With a view towards improving the
parks of Honolulu both In beauty and
usefulness to the public, the park

ors, consisting Of Ben Hollinger. chair
man; Lester Petrie and William AHA,

Visory board, visited Kapiolani park

fered their services to. the city free,
suggested several improvements to
be discussed later at meeting of the

things suggested for Kapiolani park
was the planting OF various kinds Of
Towering plants and bushes, such as
the hibiscus, along the sides Of the
paths and roads. .< =
At Kaimuh the plan Of the park
committee to plant the park to grass
and extend the rustic wall entirely

TO Mr.. AND MRS. ROBERT LEW
Frs ON THE OCCASION OF
THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING

Sweetheart" he said, that day so
long ago.
Where life may lead, even do not

Nor know I of the weather.
IF I might say, all clear shall be the
sky"
She smiled, mo matter where the
path may lie,

Sweetheart" he said, when many a
mile had gone,
And the calm radiance Of the win,
ter morn
Above old Tantalus shining;
''The path was rough in spots, but
smooth withal,
"And happiness to US ever did befall,
Beyond our hearts divining."
"And yet, from i'll, it's said, comes
sometimes good,
$50 have found as we together stood
Through storms and sunny weather"
She smiled, What matter now tho
path we've trod,
That led US here and there abroad,
THAT we have walked together"

, The woman who Is trying to i'm
prove her personal appearance. to
make herself more attractive to
others, and to make life happier
for her own self, should make this
rule Of beauty sleep one Of the first
to follow. Only women already
too fat, or gaining flesh too rapid
~, should cut down on their hours
OF rest.
You should-unless as I said,
you are too fat-not only sleep the
required eight hours, but try to
sleep them as beautifully as pos
sible. To explain:
Sleep on the back or the right
side-this keeps undue pressure
from the heart. If you are troubled
with indigestion, lying fat on the
stomach viii relieve it, but the
habit Of sleeping this way is bad,

innocent bystander. What are other
peoples rights compared to Bobby
wanting to eat his banana right then
and there? Nothing to her.
The selfishness of mothers makes
visit. from a woman with children
more devastating than a plague OF
the seven years locusts. You have
antique mahogany that is the apple
Of your eye. Mother never lifts her
hand to stay little Bobby when he
takes a pin and scratches his name
upon the polished top Of your most
cherished table. Instead, mother calls
your attention to what a good hand
he is going to write. IL Bobby wants
to make wagon wheels out Of your
grand opera photograph. records,
mother encourages him to develop
his inventive faculty that way, and
IL little Mary desires to play dolls
with your Tanagra statuettes, mother
calmly hands them down to her.
And If you object to having your
property destroyed by a lot Of little
vandals, mother thinks you are sell
fish old crank not TO be willing to
sacrifice your possessions for the
amusement Of her darlings. She can't
rise to the point Of view Of your hay
ing a right to your own things II her
children want them.
And II Is amusing, and also tragic,
to note how this mother selfishness
distorts q woman's sense Of justice
when she comes to deal with one of
the most important problems in her
life-that of her relationship with the
men and women her daughters and
sons marry. Mother holds two radi.
cally different codes as to the duties
of husbands and wives as they affect
her own offspring.
She believes that it is the duty Of
her daughters husband to toll day and
night to supply her Mamie with all
the extrayagances she Graves, and to
generally make himself door mat
before her. She thinks that 1t is a
terrible imposition for NAMES hus-
band to expect Mamie to do her own
she feels so inclined, or to practise
any thrift or economy, or do anything
that interferes with her pleasure. She
thinks the city is too hot for Mamie
In the summer and too cold in the
winter and that the Maine coast or
Palm Beach is her befitting habitat in
Indictment weather.
But mother thinks the city pleas
ant at all seasons for Johns wife.
Johns wife should economic by do
ing her own cooking and sewing and
baby tending, and why on earth
should she consider that she's got q
right to spend his money by gadding
around instead Of laying at home |
and making her husband comfortable
Is something Johns mother will

