In these days when big business is
SO universally and severely criticised,
the thought occurs, did anybody ever
hear of dissatisfaction among the en-
ployees of the Standard Oil Com
pany? Did any faithful, competent
employe ever complain of not receiv-
ing kindly treatment and considera-
tion together with salary commen-
surate with the service rendered?
Does the merchant ever lose any
thing on accounts with employees OF
the Standard? Nothing of that kind

MEMS MEETING.

On Friday evening last a meeting
for men was held at the Presbyterian
church.
There were AZ guests who were SER
we'd with most delightful chicken
dinner prepared and served by the
ladies of the Dorcas society.
After dinner Rev. G. w. Lowry as
toastmaster in modest speech gave
the guests cordial welcome and ex-
pressed great pleasure because of the
many responses to Invitations. He
then introduced Rev. j. F. Shepherd
D. D., of the Third Presbyterian
church of Toledo who spoke of the
Reflex Influences of Missions. The
reverend gentleman's speech was
very instructive and of unusual inter.
est. ,s,a
Rev. DIR. Rogers of Bowling Green
was next introduced with no partic u
lar subject assigned but just talked.
DR.. Rogers had recently travelled
through that part of China which is
now the scene of the chinese revolu-
tion, and his talk was upon conditions
which lead to present discomfort and
uprising of the natives of that country.
He spoke of conditions in Turkey
and Persia and gave his hearers many
reasons for believing that American
Missionaries were doing great work
in those countries not only in relig-
lous teachings but in the general ed
ication of the natives who are being
iaught to make use of the great
wealth of natural resources of those
countries and to make them intelligent
and useful people.
| Z ID. Parsons, an attorney of Tole
DO, who is local missionary worker,
spoke in the manner characteristic of
his profession, prefacing his speech
With many witticisms which we're
greatly enjoyed and then, in more
serious vein, told of the great good
being accomplished by the contribu-
tions of Americans which had been
so advantageously used for spreading
Enlightenment among those who had
'een sitting in darkness for centuries.
No contributions were asked but the
work. was SO we'll explained that every
person who heard him was given a
better and broader idea of the work
of the foreign missionaries.
PROF. d. A. Haylor and E. l.. Blue
we're introduced and each endeavored
to contribute to the pleasure of the
evening.
1t was splendid meeting and ev.
'ry person present would be pleased
o attend another such meeting.

An exchange tells of a newspaper

all of them when boys had been

Lyceum Theatre
"ST. ELMO"

The announcement that Vaughan
Glaser's production of "St. Elmo" is
coming to the Lyceum theatre for
three days, starting with silver
souvenir matinee Thursday, Decem-
ber Z, will be welcome to the lovers
of that book. And when we state
that scarcely a man, woman or chilG
who can read the English language
has not read est. Elmo" it is evil
dent that the lovers of the book
must mount up into the millions.
The story of "St. Elmo" is so well
known that to go into details would
be useless. However, for the benefit
of anyone who may not have read the
book, we will state that the scenes
of the play are laid in the foothills
of historical Lookout Mountain, in
Tennessee. This statement alone,
will but exemplify the possibilities
for brilliant scenic display and each
and every such opportunity has been
taken advantage of and we can justly
claim "St. Elmo" to be one OF the
largest scenic productions of the
year. We carry every scene, every
drapery, every property and every
piece of furniture used, so that each
scene is clothed in its proper atmos-
phere when presented on the stage.
When Hanlons' "Fantasma" comes
to the Lyceum theatre for an en-
gagement of four days starting Sun
day matinee, December 3, theatre
goers will have an opportunity to
see several score of thn newest and
most wonderful of all the Hanlon
tricks and illusions. This new and
stupendously spectacular and bewild-
eringly beautiful production is said
to be the climax of the Hanlons'
work. The Hanlon Brothers name is
famous for tricks and illusions and
inasmuch as they have been in this
bushes for life time, some unusual
treats should be in store for theatre
goers.

ENTERED ENGLISH PORTS.

The wonderful feat of entering all
of England's principal ports on the
southeast coast unperceived, and even
entering the mouth of the Thames
and infesting the great commercial
highway that leads to London, has
been accomplished by the fleet of
German submarines which have just
concluded their trial trip in order to
give practical proof to the Kaiser and
war staff of the German navy of what
they would be able to do should war
between Germany and England break
out. Part of the voyage was perform,
ed in submerged condition, but no.

the North sea were the German sub
marines noticed by either English
ships or cruisers. s.~ ..

LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX.

