This week has been an unusually

eric Haskin' 5 writeup of Hawaii. we
mailed a large number of the Oabr
folder, and also posted much other mat
ter to addresses handed in by different
| parties, besides taking care of a large
| correspondence.
The Mark Twain mantelpiece has at
| tracted a great many visitors during
the past week, all of whom were loud
! in their praises of Mr. Otremba 5 bean
/ tiful piece of work. The mantel will
be removed for packing on Monday
next and viii be shipped as soon as
possible thereafter.

pressing the hope that, when the man
tel IS in place, he may have special
photograph taken for us showing him
seated by his freside.
We are informed that there is a
movement on foot looking to the hold

Honolulu. We have written offering
to cooperate in the way of sending our
folders where requested, and will also
see that our weekly news sheet Is
placed on file with the secretary of
every Elk lodge, provided it is def
pitely ascertained that the movement
to hold the convention here has COCA
backing,
We learn with pleasure that the first

inence are already in the field and,

the United States.

The fact that the first bank failure
In Oklahoma after the law went into
effect, was followed by immediate re
endorsement Of the depositors, proves
nothing as to the practicability Of the
system In the long run. The fact that
The State banks Of Oklahoma have
gained deposits since the system went
into operation, while national banks
within the State have lost, II trne,
proves nothing as to the merits Of the
system. The law itself requires that
all public deposits must be kept In
banks that belong to the system, and
this provision alone would cause a con.
siderable transfer Of deposits ana In.

his veranda would become spectacle for
faculty and students, yea, and the Philistines of
the town. Then the image of Laura thoughtful,
patient ready-witted Laura, glowed in the dark
ness and his conscience smote him. Would she
upbraid him or would she hasten to his side to
help him bear his bitter humiliation? horrible
trembling seized his limbs, and the cold perspira-
ton stood out on his brow He had heard of fatal
congestive chills. Perhaps he was going to die
there in the wind and rain, with no one to smooth
his dying pillow. Nay, worse with not even dy-
ing pillow to smooth.
Hallam, when he had made the detour of kitchen,
dining-room and library half dozen times, con-
ceived the idea of going up the back stairway and
coming down the front one His shins were parked
and bleeding; but his purpose in life, so far
as that night concerned, was to find the re-
ception hall. At last he felt the soft Persian rug
under his bare feet
Take courage, Benje, I'm coming!" he shouted
as he fell headlong the umbrella stand. Gath
ering himself up, he opened the door, and the
dripping, trembling figure crept in.
"Why Benjamin Eliot this door wasn't locked
Hallam said, he set the bolt
Wasn't locked" the Professor calculated.
"Thunderation! didn't once think to try it."

Professor Eliot crept close to the door and
waited, his one narrow, wet garment clinging to
his shivering limbs and his teeth chattering dis
mally How long he waited history does not
record At length the truth dawned upon him
Halam had lost the way!
The house was of those labyrinthine struc-
lures so popular with modern builders. From an
octagonal hall on the second floor six doors opened
into as many apartments, while stairway at the
north, with one bend in it, led to the reception
hall, and at the west led to the pantry and
thence to the laundry. Hallam, unfamiliar with
the house. in Stygian darkness and still half
asleep, took the wrong stairway and soon found
himself cropping about among the wash tubs and
fruit jars.
Meanwhile Professor Eliot shouted for Forde;
but Forde answered not. He was ENJOYING the
sumber of man, whose digestion is in prime con-
diton. Time was passing The morning would
come and the Professor of Metaphysics prisoner

For a moment the Professor stood staring blank
ly at the closed door. Then he went as near the
edge of the veranda as the rain would permit and
called loudly for Hallam. No response! Grasping
the lamp until his fingers cramped, he crept out
onto the walk, and, gathering up a handful of
gravel hurled it against the upstairs window.
Presently Hallam appeared
whats wanted?" he asked sleepily when a
vivid flash of lightning revealed the drenched
figure of his friend. "Benjie what the deuce are
you doing down there?" he exclaimed
Never mind what I'm doing; but come down
and open the door I'm in ague already" the
Professor groaned.

A LETTER THAT DID NOT WORK.

A certain well-known author in Chicago whose
books have an international vogue, and who is
also noted among his familiars for his convlvlal
ways conceived one day very cute scheme ne
thought for explaining to his wife and at the
same time proving the explanation, beyond all
possibility of doubt as to why he had stayed out
SO late that night as he contemplated doing He
got an intimate friend to write MIN letter telnng
him that a great publisher wished to see the
author that night at his club, for long talk
about book that the publisher wished to have
written
The author stayed down town and had a bril-
liant time with boon companions. A day or two
after he met the friend who had so accommodate
ingly written the letter, and instead of onering
gratitude he exclaimed at sight:
"You blamed ninny! What did you seal that let
ter for? I put it in my pocket just as you had
given it to me and when my wife asked me next
morning why / had stayed out so late that night
| Indignantly asked her to dig a letter out OF my
pocket that would tell her why stayed, and init
mated to her that I would prefer that she
wouldn't NEEDLE with the manner in which
earned a living for her and the children"
"She got out the letter and said If | were you
| would read such important letters The seal had
never been broken"

but he seems to use only fullstops.

society news would be hollow mockery and the
baseless fabric of a dream.