never, never be able to understand.
The worst phase Of mother selfish
ness, however, shows itself in the abb
solute heartlessness women exhibit
towards those whom their children
marry. A woman will shut her lips
upon the secret Of her child's intirm-
ity that absolutely units him, or her,
for marriage, and let the wedding go
on, although she knows that the mar
rage will wreck the life Of the unfor'
tunate and innocent man or girl who
is getting her defective daughter or
son.
Murder is a small crime compared
to this, yet women who esteem them
selves good Christian woman, and who
are examples in the community, COM
NIT this inhuman cruelty without
even a pang of remorse.
Not long ago, Just such a case fell
under my observation. A beautiful
and noble young girl, the darling OF
her own parents, was invited to make
a visit In the home of woman who
was a leader in the church and fore
most in all good works and phtlan-
thropy in her own. The woman's son,
an utterly worthless, drunken, i'm
moral loafer, with a past as black as
sin could make 1t, fell in love with
this pure young girl.
The mother urged On the suit In
every possible way, and with such
good result that the unsophisticated
girl married the moral leper. Not one
word of warning did this mother say
to the girl concerning the pit that
she was laundering into unawares.
Not once did she make a single revel-
alton Of her sons vile history. She
said nothing Of the sanitariums and
cures that he had been in and out
of for years.
Nor did the mother consider 1t her
duty to tell the girls parents Of the
sort of a man that their daughter was
about to marry, though she knew that
the marriage was bound to bring mis-
cry to the girl and break her par
ents' hearts. She even took steps to
keep them from finding out the true
character of her son.
you knew your son was not fit to
marry anybody" someone said to this
woman. How could you sacrifice that
innocent girl to him?"
II thought perhaps that marriage
might save him. II was a chance and
I took IT," replied the mother, with
q cynical indifference to everything
but her own child's good.
Il is mothers inhumanity to other
mothers children that makes count.

CHIEF REYNOLDS MURDERED.

James W. Reynolds, the popular and
efficient superintendent of the New
Orleans police force, was shot and IN
stantly killed in his Office on Thurs
day morning of last week by Terrence
Mullen, a policeman who had been
suspended from duty on account OF
erratic actions which seemed to in
dictate a return of mental alteration
that had led to his incarceration III
the Louisiana Retreat some time ago.
In the excitement and lndlscrlml-
nate shooting following the assasslna-
ton and the attempt Of the murderer
to escape, Capt. Garry Mullen recelv-
ed three bullet wounds and died SIX
DAYS afterwards, but the coroner Is OF
the opinion that the immediate cause
of his death was Bright's disease, az
none of the bullets struck vital or
gan. Capt Mullen was evidently mis-
taken for the assassin, who Is ms
nephew and bears the same family
name.
Geo. W. Vandevoort, secretary to
Superintendent Reynolds, was shot
in the head by the crazed policeman
but seems on the road to recovery
Patrolman Mullen was arrested Just
outside the criminal court building IN
which the shooting took place ana mas
entered plea of guilty. He was aP-
parently cool and collected when
taken, and his pulse was normal
condition that would seem TO be IN
dicative Of mental arrangement, since
anv sane and normal man, however
brave and phlegmatic, would be sure
to show some signs of mental ana
nhysical excitement under such Gil
cumstances.
The death Of Superintendent Key
nolds is deeply regretted by all the
oeople of New Orleans and by large
circle of friends outside of that city.
He was born and reared IN Alglefs'
where his close friend and nelgnnot,
Mavor Behrman, also resides. Jim
REYNOLDS, as he was atfectonate-
" called by his intimates, worked nm
self I'D from the bottom rung OF the
notice ladder and made good at every
step in the ascent. He leaves a WldoW
and two daughters whose sad bereaVe-
ment excites universal pubic SYM
pathy. ao,,.
The New Orleans commission coua-
ell has unanimously elected Frank FL
Mooney, superintendent of terminals
in that city for the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, to succeed the
murdered police chief, and the cho!ee
is warmly commended by the es1tlre
press and all classes of the people.