According to ancient writer's, the
phoenix was a bird of great beauty
about the size of an eagle Only one
of these birds could live at a time,
but its existence covered a period of
500 or 600 years. When its life drew
to a close the bird built for itself Il
funeral pyre of wood and aromatic
spices, with it's wings famed the pyre
into a flame, and therein consumed
itself. From the ashes a worm was
produced out of which another phoe-
nix was formed, having all the vigor
of youth The first care of the new
phoenix was to solemnize it's parents
Obsequies, For that purpose it made
ball of myrrh, frankinscense, and
other fragrant things At Heliopolis,
a city in lower Egypt, there was a
magnificent temple dedicated to the
sun. To this temple the phoenix
would carry the fragrant ball and
burn it on the altar of the sun as a
sacrifice. The priests then examined
the register and found that exactly
500 years or exactly 900 years had
elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-30

the birds went there for mutual
warmth then came a rain, and the
water, trickling down the bank, thor
oughly soaked the birds, froze before
morning and thus held them prison
ers.
The thoughtful poultry man does
not let his hens go around the yard in
the winter, as was the old-time Gus
tom, but keeps them in warm sheds
with glass fronts. Hens dislike to have
their feet touch snow or ice. If they
do so the hens try to keep them warm
by lifting up first one and then the
other and holding it under the feath-
ers.
During the greater part of the day
hens, when left to run about the yard,
will go on piece of wood and seem
ingly go to roost. What they are try
ing to do is to keep their feet warm.
The better method is to house the
hens in a dry place where. they can
scratch clean straw and thus have ex-
ercise and at the same time keep their
feet from the snow or the ice.
The cat has a similar habit of get
ting on high fence or a board in
some sunny place and then turning
her paws inward so that no part re-
mains uncovered by fur and exposed
to the cold.
The dog that is apparently SILVER
ing with intense cold it not really
shivering, but is voluntarily flick
ing his body muscles and is thus aid
ing the circulation, much as the cir
culation in your hands is aided by
rubbing them together or by rapidly
opening and closing your fingers, or as
the circulation in your arms is hasten,
ed by whipping them around your
body.
The thick coat of wool Oh the sheep
is the best protective covering, not
only because it prevents the cold air
from touching the surface of the body,
but because the great amount of air
entangled within it keeps the heat of
the body from passing freely away,
while the mass of wool itself keeps
the external air from rapidly cooling
the imprisoned warm air, and thus
cooling the body, But when the win
ter is unusually severe even the sheep
show their desire for warmth by
crowding against shed or a baystacl1

POPE pIscERNs SHADOW.

ROME, December ct is an open
secret that Plus X is so impressed
with the prophecy that he would hold
the pontiicate not more than nine
years, or for another year only, that
it was by his wish that consistory
was held in this year of mourning for
the church on account of the celebra-
ton of Italian unity. He is convinced
that the 10 new cardinals will follow
his policy, especially in respect to the
codification of the canon law and the
war against modernism.
The sudden decision to create so
many cardinals, a majority of whom
are foreigners, and thus practically re-
form the sacred college, is believed to
have been due to the Pope's convic-
ton that their services would be need
ed soon for conclave to elect his sue
cessor.

to protect their faces and legs from
the searching wind that forces itself
through the wool and forces itself
through the wool and forces out the
warm air entangled there.
The gray squirrel is heavily furred
in cold weather, but he delights to
snuggle down in the nest within the
hollow tree amid the dry grass, dead
leaves and tree dust which he has
collected to make his warm and COW
quarters.
Warm air is a poor conductor of
heat. For this reason loose clothing
is warmer than tight. The warm air
between it and the skin prevents the
heat of the body from escaping RAPID
ly. Birds and other animals take adj
vantage of this law of nature. A spar
row in the crevice of a wall is NOT
only warming his feet against the
sunny stone, but he is pretty sure to
have his feathers so "1uffed" up that
he seems to be much bigger than nat
ural, because he is letting the air un-
der his feathers get warm to protect
his body.

HOW ANIMALS. KEEP WARM.

One day in the early part of the
winter I had my camera pointed at
the distant snow-covered woods, says
a writer in ST. Nicholas, when my at
tention was attracted by the sight of
two rabbits crouching together at the
foot of hollow tree. | had often seen
rabbits sitting in this position in a
cage and knew that it was a habit
among the members of the rabbit fam
lily to sit side by side for mutual
warmth sometimes heads together
and sometimes head to tail.
Every naturalist is familiar with the
fact that quail will cluster together
under an overhanging bank. A natur-
alist told me that he once found quail
in such a situation partly imbedded
in the ice and frozen. 1t appears that

PEASANT GIRL WINS s25o,ooo.

Since their death she has continued
at manual labor to keep body and soul

To an interviewer with whom she
discussed her stroke of luck she de-
clared the mere thought of possessing
so much money made her giddy. She
did not fully realize its meaning or
how she'd spend it, Her first thought
is to buy neat little cottage, keep
pigs and fowls. drink tea all day long
and gossip to her hearts desire with
her female neighbors. She said that
already she has been inundated with
offers o. marriage, petitions for help,

ACCUSED OF LEsE MAJESTY.

