"Twenty-three" has almost passed
from slang into proper language. but
to the average man "Seventy-three"
is still an unknown quantity.
"Seventy-three" is telegraph slang
and into those two characters are
crowded every wish for good. When
the telegrapher crooks his elbow he
utters "Seventy-three" in place of
Here's looking" and means vol
urnes more than the usual greeting.
Seventy three" takes the place of
Yours truly" at the bottom of his
letters and "Seventy-three" is .
word of farewell more pregnant with
so long than 9 so long"
It appears on the badge of the Mag
netic Club, composed largely of those
in the telegraph and kindred trades,
and a huge "73" in electric lights is
the principal decoration at their din

PEARLS OF THE PACIFIC.

{" For the past nine years l have
made my home in the Hawaiian Is
lands" says Mr.. William Alanson
Bryan, president of the Pacific Scien-
tific Institution, of Honolulu. Mr..
Bryan is q scientist whose pet ambi-
tion is to add to the store of human
knowledge by thorough exploration
of the islands OF the Pacific, many of
which have never been visited by a
white man. In a pleasant chat about
affairs in our island territory. he said:
There is peculiar charm about
life in Hawaii, and once man comes
under its spell he rever cares to live
anywhere else. 1t is not the climate
entirely, though. that is near perfec-
tion; it is not the superb scenery,
that cannot be matched on the globe,
nor is it solely due to the kindly in
tercourse and hospitality of the in
habitants. All these are factors in
imparting an individuality to a land
that has unfailing charms.
I'm Hawaii we have the greatest
mixture of races, and yet there is no
fraction or prejudice based on race.
The individual stands on his own
merit. The Cinnamon and English
men, Japanese, Kanakas, Germans
and Americans will sit down to
banquet together, and nobody is at
discount because of his racial origin.
This is true as q general proposition.
but, OF course, the white man does
not as u rule. intermarry either with
the Orientals or the handsome and
captivating native women. The. 9th
ers cross freely, and curiously enough,
the offspring of a Chinaman and Kama
ka girl is happy result of intermin-
gled blood, the little halfbreed hav-
ing its mothers beauty and sunny
nature and its father steadiness and
thrift.
The native Hawaiians are q van
ishing race, there being only about
30. 900 OF them left. They seem to re-
alize their melancholy situation, and
heir general attitude is Of discourage
ment. as though it were useless to
strive against destiny. 1t is very
pathetic, but see no remedy Civil
ization has been their mortal foe"

MIX to Clean White Gloves.

The smell Of gasoline on white gloves
Il 80 very Objectionable to some people
they hesitate about using it. 1t is
possible thing to clean gloves and do It
well. too. without using gasoline. This
method IL not only good because Of
there being no odor. 1t is also easier
on the hands. Gasoline is very rough
ening to the skin. To clean gloves sue
cessfully Ill q small basin or bowl with
milk. Dip a piece Of clean white fan-
mel in the milk and rub white soap on
the flannel as well. Then clean your
white gloves thoroughly with this. Be
sure all the soiled. grimy spots are gone
and finally rinse with clean milk. Do
not be alarmed II your gloves turn q
gray or yellow color. You have done
them no harm. After your gloves have
dried you will find them soft and
glossy, and there will be no unpleasant
odor. The expense Of cleaning the
gloves IS small. Several pairs can be
cleaned in a pint Of milk. White kid
shoes and slippers can also be cleaned
In this 'ay.

THE tail of rhinoceros was gift
for q wedding present to Miss Mary
Carlisle, from Col. Theodore Roose-
welt. Mighty Hunter of Oyster Bay.
The astonishment that followed the
arrival at the Carlisle home of the SIM
gular-looking package from the Oys-
ter Bay village defied suppression.
When the bride opened the package,
feeling that it was the greatest prize
of her record breaking collection of
of wedding gifts, little scream of
alright drew the attention of her at
tendants to q black peculiar object on
the floor. 1t was the tail OF the rhi-
nOcerOS.

CHRISTMAS IN THE oLDEN TIME.
7 YEAP on more wood: The wind is
IL chill:
But. let it whistle as it will.
i i Well keep our Christmas merry
Still.
Each age has deemed the newborn year
The flttest time for festal cheer.
Even. heather yet. the savage Dane
At Iol more deep the need did drain.
High on the beach his galleys drew
And feasted all his pirate crew:
Then in his low and pine built hall.
Where shields and axes decked the wall.
They gorged upon the half dressed steer.
CarouSed in seas of sable beer.
While round in brutal jest were thrown
The half gnawed rib and marrow bone.
Or listened all in grim delight
While scalds yelled out the joys Of fight.
Then forth in frenzy would they HE.
While wildly loose their red locks fly.
And. dancing round the blazing pile.
They make such barbarous mirth the while
AS best might to the mind recall
The boisterous joys Of Odin's hall.
And when our Christian sires Of old
Loved when the year its course had rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back again
With all its hospitable train.
Domestic and religious rite
Gave honor to the holy night
On Christmas eve the bells were rung:
On Christmas eve the mass was sung.
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest and chaIice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen.
The hall was dressed with holly green.
Forth to the wood did merry men 60
To gather In the mistletoe
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal. tenant. serf and all.
Power laid his rod Of rule aside,
And ceremony dofed her pride.
The heir. with roses In his shoes.
That night might village partner choose,
The lord underogating share
The vulgar game Of post and pair"
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage. as the crown.
Brought tidings Of salvation down.
The fire the well dried logs supplied
Went roaring up the chimney wide.
The huge hall tables oaken face,
Scrubbed till 1t shone. the day to grace.
Bore then upon its massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord.
Then was brought in the lusty Drawn
BY the old blue coated serving man.
Then the grim boar's head frowned ON
high.
Crested with bays and rosemary.
Well can the green garbed ranger tell
How. when and where the monster fell;
what dogs before his death he tore
And all the batting Of the boar.
The wassal round In good brown bowls.
Garnished with ribbons blithely trowls.
There the huge sirloin reeked. Hard BY
Plum porridge stood and Christmas pie
Nor failed old Scotland to produce
At such high tide her savory goose.
Then came the merry maskers in
And carols roared with blithesoms din.
II unmelodious was the song.
1t was hearty note and strong.
Who lists may in their mumming go
Traces Of ancient mystery.
White skirts supplied the masquerade.
And smutted cheeks the visors made.
But, oh. what maskers richly digit
Can boast Of bosoms half 20 light!
England was merry England when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas broached the mightieot
ale:
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale.
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer
The poor mans heart through half the
year.

