HAVE NO NEED OF THOUGHT
All That Troubles Eskimo ls That
They Shall Be Sure Of Getting
Enough to Eat.

Where the physical struggle for life
is at it's keenest, as it is among the
Eskimos, the years glide by free from
the more subtle cares and worries of
the civilized man. The Eskimo does
not count the days and keeps no rec
ord Of time. All his thoughts are CEN
tered on hunting.
Once l asked an Eskimo who seemed
to be plunged in reflection, What are
you thinking about?"
He laughed at my question, and
said, ooh, 1t is only you white men
who go in so much for thinking! Up
here we only think of our flesh-pits,
and whether we have enough for the
long dark of the winter. II we have
meat enough, then there is no need to
think. 1 have meat and to spared"
l saw that I had insulted him by
crediting him with thought.
On another occasion / asked an un-
usually intelligent Eskimo, Panigpak,
who had taken part in Peary's last
North Polar expedition:
Tell me. what did you suppose was
the object of all your exertions?
What did you think when you saw
the land disappear behind you and
you found yourself out on the drifting
ice-iloes?
"Think?" said Panigpak, astonished.
81 did not need to think. Peary did
that"
Eating becomes the great thing with
the Eskimos. once excused myself,
when paying visit, with the plea that
! had already eaten and had had
enough. / was laughed at, and the
answer l received was;
There thou talkest like a dog!
Dogs can be stuffed till they are salts
fed and can eat no more; but people
= ,ople can always eat!"-Knud
Rasmussen, in The People of the Polar
North.

EnaIish nSocietY."

There are three classes Of society
in England-the aristocrats, who are
barbarians; the middle class, who are
philistines, and the dregs of society,
who are nothing at all. 1t is funny
thing that the late King Edward, who
had all the vices of the aristocrats,
vas beloved BY the middle class, and
that his son, King George, who has
all the virtues of the middle class, is
despised by the aristocrats. He and
the queen are always spoken of as
George and the Dragon.

From the start, the young fellow
declined to lie down in the regular
groove and be ground through the
mill. Very early he made up his
mind what he wanted to make of
himself, and then set himself stead
lastly to the task. The thing Wood
row Wilson fixed his mind on was
public life, the service of his coun-
try. Straightway he began his
preparation. He made his regular
course at Princeton subordinate to
the great work of fitting himself for
public life. He devoted every en-
ergy to the furnishing and the train
ing of mis- mind as an authority on
government, the history of govern
ment, and leadership in public
life. Wilson never, either then or
in later life, wrote out his speeches,
except on the very rare occasions
when it was necessary to be verbally
correct.
After graduating at Princeton,
Woodrow Wilson went to the Uni
versity of Virginia, that great insti-
tuition of liberal learning organized
by Thomas Jefferson. Here he
spent year studying in the law de-
partment under the singularly able
guidance of DR.. John b. Minor.
1t would be impossible to de-
scribe sensatlonally or dramatically
the two years Wilson spent in en-
thusiastic labors at John Hopkins,
but it would be equally impossible
to exaggerate the i'm portance of
these years on his mind and charac-
ter. Wilson's chief job was to get
at the real facts as to how the legis-
lative department of the United
States government actually worked
not what the theory of it was, or
was supposed to be, but how, as
matter of fact, it did work. Early
in 1885 he completed that job. He
had made a book, and now 1t was
published: Congressional Govern
ment; A study of Government by
Committee. 1t was the first ac-
count ever given of the way Ameri-
cans actually do govern themselves.
The book met with instant success.
1t was Immediately recognized as a
final, standard piece of work. To-
day, 81 years later, it remains I'M
superseded.
In the summer of 1885 Wood
row Wilson married Miss Ellen
Louise Arson, daughter of line of
Georgia clergymen. During the
next three years Wilson taught his
tory and political economy at Bryn
Mawr, and the next two years were
spent as professor of the same sub

Our President.
fe of Woodrow Wilson.