For compiling an account of the
cost of crowned monarchs to their
respective countries, a German jour
nalist, Harmand Schmid, is being in
dicted on a charge of lese majesty.
This Industrious statistician has pre-
pared the following figures:
The kaiser costs his country IL
cents per head of the population year
ly; the Car of Russia, 20 cents; the
King of Italy, 25 cents; the Emperor
of Austria, 80 cents; King of Belgium,
so cents. BY celebrating these figures
and drawing contrasts between their
exorbitance and the extreme cheap
ness of presidents of republics, Schmid
is held to have perpetrated the crime
of insulting the kaiser and will have
to stand trial for this offense.

have been immune. On the night of
the Sth, while crowd of several thou
sand persons were coming from the
big tabernacle at South Sixth and
streets, three men were held up
block from the tabernacle, almost in
the midst of the crowd. In his plea
for liberal contributions to the Gypsy
Smith fund the next night, Rev. T. w.
Lane of the First Methodist church adj
vised the crowd that it was "better to
be held up by bald-headed minister
inside the tabernacle than by a red
headed robber outside"
Monday night the red-haired fellow
held up Mrs. Louise Glenewinkel at
South Twenty-ffth and Yakima and
took from her $14.7O, She had just
cashed her husbands pay check at a
corner grocery and with the stolen
money went Baby Glenewinkel's hopes
for Christmas presents. Said Mrs.
Glenewinkel in telling of the robbery:
ITS the money he took that worries
me so. We need that so badly I
really believe he never would have
taken it had he but known. His face
was not hard and criminal-like The
only thing that looked at all like l
imagined it should in holdup was the
gun. If it wasn't for that l actually
believe l could have talked to him
motherly like and maybe got him to
let me keep at least half of the money.
We need it so much. It's so near
Christmas and l had planned so much
for my little Annie"
On December 2 the red-haired boy
went to the offices of the Pacific Dairy
Company, at 1902 Tacoma avenue, and
held up M. C. Parish and Miss Vera
Martin in the offices. December he
went to J. G, Bendricls' grocery store
at 1457 East Twenty-sixth street and
held up the place. On December 7 he
appeared at the Columbia beer hail,
1901 Pacific avenue, and after getting
glass of beer and paying for it, held

BRITISH OPINION WITH PERSIA

BRITISH OPINION WITH PERSIA
LONDON, December 9-Britons are
uneasy over the tension between Te-
heran and st. Petersburg and fear
that the Russian chauvinists are play
ing like children with fire. They talk
of Muscovite guilt. Persia's appeal to
the American people for such inter-
vention in her difficulties as is CON
sistent with her independence and
dignity will result in a great wave of
sympathy with the ideals of new
Persia" sweeping the United States,
prominent British radicals believe.
That Mr.. Shuster has been treated
shabbily they take for granted and
they resent the cavalier methods of
the London and st. Petersburg for
eign offices in dealing with him, but
their hopes concerning American
pressure in Persia's interest in the
forum of nations are largely the out
come Of their belief that the Anglo
Russian understanding as to the Mid
die East, at least as far as the land
of Cyrus is involved, is politically i'm
moral and aimed at the obliteration
of Persian life-"a plot detestable to
American spirit"
These radicals must be reckoned
with and they have as allies stead
lily Increasing number of cool-headed
lberals-men ranked as moderates-
who begin to admit that London di-
plomacy has erred in giving Russia
too much scope for exploiting her
barbarism in comparatively obscure
part of Asia" as a radical journal
puts it.
Nor is the suspicion such thinkers
entertain of Russia confined to their
camp. Not few conservatives are
heard applauding a recent declaration
by Lord Curzon, Ex-Governor General
of India, that it was exceedingly
doubtful whether European diplomacy
had been wise in its dealings with
Persia. Curzon is the severest critic
of the Anglo-Russian understanding.
Details as to the advance of the
Russian troops in Persia have been
Kept completely in the dark for sew
eral days.
How large force has been dis
patched by the Russian government
and particulars as to it's movement
are unknown in London, but the pub
lie generally feels that the end will
be the establishment of a Russian pro-
tectorate over the best parts of Per-
STA, including the two northern CAPT
tails, Tabriz and Teheran.

Clared bankrupt
After waiting a year without any
of their demands being satisfied the
thirteen principal creditors formed an
association for the purpose of safe
guarding their interests and regain
ing as much of their money as posi-
BILE. Thyssen regards this as per-
sonal affront and has sent his seconds
to them to demand that they shall
fight out the case with weapons. OPP
ponents to duelling in Germany who
are awaiting with interest a reply to
this strange challenge point out that
it would be adding injury to insult if
Thyssen, besides owing them such
large sums of money, should shoot
the men from whom he obtained it.
He is formidable antagonist, hav-
ing in many duels invariably killed or
wounded his opponents.
