The Best Liver
Medicine

A Dormant Liver produces many dis
eases by locking up in the system inert
matter which should be expelled. This
accumulation is re-absorbed into the
system producing chronic liver troubles,
iaundice, and Inflammation of the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t also frequently
causes kidney and bladder diseases.
The best Liver Medicine is Granger's
Liver Regulator. Use it and you will
feel like q new man. Druggists sell it
IN tin boxes for 25 cts per box. For

hold, he was about to condescend to
allow a once-queen to take his highly
magnetic starboard flipper, the one he
takes the money in. But, oh, breth
rem, what difference when, as sud
denly and as smoothly as a swallow
shifts her night, the Queen raised her
eyes and met his, when he was yet
some feet away. Almost was it said
that he was "decomposed," though OF
course the word that was meant to be
used was embarrassed" His eagle
optics shifted, while the apparent mas
culinity of his mouth fell to a witch

as the sure symptom of an approach
ing weep. 1t was with an effort that
he finally drew near and bent over
the lady's proffered hand. If there
wasn't a frog in his throat when the
flabby cushions of his fingers met the
sincerity of her touch, I'll forswear al
legiance to truth and knuckle at the
shrine of mysticized mush. Simple
enough, you know. The Queen re-
cognized a challenge and, amused at
the artifice of the man, gave him back
a healthy jolt of real Hawaiian ka-
huna for his amateur occult impu-
dence.
The Mayors luau was a real success,
in spite of the fact that many who
were not invited found some way OF
gaining admittance. Fortunately
enough had been provided, and more,
to care for all who were there. Per-
haps the most interesting feature to
the strangers was the hula dance
There were some who condemned the
dance, but they were the ones who
generally forget etiquette and tread
on other peoples corns to get in the
front row for glimpse, when the
girls begin to wiggle. The only
honest way to condemn hula dance
is to stay away from it, not to go
where is is very well known there is
to be such a dance.

The Queens reception was immense.
More than that, it was nice courtesy
on her part Liliuokalani did not
have to invite the Congressman 10
call upon her. She need not have
held any reception at all, unless II
pleased her gracIousness. 10 be sure
the visiting Congressman would have
been much disappointed to have left
Hawaii without meeting the lady who
once ruled these islands, but it must
be realized that only the best of feeI-
ing on her part toward the mighty
nation of which Hawaii is now part
led her to make her birthday function
such as would be a general public al
fair. 1t would seem that there is
some sentiment well worthy of the
most elevated consideration when one
of her former power gracefully does as
he did, extending a welcome to the
distinguished representatives of the
country through whose moral influence
she did, extending welcome to the
ing small about Liliuokalani. The
other day she even retained a lawyer
as her attorney who in the old days
was her enemy.
Speaking of Liliuokalani, it may moi
be generally known that she is al
occultist. She is. Not a so-calleC
occultist who charges a fee for feeling
bumps, or who accepts money To-
teaching" If you had seen DR.. Bel

that it would be something like Salome

Pleasure and Sacrifice.

An alert little five-year-old was visit
ing a city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through In the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all and. as her mother urged
her. broke forth in tears.
This sudden fear was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand 1t until
she noticed the boatman's call.
He was crying: "Come along! Come
along! Ride clear round the pond.