Wilson. Yet behind the achieve
ments of the characted that thu!
won national recognition lay forty
years of preparation. The public
knows little of those years.
Woodrow Wilson was born II
1886, in Christmas week, IN the
town of Stanton, in the beautiful
Shenandoah Valley. He is the
eighth President born in the Olc
Dominion. In temperament, ripe
ness of statesmanlike views, capac'
lily for political leadership, he is
particularly fitted to be the success
or of Washington, Jefferson, Madi'
son, and Monroe. As they were
prepared, above all other men OF
their time, to do the particular work
of founding the Government of the
new Republic and giving the first
cast and direction to our political
institutions, so, it is no idle rhetoric
to affirm, is Wilson uniquely fitted
to preside over the critical hour
when the nation is perplexed by the
necessity of meeting new industrial,
social and commercial condition un-
dreamed of by the fathers of the
Republic.
Woodrow Wilson's grandfather,
James Wilson, was born in Ireland,
whence he emigrated, landing in
Philadelphia little more than a
century ago. James Wilson was a
printer: he obtained employment in
the Office of the "Aurora," which
was the leading Democratic paper
of the day, recognized as the organ
of Thomas Jefferson. Philadelphia
was then the the capital of the
United States. In the year 1912
he appears by the Philadelphia Di-
rectory of that date as Publisher of
the paper.
About the year 1890. James Will
son contracted the Western fever
and moved to Steubenville, Ohio,
where he founded, or bought the
"Western Herald" and made him
self a power in the Democratic party
in Ohio, becoming "Judge" Will
son.
In this background of vigorous
Western life, among the pioneers of
the state of Ohio, Woodrow Will
sons father, Joseph r. Wilson, was
born and grew to manhood. Joseph
X. Wilson began life as teacher,
first in an academy, then in Jeffer-
son College, then in Hampden-
Sidney College. Soon, however,
he entered the Presbyterian minis
try, He married Janet Woodrow,
daughter of the Presbyterian min
lister of Chilcothe, Ohio. Janet
was born in Carlisle, England, but
her father had crossed the ocear
when she was little girl.
Two years after Woodrow Wilson
was born, his father was called tc
the pastorate of the Presbyterian
church of Augusta, Georgia, one o
the most influential congregations o
the South. He remained in THU
pulpit Throughout the war.
In the autumn of 1870, the Will
sons moved to Columbia S. c. Ii
the autumn of 1873, being ther
seventeen years old, Woodrow en-
tered Davidson College. The mex
year young Wilson stayed at HON,
with his father, who had now beef
called to Wilmington, preparing
himself to enter Northern UniVer
sity, where 1t was thought he woulC
find better opportunities for educa
ton.
The future Governor of New
Jersey first saw the state where hi
earliest political honors we're to b,

BURST OF song
FOLLOWS VISIT
TO ISLANDS

The following verses are from the
rpen of Maroellus l.. Joslyn, a son of
Mrs. Mary Joslyn of Santa Monica,
CAL, who recently stopped in that CITY
en- route to his eastern home follow
ing trip to Honolulu:
To the Hawaiian Islands
Pacific maiden, soft, at east.
Blue girdled by the summer seas,
Cool tempted by the mountain breeze,
Hawaii, fairest of all these.
About thy form the sea swells break
To pearls, that deep sea lovers make,
And rising, offer, as they take
One look, and die, content with fate.
One look upon thy gentle swell
OF green.clad slopes, they love SO
well; - 4t
One look to where thy twin peaks
rise
Cloud hammered, in the very skies.
One look of bliss, one shudder then
One pang to think what might have
been. q s fSo.@
For we'll indeed sea lovers know,
Hawaii's heart, she may not show
For there the fires eternal glow,
And primal passions surge and blow.
But oh! the sweetness of her smile
Her gentleness must still beguile!
And what If tropic fury burn
Within her breast, some day twill
turn tSf
To gentleness-her lovers signs,
Their burden waited to the skies.
Cloud.wronght, descend and cool her
brow,
TIL she shall lovelier grow than now,
And all her fever washed away,
The sea. will reach her heart some
day
And there a quiet lakegwill lie
And lave her breast, and you and /,
Her lovers now, her lovers then
VIII lie at peace with isles and men.

PROPERTY OF CHRISTIAN
CHURCH CHANGES HANDS

As the outcome of an option secured
more than year ago, papers have
been signed by which the Christian
Church property on Alakea street will
be taken over and used for business
purposes by the Honolulu Wire Bed
Company. j. II. Bailey, head of the
company, who secured the option, has
been paying 500 a month in rentals
toward the purchase price and the
trustees Of the Christian Church re.
Gently decided the property over to
him.
Services will be held In the church
until June, 1914, at which time the
business of the Honolulu Wire Bed
Company will be transferred from its
present location at the corner of King
and Alakea streets to the church build.
ing. The church building will not be
moved of the property, but will be
remodeled and enlarged In order to
suit the needs OF the business. AL.
though the Christian Church owns a
piece of property at the corner OF
Keeaumoku and Beretania streets,
upon which ii had intended building
within the next two years, there has
been some prejudice against the site
on account of the rapid growth OF Jap
anese compounds in the vicinity. 1t is
probable that this property will be
sold and the proceeds devoted to the
purchasing of a lot in a more favor,

lowed an artillery battle at long range
on the 18th between General Pope's
siege guns and the Confederate gun
boats and batteries.
General Pope had begun siege opera
tions at New Madrid early In March,
as soon as it became known In the
Federal camps that the Confederates
had established themselves there. This
they had done before evacuating Co
lumbus, on the Kentucky shore. thirty
miles up the river. Columbus had
been the headquarters Of General
Leonidas Polk throughout the war I'M
til he evacuated on March 2, being
forced there by the advance on land
and water of enemies too strong to
withstand. The troops and guns at
Columbus were taken to Island No. 10,
in. the Mississippi, near New Madrid,
and to that town. the two positions
having been selected for the Confed-
crate defense of the Mississippi on the

AT New Madrid the Confederates had
