LEADS TO ODD RELATIONSHIP

The very old custom Of legal adoption
in the Hawaiian islands, which originated
when there were many tribes often at war
with one another, was intended to bring
peace among them. The cause has long
since disappeared, but the custom still per-
sists When child is spoken for" by
some relative or friend, the little baby, as
soon as it can leave its own mother, will
be given to the foster mother, and will be
regarded as a sacred trust. A Youths
Companion contributor tells of one woman
who was the mother of eight children,
seven Of whom had been adopted by
friends. When she was asked why she
gave them away, she replied sadly: ut
is superstition, know, but if they are
asked for and l refuse fear some-harm
might come to them" The poor soul let
them, go because she loved them so much.
The custom leads to very amusing COM
plications. One of the native princesses
now living has given her baby to her own
mother. The little girl is legally adopted,
and therefore has become the grand
mothers daughter.-Ex.

LITTLE THINGS BRING FORTUNE

It's the little things that count the big
gest, after all: the little things that others
overlook. That is what Mr.. Statler, he Of
the hotels of his name at Detroit, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Saint Louis and New York,
has discovered. He it was who put
wooden panels in the transoms Of bed
rooms so that the hall light won't shine in
at night. It was his idea to shove the
morning paper under your door with
"Good morning. This is your paper;
with the compliments Of the Hotel Statler"
on it. 'i.i0a no y tte.ttl aiif ' 'H}f"1
He it was who stopped the practice of
charging more for a newspaper on his
hotel news stands than the price on the
street. He it was who saw a woman
funbling to get her key into the key hole
Of her room and ordered all the keyholes
changed so that they would be above the
knob and not below in the shadow. 4el
His idea it was to have ice water in
spigots in rooms, since he saw that folks
didn't like the tip that Invariably goes to
the boy who brings you ice water. He it
was who saw that people liked to sit with
their arms hooked across the backs of their
chairs between courses while they were
eating, and he ordered that all the chairs
in his dining rooms be made low and
without knobs on the top. He it was who
saw that men didn't need to be brushed
Off when they went to wash their hands
in the washroom and had sign put up:
"The attendants in this room are in
structed to give no service unless it is asked
for:3 and in every room in his hotels you
will find this motto: mo employee Of this
hotel is allowed the privilege Of arguing
with a guest."-Ex. pa'@ 3is"a} >cd

LICORICE

Licorioe is one of the oldest confections
in the world and the flavor which the boys
and girls of today like so well was en-
joyed by children three thousand years
ago. The greater part of black licorice
is derived from Spain, where it is made
from the juice of the plant and mixed
with starch to prevent it from melting in
hot weather. The icorice plant is shrub
that attains height of three feet and it
grows, wild where its roots reach the
water. 1t Aourishes especially on the banks
of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers where
was one of the earliest civilizations in the
world-AEx. j4F-5 <idg "a ,5gfics ,ssr, ,5s

she has been neglected while he fig ured his income tax, the husband flies for the smelling salts and mur- murs:
 Good heavens. what a fright cry ing does paaxel a womsn."
 The tears of a woman in the busir ness world are an impertinence, whether she knows it or not, whether she gains by it or not. Probably the more a business girl gains by her weeping, at first. the more she has just as surely as the married matron does.
 Only in his sentimental youth docs man quote:
 Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean!" when he considers the tears of a woman. A little later in life he knows very well that a wo- mans tears mean and he dreads them as love's deadliest weapon.
 Experience teaches him to distir. guish between the cries of temper, distress, reproaeh, allurement, irri- tability, hysteria and repentance. But in spite of all this wisdom, if the girl he loves cries with little discretion. he generally permits her tears to accomplish their intended purpose and says nothing. But if the feminine role is over l acted or enacted too often, the man suddenly loses interest. And what is more fatal to love?
