According to chart compiled by
F. G. Hummel, manager of the Mutual
Telephone Company, Is. per cent OF
the Asiatic residents in Honolulu use
the telephone, while they comprise AZ
per cent of the users in the entire ter
ritory. At the end of 1910 there were
$3.50 telephones in operation on Oahu,
and today this number has been in
creased to 4T08. The automatic tele-
phone prevails throughout, being in
troduced here in 1910; at which time
1890 were installed. 1T is interesting
to note that the Chinese seem more
in favor of the use of the telephone
than do the other nationalities. The
number of telephone subscribers was
increased by S31 in 1911, and SIT in
1912 The first eight months of 1913
saw $50 new phones installed, and ii
is expected that this number will be
greatly increased by the end of No
yember. Besides telephones, the com
panyl has installed $50 electric clocks
in business houses and residences
during the past few months. - -

Il want you to tell us of your Western life,

It's about similar story, Colonel, to those
of most boys who go West, excepting that 1 have
been more than ordinarily fortunate. When l
left you at college, | determined to do every
thing possible to mend my ways, and to try to
convince father that there was some good in me-
/ had enough personal possessions to obtain
money enough to get to Arizona, and as you
know having some considerable knowledge of
horses, | became a fairly proficient cow
puncher, but my only other accomplishment
was some ability in the of a gun. | saved
my salary religiously, and after l had been out
there about eight months l won a couple of prizes
in a pistol contest, which with my savings en-
abled me to send you $780, 1 worked for five
years cowboy, and in lucky moment grub
staked' a prospector who was fortunate enough
TO locate a placer mine He wrote me of the
discovery and l joined him. We worked the
mine for about a year until it gave out We
took enough out of it, however to buy good
sized ranch in Wyoming, which have been
developing since, and which is paying very
we'll. That practically, Colonel, is the history of
my Western life"
81 heartily glad of your success, my boy,
but will your interests in Wyoming prevent
you from taking up work for here"
81 do not believe that they would interfere,
Colonel, for have them in such shape that
they can be handled by my partner Of course,
they will miss my assistance, but | believe that
in view of fathers condition l should be here,
and if | be of real assistance to you | will

duties to attend to so | will leave you while you

"A right daughter" said the Colonel "Now
Wood, I want to explain to you just what l mean

my departure for France several months ago.

of mine, and / fear that because of his age, he
was not very capable. | want to take
entire charge of my place, and to especially look
after my horses and cattle My wife's father and
brothers were successful business in New
York, and they have succeeded in instilling
business principles into me to such an extent
that l would like to apply them to my farm as
much as possible Financially l am a wealthy
man, and Jean and Harry have both inherited
considerable amount of money from uncles in
New York | want to put you in entire charge
of my place for year at whatever salary you
may think is right. At the end of the year, if
your work is as successful as l think it will be,
perhaps I can make it worth your while to dis
pose of your Wyoming interests, and take charge
permanently"

and your kind offer, Colonel and you rest

Jean fully intended to hear the story from
Wood in its every detail She was becoming
than interested in him, and to Jean this
meant a great deal, for while she had been
courted at home, and toasted abroad, she had
given men but little consideration and thought;
this with the exception, of course, of her brother
and her father, who her ideal of chivalrous
manhood.
1t was time to dine when Wood joined her,
and the dinner revelation to him; the beau
tiful dining room exquistey furnished, dinner
delightfully."- cooked and served, and hostess
famed for her beauty and wit, and he as the sole
guest combination of delightful circum-
stances that thrilled him. He enjoyed that din
ner more than any other event in his life, and
his pleasure was plainly discernabe
through his reserve, that Jean thought that
the story was hers Sitting on the veranda after
dinner, the soft Kentucky twilight rapidly fading
into night, it became only too apparent to Wood
that the subtle attraction of this beautiful girl
BODIED i'll for his peace of mind. Months before
he had recognized the strong possibility of his
admiration for her developing into sentiment
much stronger and deeper. He assured himself,
that his chances for winning girl attractive
as Jean, whose affections probably already
engaged and whose position in life much
above his were slight indeed, and he determined
to steel himself against love so hopeless He
was thinking of this as he listened to Jean
while she telling him about some of the
incidents of her school life where she and Betty
Johnson had been chums and room mates. She
was artfully leading up to the Western story.
"By the way, Wood" she said Betty writes
me that you saved Dave from thrashing once

ooh! That didn't amount to very much, ex
ccpting that it created impression on him and
he was most grateful 1t wasn't the physical
pain of getting thrashed but the humiliation he
feared. The winter season at the ranch had
just about closed, and we were getting ready for
the spring work. We were in bad shape, for our
foreman was i'll and short several men.
l was up at the northern part of the ranch
looking after some line work when he rode into
the ranch house and asked Mr.. Johnson for a
Job He was asked few of the usual questions,
and admitted that he knew very little of ranch
work. but that he could ride and willing
to learn. He told, if he was willing to stay
around for a couple of weeks until the spring
season opened, and work for his board only, that
he could have job if he came anywhere near
making good He was glad to do this he
said he was broke He was utterly unused to

in which he is enlisted. It some
times seems as if the death of Lots
wife was not called for, because Of
her simply looking back, but it should
be remembered that it showed a lack
OF faith, and possibly a longing tc
return, providing the destruction Of
her old home was not complete. II
is certain that her fate can be set
down as warning to us all, that a
defiance of an expressed command
OF God will not go unpublished.
AS a basis for a lesson on the evils
of intemperance and sin generally,
the destruction of Sodom has an i'm
portant bearing. First, Lot pitched
his tent towards the evil city of
Sodom when he might have chosen
to remain away. 1t was his first lean
ing towards sinful things. Instead
of bringing up his neighbors of Sod
ON to his level they bore him down
ward. If he had gone there with the
determination to make better the PEG
pie Of Sodom and had worked to that
end, the situation would have been
different when the angels came to see
as to the number of righteous in that
city. He fell in with the evil ways
and as a result came very near losing
his life and lost all his personal prop
erty. Second, as the people of Sodom
were dead in their sins, so are those
who are under the sway of the liquor
habit, for experience shows that the
warnings Of parents, friends, pastors,
teachers are unheeded, no matter how
urgent. Third, it is not safe to go
half way towards a people or a place
which are notorious for evil sayings
and doings. One may be strong
enough to save themselves from such
surroundings, but the perils are great
and the loss of purity of character
certain.
Having in mind the advancement
of the temperance cause in the United
States, it is subject Of great salts
faction to the temperance people of
the nation that the Webb bill, which
makes it illegal to ship liquor into
cities, towns or counties, which have
decided that intoXicants cannot be
sold in their limits, has passed both
houses of congress at Washington by
an overwhelming vote, and it's pro.
visions will soon be the law of the
This action of the national
legislative body shows conclusively
that the temperance cause is in the
ascendant in the nation.
