GOOD AND NICE.
a Distinction with a Difference By
Small Child.


a Small Child.
From the SeT Bedford Standard.
TIE small child was saying her pray
ers. This was part Of her petition: 20
God. make all the bad people good, and
make al the good people-an the good
people-the good people-nice-'
New here was a prayer worth praying.
Little Alice must have been familiar
with somesof those people whose effort at
being good has been SC misdirectsd that
i has worn in their nerves. or those
other people who are so good IN their
Own estimation that seem 70 carry almost
visible labels to that effect stamped ali
over them. and who intimate that by
comparison pretty much everything and
everybody is simply horrid- Such good
ness IS trying and breeds SkepticisEn-
We can hardly help doubling its sterling
quality. II doesn't ring true. Real good
ness can't be so austere, harsh. critical,
unkiRdly, pTiggish. selfish, complacent,
we rightly say. Real goodness must at
tract and not repeI. We may feel sure.
There must be something wrong about a
goodness that f1aunteth itself. 10 the Tuf-
fling OF the atmosphere through which
i passes. So We may well pray not to
be good. but to be nice.
Skill in the use OF words may be ueces-
sary 70 express the fine shade of mean
ing between the two adjectives. but not
a large degree OF sensitiveness IS required
TO feel T. Inyoluntarily the difference
was suggested by the housewife who.
taking down a Jar OF preserves about
whose keeping quality she had felt con-
cerned, said with relief as she tasted 4:
Yes. It's good and added immedi-
ately. and !t's nice, too" That Il should
be good would have been enough 10 show
her s careful and cleaniy worker. but
that Il should be attractive TO the taste
proved her an artist in the relation OF
fruit TO preserving kettle. Just 20 be
good would have been a great deal. in
being fTfee from mold snl germs and
bacteria, but that Il should be nice was
the crowning point
And so it is in people. Il is not enough,
to be really good. that We should merely
escape the workings OF the germs and
bacteria OF badness within Us We must
look 70 the flavor OF the goodness. Good
ness that is strong and gentle. pure and
loving is pretty sure 70 be nice; and so
acceptable and effective.

Magical Pictures.

While preparing the photographs 1t is
simple matter to stop the FIN in the cam
era and make changes in a group. Thus
a dummy is substituted for an actor iust
before 2 train is supposed to strike him.
A dol or a Teddy bear may seem to move
on lanter screen by taking each photo
graph separately and changing the poses
very Slightly between times. Such substi-
tutions also explain the so-called "magi-
cal pictures originated By Males 2
magician, IN Paris. in which objects dis
appear or characters are 'materiaIized"
in an instant seemingly from nowhere.
Such tricks, though, sometimes mis-
carry. There was. for instance. a set of
moving pictures showing a photographer
hit by an express train. An actor, imper-
soDatiEg the photographer was re-
hearsed to select pretty rural view from
q railroad track in New Jersey. AS he
was focusing his camera the train was
20 come along and strike him Il was to
be a real express train at fun speed. At
the critical moment the moving picture
camera was to be stopped and a dummy
substituted for the supposed photog-
rapher.
The man sent out to tell the engineer

HOME FOR AGED
BALDWIN s PLAN

Through the public.spirlted philan-
thropy of Mr.. II. p. Baldwin. the Ter
ritory of Hawaii will soon have a home
for the aged, In memory OF Fred c..
Baldwin, to be located at Makawao.
Maui. Plans for the home. are being
prepared by Architect Kerr. and ac-
tive construction work will be UNDER
taken in about two months time. when
Mr.. Baldwin will have returned from
n trip to the mainland.
The first buildings of the home will
accommodate about forty people, and
provision will be made for the extern
sion and enlargement of the home to
meet the requirements of the future.
Homelike accommodations and pri-
vacy are the two essentials that
Architect Kerr has obtained in the
preliminary plan for the home that he
has drawn up.
The buildings that will be first con-
structed viii consist of four cottages,
two to consist OF eight rooms each
and two to have six rooms. There
will be general sltting-room In each
cottage. The cottages will be connect
ed with the main building by veran-
das. the general plan of the buildings
calling for the adaptation Of the quad
rangle system.
In the main building will be To-
Gated the quarters for the help. offices,
dining-room. hospital and auxiliary
departments. In the center of the
grounds there will be Il sun bath, u
swimming pool and a pergola.
The site for the home has been set
aside by the Maui Agricultural Com
pany and is an excellent one for the
purpose In view. Particular attention
has been made so as to allow for the
enlargement Of the home In the fu-
ture If It be found necessary.
II is estimated that the cost of the
buildings now planned will amount to
100000, all of which has been contrib
uted by Mr.. Baldwin.

