HER LOVE" RETURNED
But Now, Despite Her Pleas, He Does
Not See Why He Should Take Her
Back-His Concise Explana-
ton of His Reasons.

They had been deeply in love when
they married. That was ten years
ago. Much had happened in ten years
and in their case they had drifted
apart. At first there were little
scraps, mended with a kiss and a few
loving words. By degrees the rift be-
came larger. She wanted the COM
forts, if not the luxuries of life, and
told him many times of the motor
cars and theatre boxes she could have
had if she had married Tom, Dick or
Harry instead OF him. Once he used
to weave stories Of a tomorrow, but
tomorrow never came, and finally the
friction became too much for him.
"You are never satisfied" he said
after one of their quarrels, according
to a New York letter to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. "You have no belief
in me. Perhaps l don't amount to
much. We don't get on. You remain
here and I'll find a place for myself
I'll let you have enough to keep you
going-S25 a week..
She agreed to this ~joyfully, and in
a few days he removed to a furnished
room not many blocks away Each
week she received an envelope with
the stipulated amount in it. Other
wise they lived as strangers.
The man had only left himself en-
ough out of his salary to keep him.
self alive. There was no overplus
for amusements, and his chief recre-
alton was reading at the public lib
rary.
One evening, having finished his
evening paper, he took up a pencil and
began to draw on the edge. He had
a sense of humor and was making a
comic picture of something he had
just read. He was fond of drawing
and had given much time to it before
his marriage. Then he took a sheet
of paper and drew several comic
sketches, and they amused him so
much that just for fun he sent n
to a comic paper. 1t was accepted
and the editor asked for more. He
kept on drawing, and in three years
had attained a reputation under the
name of "Scorn." Meanwhile his
wife lived on in the old house, per-
fectly contented and only slightly cur
ious when her allowance was gradu-
ally increased. When one day the en-
velope contained fifty dollars she de-
cided to go after him. She called
at the place where he had been en-
ployed when they parted and asked
to see him. The clerk grinned.
"He left over a year ago."
She rushed to the house where he
had roomed. "He left over a year
ago." she was informed. Still the ff-
ty dollars arrived regularly.
In California lives a thin man who
is something of a cynic. His reputa-
ton as a comic artist is established
and money comes easily to him. Once
a pretty woman asked him why he
lived alone.
81 have a wife," he told her. 81
left her because she didn't believe in
me. l am never going back to her.
1t hurts a MAJ to be tied to a bundle
of pessimism in petticoats."
"And did she love you?' the pref
ty woman asked.
81 hardly think So"
Once his agents wrote to him that
she wanted to know where he lived.
"Tell her." he wrote, chat l am in
the Town of Tomorrow"
And she understood.

LITTLE ANTI-ANTIDOTES.

Anti suffrage.
"Women will either divide on issues

will vote in opposition to men, in which
case they nullify mems votes"
Antidote.
John Smith will either vote al Bill
Brown votes or he won't. If he votes
as Bill does he merely doubles the
vote. If he votes contrariwise to Bill
he kills Bills vote. Which shall be
disfranchised, Bill or John?
Anti suffrage.
Gas to women voting, the situation

actly the same. If this were the case
the business would soon fail"
Antidote.
Well, how would you like to be a
partner in a business where your in

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: The item in your issue of May
26 to the effect thot an epidemic of
scarlet fever spread at Orange, New
Jersey, last spring from child whose
parents were Christian Scientists, and
who would not call in doctor, has
but very slight foundation. The facts
are that the parents of the child in
question called physician to make a.
diagnosis as soon as suspicious symp-
toms were noticed. A quarantine was
established and maintained as soon as
the disease was pronounced scarlet
fever And the entire epidemic" con-
sisted of only nine cases, only part
of which could possibly be traced to
the case of the child in question.
Since the item in question was put
in circulation the health officer at
Orange, New Jersey, has issued a
statement in which he acquitted these
parents of any intentional neglect. and
said: They did everything suggested
by as In short, these parents who
were Christian Scientists did just as
much for the protection of the public
as could have been done by any par
ents, and they did the best that could
he done for their child by providing
the most effective and reliable treat
ment. 1t should be added that the
child recovered and was perfectly well
long before the quarantine was lifted.

PUBLICITY FOR THE BOOZE BUSINESS

Perhaps the most salutary lesson that has
been driven home by the hearings before the
liquor license commission is that the booze
business in Honolulu must be above-board.
Publicity rather than the commissions actions
which have, to say the least, not been severe
lis teaching this lesson.
The law creating the license commission, the
commission s own procedure and rules, the
amendatory acts of the last Legislature, all were
directed toward making the sellers of liquor
thoroughly responsible for straightforward
conduct of their business, just as other mer-
chants and businessmen are responsible
Honolulu is not free from the feeling that in
some quarters that obtains elsewhere-that
liquor selling needs special privileges and spe-
cial fayors. A. director of the brewery re-
marked the other day to the Star-Buetin that
of course Bartlett had handled moneys III ways
for which he could give no accountlng-tlat IN
the brewery business it was necessary to handle
money OBVIOUSLY and perhaps a little question
ably--oh, nothing illegitimate, of course, mere
ly not as money in other businesses is handled.
This sort of conception is precisely what has
helped to give the booze business such bad odor
in Honolulu right now. Neither, brewer
moi any retailer should expect to jugge books,
funds or consciences.
Several of the saloonmen called before the
license commission have revealed lack OF
business methods SO childish as to be laugh
able They have also revealed almost total
lack of sense of responsibility under the law.
Apparently the reiterated orders Of the com
mission in the past and the plain letter of the
law have made no impression on their minds.
Even acquitting them of all intentional guilt,
they have been grossly negligent, for they have
failed to observe the commissions explicit
rules.
Perhaps the hammer of publicity will drive
a lesson into their dull brains now that won't
soon be forgotten. Their lapses have been
shown up and they are exposed either as fools
or knaves- of which roles they would probably
prefer the latter. Perhaps the lesson of the
past two weeks will keep them in the straight
and narrow path during the next year. Ii
not, they III be tripped up again and perhaps
the license commission won be of the lenent
sort that it is now.
