HAUNTING MUSIC IS THE
 REQUIEM OF DYING RACE

HONOLULU, T. H.-The plaintive, music of Hawaii is the re- quiem of dying race.
 The pure-blood Hawaiins, once the and noblest nation of Poly nesia, even now magnificent of physique and keen of mind, are dying out.
 Statistics showing the birth and death rates in the Territory of Hawaii for one year, just published by the bureau of vital statistics of the territorial board of health, tells the story of one of the worlds tragedies, the doom of a once splendid race.
 It is estimated that there are 22,0OC pure-blood Hawaiians in the territory For the twelve-month period there were 676 births among them, rate per 1000 of 3073, not far below the average for all races, 39.05, but there were 1910 deaths, a rate of 45.91 against an average of 17.53, a net loss in population of 394, an annual de crease of 15.18 per cent.
 Those mathematically inclined car figure out with reasonable certainty the year when the pure Hawaiian race will have ceased to exist.

who is one of the noted women of southwestern Alaska, enjoys the rep utation of being one of the best dog mushers in the territory. A sixty mile trip in one day is considered an ordinary achievement by her. While the railroad was building into Anchor age from Seward she freighted be- tween the ends of steel. A mail car rier on one occasion staggered into her cabin, completely exhausted, hav- ing frozen his feet. After rubbing the frost out of his frozen limbs, she tucked him into some blankets, then hooked on her own dogs and took the mail through to the end of the relay in the dead of night-a distance of more than four miles. On the long
 trail she is the equal of any male mushed, and often continues to drive when many "hole up" for the winter.

A Gentleman Wanted

MT. Bully was cross-examining a downtrodden witness.
 "Now, sir," he thundered, "you have stated under oath that this man had the appearance of a gentleman! Please tell the jury how gentleman looks-in your estimation!"
 "Well-er-a gentleman looks like era err" stammered the poor con- fused witness.
 With unmerciful sarcasm the coun- sel plunged to the attack again.
 " Don't want any of your 'ers,' and remember you are on oath! Can you see anybody in the court who looks like gentleman"
 The witness's eyes for. the first time showed anger, and the blared out:
 "Stand out of the way and then per haps I can. You're not transparent" Kansas City Star.

THE LIMIT OF IMPATIENCE

When Nehemiah Stone died rich, as riches go in the mountains of Tennes- see, his two sons, John and William, employed. lawyer to settle up the estateand divide the money equally between them. The attorney found it necessary to indulge in a lot of liti- gation which dragged through sev- eral terms of court. At last, the brothers got tired of making the jour- ney from the top of the mountain down to the county seat and urged the lawyer to bring things to head.
 "All right, boys," he promised them At the next term you'll get your money" ..
 At the time set, in spite of all the lawyer could do, the case was again continued.
 "Well, John," said William, "I'n all-fired sorry we got to make another trip down here; but our lawyer here done all he could. We got to be patient" g....
 q don't know about that!" growlet John. Seems to me we'll spend oul mortal lives running up and dow1 them mountains. Pm tired of it.

This word was received here today, with the brief information that the plucky woman had made a thorough trip of investigation throughout the "Big Number" tribes-human flesh eaters-in the New Hebrides.
 On all of her trips Mrs. Johnson Is accompanied by her pet ape, which she acquired several years ago on an exploring expedition in Australia. Mrs. Johnson is the only white woman on record who has ever visited the man-eating tribes.
 One of the few women guides in America is young lady connected with the Colorado bureau of mines. Deeply versed in the geology and botany of the Glacier Park region, Miss Hazel M. Schmall describes her work as mature guiding" From the time she could climb onto her white Arabian horse at Ward, Colorado, where her parents live, Miss Schmall has taken deep interest in this region with it's four glaciers, it's scar led expanses of gleaming ice, It's noun tain peaks, it's jewel-like lakes, it's streams, and its vegetation. Her interest and knowledge of the region have been supplemented by wide uni. versity training and practical guid. ing. She is particularly interested to keep the forests and wild flowers in their native state, for with their dis. appearance she says the country would become an arid waste instead of one of the most beautiful and interesting spots in the world. She maintains that there is in the park fifth gla. cier, still unnamed, which at first she suspected was only bed of snow anc ice, high up in the crags near Isabe Glacier. Powerful glasses have since identified it as a glacier, though smaller than the others. She is the authority for the statement that Rec Rock Lake in the Colorado Nationa Forest is one of the most interesting and beautiful lakes in the world be cause of its profuseness of botanica specimens. She says no other lake anywhere has so many varieties on its banks. She will conduct parties through the Glacier Park region, but she is the declared enemy of an! movement to commercialize the dis

