LEARNING FROM THE BOY.

In South Carolina there was a lad
who was aroused to a pitch of UNI
quenchable ambition by reading of
the success of the boys in the state
who had won prizes and distinction
in the corn contests. He was unwilI-
ing to admit that he could be beat
OUT by any boy when it came to rails
ing corn, for he had the farm spirit
strong within him. His father evil
IDENTIFY considered the contest as
something of a joke, at least so far
as the winning chances of his own
boy were concerned. Finally, in
sheer self-defense against the boys
persistent appeals, he told him that
he might have the use of an acre of
stump land on the strict understand
ing that the stamping or after-work
should not involve the outlay of so
much as a quarter of a dollar. Day
after day the boy toiled at the heavy
task of stump-digging. When at last
he had cleared all, or nearly all the
stumps from the measured acre, the
father incidentally remarked that he
would simply have to have that
cleared acre of ground, and if the boy
was still determined to try a contest
acre he would have to clear the
stumps from another piece for that
purpose.
Even this cruel stroke of injustice
did not dishearten the lad. He took
the spade and pickax and tackled the
stumps on another acre.
Although the boys legs, often
tagged in the course of the toll which
he put into his contest acre, his spirit
never did His work OF cultivation
was as persistent as his appeals 70
his father had been at the outset.
The week of October LIST his corn crop
was officially measured and attested,
The yield was eighty-four bushels,
while his fathers corn, which adj
joined the contest acre on three sides,
made a yield of only nine bushels.
Here was proof against which even
the fathers stubbornness could not
hold out. He is now telling his neigh
bors
81 wish I'd only known twenty
years ago what that boy has proved to
me about raising corn; today / would
not be about as poor and as naked
as a toad!"-Forrest Crissey in Sue

LECTURE ON HAWAII.

Los Angeles Examiner: About 800
people attended the lecture of Mrs
Frances King Headlee on Hawaii
last night at the regular meeting OF
the original New York State Society
held in Garfield Hall, Walker TheateT
building.
The lecture was illustrated with
many stereopticon views, and through
out the entire lecture much interest
was manifested by the audience. AL
though her lecture dwelt largely on
Honolulu and the famous volcanoes
she told stories of the principal points
OF interest of all the islands.
In her lecture she took her audience
through the beautiful drives, past his.
torical grounds and through the coun.
try surrounding Honolulu. She told
and illustrated with colored slides the
story of the progress of the Hawaiian
Islands since they were first taken
under the American flag.
Preceding the lecture, a short must
cal program, consisting of a duet by
Mrs. Mckee and Miss Hastings, was
rendered,

A HONOLULU
MAN INVESTS

Sacramento News: A. G. Spaulding,
of Honolulu, who by the way is no re.
lation to A. G. spaulding, of San Diego,
owns 10000 acres Of land in Glenn and
Colusa Counties, which he proposes to
reclaim. Spaulding has set aside $780,
600 for no other purpose than to make
his big holding marketable.
The holding that stands in spauld-
iing's name is what is known as goose"
land 1t has teen called that 5y,1IIe
it overflows in Winter and is a great
feeding ground for geese. It has never
been brought under cultivation. Part
of the land contains alkali spot. and
these are to be removed by scientific
process. Seventeen wells have been
sunk upon the place and from these a
good flow of water is obtained. Pumps
are to be put to work and the ground
will be washed until the alkali is re-
moved.
The land lies between Williams and
Norman. 1t is not for sale, and will
not be put upon the market until it is
ready for cultivation. 1t is situated in
a district that is rapidly settled up by
Eastern homeseekers.
Spaulding has held the land for
number of years. He recently heard
OF the rapid strides of progress the
Sacramento is naking, and dec. led to
improve his land so as to make it
marketable at once. He is a wealthy
man and has the capital with which to
undertake the task.

Being Born q Girl.
From Harper's Magazine.


