Hereditary Habit.

Even If there had not been kernels
of rice on her hat and a glad light of
love in her eye any bachelor could
have told that she was bride. And
the manner in which she spoke to her
husband showed they had not been
married long. A man in the passing
crowd spied the couple and rushed
over to greet the bride.
"Well, well, Agnes" he cried, ex-
tending his hand, you don't mean to
say that you're marriedY

ed, vivid color mounting to her cheeks

Condor individuality.

We had the best chance of studying
the colors Of the condor head. The bill
was horn color, and the red skin of the
head extended down, covering 1t about
halfway. The legs were tan, but on
each knee was patch of red. On the
breast of each bird the skin was blood
red and could be seen occasionally
when the breast feathers were spread
and the birds were preening. Both had
light colored wing bars, and the pri-
maries were we'll worn. The skin on
the throat hung loose, and the lower
mandible fitted close under the upper.
The chin was orange red, and below
this on the neck was strip of green
ish yellow merging into the orange
about the sides and back Of the neck.
The top and front of the head were
red, but between the eyes was a small
patch of black feathers, and these ex-
tended down In front of the eye into
the orange red of the cheek. The pupil
of the eye was black, but the iris was
deep and red and conspicuous. The
bald and wrinkled pate, the fiabby
jowls, with the cave-in expression of
toothless old woman-these helped to
make up the condor Individuality

Chesnuts Out of the Fire.

Attorney General Hemenway has re
fused to detail one of his deputies to
90 to Hawaii and appear as prosecuting
officer at the term of the circuit court
at Kailua Supervisor Shipman, in
compliance with a wireless message re
ceived by him from Hawaii, requested
the attorney general yesterday to help
the county out TO that extent, but the
attorney general side stepped grace
fully
The Legislature he said, had reduced
his office force on the ground that
criminal matters were to be handled
by the county attorneys, and he could
not see why he should send one of his
deputies to do the work that should be
done by the county attorney of Hawaii.
The trouble, of course, is that. Coun-
~ Attorney Williams is very sick-not
expected to live. in fact-and the Ha-
wall supervisors have refused to pay
the salary Of Deputy County Attorney
Carl Smith. There is, therefore, no
one to represent the county at the
coming term of the circuit court.
But Mr.. Hemenway is unable to see
why he should pull other people S chest
nuts out of the fire.
