Mr.. Hamilton Of Michigan, did
not catch that.
Mr., Finley. Would it not be better
to permit homesteaders to take up
these public lands in the first instance?
Is it not true that holdings OF re,l Us
tate by individuals in Hawaii are very
limited in acreage, and is not that one
of the troubles there?
Mr. Hamilton of Michigan. Not very
limited because the acreage is consid-
cradle, AS to second-class land, they
may have 16 acres.

actual holdings.
Mr.. Hamilton of Michigan, Yes.
Mr. Finley, My recollection Is that
the average holdings Of land by the
people of Hawaii are very, very small.
Mr. Hamilton of Michigan No; |
think the gentleman is mistaken. Bal
ancing the small holdings against the
large holdings, the average holding
would be large. The difficulty in Ha-
wall is that the lands themselves III

of that.
Mr.. Hamilton Of Michigan. 1t takes
large capital; the rocks have to be re-
moved and the Jungle has to be taker
off in order to get the land ready fol
the crops. They have to put on a steam
pillow to break the land up, and ther
water must be conducted from Ions
distance to the land and the land mus
have irrigation, so that II is obvious
that the land can not be held in larg
holdings by men of'small means.

THE TELL-TALE THUMB.

TIL thumb which bends back easily
personifies great adaptability. ex-
travagance, brilliancy and versatility
The owner of such a thumb Is al
home in changing circumstances-in
fact, is home anywhere-is generally
sympathetic, sentimental and. as a
rule, improvident.
They are easily reached through
their hearts, and 1t is difficult for
them to pass a beggar on the street
without contributing a mite.
The owner of stiff thumb is prac-
tical, matter of fact, economical, ex-
acting and weighs everything care
fully.
He is the possessor of strong will
and is stubbornly determined.
He is cautious, reserved and seldom
impressionable or cares to invite con.
fidence.
Such a person has a great power
to accumulate by plodding.
The owner of a stiff thumb cannot
make his money as easily. nor has he
the power of making as much. as the
more timber thumbed individual, but
what he makes he is generally able
to hold.
He is no extremist, and enjoys a
quiet life, seldom cares to flaunt, is
not erratic, and prefers to stick to one
thing. g..-Pittsburg Dispatch.