It - the essay ON divorce which has
called out the severest protests from
King Alfonso. It il, however, reason
able to believe that in her remarks
about the family and women she has
also thrown a few bombs into the court
in which she was reared, for her book
IL not a compilation Of commonplace.
On the subject Of the indissolubility
Of marriage there Is no doubt that the
1nfanta feels strongly. Her own mar.
riage was unhappy. and she speaks
from the heart when she declares her
self in favor Of divorce. She argues
the matter at some length.
In her preface the infanta says that
she has been placed near enough to
the social questions she discusses to
know them and far enough from some
to view them without prejudice. She
believes that opinions as honest and
as carefully thought out as hers will
interest those who seek to CLEAN from
all elements Of society indications Of
the tendency Of the present And she
adds. with a decided pen. that she has
never been afraid Of criticism.

Hstty crssa's Son Expresses His Opinion
Freely Whils In San Fraacisoo.
Col. Edward Rowland Green, OF
Texas. son of Hettie Green, of New
York, arrived here heralded as "a
man who wants to marry woman,
not clothes-horse."
Children are the last things they
want" he said of New York women.
None of them know how to cook or
sew. And they would deny that
their good old homely grandmothers
knew how to wash clothes.
IF a fashionable New York wo-
man went up Fifth avenue with u
ring in her nose, the jewelers. could not
supply the nose rings fast enough to
meet the demand. They want to
peacock around the theaters and res
taurants so as to be seen by men not
their husbands"
Asked if leap year might not seal
his fate with some Western girl quail
itied on domestic lines, he said:

Pumpint To Reclaim Snake River Land.

Through installation of gasoline
engines for pumping purposes. it is
very likely that within few years
practically every river bar between
Lewiston and Riparia will be devoted
to orchards, gardens or alfalfa fields,
as the gasoline engine it seems has
solved the problems OF elevated water
from the river at such cost, the irri-
cation Of the high bars becomes prof.
liable, while greater economies are
introduced in thus delivering water
to the lower bars. For years the
problem Of putting water on the
river bars at q cost that would enable
orchards or gardens to be handled
profitable seemed beyond solution,
and only those places where gravity
water was available could be con-
sidered Of any substantial value.
With the introduction Of the gaso-
line engine and cheap fuel. however,
it is now not only profitable to pump
for orchard purposes, but it has been
shown water can be supplied at o
figure that justifies ALFALFA growing
In the handling Of the gosoline pu mps
some very careful calculations have
been made and it is said that tests
have shown that with the cost Of
distillate at IL cents gallon, water
can be. delivered to an elevation Of
100 feet for irrigation, for $2.75 per
acre, this allowing for 100 days Of
irrigation, the total supply for the
season being an acre foot. The gas
oline engine is thus destined to re-
claim many hundreds of acres of
river lands that otherwise would re-
main non n-productive and undeveloped
perhaps indefinitely, for the rivers
alone remain the source of water
supply for these isolated plateaus, in
instances located many miles from
creeks or springs.

Us pay considerably more attention to

Twas in shoemaker shop in town
in Skagit county, some time ago.
when the shoemaker said to me:

ing out to me q bronzed and exceed

can assure you."

replied.

PEELED to walk most of the way

of is Miss Mae Kruger. who is max.
ing political speeches favoring Hi

think Miss Krueger should be recog.
nized from on high, is because she is
human and feels for the depressed

taken from q speech she made at a

cause of my insisting that she re-
ceive her crown. harp. halo, and so

for she is more than entitled to them.
Here is the extract:
Miss May Kruger, reading news item
from q morning publication which re-
ported the fact that the police had "pick-
ed up" fifteen men who were being given
a meal al Providence Hospital, bitterly
arraigned Chief Claude Bannick's policy
Of arresting men whose only offence was
that they were hungry and were shar-
ing meal the Sisters of Providence
Hospital were glad to provide for them.
She insisted the present police policy of
driving away from the city men with
money, arresting those without any,
hampering humane work and exposing
youthful first offenders to the jeers of
police court throng was an illustration Of
the present administration mistakes.
She insisted it was the duty of the police
force to protect the public from highway
men and burglars, rather than devote its
time to "picking up" hungry men,"
