FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admlrer.

1t is learned that a number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
OF Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and In Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist who had been for some time
In both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings Of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found In the pos
session of some OF the many friends
OF Stevenson during his years In the
Pacific.
The result OF this research has been
the finding OF an essay, said to be
highly poetical In character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano In action. supposedly either the
famous crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; piece OF fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number OF smaller verse compost
tions.
CO" anolner manuscript, a blank
verse relation Of well-known legend
of Maui. of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer OF Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
OF effort.

He's Net a Chicken Faneler.

Speaking Of chickens, a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted. un-
certainest creatures that walk the
family acres. Almost everybody tries
to raise chickens at one time or an
other. Looks easy-that's the deceiv-
ing part Of 1t.
And 1t is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything. medium sized chickens don't
know anything. II there is any change
Of an intellectual nature as the size
increases the big ones know less II
possible than the little ones.
III there is a wire partition In your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead OF going around and
walking through the door"

The chances of the passage of the
statewide bill are predetermined, but
it seems to have a better opportunity
of passing the senate than of going
through the house. Should the bill
fail, there is a plan on foot to submit
the statewide measure by the initia-
tive at the election in 1914.
Temperance sentiment is strong in
Washington as is indicated by the fact
that 81 per cent of the territory af the
state is dry by reason of the operation
of the local Prohibition law The
temperance folks are much pleased
with the passage of the Webb bill, and
look to it to protect Washington's
dry territory.

whisky robbed the father of earning.
Listen to the sobs of these little
ones. lying alone in their little beds at
night in some orphans home, snatched
from their mothers breast, and left to
the care of strangers so that, heart
broken despairing mother can earn her
living.
Listen to the sobs of that poor
mother at night after working all day,
whether winter, summer, hot or cold,

earnings can afford, longing to see
her babes, knowing they are grieving

Listen to the. causes of hundreds of

in various ways by the effects of
whisky.
Listen to the mothers pleading to
their sons not to drink; with the
daughters not to marry the man who
drinks. These are all in vain so long
as whisky is allowed to be made.

pot.
Lunch over, Bedight packed the
cooking outfit and replaced 1t in the
boat. The sky was smoky in the west,
smoky with heat that generated a
strange restlessness among the quiv-
ering trees, while the air was sur
charged with a portentous Quietude
that presaged a clash of elemental
fury. A black cloud stood upon the
rim of the lake and caused look of
concern in Bedight's eyes. A glance
in Miss MeConnell's direction showed
the girl absorbed in her work. The
mayor picked up a magazine and
stretched himself upon the sward be-
meath a huge yellow birch. He was
attracted from his story half hour

Hurriedly springing to his feet, he

the -veriest trifie OF anxiety in her
voice. I'VE must be going. The sky

The man hesitated.
Don't you think 1t wiser to remain
here until the storm is over? We are

seled the mayor.
But the wind will kick up the lakes
until we can't get across for hours"
cried the woman nervously.
