"Yes. It's a way have. It's just a
habit"
Quit it. Don't have people remem-
ber you as the boy that chews his
lip"

come to and find myself doing It,"
do you know, son, the art Of being
agreeable depends for the most part
on the things we do unconsciously?
Mamie sucks her thumb"
Mamie Is only three years old. I
have known people 40 years old who
had bad habits equally displeasing."
II didn't know grown up people had
bad habits"
THAT remark speaks well for your
Christian character, but not so well
for your powers Of observation. Do
you know MIR. Baker, the president Of
Kicapo college?"
"Oh, yes; he was here the other
day."
He twiddled his thumbs."
The boy laughed. $50 he does. He
hunkers down in his chair, links his
fingers over his front, and whirls his
thumbs around. 1t reminds me Of a
squirrel in a cage"
"You have it. Now. think over other
people you know and tell me their lit
tie marks. Not to be fault-finding,
but just to show yourself how little
fault will spoil your image In peoples
memory"

Whenever he is reading or sitting still
in school, or anywhere, he Is pulling
at his eyebrow, as II he were trying
to pull out the hairs"
And Fred?"

why, he keeps showing his upper
teeth. What does he do that for
grandfather"
HE is simply conscious Of his teeth
You go on working at any part of your
anatomy and by and by your conscious
ness becomes diseased about 1t. You
have mentioned those who are tooth
conscious, mouth conscious, nose-con-
scious, eyebrow conscious, mustache-
conscious, throat conscious, anc
thumb conscious"
"Arn't people curious?"
What you need Is to be conscious ol
no part Of yourself. We are so made
that If we direct our habitual atten-
ton toward any part Of ourselves tho'
part becomes diseased: at least 1t be-
gins to torment us. A gentleman OF

Very like. Very like"

ton of my first old Indian Runner.
bought a pair early in February. AS
soon as Polly, my old duck, got settled
in her new quarter she began to lay.
Having only the one duck and plenty OF
time to care for her, watched her
with intense interest. My expectations
were more than met, for Polly laid an
egg every day for nearly ninety days
without missing a single day. Since
then, though 1t is hard for some to be-
lieve, have frequently gathered from
the pen one more egg than there were
ducks. This means that one duck laid
two eggs in one day. The results from
one duck laying early In the night and
then again in the morning. To one who
has raised Indian Runner ducks 1t is
not hard to believe their reported egg
records Of $50 and 300 eggs in year.
The Indian Runner as fancy fowl,
as a table delicacy and as an egg-pro-
ducer has few equals and no superiors.

Housing.
Housing the Indian Runner duck Is
not difficult. Unlike the chicken, they
require in their house no nests.' no
roosts-in fact, no furniture what
ever. They have no lice, no mites, no
cholera, no roup and no frozen combs.
The house need not be high, low
house is better. The principal re-
quirement Of food duck house Is that
the floor be dry and well covered with
clean litter, something like straw.

OFFICERS
FOR ARMY
SCARCE

Having decided to recruit the regi-
ments stationed in the Philippines,
constituting the colonial corps" to
their full war strength of $50 men
to each company Of infantry and 100
to each troop of cavalry, the war de.
partment has been confronted by a
serious problem, that of providing
sufficient officers for line duty.
Army officers stationed here state
that there has been a dearth of COM
lnissioned men for years. IN the Phi
lippines many officers are on detach-
cd duty serving as governors or off,
cials of provinces and districts, and
the command of battalions has de-
volved on second lieutenants and of
companies, in number of instances,
upon non-commissioned men.
1t is pointed out that with the large
organizations arranged for, the com
ranies will be divided and stationed
at different posts and that, unless more
officers are supplied, the spectacle is
likely to be presented of corporal
commanding half hundred men, and
endowed with more discretionary
powers than it is generally considered
advisable to bestow upon man whose

DOESN'T
LIKE CRITICISM

Governor Frear was busy all the
morning on land and other matters.
Then, shortly before noon, the Civic
Sanitation Committee claimed his at
tention and kept him close to his table
for a while.
When asked if he felt hurt" about
certain criticism that has been made
about the compilers of the Sanitary
Commission report, that was sub
mitted last week, the Governor said:
81 regret that any such criticism
has been made, as do not think that
the men who worked so hard on the
compilation of the report had any
idea of hampering me in any way"
The Governor signed a decree this
morning and thereby changed the
name of Roy Francis Smith to Kirby
Smith. The change was made on ac-
count of Mr. Smith being always
called Kirby" and he thinking that
he might just as well adopt the cog
nomen altogether.

very markedly lower than they are

uty United States District Attorney
C, C. Biting stated that Hull was
convicted in the magistrates court
about two years ago on a similar

practically every agricultural product
of the Hawaiian islands, save those
fruits not produced in California
pineapples and bananas, it would ap-
pear, say those interested here, that
the "Home Industry" propaganda in
California may result in the exclusion
of all vegetables which can be raised
in California.
The case of the Chun Hoon ship
ment is said to be but one of several
lately in which the California officials
have rendered mystifying decisions
against local shippers, and it is prob
able that action will be taken soon
toward an investigation as to the real
reasons for barring island produce

Seventy sacks of sweet potatoes

Francisco, were returned on the
Sierra yesterday, the California state
inspectors having refused the ship

potatoes contained worm.
r. D. Wall, assistant superintendent
of the market division of the depart

potatoes were not shipped through the
market division, he had found no
trace of any parasite or worm in the

contrary, the potatoes appeared to be

RUSSIANS HAVE ALL CONCLUDED

the island boats and went aboard Dag

The Russians in question, accord
ing DR.. Clark, are an exceptionally
fine body of people. The majority of
them were educated, that is able to
read and write in their native lang
uage, the proportion being 2S educat-
cd to 16 who were illiterate.
According to DR., Clark the percent
age of illiteracy among the immigrants

the Russians, the Spaniards coming
next and the Portuguese last.
About 80 Spaniards and Portuguese

expected that practically every one OF
the 1900 persons still held in quaran-

antine will probably begin early Mon
