FESTIVAL TIME IN HONOLULU

Honolulu on Christmas eve consoles her.
self for the lack of snow and other tradi-
tional Yuletide fxings with what paper
calls "a conglomerate festivity impossible
of counterpart anywhere else in the world"
With an abandonment of hilarity equaled
only by the pure incongruity of the thing,
Americans, japanese, Englishme9, Filipi-
nos Portuguese, Koreans, soldiers, sailors
and civilian men, women and children,
took part in the pageant of the streets,
throwing confetti and lighting 6recrackers.
"After all, it is the incongruity that
makes the celebration of Christmas in
Honolulu unique. Here in the melting pot
of the Pacific, where those who melt are
matched by those who resist the alchemy,
all nations of the earth meet in common
observance"
Followers of Buddha and Confucius take
part in the Christian festival with zest,
just as Christians there help to celebrate
the religious holidays of others. But this
is a strange Christmas picture: "Horns
were everywhere, frecrackers snapped and
scattered and above the din at times could
be heard the plaintive tone of Hawaii's
ukelele and the steel guitar"

THE CHRISTMAS FEEL

They's kind o'feel in the air to me,
When Christmas time:sets in;
That's about as much O. mystery
AS ever I've run ag'in!
Fer instance, now while I gain in weight
An general health, swear
Theys goneness somer's can't just state
A kind O. feel in the air.
They's feel in the Christmas air goes
right
To spot where a man lives at
1t gives feller appetite
They amt no doubt about that!
And yet they,s somepin-I don't know
what
That follers me here and there,
And ha'nts and worries, and spares me not,
A kind O. feel in the air.
Theys a feel, as say, in the air that's jest
AS touchingly sad as sweet!
In the same ra-sho as | feel the best
And am spryest on my feet.
Theys allus kind O sort O. ache
That l can't locate nowhere;
But it comes with Christmas and no mis-
take!
A kind O. feel in the air.
Is it the racket the children raise3
Why no! God bless 'em, no!
Is it the eyes and the cheeks abaze-
Like my own wuz, long ago?
Is it the bleat O the whistle, and beat
Of the little toy drum and bare
O. the horn? No! 1t is jest the sweet
The sad sweet feel in the air.

LAUGH 1T OFF

Are you worsted in fight?
Are you cheated of your right?
Laugh it off.
Don't make tragedy of tri1es,
Don't shoot butterflies with rifles
Laugh it off.
Does your work get into kinks?
Are you near all sorts of Drinks?
Laugh it off.
If its sanity you're after
There's no recipe like laughter.
Laugh it off.

BEAUTY COMES BEFORE ART
Average Citizen 10 Not a Student OF
What the Interior Decorator
Puts EIFst.

While there undoubtedly is an in
stnctive love for the beautiful in art
and nature, the average man or wom-
an does not greatly interest himself
or herself In matters of art, says a
writer in an Eastern journal. They
do not study such subjects or seek
information unless they become in
terested through some prime motive.
Once there is created an interest in
and a desire for better things, how
ever, they put forth every effort to
learn more of those things that tend
to beautify the home.
In most cases this interest can be
aroused effectively through eye ap-
peal. People must see things with
their eyes. Comparatively few per-
sons reason with their minds alone.
Imagination and construction by men
tai process is not common attribute.
That is one Of the reasons why the
interior decorator is called upon by
people who can afford to employ such
expert service.
Incidentally, 1t has been aptly said
that If the average interior decorator
would descend from the high horse of
lofty ideals and absurd fallacy Of so
called "class" and let people know he
can count dollars In hundreds as well
as in thousands, there would be ire
mendous impulse and increase Of real
usefulness in this honorable profess

A Discrepancy.

Honey and Dear were married and
went to visit Honey's parents in lit
tie country town for their honeymoon.
When Sunday came they went to
church-of course. Honey was not
particularly interested in the services,
but he managed to stay awake. When
the collection baskets started around
he reached into his pocket and brought
forth a nice, new, bright, shiny penny.
Dear caught glimpse of 1t.
"Oh, Honey, was 1t So you put inT'
"Yes, Dear" Honey answered, and
congratulated himself on establishing
a reputation for generosity so cheaply.
Just before the benedictlon the parson
arose and announced:
"The collection for the morning to-
tailed $4.37."
Married life was off to flying start.

CURIOUS OLD GHOST STORIES
Napoleon's Visit to His Mother One
Of Many That Are Without AIDE
quate Explanation.

