THE QUIET LIFE.

THE QUIET LIFE.
Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound.
Content to breathe his native air
In mis- own ground.
Whose herds With mix, whose helda
with bread,
Whose aocks supply him with at
tire,
Whose trees IN summer yield hin
shade.
In winter ere,
Biest who can unconcernedly find
Hours. days and years slide soft
away
In health of body. peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night, study and ease
Together mixed, sweet recreation
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen. unknown;
Thus unlamented. let me die
Steal from the world and not a stone
Tell where I lie

HIL0 TOWN IN
NEED OF CLEANING

HILO, October 19-'' What the PEG
.ple of Hilo ought to do is to clean up
%heir town. The condition prevailing
is not only unsanitary, but it provides
every possible opportunity for con-
fagration"
This statement was made by \. R..
Gurrey, of the board of fire under
writers, who is spending some weeks in
this city looking into local conditions
and obtaining data for use of the
board:
my business takes me to practical
" every building in town, in the back
yards and the alleyways,' continued
Mr.. Gurrev. "And ! have been amazed
at the conditions which I have found.
Behind the stores and the houses you
viii find great piles of rubbish, paper,
old boxes. rags, in fact all kinds of
stuff which can be of no conceivable
use to any one, and which should be
burned promptly instead of being al
lowed to accumulate for untold ages.
''Of course. such condition must be
unsanitarv: these rubbish piles which
yeu fnd everywhere are ideal breeding

point of view it is intolerable, -

WOMEN TABU ON
AMERICAN WAPSHIPS
Wife of Admiral Evans Explains Why
Fair Sex Is Barred.

Why are the wives of American of
fcers barred from battleships?
This question, which has puzzled the
fair sex for years, has at last been
answered by Mrs. Robley D. Evans,
wife of America s foremost naval of
ficer, She has let out the secret of the
mysterious regulation, and has told
how one of her own sex, in doing a
humane act, brought about the barring
of women from warships
Some years ago Mrs. Evans accom-
panied her husband, who was then in
command of a warship, on a cruise in
tropical waters
While IN one of the American
ports the wife Of an officer was seated
on deck one evening enjoying the
breezes when a man crept up out of
the eompanionway and presented him
self before her.
He pleaded he was a wronged and
defeated South American revolutionist
and begged for protection. She finally
consented to hide him in the ship
hold.
Little realizing the international com
plications which hung upon her action,
she was convinced of having done
good deed.
This conviction lasted. however, no
longer than the next day. when far
out at sea the hidden desperate was
found by one of the ships crew.
Glow did he get aboard?' was the
instant inquiry.
That someone had assisted him and

that consequently there was traitor
aboard one of Uncle Sans battleships
was the immediate conclusion.
Then it was that the frightened and
shamefaced "traitor'' appeared and
told her story. This story, even though
it involved the wife of an officer, was
at once sent to Washington. Then there
was mighty cutlery.
Much red tape was unwound and
heated discussions at the navy depart
ment were held. And, finally, the au-
thorities made the rule banishinp
women from warships.
