It is quite fad these warm days for
ladies and children to spend many
hours each week at the Outrigger club
where, after a swim or surf riding con-
test tea is served under the hau trees,
now neatly trimmed and supported on
pergolas. This club, through the eff
forts of Mr.. Ford, has been greatly inn
proved of late and has become a
tempting spot for many of our society
maids and matrons during the late aft
ernoon where a dozen or more graceful
suffers standing on their boards ride
beautifully in on the combers. Two
experts of this difficult sport are little
Roy Graham and Gordon Wakefield, so
greatly resembling each other that
they have been named the twins"
These little fellows are very clever,
and lead all the grown-ups in their
aquatic maneuvers.
One of the prettiest and most novel
things ever seen in Honolulu, and
which is causing a great deal of fiat
tering curiosity, is the magnificent 20

a BRAVE JOPLIN GIRL DR0WNS
Resoues Two Children From River But Was Too Weak to

Joplin, Mo. Aug. 28.-After rescu. ng her 10-year-old sister and another child from whirlpool into which they had been drawn, Miss Cleora Dion, 1e years old, was drowned in Spring liver, beneath an electric railway bridge ten miles north of here. Her screams fer help as she fought against the current were heard bp passengers Aboard a trolley car crossing the bridge, and E. F. Cameron. a Joplin attorney, dived from the structure in a futile effort ta save her
 The girl was a member of picnic party consisting of several families spending the day on the river banks. A good swimmer, she had been teach ing the younger children to swim. When she became tired. she left them wading in the shallow water and went to the bank. Suddenly the two little girls were caught by the current and swept into the eddy.

SANDS OF THE SEA USEFUL
Of Great Importancs in GlassmakIne and Warfare-Movlng Character
 ot Culcksands Explained.

The sands of the sea are singulariy useful They are of primary impor' tance In glassmaking. They have an Important place in warfare, as bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rife shots. The cleo trical properties of sand show that 1t has positive electricity. although a rod of sYfica, tho chief constituent of sand ia negative.
 The singular drying effect which co CUTS when a stretch of wet sand is pressed by the foot is due entirely to an alteration in the piling of the sand grains. Normally the grains are close together, but abnormal piling is brought about by pressure of the foot the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away. If the pressure of the foot is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever. tho partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In Quicksands the moving character is thought to be due to tho imprison ment between the grains of gases from organic matter.

The Spelling Question.

There is prevalent conviction, whether justified by the facts or not, that the school children of today are not 80 thoroughly trained in spelling as were the pupils of a generation or two ago. A school superintendent of county in Pennsylvania has planned for a series of spelling bees to be held throughout the county, and has prepared book of 800 practical everyday words Prizes will be award ed to the winners in the contests. English spelling is arbitrary and difIl- cult It is too bad that so much ef- fort and time should be necessary to teach child merely to spell the words of his native tongue, and there Is good deal to be said for simplified spelling. But that reform is inevitably sure to be long in coming, and, in the meantime. there is nothing that gives one more disagreeable sensation of disappointment than to find misspelled words in an otherwise weli-written letter. It implies ignorance and it Is difficult to believe that the writer of a misspelled letter is better equipped in other departments of knowledge.

against itself cannot stand

C against itself cannot stand Slavery and the constitution car- not both stand in America" TexaS and Arkansas both left the great American Union and both shared in the forlorn destiny which awaited secession and the unfortunate Con- federacy. Their men fought side by side on a hundred battlefelds. Their dead died together and the living stacked their arms together and came back to their ruined homes.
 Arkansas and Texas jointly have bits of interesting history. Of late this scribe has been asked by promi- nent persons in Texas to prepare and put in permanent form some leading facts of Texas history. Our connec- ton with the State Historical Socie- ties of Texas and Louisiana has helped us get at these bits of history. Some of this history should not be allowed to vanish like a vapor or drift into the dreary dreamland of the forgotten.
 On Texas soil was fought the last battle of the great Civil war. This was May 13, 1865. and Arkansas figured on that field.
 The last batch of ragged, weather beaten Confederate soldiers to sur render in that war was led from the soil of Texas on June 2, 1865, and gave up their arms at Shreveport. La., June 9, two days after. There were two regiments of Arkansas troops, the 27th and 3Sth Infantry. The officer ii iii command of the bare bagatelle of the great Confederate army still survives. His name is General Robert Glenn Shaver, a quiet citizen of Mena, and very much alive up to date.
 Arkansas and Texas are more or less joined in destiny. The oncom- ing and incoming Panama canal will put Texas on the worlds highway and make her shoreway the ship ping port of the big, wide North west. Both by affinity and consan- guinity Arkansas will share in al this. Arkansas will not only furnish the mountain homes, the health and pleasure resorts for the millions, but her mammoth womb is big with precious mineral, and her quarries and stone will make the rock-built cities that girdle the shore and cir cle the perimeter of the deep blue Mexican sea. United we stand di- vided we fall, and so mote it be.

