"If you have it authoritatively," said
Rivenburg, what more do you want?
You must excuse me for l have to
check up these invitations"
Just then half-a-dozen townsmen
called to use their influence to get GER
tain tourists or hotel guests or main
land visitors invited to the function.
Everything has been arranged for
the entertainment and edification of
the distinguished guests who are 10

as the Mayors department is con-
cerned.
There will be eight huge tables at
the luau: the Seaside Hotel has kind
ly promised to throw open its delight
/ ful dancing pavilion. The calendar
declares that the moon will be bright
and there will therefore be the oppor-
tunity of moonlight bathing and surf
ing. and tete-a-tetes on the sandy
shore One big table, or perhaps two,
will be occupied by the congressman
and their lady folks, the Governor, the
Mayor, the Secretary of the Territory,
the Delegate to Congress and other
prominents. The rest will be seated
where they can be accommodated. If
everybody who is invited should come
there will be an even thousand at the
fest. There will be hulas for the ms
uuction of the visitors. There will
be Bergers band and a Hawaiian quin-
tet.
There will be fifteen different dishes
for each guest all Hawaiian dishes and
all of the most famous kind. There
will be in reserve a few knives and
forks for the timid and uninitiated, but
it is expected that most of the guests
will. in Hawaiian luau style, use their
fingers for feeding their respective
faces.
Beer is quite problem and there
will be a special meeting this after

local beer for local people and main

THE KINDNESS OF LINCOLN.

When Thomas Lincoln was moving
from Pigeon Creek, Indiana, to their
Illinois home his son, Abraham,
proved the extreme kindness of his
heart in at least two instances. On
both of these occasions the kindness
was to animals. And that speaks
volumes. In those days there was
no Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals. There were next
to no schools, let alone refined teach.
ers to jnstill in the mind of the little
western boy lessons of kindness. But
his mother had taught him to be kind
above all else. This seed fell into a
heart naturally kind. Many time
the wheels oftheir great moving wag-
ons sank hub deepin the mire. Abra-
ham was first to put his shoulder to a
wheel and give the long suffering OK
en- help. Their little dog in crossing
one stream got left behind. The
puppy set up pitiful yelping. And,
though he wasn't worth going after,
Abraham waded back after him bare.
footed. He wouldn't even take the
cattle back through the icy water.
Having waded across he picked up
the now happy dog and waded back
again. This was in the severest win
ter weather. His only explanation
was, II cannot bear to see even
puppy in distress"

PROFANITY IN BOYS.

1t is a regrettable fact that prafani-
ty has become common among the
boys. 1t is not in the least out ofthe
ordinary, where a group of boys of 10
to IS years are together upon the
street or in an open space to play a
game of ball, to hear them using oaths
that might suit the tongues of the
proverbial fshwife or costermonger,
but which are shocking falling from
the tongues of children of tender years.
Of all stupid and silly vices, pro-
family is one of the worst and most
abominable. A simple statement of
fact is much stronger than any state
ment embeilished with swear words,
and no lie is made any the more be-
lieveable by being framedin profanity.
In fact, both truth and falsehood are
weakened by swearing and taking the
Lords name in vain. Foul epithets
and comparisons are not convincing,
but are almost invariably disgusting,
except to those making use of them.
Profanity among men seems to be
growing less and less, at least in pub
lie places and among those who may
lay claim to decency and some edu-
cation. But the habit seems to have
firmly fixed itself upon great many
of the boys, who may imagine it man.

~ owe you debt of gratitude for
sheltering my daughter and you shall
hear from me again"
Tiilie opened her hand and crisp
five-dollar bill lay upon her palm.
She had rever owned so much money
in her life before and she gazed at it
in pleased wonder. How long the
time seemed till night, for then she
expected her parents home. At last
they drove slowly into the yard and
from the expression of sadness upon
their faces, she knew their errand had
been fruitless one.
"Your fathers friend was unable
to make us the loan, and he has come
home feeling utterly discouraged"
said Mrs. Clifford, as she sank weari
ly into chair.
"I'm so sorry" said Tillie, with
trembling lips, "but it isn't so bad to
lose our home as though some one of
us had been killed or gone crazy"
Then, as her father entered soon
after, Tillie told all about the events
of the previous day and night.
AS they realized the danger that
had threatened their only child, Mrs.
Clifford exclaimed, thankfully:
"You were right, Tillie, in saying
that our trouble is not the worst that
could befall us we'll bear it with be-
coming fortitude, now that all our
lives are spared"
A few evenings after, while the
family were sitting together in the
twilight, neighbor, who had been
to the postofice, threw a letter into
the open door.
Tillie lighted a candle and her father
gazed curiously at the direction and
the postmark.
"Whom can it be from ?" he ex-
claimed, turning it over and over in
his hand.
"Why, father, open it and see"
said Tillie, laughing, "that's the
quickest way to find out"
He did so, and check for FIVE hun
dred dollars fell out.
"Here, Tillie, read it," he said,
with a trembling voice. II can't
think what it means"
1t read thus:

afflicted child. beg that you will use the money

her hands with delight, "that will

"We can thank God," he said !;
"what a merciful Providence sent
that young woman to onr door,"
"God has many ways of bringing
about the same result, said Mrs. Cliff
ford, reverently. I have had faith to
believe He would help us in our trou-
BILE, but I never dreamed it would
come in the way it has. How can we
be thankful enough?"

went upon a journey and when they
returned they brought with them a
clear title to the little homestead.

TO SIMPLIFY CURRENCY NOTES.

The plan to systematic designs for
United States notes and coin certif-
Gates has been approved by Assistant
Secretary of Treasury Coolidge. The
scheme is one of uniformity In por-
trait and general design for notes of
the same denomination of each class.
Under the plan adopted, all classes
of notes of each denomination will
carry the same portrait and no por-
trait will appear on the notes of more
than one denomination, nor will any
portrait be used which will not be i'm
mediately recognized by every person
who handles money.
The one dollar silver certificate will
carry the portrait of Washington f;
two dollar silver certificates the por-
trait of Jefferson. The five dollar
note whether silver certificate or green
back will carry the portrait of Lin
coin the ten dollar gold and silver
certificates and United States notes

that of Jackson the fifty dollar that
of Grant the one hundred dollar
that of Franklin the five hundred

Kansas newspapers are passing

that it Is good. 1t is to the effect that

"No, there is not.''
Anything for Jane Murphy?"
Nothing"

"No."
Anything for Tom Murphy ?"
"No."
Anything for Bob Murphy?"
"No, not bit"

black or white, franchised or unfran-
chised, naturalized or otherwise. No,
there is positively nothing for any OF
the Murphys, either individually,
jointly, severally, now and forever,
one and inseparable."
The girl looked at the postmaster
in astonishment, and said: "Please
do look if there is anything for Clar-
ence Murphy.