Take it by and large, is it a misfortune
to be born girl and not a boy? That
may happen to any of us any time We
happen to be born. It's toss-up. 1t s
not the slightest credit to us to be born
male, and certainly it should not be the
slightest discredit to us to be born female:
but according as we are born male or
female we are born to different duties.
If political government is one of the male
duties. civilization will not get ahead by
having men loosen their hold on 1t. For
my part I suppose that down In the IN
tricacies Of my composition l have an
instructive conviction, or bunch, that po-
litical government Is a male attribute, and
that out of that comes my objection to
abdicate, or even dilute my share of It.
Instructive convictions have great weight
in these matters, though the surface ar
guments they put out may be inadequate
or mistaken, as the anti-suffrage argu-
ments are so apt to be- The sunraglst
expounders demolish them, and think that
they have accomplished something; but,
alas! the demolition Of puerile arguments
leaves the question just where 1T was,
with the pith of 1t still untouched. Still
/ think the agitation does good, bothering
people like me and making US think; ask
ing us, What does belong to women, then.
IL not votes? How else are you going to
give them equal life? What does justice
demand for them If not the suffrage?
If the males since the beginning of time
have overestimated their Importance and
erred In regarding themselves as special
lists in government, then II is only mat
ter of time when We shall be disabused
Of that error and shaken down into our
rightful places. But If government
meaning political government rather than
domestic-really prospers better in the
long run in the hands Of males, in their
hands it Is likely to stay-that substance
of 1t certainly. however that shadow we
call vote may fiutter OF, and wherever
IL may alight.

SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR
PROPOSES TO ABD|CATE
Owing to State of Health He
Plans to Hand Reins of Gov

Special cablcgram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 1.-The Sultan Of
Zanzibar proposes to abdicate in favor
of his son.
Owing to the state Of his. health his
highness is obliged almost every year to
take a cure in France or Germany, and to
leave Zanzibar under the regency of his
uncle. Seyyid Khalid. In order to avoid
any inconvenience to which the protec-
torate may be put by these repeated and
enforced absences Sultan Ali Bin Hamud
desires to be relieved of his responsible
ties.
Zanzibar has been a British protectorate
since 1890. In 1896 Seyyid Hamed bin
Thwain died suddenly, and Seyyid Khalid,
a member of the reigning family, who is
not the same person as the present regent,
sized the palace and proclaimed himself
sultan. His pretensions were not recog-
nized, and British warshipS under Ad-
miral Rawson bombarded the palace. The
pretender took refuge in the German
consulate, and was deported to German
East Africa. Hamud bin Mahamad bin
Said, father of the present sultan, was
placed in authority under the protection
OF the British government.
But for his race, Sultan Ali bin Hamud
might pass for an Englshman. for he has
acquired the speech and the habits Of the
country in which he received his educa-
ton. He has come to London once more
to negotiate the terms of his resignation
His highness, after finishing his cure on
the continent, will probably reside in
Egypt, where he will be Joined by the
members of his family.

Cats Long Walk to Old Home.

From the London Chronicle.
The story of a notssbi. tourney of a cat
from Kingston, s .rres =, it's former
home at Glastonbury, IL ae.rersetshire, a
distance Of about 1913 'Inlns. is now told
by an astonished CORES, ondent.
In April last q cat, mottled gray and
described as half Persian in breed, was
sent from Glastonbury. where 1t had
been reared, to the matron of the Kings
ton Nursing Home 1t was sent in a
packing case drilled with air holes and
obviously the animal had no opportunity
of marking the points Of it's journey.
Soon after arrival at Kingston the cat
was lost and despite the most diligent
searching. no trace of it could be found.
The matron OF the nursing home has
now received letter from Glastonbury
stating that the cat has found its way
back to its old home. It arrived emac-
lated and footsore and apparently had
walked the whole of the 1873 miles.
The letter describes the cat on its ar
rival as "a mere shadow of its former
SELF and expresses the belief that al
