The Canadian Australian steamer
Makura with the largest list of cabin
passengers ever carried by one of the
vessels of that line, arrived yesterday
afternoon and does not sail till five
o'clock tonight. She brought $50 tons
of cargo for this city and a great part
of the delay was caused by the fact
that stevedores could not be obtained
to discharge the cargo. The greater
part of those regularly employed at
this work are now at Aiea and Eva
plantations, where the work is steady
for the time being at least.

A Pulling Letter.

A business communication in
Arabic recently reached Il Man
chester firm and when translated
by Syrian interpreter proved to
contain a request for the price Of
coppering two water sheep" of GER
tain given dimensions. The trans
lator was confident of his version,
but admitted that he did not know
what "water sheep" could be. For
the moment even the heads of the

KEEP CHEERFUL.
Use Logic Even When You Have
Cause For Feeling Blue.

Whoever went through an entire
season without seeing ray Of sun
shine? And yet when we have the
blues how often we sit down and
prognosticate a future for ourselves
without a single mitigating circum-
stance in it to warrant us in not
swallowing tablespoonful of
strychnine and getting through
with our troubles all at once.
There are few out Of custody
foolish enough to abandon all hope
on dark, rainy day and say: "Now
| know that it is always going to
rain. 1t never can be any brighter.
Nothing will ever happen to make
it stop, and | rather expect it to
keep on getting worse and worse"
1t may rain for day or two, and
sometimes things are pretty soppy
for a week, but we all know that it
will stop eventually, so bear with
our rubbers and umbrellas and
leaky roofs and wet wood and mud
dy floors with fair degree of phi
losophy, always looking out hurried
ly the first thing in the morning
for drying weather.
Now, why can't people be as log
ical about their hard luck as they
are about the weather and not let
blue day make them sure it's bound
to last?
Nobody ever keeps right on
breaking her best china plates or
spelling twelve egg cakes or max
ing both dress sleeves for one arm.
Very few break their legs or arms
more than once or twice in a life
time. Not many have typhoid fe-
yer more than once. Then why
can't people when they are getting
their dose of such trouble pull
themselves together for the strain,
all the time saying over and over so
that they won't for a minute for
get it: "Never mind. Everybody
has to take a turn. A thing like
this is sure not to last forever.

AN ABSENT PART.
The Budding Actor Was a Success a'
Carlos the Fiddler.

''The son of a wealthy old friend
of mine, being stagestrLN6, joined
out with a travelling opera company.
I met him loafing and strutting
about hotel in a small town." said
the veteran actor.
"Come over to the opera house
and see the show said he.
81 went, but l saw no signs of
this young man on the stage, nor
was his name on the program.
Afterward | met him in the lobby
Of the hotel.
"1 did not recognize any of the
characters as you,' l remarked.
What part are you playing?
"'Why, l am playing the part OF
Carlos the Fiddler said he.
"'There was no such part
"'Oh, yes, there was. Didn't you
notice how they talked about him?
In the first act, in order to get the
chorus off stage, didn't the SOU
brette put her hands over her eyes,
look off L. 4 E. and say, ooh, girls,
Carlos the Fiddler is going to have
a dance on the green; let us
hasten or we will miss it," then
burst into song and skip off? You
bet she did.

when the bell is tOlled without,

awful lot Of bark ", for who is

they only talk about you. You

must remember | am as yet raw

way to fame and glory, though the
path may be strewn with thorns.'

lineoln's Book and Baby BUGGY

Lincoln is never spoken of in his
family relations but as a kind hus-
band and devoted father. After
they had their own home on Eighth
street and his children were grow
ing up around him, one of his
neighbors tells me that she remem-
bers him best as a great tall man
in his shirt sleeves, gently moving
a baby buggy on the lawn while one
long arm and hand held a book
which he devoured. She, a little
girl then, remembers little more of
him until long after, when she saw
him as president in Washington,
and he came out to see her, extend
ing his hand as cordially and simply
as he might have done over the gar
den fence, with, "Why, Annie, how
glad Bob will be to know you're

he GOT THE CHANGE.
Then Hs Get q Jolt When He Got
Back to His Wife.


After haggling for twenty min
utes over the price the dealer finally
consented to let the vase 90 for
1919. Mrs. Brownlee knew she was
getting a bargain at that price, SO
she considerably refrained from in
sisting upon further reduction.
"Have you the money with you to
pay for it?" she said to Mr.. Brown
lee.
'1'ye $10," said Brownlee.
"That'll do" she replied. "The
man can change it,"
Somewhat reluctantly Mr.. Brown
lee produced the bill. With equal
reluctance the dealer refused it.
"No gotta change" he said. "Sat-
day aftonoon. Put ala da mon ina
da bank"
"But aren't there other shops
near where they will change it for
you?" asked Mrs. Brownlee.
"No leava shop" the Italian e1-
planned. "Boy coma home. Other
customer he wanta buy. Gotta stay
here"
Mrs. Brownlee was disappointed,
hut not discouraged.
81 must say" she said, rather Sc
verely, chat you don't seem very
anxious to make a sale. However, l
am bound to have that vase. Dear"
to Brownlee, Suppose you get the
bill changed. You'll only have to
60 down to the corner and buy a
cigar"
Mr.. Brownlee already had six
cigars in his pocket, but he obedi-
emily made a trip to the nearest to-.
bacconist's for another. He selected
strong, black cigar worth Is cents
and offered the ten dollar bill in
payment.
SMALLEST you've got?" asked the
clerk.
Brownlee lied and said it was.
Sorry said the clerk. 81 can't
change it. This is Saturday after
noon, and we've put most of our
money in the bank"
Mr.. Brownlee returned the cigar
and renewed his quest for small
change. The pursuit took him to
two more cigar stores, two groceries,
drug store and saloon. In the
latter place, by appealing to all the
other thirsty customers present, the
desired change was finally secured in
dollars, halves and quarters. Mr..
Brownlee then took his bearings.
He computed that in his wanderings
he had traversed distance of four
teen blocks and had consumed half
an hours time. AS a result of that
calculation he was in a bad humor
when he again entered the little
store.
"Here's the change" he said,
"and a confoundedly hard time /
had to get it too~
Mrs. Brownlee patted his hand
alphabetically.
"Oh," she said. '1'm so Sorryl l
shan't need it, after all. After you
