far better spirits than he had left It.
He had thousand dollars in his peck
cts; four thousand five hundred more
to draw on If need be; and best of all
he could now "go home" It was a
strange instinct that called him back
to Manaswan, for there was not sim
gle tie that bound him to the place un.
less It were his mothers grave. But
after years of wandering of contented
exile, OF acquiescence in the life he had
made for himself, something within
him had at last revolted. Homesick,
heartsick, weary of palms and reefs
and naked savages, Manaswan ap-
peared to him as the solution OF this
subtle malady of the soul. At Man
aswan a miracle would happen, and he
would be happy. The first use he
made of his money was to buy his
ticket.
He gave the clergyman five hundred
dollars to assure the safe return Of the
natives to their various islands; and
that afternoon the honest, devoted fell
lows, in charge Of nine-year-old Master
Thompson, accompanied him across
the bay to cheer his departure on the
overland. Standing there in line Of
nine, marshalled by that little white
boy, they presented singular specta-
Gle on the platform, what with the
earrings in their ears, two with tat
tooed faces, and all weeping copiously.
Nor was the effect diminished by their
singing resounding hymn, and then
listening, with bowed heads, to the
prayer Tanielu, the Tongan, offered up
amid the jostle Of trunks and passen-
gers. Mats own eyes were dim as
the train moved away, and there was
q very real lump in his throat. Why
was he leaving tried and true friends
thing he valued lay behind him? Why
ives he leaving tried and true friends
for strangers? An island fairyland
for prim little Connecticut town?
Yet his resolution did not waver, and
he was inspirited by the thought that
In five days he would be "home."

STREET CAR COURTESY.

aThe Minneapolis Paul street

effort to improve the manners of
street car crews. A courtesy cam
pairn has been started which gives
promise of accomplishing results, "
the Kansas City Journel notes. "Of-
fetal courtesy can hardly be claimed
"A an American virtue, generally
speaking, and nothing is more exas-
peratfng than the petty boorishness
In which many people dressed in a
little brief authority are fond Of in
dulging. Street car men are neither
better nor worse than those in other
callings that bring men into daily con.
tact with all sorts and conditions of
peopIe. There is room all along the
oficial line for improvement Of man
ners. and the room for improvement
Is not by any means confined to the
employees Of the great public corpora

relations between the people and

crew there would be less cause for
complaint than now exists.
"But the patrons themselves, as
general thing, are more incOnslder-
ate Of each other than are the street
car men of them. Five minutes OBJ
servation of street car manners IN
any city in the country-and Kansas
City is not an exception-will make
the average person rather cynical as
to the survival of the old-fashioned
courtesy that was wont to treat
strangers, and especially women and
the aged, with due politeness. When
ever car stops at crowded corner
during the busy hours of the day
there is q wild scramble on the part
of the men for seats, leaving the
women to shift for themselves. Often
the women are rudely elbowed out
of the way Rarely in comparison
with the number of opportunities for
display of kindly consideration, does
man surrender his seat to a woman
or gray-haired man. The age OF
chivalry may not be gone forever,
but it seems to have been pretty ef-
fectually sidetracked in these days
of selfish rush and greedy appropria-
ton of the best that can be had, re-
gardless of those who are weaker. IN
the matter of street car ethics, this
is unquestionably an era that proves
the survival of the toughest and
greediest. To the straps with the
women and the elders. Strength

ONE VOTERS POWER.

Sioux City Journal-In the second
ward caucus at Clinton the test be-
tween the Taft and Cumming forces
came in the vote on temporary chair
man. It was tie, and the presiding
committeeman cast the deciding vote
in favor of Cummins. That ward sent
a delegation of eight Cummins men to
the county convention, which the Cum
minis people controlled by twelve votes,
sending solid Cummins delegation Of
twenty-five to the state convention.
One more Taft vote In the second ward
caucus would have deprived the pre-
siding committeeman of the privilege
Of voting and would have meant eight
more Taft votes and eight fewer Cum
minis votes in the county convention.
In that situation the Taft people would
have controlled the convention and
sent twenty-five delegates to the state
convention. In close state conven-
ton twenty-five votes might mean
control, and in close national con-
vention the four Iowa delegates at
large might mean control of the presi-
dental nomination. Such was the
potential power Of one humble Ameri-
can citizen who stayed away from a
caucus merely because his new shoes
were raising hob with his pet corn.

MANIFOLD HAZARDS OF GASOLINE

Great care should be taken not to
cause sparks in the vicinity of gaso-
line. Many serious fires and terrible
combustion. There have been many
cases where women have been seri-
ously burned by explosions OF gasoline
fumes, due to the creating of a friction
spark by rubbing silk and other goods
which were being cleaned, in gasoline.
A 100000 fire was started in a Win
nipeg garage by horses stamping on
concrete floor, while gasoline was
being poured from barrels into tank
in the same building. The fumes
spread over the floor, and when
spark from one of the horses hoofs
caused an explosion the entire building
and contents were destroyed. Another
unusual fire due to the combination OF
sparks and gasoline is reported from
Oklahoma. A drayman unloading
barrel Of gasoline from his dray to
stone pavement let it come down
rather hard. The steel rim of the bar
rel struck spark as it fell. and there
must have been a leak in the barrel,
permitting fumes to escape, for an ex.
plosion resulted instantly, setting the
barrel on fire, and causing consider
able damage to the neighboring proper
ty Gasoline should be regarded as
dangerous as gunpowder. and everyone
using it should be acquainted with the
fact that the fumes of gasoline, unlike
those of most liquids. fall instead OF
rise. Consequently they settle on the
floor, and are especially dangerous
when matches are thrown down care
