PRAISES VIRTUE OF SILENCE
Habit Of Carrying Domestic Troubles
to Outsiders Is Deplored
by Writer.

One pretty sensible girl. who truly
loved her young husband, who as truly
loved her. came near wrecking their
happiness through her uncontrolled
tongue. She had always been in the
habit, and very proper one 1t is, OF
telling her mother everything in her
girlhood.
Now that she was married woman,
she ought to have Disseminated be-
tween what concerned her husband and
what concerned herself alone. She had
no business to tell her mother of con-
fidences which passed between him
and herself, and he had no idea that
she would not appreciate this fact un-
til she happened to relate what moth
err said when told her thus and So"
why, you didn't tell your mother
that" he cried. His tongue angered
her and she retorted In sudden
flame: Indeed, did. l shall always
tell my mother exactly what please"
Very WELL" he commented coldly. II

The fact that while the Asiatics
are largely IN excess of any other
race in Hawaii. they are in no manner

are 10000 Asiatics in Hawaii, 10000
Of whom are Japanese and 10000 Chi

numbers, because the increase by rea

more than 500 have ever registered
as voters. The Democratic organiza-

we could ever do was to get approx

these did not vote. ] may say that
