A Fish Out of Water
By BERTHA oRvILLE
Copyright. 1909, BY Associated Literary PreSs.)

Ned Morgan was In q quandary. His
sister Edith and his best friend, Tom
Winters, had been in that delightful
stage Of courtship that precedes an
engagement when suddenly the stu
nation changed and Toms visits
ceased. The big brother had at first
concluded that 1t was a lovers guar
rel and would, in time, right itself.
But Edith's demeanor soon changed
that theory She seemed to be as
happy and as intensely interested in
her thoughts as she was when first
she met Tom.
On the other hand, Tom was in a
state Of deep dependency. One day
he suddenly announced his intention
of g Ding west

The Cure for Sorrow.

The cure for sorrow is not of an

Tom shook his head despondently.
"There is another man."

At this intelligence Tom frightened
a little and went away with the spark
of hope famed to life again.
Ned grew watchful Of his sister.
From the fact of her having no eve

the other man must be employed at
night and able only to pursue his WOO
Ing by day. It was quite by accident
that he gained knowledge Of the af-
fair. He was taking turn in his
car in the country one morning, and
passed small lake resort. Feeling
thirsty he ran the car into the
grounds up to the pavilion. To his
surprise he saw his sisters runabout
In the driveway.

landlord.

That the steel car is of great value
as a protection to passengers In the
event of collision was demonstrated
in a recent clash of two trains in
the Hudson tunnel, New York city.
There was no such telescoping as
would probably have occurred with
wooden cars, and the injuries were
merely such as resulted from the pas
sengers being thrown down by the
shock Of the collision.

Secretary Wood Thinks $4,000
Needed for the Panama
Exposition.

Fifty thousand dollars is the sum
which Secretary II. P. Wood of the
promotion committe has recommended
that the Territory, through its legis-
lature should appropriate to prepare
and maintain proper exhibit for the
Hawaiian Islands at the Panama Canal
exposition to be held in 1915.
Mr.. Wood s recommendation came in
a letter written in San Francisco and
addressed to the committee urging that
measures be taken now to interest the
public in the question, as he believed
this would be an opportunity for Ha-
wall to become interested, believing the
returns would be many fold.
He stated that there was a diversity
of opinion yet as to where the exposi-
tion would be held, although San Fran
cisco had already announced it would
be held in that city. However, New
Orleans, Washington, D. c., and Los
Angeles appeared to be in the field.
The committee will await a decision
as to where the exposition is to be
held before taking any decisive ac
ton on the subject, although individ
ually they are generally in favor OF
the project. Mr.. Wood has suggested
also, that 100000 would not be toe
much to appropriate for such an ex
