His Boat i'm Peril.
Kleinlein's boat is in peril and the
flag of distress may be seen to go up
almost any day. At Kilbourn after
the big million dollar dam was built
the river lost much of its water
below the obstruction. When the
water is shut off the river below the
dam is practically dry. When this
state of affairs comes to pass at Prairie
du Sac, Kleinlein's houseboat is liable
to rest on solid foundation at an
angle of about 45 degrees. This will
probably not disturb the veteran for

The former soldier knows all the
good fishing grounds In the Wiscon-
sin at Prairie du Sac for he is de-
voted fisherman. Occasionally he
finds pearl inside the she'll of an u l.
fortunate clam and in winter be sets a
trap for the unwary game. His habi-
tation is tied up by the Milwaukee
depot and there he may be found in
hot weather and cold, in sunshine
and rain, by day and by night. Every
little while his ship comes in, for
Uncle Sam does not forget his faithful
warriors of half century ago.

In the first place let me explain that
each day at noon when we are in the
open sea, the captain of the ship posts
notice of the latitude and longitude
and the number of miles run during
the past "A hours. On Wednesday,
Feb. L, it read:

On February we reached Honolu
lu. Frances and L walked to the
cathedral where we met the bishop
and he took us to lunch and for an
automobile ride. We visited the
aquarium where we saw many beauti-
full fish. We visited several churches,
schools, homes of natives and the nice
drives. 1t was beautiful day and we
were so warm we thought it was uly.
After we left Honolulu we did not
see land for eleven days.
In the evening the Chinese servants
aboard the boat gave a Chinese play

A Day Lost.

At this point will have to explain
that when the ship crosses the $50 de-
gree meridian the captain of the ship
pronounces a certain day dropped
from the calendar. This meridian is
the international date line. Thus we
retired on Monday evening and when
we arose it was Wednesday morning.
After we crossed the line our longi-

Protection as it Is.

Thomas F. Parker, of Appleton
City, Mo. Rt. 5, is in possession of a
very interesting document in the
shape of customs house receipt
which every voter and every house
wife, who is not thoroughly informed
as to the many BLESSINGS of the pro-
tective tariff, would learn much by
examining.
Last Christmas, Mr.. Parker receiv-
ed package from his parents, who
live in Ireland, containing a couple of
pairs of wool stockings, piece of
cloth, and weighing one and one
quarter pounds. The full valuation
of the package was $l.5O. Mr.. Par
was forced to pay duty on this pack
age in the sum of $l.45, an amount
within five cents of the full valuation
thereof. Mr.. Parker, who was in
in town the first of the week inform
ed us that his brother had met with
similar experience, having been fore
ed to pay duty of 81. 48 upon a pack
age valued at $3.50.
Mr.. Parker confeSses that he is en-
tirely unable to discover any benefits
which the protective tariff afford the
farmer of the common people, and
we would respectfully advise against
any believer in protection" attempt
ing to convert him.

point of excellence of talent. The
opening number will be by the Homo
lulu students, six in number, and as
the name implies, are natives of the
Islands of the Hawaiian group. They
were educated in the public schools
and colleges located in Honolulu.
Born in the land of tropical flowers,
surrounded by the grandeur of the
sea and mountains, do you wonder
that these people have love for the
beautiful, both in art and music?
Many of their schools make a special
ty Of music and drawing. The com
pany was organized six years ago, its
members being selected from the
best vocal and instrumental artists of
the Islands. Two years ago the COM
pany was brought to America and ap-
peared with great success in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston and
have since met with great success on
the Lyceum and Chautauqua platform.
The company will introduce vocal
sextets, quintets, quartets, duets and
solos. They have the following in
strumentation: Guitars, violins, flute
and the native instruments, "Ukulele"
and "Taropatch." Each member of
the company is a finished artist and
everyone should make arrangements
to hear them.
The second session on Saturday
evening, August 5th, will be opened
by a short prelude by the Honolulu
students, after which Capt. Richard
Hobson, the hero of Santiago harbor,
will deliver one of his famous lec-
lures. The event of Capt. Hobson

harbor is so we'll known to the gen.
eral public that it needs no extended
notice at the hands of the Butler

of the bravest deeds ever recorded and

great on the lecture platform as he
was when fighting Uncle Sans bat
les upon the seas. If you miss this
humber you will always regret it.
