IT only requires a slight declivity
to give the running motion to water.
Three inches per mile, in smooth,
straight channel, give a velocity of
about three miles per hour. What
is true of water is equally true of
morals. The best of men only need
slight push from adversely to OBJ
tain dOWnhill momentum.

Never rail at the world-it is just as we make IT.;
We see not the flower. if we sow not the seed;
And as for i'll luck. why. it's just as we take it
The heart that's in earnest no bars can impede.

And say that the search for true friendship is

But remember this world. though it be not the

l have three small groups that shall
try and take up this week; these three
are all connected and should there be
taken together if possible. The first
will be
GRACE-FAVOR:
Grace, in French grace, Latin, gratia,
comes from crates, kind, because grace
results from kindness independently of
the merit of the receiver; but favor is
that which is granted voluntary and
without hope of recompense, independ-
emily of all obligations.
Grace is never used but in regard to
to those who have offended and made
themselves liable to punishment. Favor
is employed for actual good. An act of
grace, in the spiritual sense, is that
merciful influence that God exerts over
his unworthy children from the infinite
goodness of his Divine nature; it is to
his special grace that we attribute every
good feeling by which we are prevented
from committing sin. The term faror
is employed indiscrimenately with re-
gard to man or his Maker. Those who
are in power have the greatest oppor-
tunity of comforting faDors but all we
receive at the hands of our Maker must
be acknowledged as favor.
But say l could repent and could obtain,
By act of grace, my former state, how
Would height recall high thoughts.
Milton.
"A bad man is wholly the creature of
the world. He hangs upon it's far0r.''
GRACE, CHARM:
Grace is altogether corporeal, charm is
either corporeal or mental:
The grace qualities the action of the
body; the charm is an inherent quality
in the body itself. A lady moves,
dances and walks with grace; the charm
es of her person are equal to those of
her mind
Savage's method of life particularly
qualified him for conversation, of which
he knew how to practice all the graces.
johnson
Music has charms to sooth the savage
breast. -Congreve.
GRACEFUL, COMELY, ELEGANT:
A graceful figure is rendered so by
the department of the body. A comely
figure has that in itself that pleases
the eye. G1acetulness results from ma
ture improved by art; comeliness is most
ly the work Of nature. 1t is possible
to acquire gracefulness by exterior aids;
but for comely form we are indebted
to nature aided by circumstances. Grace
is quality pleasant to the eye; but
Elegance, from the Latin eligO, electus,
select and choice, is quality of high
err nature that inspires admiration.
Elegant is applicable, like graceful, to
the motion of the body, or like comedy
to the person, and is extended in it's
meaning also to language and even to
dress. A persons step is graceful; his
air or his movements are elegant. The
grace of an action lies chiefly in it's
adaptation to the occasion.
The first who approached her was a
youth of graceful presence and courtly
air, but dressed in richer habit than
had ever been seen in Arcadia. Steele.
Isidas, the son Of Phoelidas, was at
this time in the bloom of his youth, and
very remarkable for the c0meziness of
his person.-Addison.
The natural progress of the works of
men is from rudeness to convenience,
from convenience to elegance, and from
elegance to nicely. johnson.

PROMISING BOXER
CALLED BY
DEATH


Mystery surrounds the recent death
in San Francisco of Frank Mcconnell
the well known boxer who had many
friends among the sporting fraternity
CT Honolulu
The San Francisco Chronicle of re-
cent date says:
Frank Mcconnell, 1t one time one
of the most promising lightweight
boxers ever developed in this com.
munity, passed away Wednesday
night at the City and County Hospital
his death resulting from a PECULIAR
combination of circumstances that
caused the police to- investigate the
matter. Detectives we're detailed on
the case, and notwithstanding the fact
that the doctors in charge at the hos
pital declared that Mcconnell had
died from the effects OF peritonitis
and not to the alleged injuries he re-
ceived a month ago from his step
father. John Connolly, in their home
at 1910 Natoma street an autopsy was
ordered.

Inquiry yesterday.
Not so many years ago Mcconnell
was believed to be one of the most
promising lightweights ever seen In
the boxing business but he received
severe Injuries. early In his boxing
career and never did develop. It was
in a battle in 1903 at the old Wood
wards Pavilion that he was matched
with Spider Welsh, and In that en-
counter he was so seriously Injured
that he was laid up for long time
from partial paralysis. He never FUZZY
recovered and was cripple for all
time.
Injured in Quarrel.
So well did the sporting fraternity
of this city think of Mcconnell as a
boxer that after his sickness many
benefits were arranged for him and
several large purses subscribed for to
help him. He never got any better,
and in quarrel at his home amonth
ago he vas severely injured by his
stepfather, John Connolly. Connolly
was allowed out on bail and the case
has never come to trial.