SlOO SAFE--HIS LETTER
waidron. Ark, Oct. g. 1909.

Waldron, Ark, Oct 9. 1909. Russellyile, Ark:
 My Dear Slr-For several weeks l have been intending to write you in regard to your Baby Balm.
 IT you remember, when you were here this summer l told you our baby was sick. He was then having his third attack Of bowel trouble this summer. They were very se- we're. The first two were exceedingly alarm Ing and 1 suggested to my wife that we try your remedy, but she was prejudiced against patent medicine, so was I, but knowing you, gave me confidence to some extent, pardon the modified ciausel
 In the last case, however, my wife agreed to try your Baby Balm. Iwent to my doctor and told him that l wanted to try it. Ho said he did not know what 1t contained, but to give 1t trial. We did, and 1t worked like charm. Now my wife will not be without 1t: and the baby has not had bad case with his bowels since we began using It.
 You know how parents are about the baby. We watch him and If any trouble is indicated Brooks Baby Bowel Balm is put Into service promptly and 1t has not failed to keep him straight so far.
 1I have been at the drug stores here on diff erent occasions when parties came in for baby medicine and l just can't tand don't tryl to keep from ''buttin in" and telling them to get your Baby Balm. Just night before last a man came Into drug store here to get baby medicine. My wife says "tei him to get Baby Balm" but he had al- ready learned It's worth and that was what he was after.
 You yourself know that I have always found objection to the publishing of patent medicine advertising fin my paper and I never ithought that l would be person to write recommendation for a patent medi cine, bat l could hardly resist in this case, since feeling the great benefits received from. your Baby Balm.
 Very respectfully yours,
 W. E. Baker.

Arkansas and Texas.


 Arkansas and Texas are very much joined together. They are joined in territory and thin, ragged edges lap up on each other for some distance. For quite distance down that way you zigzag in and out of either state. Along down that way, not long ago we asked a little boy if he didn't want to go to Texas. No; can go any time," said the little Arkansaw- yer, Howl" we asked just cross the railroad and I'll be there in a minute." said he.
 Arkansas and Texas are very much joined in history to. Should one start to write the history of Texas he would have to look up the records on Arkansas. Very many of the early pioneers of Texas hailed from this state. Some of her best states men, ministers, lawyers, educators and farmers were once water bound over here in the bear state. Then to, it's matter of history that Ar kansas has furnished Texas with an- other class not so noted for virtue or valuable for morals. Oyer there they tell of an Irish lad that came there in a rush and he declared that "the people of Arkansas must have set great store by him. for they followed him to the state line, in- toirly."
 Arkansas and Texas have similar history again. Arkansas because a state in 1S36 Hickory Jackson was president. That same year Texas lifted afoat her Lone Star flag and began her struggle for independence. The same year this state became a commonwealth, Texas became a re- public. The same year Old Hickory signed a bill recognizing Texas as a separate republic and gave her min isters and envoys audience at the high court of our National Capitol.
 Arkansas gave the Texas patriots splendid help in their struggle for liberty. In 1836-37 Sam Houston was just 45 years old, when he took command of the Texas army. In just AS days he fought the famous battle of San Jacinto, routed the Mexican army and put Gen. Santa Anna behind the bars. Among those who freed Texas on that bloody field we find some splendid men from Ar kansas. James Bowie, choice name in that state, left the hills of Arkan- sas and died for Texas. Santa Anna butchered him in the Alamo, but Texas keeps his dust sacred.
 Arkansas and Texas join history again. When Abraham Lincoln stood up and said: A house divid-
