CONE, Friends, and meet my Wife" called
- out Stcptoc gaily as he ushcrcd Spicy
through the gate.
Granny Pcntccost, dazcd, doubling her
senses, moved slowly forward. Then, with
q whimpcr Of JOY, she fastened her new
daughter in a rigid, prolonged embrace.
Next She kissed her son, So much broader IN
shoulder and loin than when last she saw
him, and gazcd scarchingy into his blue
eyes as II To- see whether any unclcan thing
in the Babylon below had spotted his soul.
"Stcppy, She murmurcd, 81 don't believe
you'd tell he now fer two dollars, like YOU
did when YOU tagged that train.
He flushed and laughed. 81 don't believe

MI tension was now released, and the
women, laughing, crying, screaming kissing,

DOWHATAN leaned back in his rustic

Pap said Stcptoe. Postprandial oratory
was unknown on Big Rainy; but he had al

unconsciously rose 10 his feet. "Spicv and |

Something
Will Drop

AS a result of the investigations
which the federal grand jury has been
conducting for the past week, num-
Der of arrests are expected to be made
within few days, as the net is said
to be closing in on several parties, al
most beyond possibility of escape. A
large number of Chinese witnesses
were before the grand jury this morn
ing, and it is understood that a rigid
inquiry has brought out some very in
teresting facts as to the methods OF
the hui which has been engaged in the
Illicit importation of the dope. A sys-
TEN by which unstamped opium is
transferred to stamped tins, whicn
had been emptied of their contents, is
a part of the details brought out.

MANY TEACHERS
APPLY FOR JOBS

Superintendent Pope is constantly
receiving applications from persons
who desire to obtain positions in the
schools of Hawaii The applications
come from all parts of the United
States, and from all kinds Of persons.
One application that was received
this morning was from man who
inquired as to the qualifications re-
quired to obtain employment in Ha-
waii, but he, unfortunately for him
self, forgot to sign his name to the
application.
Many people obtain positions in
the schools here by writing about
possible appointments" said Superin-
tendent Pope this morning, Still,
most of the teachers are appointed
through some of their friends men,
tioning to me that they knew the ap-
plicants some time ago on the main
land, Inquiries then follow and in
this way we have obtained some fine
teachers"
The Girls Industrial School site
has not yet been settled upon. but

The three points already swept, 90
gether with the other two mentioned
as nearing completion, represent a
little more than one-fifth of the entire
job. The total area covered by these
five sections is about eighteen and a
half acres.
At the close of the month Of Sep
tember the dredging of the channel
at Pearl Harbor was S71a per cent
completed.
1t is stated at the naval station that
some work has yet to be done on the
naval slip in order to make it a fin
lshed Job. The sweeping done the
other day has disclosed some high
spots and a number of loose boulders
which must be removed. The con
tractors are now endeavoring to break
up these boulders by dropping heavy
beams upon them. So far this method
has been without success.
Yesterday the tug Navajo took the
sweeping machinery down to Pearl
Harbor. 1t returned before noon.

LETTERS TO THE EDIT0s
Cannon Should Shut W and Stay

Dear Bulletin: with al due defer
ence, yours truly quotes the Following
from the editorial column OF his old
favorite, The Bulletin. of Friday The
Bulletin is good through and through,
and more to come. 1t can be tied 70
without reservation.
Congressman Cannon was in order
when he told the democratic majority
that 1t was not necessary for It to use
the minority any mea1ier than the re-
publieans did.
But Uncle Joseph although his guyll
still II ows a foot deep has been toned
down to the level OF the ordinary pro-
auction, and. that is only what might
have been expected. The writer-a
lifelong republican--fs free TO say that
were it not for 1gS- system OF rules
that gave the speaker ouch autocratic
power, Cannon would not be SO OBJ
jectionable. OF course, Cannon de-
p1ores the result He should deplore
1t in sackclofh and ashes he should
deplore 1T in meekness and self -abne-
cation; he should deplore it with the
same kind OF howl that he now
beic11es forth. He made 1t more pleas
urabIe than otherwise that the country
reversed itself If he had done the
fair thing. t1e house Of representa-
tives would n.tw have i republican ma
jority. For one OF his age, he still pre-
serves his contour, but he is confront
ed with a most narrowing alternative
at the present time. 10 keep his
mouth in conformity he should keep il
shut.

awful, and it is fortunate that we
called him in time; but had he just
said. "you have brealling-out and
must give you something to clean you
up" the most of us would have
thought that we had better taken a
little sulphur and molasses and pulled
out of it ourselves. If We do not like
to be humbugged We do like to be
mystified; and some OF the. preachers
in expressing themselves seem to fully
realize this fact, and Recognize the
real worth of 1t to them when parish
toner's size them up. This is q won
derful world we live in; and the peo-
pie make it more so.
Happiness depends more upon the
mind than upon conditions. Some
people who are pitfed because of their
poverty have gfadder hearts than
those who pity them. Who is happy,
anyway? Have you given the sub
fact that the happiest class Of peo-
pie are those who go to work when
the bell rings just as the children go
to school Those most discontinued
are the folks who work when they
please, and the most miserable are
those who are able to spend their time
in id1eness. The poor have a way of
thinking they are miserable ssand the
rich happy, when the fact has been es-
,tablished that there is no way to tell
VIII ether there is most happiness in
the palace or the howell! 1t is diff
cult to see that the man who hoes his
row is happier than flle man who runs a
steam yacht unless he cultivates envy,
and then he is miserable enough.
Keep your mind right. and your heart
will be glad and your hand warm.
