Boy Scouts Did Well.
The Boy Scouts did excellent work.
They held the lines admirably, took up
tickets, settled minor rumpuses among
the scrambling children, obeyed the
orders of their patrol masters promptly
and never wilted during the two hours
of hard work asked of them. The boys
demonstrated the fact that the Boy
Scouts of Hawaii are made of the same
sterling stuff as their brother scouts of
the larger mainland and British cities;
boys to depend upon. Very soldierly
they looked as they marched upon the
grounds and took up their positions,
and just as square were their shoulders
when they marched away after receiv-
ing the thanks of the Malihini Tree
committee.

of thanking the University Club for q

BEAUTY, BEAST AND BATHos
Anna PavIowa, the Russian Danseuse,
Has Two Maids to Guard Her
Pet Alligator.

Fido whimpered a dismal farewell to
his mistress, Anna Pavlowa, the dan
suese who left on the Mauretania for
London, after concluding a successful
season in America, says the New York
Telegraph. He was forsaken, thrown
in the discard, replaced in the affec-
tions of his mistress by Goosh. Who
is Goosh? Goosh 10 the young alligator
which was presented to the dancer by
the mayor of New Orleans and has
been adopted as a mascot by PaVlowa,
who cast aside the dog which she
brought over here to act in that ca
pacity.
Nine Pavlowa is enthusiastic over
her new pet and has delegated two
maids to care for the reptile, which is
by no means gentle and shows great
.antipathy to anyone who approaches
within striking distance. The creature
is as gentle as a lamb, however when
Pavlowa is near. 1t is thirty inches
long and has a body so slender that
it resembles a snake
Before sailing Pavlowa made special
arrangements for the comfort of Goosh
on the boat. She procured a collapse
BILE rubber tub, such as is used for
a baby's bath, and this will be used
as swimming pool by the alligator.
The reptile will be looked after as
carefully as a child, and the danseuse
will see to it that i. wants for nothing
on the voyage.
The dancer believes that the a1liga-
tor brings her good luck and the last
thing she does before leaving the the
alter is to stroke it. At home the
reptile acts like a bodyguard, and will
not let anyone get near Pavlowa. 1t
snaps and Kisses at the approach of
stranger and only cools down when
the danseuse passes her fingers quick
ly time after time over it's forehead
between the eyes in a hypnotic caress.
Pavlowa has great faith in mascots.
When she agreed to come to this
country last year she had nineteen
dogs. Her manager had hard time
persuading her to leave the animals
at home, as she wanted to bring them
all over with her. She was finally
prevailed upon to bring only one, and
Fido acted as mascot until supplanted
by the alligator.
The danseuse will go direct to Lon
don on her arrival on the other side
to fill engagements, and will soon
start making arrangements for the
new dances which she hopes to have
ready when she comes back to this
country in October.

Suddenly a woman's voice, loud and

Then Ferdinand skunk off the field,

Reformlna State Prisons.

Within ten years the elimination of
every extraneous influence in the adj
ministratiOn of the state prison of
New York together with the introduc-
tion of scholastic and Industrial train
ing, has produced an almost complete
change in the interior routine. A we'll
fitting gray uniform has been substf-
tuted for the convict's former striped
suit, and the military step has re-
placed the 1ockstep. His hair is trim
med neatly with shears instead of be-
ing cut close to the scalp with clip
pers. Crockery has replaced the old
tin cups and pans in the prisons of
the state. An oculist and a dentist
look after the eyes and the teeth of
the prisoners An electric light in
each cell has replaced the old tai
low candles. Infraction of rules in the
New York prisons today merely con-
signs the convict to solitary confine-
ment until he reaches normal condi-
ton of mind and signifies his willing
ness to conform to discipline. The
paddle. the rack, the ducking stool,
and all other forms of corporal pun
ishment have been abolished in New
York's penal nstitutions.-Frank M.

Denver. Florence Sheedy, VINO saw
her sister Marie start on her honey
moon in mid-February, had love
secret of her own, declares a writer
in the Chicago fnter-Ocean-
She is to become the wife of Isaac
Townsend Burden, Jr. The formal
announcement Of the engagement is
already in the mails. There were
negative head shakes when society
first began to whisper, but the maid
and the man bided their time In the
meantime the young scion of fashion
in New York found the atmosphere of
Colorado very much to his liking.
Cupid's western headquarters had
been under the Sheedy roof for good
ness knows how long. And he has
been busy, very busy.
First young Bob" Livingston went
a wooing-young Bob" whose family
tree is as famous as the Charter Oak
in Hartford, and whose grandsires
lived in a manor house after the fash
ion of moneyed Knickerbockers. He
had the choice of easy chairs in the
Sheedy home, and Marie was at his
side. He had met her first in Europe,
and by a quick consultation of time
tables managed to shape his itinerary
SO that he could travel whittier she
went And somewhere along the
Mediterranean, where the skies were
blue, he proposed and she accepted
him. Later on, when good old Dennis
Sheedy slipped a deed for fine dwell
ing in New York and a most attractive
check into his daughters hand with a
fathers blessing, he wondered why
his other daughter seemed SO inter-
ested in the transaction Now he
knows.
Rivalry for Miss Sheedy.
Florence Sheedy had actually been
pestered with suitors ever since she
wore ribbons in her hair and her
frocks touched her shoe tops. She
grew up a most attractive girl, full of
breeze and life. Many a Denver cap
was set for her, but she danced them
all on the string of fancy and never
became serious until
Until Larry" Phipps came along
And the strange part of it is that she
didn't become serious with Phipps, but
with young Burden 1t was a choice
between a daring polo player and a
member of Harvard's crack golf team
She accepted the latter.

