POST MORTEM THOUGHTS

The other day, old Bill Hicks died,-as anybody might do.
Ihey say our loss was old Bills gain, from the troubles that he
went through. L knowed him for nearly fifty years an so fur
as | ever heard, nobody lent him a hepin' hand, or give him a
pleasant word. -.
I've often thought that Bill might feel, as l watched him
from day to day,-that he was a sort of a surplus here, an
nightly IN the way. =. An l half surmised, from his weary
look, an the sadness about his face, that it wouldn't matter eff
ne was took, an sent to some other place..
But-we buried old Bill the other day, an YOU ort TO have
saw the crowd! They brought him flowers an honied words,
an some OF us cried,-out loud. It's funny we never learnt
1T before, an I'm wonderin' about it still-that none of us know
ed to his dyin' day, how much we loved old Bill!

PERU STILL FIGHTING
 FOR LOST PROVINCES
Forty Year Old Scrap With Chile Warns With
 Age.

Lima, Oct 1.-The forty-year-oId dispute between Chile and Peru has been aired again in the newspapers here following reports received from Chile to the effect that country desires to liquidate the Tacna and Africa question by direct settlement" with her northern neighbor. Peru, how ever, favors arbitration, in the opin- ion of the Lima press.
 Fl Comercio in a lengthy editorial on the issue asserts that Peru has a1- tion and that the several attempts that have been made to reach direct settlement have resulted in absolute fiaScOs." The paper thinks that di- rect settlements between peoples of unequal military strength signify the triumph of the interests of the strong CT while arbitration never can be en- trely favorable to one of the par tieS.''
 Ell Tempo, generally regarded as the semi-officia1 organ, also expresses disp1easure over reports of proposals to reach a solution of the controversy by means of direct negotiations" It favors arbitration This paper charges that Chile now wishes to hold the much discussed plebiscite after the detained provinces have been through a process of 'Chileanizat1on' during the past ten years
 The treaty of Ancon, concluded be- tween Chile and Peru in 1884, pro- vided for a plebiscite ten years later to determine the definite ownership of the provinces of Tacna and Africa, but this has never been held owi ing to the failure of the two countries to reach an agreement over the basis on which the vote would be taken
 Bolivia endeavored to submit the Tacna-Arica dispute to the League of Nations Assembly in it's present SeS- sion, but Chile demurred and the as- semb1y heSitated to undertake the SO Iution of the question because IT might involve the Monroe Doctrine It was then proposed to refer to commission of the league the ques- ton whether the assembly was com petent to decide the issue

 Proctor is a thin old man of middle height with short white hair, a white 1nustache and thin, slightly forid face. When asked at the hspital if he re- membered Lincoln and his death, he said:
 "OfL yes. indeed. He died in my room- That is quite true. l stayed there all night and was there when he died"
 He thought hard on the subject to reconect the details but found it hard to do- He could not recall the names of the others in the room, when Mr. Lincoln died
 MT. Daily, Proctor's friend. said that 20 years ago when his mind was entirely clear, Proctor had told him the entire story He was employed in the War Department as a civilian clerk and shared his room with a young army officer. He was IT years of age at that time.
 Proctor's whereabouts became known when a local sculptor, James S. Kelly was led to him by Timothy Daily. the sculptor was looking for information about LfncoIn's death bed scene.

DROP IN SUGAR
 HITS HAWAII HARD

Honolulu, T. H. Oct. 1.-The tre- mendous effect that the condition of the worlds sugar bowl has upon the life of the Hawaiian Islands was eX- emplified here recently when the United States customs officials an nounced that there had been a de- crease of $14,553,124 in the terri tory's exports to the mainland United States during the fiscal year ending June 30, last, as compared with the exports of the previous fiscal year.
 Only the fact that the value of exported canned pineapp1es increased by nearly s11, 100000 kept the figures from falling much lower, as they re- flected the fall in price of raw sugar from its peak price of 23.56 cents per pound in 1920, to it's present price of less than five cents pound. The decline in the value of exported raw sugar during 1921 was $25,372, 526 under 1920, the respective figure be- ing s91.04s,269 and SIC, ,420,795.
 The total exports were $127.692,- S79, compared with $142, ,246,003 for 1920 and S93,01S.4O4 for 1919.