DEATH OF A WESTERN PIONEER

Although John c. Jones was six feet tall, he weighed only one hundred pounds. Consequently he earned the nickname of "Flapjack". He was a famous figure of the early West, and died at Los Angeles, California, re- gently, at the age of seventy-five. He was a soldier in the Federal army at the age of fifteen and fought through the Civil War. After the war he was a stage driver at Butte, Montana. Some time ago he entered the Ma tional Soldiers Home, at Sawtelle, California. But W. A. Clark, IT,, who is interested in Civil War veterans from Montana, took him to his home.

Nature and life were meant to en-

the things of the earth.
AS I looked out of my car window
the other day, noticed workmen
building great embankment by filling

tons of old tin cans and rubbish of

purposes-now finding themselves a
part of new constructor, soon to
serve it's useful purpose.
Nothing can ever be destroyed.
The books on my table were once
agents of shelter, fertilization and puri-

is fine for the first offense, impris-
onmeft for the second, and the third
time the offender is cured-he is exc
cuted.
The main difficulty in the drug sit
uaton is that Japan snaaggles opium
and morphine thru Shantung. China
claims that that is one reason why
Japan wants to hold the province, and
this smuggling hampers the govern

out the drug habit.
The other big advance is the new
alphabet which replaces the old 10, 900
characters of the Chinese written Ian
guage. Mr.. Chan points out that this
written language was like the old
Egyptian hieroglyphics. and that a
sign like two legs running represents
man. Another like a figure with
arms that seems to he sitting down is
the symbol for woman-she could
not run. The sign for a COW looks
like two horns and a tail; and a flat
back, long tail. four legs, represents a
horse.

papers are being printed in the new
system.
This alphabet was a body blow to
the old Chinese tradition of reverence
for the ways of ones ancestors The
filial Chinese had always accepted the
tradition that one must not disgrace
these ancestors by improving on the
mode of life bequeathed by them. But
ancestors, like everything else, are be-
ginning to be regarded from a
twentieth century standpoint in China.

PATIENCE.
Time teaches US a lot OF things
In earlier years when we were young,
The angry and the hasty tongue
Produced a rounnd of chickering's.
And many a trifling fault we made
Into a sin Of scarlet shade.
The little disappointments then
By selfish eyes were magnified,
We could not put our whins aside,
Lost joys might never come again,
And many bitter days and nights
Were spent in battling for our rights.
Then we were quick to take offense,
One careless word upon our ears
Brought hatred and flood Of tears;
Young people have no better sense
And we were young and did net know
Enough to let the trff1es 60
But Time has taught US many things.
Where once we quarreled, now we smile
We've learned that angers not worth
while
And found the peace witch patience brings
Now. sharing all its joys and woes.

THE PASSING OF MIR. GuETTEE..

THE PASSING OF MR. GUETTEI.
The news of the sudden death of
Henry A. Guettel came as a surprise
was not personally known to a large
number of our citizens. his connection
with one of the oldest business firms
of the city made him seem a part Of
the community.
The estimate in which he was held
in Kansas City, where he made his
home, is indicated in the following
from the Times:
The news of the death of Henry A.
Guettel, which reached Kansas City
yesterday from Vermont, was a dis
tinct shock to every business man and
to every person in the city who knew
Mr.. Guettel.
For thirty years he has been a
factor in the business life of the city.
He has been closely identified not only
with its business development, but
with its civic ambitions and purposes
In every relation in which he was
known to the people and to his friends,
whether business or social, Mr.. Guettel
held the very highest place in their
respect. He was honest and he was
square. He was a good business man,
but he had something more than
business enterprise. He had the civic
vision that enabled him to correctly
discern the relationship between the
business life and the social needs of a
big city.
The circumstances of his death only
add to the genuine sorrow and depth
of sympathy which the city will feel
because of his passing. Not only was
the death attack wholly unexpected,
but it came to him so greatly out of
time. He still was a young man in
the sense of the possibilities of bust
ness accomplishment and usefulness.
The loss of Henry Guettel is a severe
loss to Kansas City.
