We would become a nation and world of degen-

Gates of Socialism what they will do with all these
men whose vocations they will DESTROY and they
tell you: eve will give them access TO the ma

man OF average intelligence scout these ludicrous
and visionary schemes he is denounced as ignor-
ant and alphabetically minded
Under conceivable species of government
will any elective body of men unfold such glorious
atrustlc hearts to ceaselessly look after the
interests of all their fellows The twelve apostes
inspired by the Holy Spirit of God Almighty, were
not very much concerned about economic prob

know that if man lives a righteous life he will
never die of starvation. The multitudes followed
Christ because He had fed them unto suficienc.

PATIENT WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend, when thou and | are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor
When small shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from neighbor.
Past all the strife. the toll. the care.
And done with all the signing,
What tender truth shall we have gained.
Alas! by simply dying.
Then lips so chary of their praise
VIII tell our merits over;
And eyes too swift our faults 10 see
Shall no defect discover
Then hands that would not life stone
Where stones were thick to cumbcT
Our steep hill path, Will scatter flowers
Above our pillowcd slumber.
Sweet friend pcrchancc both thou and I.
Ere love is past forgiving.
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
Today's reprcssed rebukc may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when kecnest edge
May whet nameless sorrow.
It's easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shamcs our ciamor
And easy to discern the best
Through memorv's mystic glamour;
But wise it were for thee and me
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.

NELSON GETS
HIS CHANCE

The matching of Battling Nelson and
Joe Cans is but the natural result of
a controversy which has been going
on for two years between the pair of
lightweight cracks. Nelson has never
been satisfied with the result of the
bout at Goldfield on Labor Day 1906,
and has many times stated that he
did not foul the colored man, but that
Cans quit.
He has been more than anxious to
get Cans in the ring again to dem
onstrate that fact, and has never for
a moment let up in his efforts to Sc
cure a return match.
Forty-five rounds is a long route,
and while it looks as If in the earlier
stages of the game 1t will be all Cans,
it is equally certain that the longer
they battle the better will be the
chances for Nelson. His forte has
been endurance and his ability to live
under punishment. If he still pos
sesses that valuable asset he may
prove a big surprise to Cans when
they clash in the famous arena at
Colma.

Conscience and climate had gotten on

excused himself and stayed aboard to
rest and write back pages of the log.
The party was taken TO Pearl Har-
Dor by railway, the company furnish
ing transportation in a special ear.
Mr. MacfarTane's house was beauti-
fully decorated. Especially striking
were big banana plants that had been
cut off and brought into the house,
giving the place the appearance Of a
palm garden. A beautiful feature of
the entertainment was that the ladies
of the house and their friends served
at table-thus enhancing the merits of
a delicious luncheon. There were usual
and unusual speeches; then the guests
were taken upon saiiboats upon the
marvellous channel Commodore Tut

skipper had evidently under estimated

on coral reef. Another boat came

The Helene sailed back TO Honolulu
and on the way our old New England

dences Of seamanship that Captain
Whitney asked him to take charge Of
the boat.
Stimson has just told me about it
all. The Helene made record breaking
time. encountered no rocks, sprung no
leaks. carried away no spars. not a
man of the crew was lost. not even

glory of his achievement Stimmy

tradict him. II is wonderful how

given by the visitors to the Hawaii

connected with the ocean a big shark

Anemone was high and dry on the

packed our grips and then returned to

decorated A big round table repre-

yachts in miniature-Lurline, Anem-
one and La Paloma. Four wings were
added TO the centerpiece. At the head
of one sat Governor Carter; over the
other three. Captains Macfarlane, Tut

CHANCE TO
LOWER DEBIT

Tuesday evening for the benefit of the

peal to all good sportsmen.
There is still balance TO the bad

this benefit will result in a material
reduction of said debit.
Popular prices will prevail and the
house should be packed. 1t is up to
the local yachtsmen and the public
generally to show that they take d
material as well as sentimental in

see the Nippon win out, but the Chi
nese lads turned the trick on them
by the score of IL to 3.
1t was an unlucky day for the Nip
pons, for Jack Flores and Michi. the
two star players of the team, were both
laid up. Flores absence hurt the team
the most. for he is one of the best
pitchers in the league, and if he had
been in the game, the Japanese might
have won out.
