boor is in hard lines in these days e are learning that to look at the "ortu through smiling eyes not only sWeete"a . life and brings satisfaction, put that u pays. ,4;,,,
 The rewards of life come to the opium i ist. ,,. l.. l 1t pays to smile. It pays in heaith' Tn i snfrits. in absence of friction. It pays III l lives made brighter It pays in dollars i and cents. ,,.
 Therefore hold up your chin and sinile.
 Don't be stingy in stretchlng your mouth. If you play miser that way you cheat only yourself.
 It is difficult to appraise a sinlle at i.e highest It is an intangible thing. 80 IS the light an intangible thing, but It hgnt- ems a world So is heat, but it warns the world. So is love- but it redeems the world
 A home without a smile is no home. Smiles are as necessary in house as sunshine or air or warmth They cost nothing. They are worth everything Smile,
 Start the smile down in your dla- phragm and let it creep up into the cor ners of that dropping mouth and wrlg- gle up into the corners of those lusterless eyes. Smile! It pays.

REMARKABLE ATHLETES.
Wonderful Records Made by Ancient
 Olympian Performers.

From London Answers.
 If we are to believe the records of feats performed on the Olympian plain and in the sacred grove of Altis, in Ath- ems, long before and long after our Christian era began, Greece boasted some athletes who could literally make tracks round their successors of today.
 Where, for instance, could we find a strong man who could hold hs own with Milo of Crotona, who thought nothing of carrying a 4-year-old helfer on his should CTS through the stadium of Olympia, and crowned this muscular performance by eating the animal in a single day? So sturdy were Milos legs that, standing on an oiled disk, the next strongest man Tn Greece could not make him budge a traction of an inch; while. by merely causing the veins in his head to swell, he

A Mary Brown MonoIoeue.

e<VXYYHO is that old maid wonder?
 N/ I'll tell you who she is.
 w Her name is Mary Brown, daughter of John Brown. You remember John? He was good hearted kind of ne'er-do-well.
 Mary looks a little old-yes, even when she is fixed up." But she has a good face don't you think? And she is just as good as she looks She is a woman with a past" but the past of Mary has nothing dishonorable in it.
 She is the oldest daughter and takes after her mother, who was a mighty nice woman who never had a chance. If you remember. they lived upstairs over a store building on Main street, Brown worked, when he felt we'll at painting and wall papering. He com plained that he had contracted painter 5 collie" and had never gotten over 1t. Well, John never was very strong, and that true. And one day when he was sub stitute over at the stave factory big knife machine cut off his right hand. After that he couldn't do much except at off jobs
 Mrs Brown? A smart little woman and ambitious She always kept the kids looking neat and clean-three of them be sides Mary-two boys and girl me woman just literally worked herself To death over the washtuh. Mary dla the homework and helped.
 When her mother died Mary was six teen years of age. That was fourteen wears ago. Yes. Mary is just thirty years of age. Mol
 We'll in all that fourteen years Mary Brown has scarcely had time to raise her eyes from her sewing at the cloak fae- tory. She got a dollar day for several years. She Is a forewoman now ana gets s9 a week. r...
 And. would you believe it. Mary BroWn has those boys and the girl just as well dressed as the average? She kept her sister in school through the grades. One hrotber. John junior, graduated last year in tbe high school He helped Mary a good deal by selling newspapers. The other hoy took a course in the buslhess college. and Mary can now take long breath ,,
 The old man? Oh. he earned a dollar occa asionally And he was pretty hahuy round the house Died year ago. He had very decent burial-Mary's money.
 That's who Mary Brown is.
 And somehow when you know what Mary has been and done. she is pretty good looking woman, don't you thihkF Good? She's as good as gold.
 And I'm telling you no secret when say one of the best men in this town IS going to marry Mary in the fall. lie knows what Mary is, and he thinks lot of her.
 Say there's many an old maid in this world just like Mary. l don't know now things would get along without some of them. But all of them are not as lucky as Mary more's the pity.

 Mama and baby Randall. in his high chair sat at the breakfast table, their backs to the fire. The room was not very warm.
 Little Helen, aged four years, sat be- side her father at the other end of the table Shiverng, she said:
 My back is cold If I was mama l would take my baby in my lap, and if had little girl about the size of me I'd let her sit where Randall is"

How They Get the Buns.