where he continued to dream of her.
1t was not SO long ago that they
both returned to Denver, she in the
full bloom of maidenhood and he a
youth of athletic build, with an allow
ance in keeping with his position in
the world. He renewed his suit with
ardor- He gave sumptuous house
parties at Wagon Wheel Gap. Papa
Phipps' mountain home, and had the
Sheedy girls as guests of honor. He
gave theater parties to Florence
Sheedy, and had her among his chosen
friends at dinners and on motor trips,
but he made no Roadway in his love
making.
Florence Sheedy's Engagement.
During the recent polo tournament
at the Denver Country club, in which
Phipps engaged with all the zeal of
a gallant in the lists of an old-time
tourney, whisper went around among
the fashionable set on the veranda
that Florence Sheedy had lost her
heart. She did not deny it. Phipps
heard it. New hope came to him.
Then the truth came out. She loved
another. 1t became necessary, ac-
cepting the ethics which Cupid long
ago established, for Florence Sheedy
to keep her romapce a secret for two
until such time as her elder sister had
taken step to the wedding march.
After the Livingston-Sheedy nuptials
the family intimates received the news
that another New York youth had
been successful in winning a member
of the household.
Still young Phipps has not lost all
hope
The Sheedy girls are not unknown
here. They had their social introduce
ton some time ago and with sponsors
whose word means much. Likewise
they have been presented abroad. In
Denver their social position has long
been recognized, albeit their father
counts other things of greater mo-
ment.

WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DID
WORDS OF PRAISE FOR THE KAN

Many Constructive and Progressive
Measures in Interest of Agricul-
ture and Education Enacted.

IBy President Waters, x. S. A. CT
The legislature which has just ad-
1ourned is to be praised for the
constructive and progressive legisla-
ton it enacted in the interest of agri-
culture and the rural schools and the
high schools
Kansas ranks second highest in lit
eracy Every school district in the
state will hereafter be required to
maintain a full seven months term OF

There are no fiber plantations in

will help support the school, and the
legislature made an appropriation of
100000 for this purpose. When one
realizes that the vast majority of the
school children of Kansas are attend
ing the rural school, the Importance
of this forward step cannot be over
estimated.
To Teach Elementary Agriculture.
The new teachers certificate law
requires all teachers of the graded
and rural schools of the state to pass
an examination in the elements of ag
riculture and thus be prepared to
teach this subject in their schools.
This is the first step toward the in
PRODUCTION of industrial and vocation
al subjects into the curriculum of ev-
cry public school in Kansas.
Agriculture in the High Schools.
An appropriation was made to sup
port the teaching of agriculture and
domestic science in the normal train
ing high schools. That is to say, the
high schools of the state seeking to
prepare teachers will now. be helped
by an appropriation of $4,000 to train
these teachers so they may give in
science. This is another move to-
ward the introduction of the indus
tries into the grades and rural
schools.
Another important and far-reaching
step in the improvement of the public
schools was the law providing for
the consolidation of rural schools
when a majority of those living in a
district express desire through their
votes to have such consolidation, and
making the transportation of pupils
mandatory in such districts when
they live beyond two miles from the
school.
Another law was enacted giving dis
trict boards as at present organized
authority to transport pupils living
two and a half miles or more from
school. This applies to all classes
of districts.
A law was enacted providing for
free tuition in high schools to all pu-
pills in counties having a population
of less than ten thousand and in
which such provision does not already
exist
Other important legislation was
enacted in the interest of the city
schools; making one date for the
annual school meeting throughout
the state: permitting two or more
counties to join together for the con-
duct of a normal institute; making
persons eligible for county superin-
tendents who do not live in the
county; authorizing the annexation of
territory for school purposes to all
of the larger cities; and authorizing
the establishment of township high
schools in rural communities.
Better Drainage Laws
Of much importance in portions of
the state is a carefully adjusted sys-
tenn of drainage laws adapted to Kan
sas conditions.
Road Laws Revised.
A thoroughly first-class road law
was enacted. The benefits to be de-
rived from the use of the drag were
recognized. and failure to drag the
roads is punishable by fine. The road