Two curious ghost stories connected
with Napoleon's death a century ago
at st. Helena are told. The first was
the emperor's vision Of his dead wife,
Josephine. Some days before his own
death he told Montholon, who was one
Of his suite: II have just seen my dear
Josephine, but she would not embrace
me she tore herself away when tried
to take her in my arms. She sat over
there, where I thought saw her yes
terday. She has not changed. always
the same, always entirely devoted to
me. She told me that we were about
to meet once more, never to part
again." It was noted that her name
was the last word he uttered when he
died
The second, which is even stranger,
is an account of a person closely re-
sembling Napoleon in appearance and
gesture who visited Napoleon's moth
er in Rome about the very hour Of the
day when he died in st. Helena. The
stranger spoke of Napoleon to her as
If he had Just quilted him, and added:
"At this moment he is delivered from
his sufferings; he is happy"
Napoleon's mother at once spoke to
those about her Of this visitor who
was seen by three other persons in her
palace, and search was made In Rome
for anyone resembling him, without re-
suit. She herself was convinced that
1t was the wrath Of Napoleon. There
was nothing terrifying in the vislon-if

declared that the mysterious person

MANY REASONS FOR FAILURE
Average Man Would Do Well to Con-
slider Whether His Faults Are
In This List.

Men fail for various reasons, little
and big.
Most men fail because they are
lazy.
To be lazy means-to be late, to be
aovenly, to be a poor economist of
time, to shirk responsibility.
1t means to say of anything that is
clamOring to be done: mo, I'm not
going to do that, because 1t isn't my
work"
Laziness is at the back Of most of
the lesser reasons for failure. The
minor causes are derivatives from
that one great major cause.
1t Is so easy to dream in the sun
and let the world go by; to dawdle
and procrastlnate, till one wakes up
too late.
Late and lazy are, in fact, first
cousins.
II you are late, you waste other
peoples time as well as your own.
Lazy people have all the time there
Is, and yet they haven't time to be po-
lite. They dlsdain the forms Of cere-
mony that sweeten life.
They are grouchy, surly, gruff. 1t
pains them to be pleasant, to say
thanks and to smile.
To be deferential is not to be SER
vile. 1t is merely to be decently re-
spectful.
The biggest men are the most unas-
suming and the most unpresuming.
1t is the Insignificant people who
fluff themselves up with false and
foolish pride and are forever Grating.
from the flimsy and slippery platform
Of their own touchy dignity.
Failure is generally elective. 1t
rests with the man himself to decide
whether he cares enough for success
to pay the price.-Philadelphia Pub

REMOVING Tattoo Marks.

A correspondent of the Chemical
News says that tattoo marks will dis
appear by first being well rubbed with
n salve Of pure acetIc acid and lard,
then with solution of potash, and
finally with hydrochloric acid.
These marks are also said to be re-
moved by the application of saliclllc
acid and glycerln. A compress is APP
piled over the paste, and the whole
secured with sticking plaster. After
eight days the paste is taken Off, the
dead skin removed, and the applica-
tion of the paste repeated Gas rule
about three tlmes). The simplest and
easiest method Of removing tattoo Is
said to be that of tattooing over the
marks with pure milk.

April War Month for United States.

April War Month for United States.
In American history every one Of
our important wars, with one excep-
ton, began In April. The exception
was the War of 1S12-and many his
torians regard that not as a separate
war but as continuation Of the War
Of Independence. The War of 1872
was declared In June.
The first of our great wars, the
Revolutionary war, or War for hide
pendence, began with the fighting at
Lexington and Concord, Mass, April
10, 1776. War against Mexico was
declared April "a, 1S46, and the Civil
war began with the firing of the first
gun against Fort Sumter, April IL,
1861.
War against Spain was declared
April "a, 1898. The participation of
the United States in the World war
dates from April 9. 1917. when con-
gress declared war against Germany.

LAWYERS OF WORLD
 MEET IN CHINA TO :. PROMOTE JUSTICE

Cincinnati, Sept. 23-The second an nua1 conference of the International Bar Association, which is to be held in Picking, China, Oct 24 to 26, will institute the beginnings of an attempt to promote the cause of uniform jus tice in the world and so ultimately of international peace. according to pr. R. Masujima of Tokyo, it's presi- dent
 pr. Masujina is now in America, after attending the recent convention of the American Bar Association itself with the international organ ization and lawyers of the American bar were invited to participate in it's conferences. He will also attend the Canadian Bar Association meet ing before returning to Japan.
 The first meeting of the Interna- tional Bar Association was held last fined to be ''to promote justice by the cooperation of the members of the bar throughout the world" Its ul- innate aspiration, pr. Masujima said, was to obtain permanent world peace by the power of a comonly accept ed standard of justice.
 The principal business before this years convention will be a conference tice, which, according to Dr. Ma sujima, differ widely in different coun- tries, despite the fact that the world has seen but two systems of 5uris- prudence. the civil law and the com mon law.
 The international association, he said. should begin its work in Amer1- ca and Europe where the common law whfc1, had inaugurated democracy, was upheld.
 asIn our opinion. the Internationai Bar Association is an indispensable auxiliary of every political enter prise of which the League of Nations is an example, ''Dr. Masujima said, ssJ+ is an instrument to bring nations together in better understanding. par ticularly the East and the West, whose modes of thought are totally
