felt told me. "One woman put a
special delivery stamp on the en-
velope in which she sent the 81 back.
Another brought it to me personally
at great inconvenience. On the other
hand, man worth $1,O0O,OO0, who
lives at one of the big hotels, never
sent it back at, all. l allowed six
weeks in each case before | reached
verdict.
$50 l think the honesty of the
public at large and of women partic-
ularly is fairly well established.
Which was what | set out to prove"
The difference between the hon
esty of the sexes, as shown, is so
slight that it does not constitute
final proof. Had another fifty men
and another fifty women been baited
with the dollar the figures might
have been reversed. The proof, if it
be accepted as proof, is that there
are two more honest women among
fifty women than there are honest
men among fifty men, or that hon
esty is nearly as common among
men as among women. That is the
fact, no doubt. 1t is fact that is
interesting in connection with the
belief among some women that wo-
men as voters would be more right
eous than men. The probability is
that they would be neither more nor
less assiduous in the public interest.
If there is any radical difference
between the sexes in the matter of
honesty it never has been demon
strated. Mr.. Moffett's demonstra-
ton of the commences Of degree
of serupulosity which prevents an
individual from keeping dollar
that does not belong to him, al
though there is little danger of the
discovery of his moral delinquency,
is wholesome. That about as many
men as women proved to be that
serupulous is not surprising.

THE HONEST SEX

Cleveland Moffett, commissioned
by McClure's Magazine to test the
honesty of his fellow countrymen,
finds that three-fifths of them are
honest. He sent to each of fifty
men and fifty women a 81 bull en-
closed in letter which showd that
the bill was not intended for the
recipient, but was intended for "The
Novelty Supply Company" in reality
the sender. Thirty-three women re-
turned the money. Thirty one men
returnd it.

the st. Louis Republic says:

II never comes to Christmas but I
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes;
And we punched them all together,
even little baby brother
nut in something for the present
that we always got for mother.
We began to talk about it very
early in Decepber.
Twas a very serious matter to US
children, remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestons 70 each other,
For by nothing cheap or tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be d gift Of beauty, fit
to symbolic her ways;
It must represent The sweetness and
the love that marked her days.
II must be the best our money all
combined had the power to bay,
And be something that she longed
for, nothing else would satisfy.
Then it mattered not the token once
the purchase had been made.
1t was struggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid.
And we placed nor present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day.
And we smothered her with kisses
and I'VE laughed her tears away.
1t never comes to Christmas but I
think about the times
We used to save our pennies ard
Z our nickels and our dimes;
And the only folks l envy are the
sisters and the brothers
Who still have the precious privilege
of buying for their mothers.

The Association Of Life Insurance.
Presidents is an organization coq-
prising practically al the companies
which carry the life insurance Of
the United States--and the United
States, with less than one-ffteenth
Of the worlds population, now has
more life insurance in force than
all the rest Of the world. This ASSOC
citation had a meeting in New York
the other day, and in canvassing
the conditions Of their business,
had considerable to say about the
habits Of the people as affected by
the popular protest against The
high cost of living.
The prevailing opinion seems to
have been that the protest ought
to work. to the advantage of the
life insuring business by promoting
palmer living. Mr.. Day declared
the life insurance companies can
not view with indifference "the
great modern American sin of ex-
travagance," urging that it&is their
duty to make an extra and perma-
nent effort "to check the extraor-
binary wastefulness of our people"
Mr.. Rittenhouse devoted his ad-
dress to, the deterioration of Amer
leans as effected by this manner
of living, illustrated by the fact
that one in every thirteen of the
100000 persons annually exam
ned for life insurance is rejected.
According to him the composite
physical American of today looks
smooth, pink and healthy. He is a
good liver. He has no time to
waste. His average age at death
is about forty years. lie is trying,
with the aid of new knowledge and
inventions, to crowd the exper-
fences of two life times into one.
/
He is having some success, but the
strain is telling on him. His. diges-
tive. organs have been given so
many new and arduous duties to
which they were not trained that
they are showing signs of rebellion.
He is seriously overstraining his
heart, arteries, kidneys, nerves and
digestion, as the rapidly increasing
death-rate shows.
''The evil effects Of his physical
inactivity" Mr. Rittenhouse COM
plains, shave been greatly aggra-
waited by his deadly excuses and
errors in eating and drinking. There
is no burden too great for him to
put upon his digestive system.
With every pound he gains of ex-
cess fat, his chances for short
ened life increase. He should note
the insurance records, which show
that with those, above age 40, hav-
ing fifteen to eighty pounds over
weight, the excess death rate
ranges from Q per cent. to IS per
cent. above the average of all
policy-holders combined. With
statistical and other facts before
us, it seems reasonable to assume
that the power of our people TO
resist fatigue and the physical
stress of modern civilization is de-
clining rather than advancing"
DIR. Tanner, who demonstrated
the possibility of living forty days
without eating, may not have

reform of our methods of living,
but in the opinions of those who
are having most to say on the sub
ject just now, that reform lies in

HaWaii's Own Painter Display.
ing Many Admirable New
CanvaSSeS

Admirers OF Hawaifs own painter,
ID. Howard Hitchcock-and they are
many In the islands, residents and Wis
itors-will find in his latest work a
new and strikingIy attractive quality,
elusive of description and yet perfect
~ tangible to those who have seen his
canyases from year to year.
Ii is kind of gripping solidity, a
frmness of texture, that seems to be
the product OF a more forceful han
ding of the physical detail of painting
and of broader sweep of color vision.
The change is more in color than in
line, and in the firm surety with which
color is transferred from palette to
canvas.
= Mr.. Hitchcock is showing this week
both new and old paintings at his stu
did,. Collins bSilding, Fort street, next
to Cunha's music store. From 8 a. m.
to ! p. m. and from 1880 to 10 he is in
his studio to receive visitors. And
there are many visitors, for q Hitch
cock exhibition is never less than a
treat TO Honolulans..
That he has caught new factor in
good painting is the belief of Mr..
Hitchcock himself given with a frank
modesty which Kaglow also with the

much of it to new mechanical meth
DDS, such as a more generous use of
the paint-tube, but the obsarver-the
layman at least-inevitably gets the
impression that Mr. Hitchcock's vision
is steadily broadening and he is see-
ing in larger, finer, truer perspective
than ever before. -
This exhibition it might be
called his semi-annual display, for the
last was nearly six months ago at the
University Club-consists of about 40
canvases. AS one enters his studio,
the attention first of all is arrested by
a sweeping reproduction of Waimea
canyon. Here the impression of new
growth is gained at once, particularly

In these beaches Mr.. Hitchcock has
caught the glare of the sub-tropic sun

cent blue-gray shadow upon this sand,
in a remarkably forceful way. The
contrast of Swallowed sand, bit of

edge, is not only charming in effect
but authoritative in treatment.

striking handling of the green hues
