was indignant at the way they piled
work on the poor soul; his face was

His sisters openly declared that ia
Their should put him in business for
himself; that they would be perfectly
willing to make their shares over to
him. He had come home minus his
watch and chain. The grief OF his sis
ters was great when he confessed that
some Of the light-fingered gentry must
have purloined it. He couldn't tell
for the life Of him how he had lost it.
The girl found cloves and cardamon
seeds scattered about the top Of his
dresser. He accounted for these by
remarking that the street gamins had
made him the victim of their putty
blowers. His clothes were muddy,
his hat denied. His sisters believed
in him implicitly when he told. reluc-
family, that he had slipped in at
tempting to escort an organ-grinder
from one pavement to the other. AS
for the coupons of the French ball
found in his pocket as he drew out
his handkerchief, he was puzzled to
know how they got there unless 1t

Water Supply in Hawaii.

The rainfall on the island of Hawaii
varies greatly, ranging from the enor-
nous downpour of 1853 inches year
in the upper Waipio valley to 20
inches on some of the slopes of Huala-
lai. The only surface streams on the
island are found along the northeast
coast between Hilo and Kohala.
Waipio river according to the United
States geological survey, is the larg-
est stream on the island and has been
partly developed for irrigation. At
Kapoho, on the east point of the is
land, warm water flows from seams
in the rocks. These warm springs"
flow into a pool about one hundred
feet long, twenty-five feet wide, and
twenty feet deep.

the sort that you could with pride

that you would rather l wouldn't see

The average young man laughs at
his mothers solicitude and tries to
evade answering. But when he is cor
nered, If he admits that she is pretty
girl, employed either in Office, or shop,
he don't know which, and was intro
duced to her by girl friend Of hers;
that she hasn't a home Of her own,
but is sheltered by a boarding house
roof; that she is most modest as well
as the sweetest girl in the world, in
stead of being relieved by the young
mans last remark the mother ofttlmes
goes off into Mysteries.
Il don't know any more now than I
did before" gasps the twin head of
the family. ''If you continue to visit
her, shall never rest until find out
all about her." Any young man will
protest vigorously about his mother
interfering in his love affairs, no mat
Ter how fond she is Of her boy. He
bravely declares that as long as he
loves the girl, and she cares for him,
that's all that's necessary. He does
not add all that he has found out con.
corning her; that, although she is poor
and her plain clothes do not CORE
spond with her sweet face, she has an
honest heart and an unsullied reputa'
ton, girl whom he can trust; that
she is not running around inquiring
who he is-whether or no his father
was shoemaker or a railroad mag

was a milliner's apprentice when she
was young All that she asked when
he proposed that they keep company
was If he had good habits, steady pc
sition and whether or no he was q
trifler, wanting to take up her time
with no serious MISUNDERSTANDING
with this girl today and that one to
morrow. She added that she was a
good working girl, honest, and frankly
asked not to be deceived by declara
tion Of deep interest in her unless il
came from the heart.
It is not every girl who is brave
enough to face an anxious, keen-eyet
mother of a son, lest she break up q
sweet love dream. Nine times out o.

can be happy with. Girls who have
now and then been dubbed "nobodies'
have invariably turned out to be thu
most lovable of wives. Judgmen
should never be rendered too hastily

I feel 1t when l sorrow most;

Than never to have loved at all.
Every one thinks the single man
must have happy life of it. They
argue that he must be contented or
he would change his state of single
blessedness. The scale of their pity
is tipped in favor of the bachelor.
They like to consider that he is bash
full. In the case of widower, they
know that he has entered into mat
rimony once, and therefore he knows
how to win woman's heart. II he
remains single, it is because he will
not put anyone in the dear departed's
| place.
The truth is that the bachelor is not
deserving of such sympathy. He will
go through the world until he finds
one who appeals to him. The older
he gets the younger he wants the
girl to be with whom he shall fall
in love.
The widower's home has been so
| different that 1t Is with much difficulty
he can submit himself to the change.
He has been used to have a presiding
helpmeet, loving face close to his
own when he needed someone to cling
| to, one nearer and dearer yet than
all others when he was in need of
someone to confide in. Bereft Of his
treasure, he has no heart to make
| himself agreeable to those who have
| little or no interest in him for him
self alone. The years that have gone
before have domesticated him. He
appreciates the comfort Of his own
hearth.
He tries to make himself believe
that he is happy in the companions
ship Of his brave sons and sweet
daughters. They love him dearly, but
it is heavens plan that they shall
WOO and be loved, turning their hearts
bravely to other loves. The sons wed
and the girls marry. When the last
bird has fluttered away from the home
nest, he begins to realize fully, and

ately lonely His housekeeper may
be very good, but she has her own in
terest elsewhere. Servants come and
go. Where can he look for depend
able home staff?
He realizes that he does not grow
younger and more active with the
years. He knows then that he car
expect only fireside companion in
wife. The world and his wife are
shocked when he weds again. But
they would not be if they studied the
conditions of his lonely life and re
allied that the only path that showed
bright star to light his way was
that which led to matrimony. A
man who has once loved, tenderly and
well, is never happy away from
faithful woman's gentle influence.
Neither the bachelor nor the widow
er should be influenced into living a
lonely life. Happiness in this world
is brief. Each day should be meas
ured by its joys, not by its griefs
There is no hearth so lonely but that
woman's presence can brighten 1t
There's no heart so dusty and unten
able with the cobwebs of years about
1t but that some one woman can make
1t habitable again. Life can be happy
or adjusted as man wills 1t.

One brother midst household OF
girls, unless he is an extra level-head-
ed young fellow, is sure to be hope
lessly spoiled before he gets out OF
knickerbockers. The spelling goes on
up to the time he is man grown,
He is looked upon by the family as
the flower of the flock; the brainiest
and most sensible of young men.
They are anxious as to the time he
may fall in love, believing that there
are few, if any, girls who are quite
good enough for him. They Will not
allow cider on their table lest he
might acquire taste for it, which
might lead on to other beverages
stronger and more harmful.
The girls bring to the house only
Sunday school scholars as friends lest
he be brought in contact with a maid
who would have fun and frolic instead
of being serious. The girls hide from
their brother the fact that each had a
night key lest he would be Mortified
at the knowledge.