Morris Brown. crippled urchin of New York city. smashed the window oi bakers shop and was arrested
 Morris. who is Il years old, was sent oy his mother to buy buns. At the snop he met another boy who was on a Ike CT rand. Morris saw that the other boy got one more bun for his money, whereupoh be nrotested. There was a debate with the baker. and Morris was thrown oul' pursued by the bakers dog. The smashed window was the sequel ..De udder kid, he got more buns me and got more sugar on ms puns was the plea Morris made to the 1uoge' Which was a good plea
 The newspaper account does not give the outcome of the matter, but the llioi- dent and the boys plea are sugsestlNe' The boy voiced the American pea ol a "sallare deal" It is not fair that one how ar one citizen should get more buns and more sugar on his buns than auotilei IL One of the pressing problems IS the equitable distribution of wealth
 We say the American idea is that or "ea,lal rights for all, special privileges to none" and yet we know that certain spe- ciaI interests have been given undue ad- yantages. These interests have had more buns and more sugar on their puhs than they are entitled to-
 Therefore the righteous ploNSst9 '- eiN Morris Browns.
 When the little cripple's case was called in the police court the baker was repre- sented by a paid attorney but Morris hao to depend on the mercy of the court
 And here also the analogy holds
 The special interests that secure spe- cial privileges-extra buns-are represent ed in the courts by high priced lawyers The people elect young attorneys who are just beginning to practice and pay them a small salary to prosecute the rich criminals Is it any wonder the lat1er get away with the buns?
 That is why if a man steals loaf or bread to keep the woman he loves from starving he goes to the penitentary' while the banker who steals a million and robs widows and orphans gets off scot free Eminent attorneys find tech nicalities and the rich man gets away with the sugar covered buns.
 The case of the baker against Morris Brown is a typical one. If you will think over the incidents and the plea of the young citizen you will discover one cause Of the "social unrest.
 It is because of the buns.

should know. The troubles with
multiuudes of girls is a want OF
proper nourishment and enough
of it. Nowadays they call this
condition by the learned name OF
Anemia. But words change no

up to maturity and need especial
watchfulness and care. Alas,
how many break down at this

losses is the saddest in the his

NORRIE WANTS UNCLE SAM
TO PUT IN A WANT AID.
Time to Get in and Restore the Postoffce Which
KamueIa Lost Some Time Ago---Great
Dane on Warpath.

Editor Advertiser: Will you kindly
allow me space to call the attention
of the proper authorities to the in
convenience and injustice to the peo-
caused by the closing of the Kamuela
postoffice? This office was centrally
located and has, in fact, existed as long
as there has been a postal service in
these islands. Alleged irregularities in
the conduct of the office by the late
incumbent naturally would cause his
removal as postmaster. but that the
residents of the district should be pun
ished for the fault of a Federal en-
ploye surely seems unreasonable and
unfair. The postoffice at Kawaihae,
through which we are now obliged to
get our mail, is twelve miles from
Waimea, or Kamuela, as the postal
department has redubbed the ancient
village; twenty miles from Mana,
where a considerable mail is always
received, and sixty miles from Humu-
ula sheep ranch. to which place an
other large mail is weekly addressed.
Kawaihae is, moreover, simply a land
ing-place for the upland district. a
place where no one ever has any bust
ness except swearing and killing mos
quitoes while waiting for a steamer;
while at Waimea there is a district
court, a sheriff, a school, a district
physician, two churches. two livery
stables, hotel. the office of the Iarg-
est ranch in the Territory. the office
of the Hamakua Ditch Co, besides it
being the center of all overland trav-
cling between the different coast towns
of the island.
The closing of any postoffice seems
TO me a backward step in the march of
civilization, and when it is done with
out any known valid reason. it seems
only right that the attention of the
Washington authorities should be call
ed to the matter. If no one can be
found to take the office on the terms
which heretofore have been granted
the postmaster-a pittance which. in
connection with a heavy bond, offered
no induCement-then let Uncle Sam
pay a reasonable salary, and undoubt-
eddy some responsible person living in
Waimea can be found willing to take
the position. When business hous,
or plantation is in need of an en-
ploye. they put want adj in your
columns. and take their pick from the
applicants Why can not the L s
postoffice authorities be equally bust
nesslike and then find out whether it
really is necessary to close a much
needed old postoffice for want of a
competent man or woman TO serve
their country. 1t has been limited that
if petition from the residents of the
district We're sent to the Postmaster
General the matter of reopening the
postoffice would be considered.

Skipping Cheese" and the work of the
famous New York police dogs showing
how tho track criminals and aid the
regular police in many ways. The
trials of the man who marries for mill
lions are shown in a realistic manner
as lis the suffering of the gold seeker
when lost in a desert in Arizona. Fun
in a cab will bring to mind experiences
many in Honolulu have passed through

ANIMALS DOCTOR THEMSELVES

Man might often take from the low
himself when i'll. All sorts of animals
suffering from fever eat little, lie quiet
in dark, airy places, and drink quanti-
ties of water. When a dog loses his
appetite he knows where to find CHEN
dent-dog grass-which acts as pur-
gative and emetic. Sheep and cows,
when i'll, seek certain herbs. Any ami
NAL suffering from chronic rheuma-
tism keeps as far as possible in the
sun. If a chimpanee be wounded he
has been seen to stop the bleeding by
a plaster of chewed-up leaves and
grass.-Kansas City Journal.