JUVENILE COURT
NOW IN ACTION
(From Sundays Advertiser.)


The Juvenile Court is now in full
swing, with Circuit Judge whitney
acting as interpreter of the law that
was drawn UP by himself while he
was serving as chief deputy to Attor-
ney General Hemenway.
Judge Whitney judges the youth OF
the land In his chambers, and has al
ready indicated that he believes
leniency and advice go farther than
summary punishment, Samuel Smith.
however, did not yield to the gentle
and persuasive influence. and as re-
suit Samuel is bound for the Boys In
dustrial School, to there remain until
he is qualified to become n voter.
The boy was brought before Judge
Whitney last week and was allowed
to go at liberty upon his promise to
secure u position and report back to
the judge of the Juvenile Court on
Wednesday, He did not return, how
ever, but did secure position and
made use of the opportunity to sell
bicycle that did not belong to him
and spend the proceeds in a general
jollihcation. Judge whitney does not
like TO send youthful Offenders to the
reform school. but he was reluctantly
forced to decide that II was the best
place for Samuel in view of his APP
parent frailtles.
The Question Of Stratus.
Attorney Leon straus must make ex-
plantations. Attorney General Hemen-
way having been asked by Judge Do
Bolt to investigate the conduct of
l,, AL,
cases in which Attorney Glen X.
Quinn appeared.
1t seems that Quinn did all OF the
work in connection with drawing the
divorce papers and appearing in court.
and that Straus secured the fees and
costs, neither of which got farther
than his own pocket. To this Quinn
has naturally objected, and his stale
ment of the circumstances to Judge
De Bolt convinced the latter that
| Straus' conduct was well worthy the
attention of the Attorney General
The charges against Straus arise
mainly in connection with the divorce
action instituted by Mrs. Nellie
| Thomas against her husband, King c.
| Thomas. Mrs. Thomas is victim of
consumption and can live but few
weeks at the most. Her husband. an
ablebodied man, was summoned to APP
pear in court yesterday and explain
why he had not obeyed a court order
to pay the costs of the divorce action.
1t was then that Attorney Quinn made
explanations, and his references to
Straus' conduct convinced Judge De
Bolt that the charges should be inves-
| tigated.

JAP STRIKERS APPEAR TO BE WEAKENING
Agitators Hurry Down
to the Plantations to
Brace Them Up.
(From Sundays Advertiser.)
. . = . = . . . . . 80 %
LATEST FROM THE STRIKE.

From what could be gathered
of the results of yesterdays de-
velopments in the strike situa-
ton, II is believed that the
strikers are weakening and that
they did not move toward Ho-
nolulu, especially from waipahu
and Aiea, with the alacrity
hoped for by the agitators. For,
this reason, 1t is said that Ma
kino, Negoro. the editor of the
Nippu, and other subordinates,
made a special trip in an auto
not only to Aiea and Waipahu,
but to Waialua and Kahuku as
well, in order to stir up more
enthusiasm and to cause the
leaders on the plantations to
force the strikers into a firmer
attitude toward the planters. A
report reached this office late
last night that only two hum
bred men came to town yes
terday. Around the plantation
offices yesterday it was under
stood that very large num-
Der of the Japanese preferred
not only to remain on the
plantation, but to actually go
back to their work. but some
peculiar influence of the leaders
held them back.

of formation of family by us, the la

Strike Headquarters.
There are two sets of strike head
quarters in town. one in the Yama-
shiro Hotel, the proprietor being one
of the principal agitators, and the
other on Aala street, where sacks of
rice are piled high and labeled as rice
for strikers. 1t was to the latter place
that delegation of strikers from
Aiea went on the arrival of the 1880
p. m. train yesterday. They came to
town with their light luggage. At the
Aala street headquarters they were
lined up, excited headquarters clerks
went over lists and finally the bunch
was set in motion again and this time
up Beretania avenue, across the river,
into Chinatown. And so they will be
taken care of until the agitators tire
of the matter and the strikers fall
apart, and then the Consul may ex-
pect his hands full.
On Aala lane a large tent was
erected yesterday and long tables set
up. Here large number of strikers
will be fed. While the tables were
being placed, strikers sat about eager
