 Before the widow of Nathaniel Hawthorne gave her husbands Note Books to the world she edited them in the interest of prunes, prisms and prudery This is pointed out by Professor Randall Stewart of Yale, who has just prepared unabridged and revised edition Mrs. Hawthorne changed devil of brunette" into mischief of a brunette" and quick k-tempered the devil' into very quick tempered" and "pantaloons" into trousers" and supper into tea time She made serious changes in tonng down cynicsm and disllusion in her illustrious husband
 Mrs. Hawthorne must thus take her place evil emnence with Mrs. Mark Twain. The two mid Victorian and Puritanca ladies put shackles on the free spirit of their husbands. The result? We'll there is story that Abraham Lincoln wanted to know the kind of liquor Grant got drunk on, so he could send a barrel to his other Generals.

 The head-clerk left the room without rejoinder. He went, un- willingly into the lobby and still more unwillingly into the hall. Mark had already closed the main doors behind him, and the clerk flumbling irritably with his sheaf of papers and disinclined to go out into the rawness of the October evening, turned back into the Bank.

 Marks feeling for Miss Roop at once rose from contempt to pure bathing. She babbled on, un- knowingly.
 Doesn't she look fascinating, too, in those new furs?".
 T didn't know Miss Tanner had any furs at all, new or old,' said Mark coldly It was characteris- tic of him, that, although pre- pared to snub Miss Roop as sav- agely as social anatom would let him, he did not anticipate for one moment that she would withdraw her offer to finish his totals. He lreached for his crutch and, as the head-clerk disappeared into the managers room, slid off his stool.

NEW DEAL IN NEW YORK INDICATED.

On the front page of The Empire yesterday ap- peared Associated Press picture of Gov. Lehman of New York and former Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt, soon to become President, and former Gov Alfred E Smith Democratic Presidential nominee in 1928. The picture has appeared in all the Eastern Associated Press papers that arrived in the last mail It is causing lot of comment It has suggested that these the thrse men who expected to set things right in New York State and City as well as to wield very important influence in the Nation by making the Democratic Party a more powerful instrument for good government The impression seems to be deep seated in New York that is the purpose of the Big Three" who clean ed up Tammany Leader Curry at the last Demo- cratic State Convention and made impossible the return of former Mayor James J. Walker to com plete the job next year by electng either former Gov. Smith former Mayor Mckee to be Mayor of New York In either case it is believed that A Smith will be the actual if not the titular head o Tammany.
 The Herald Tribune leading New York Repub lcan paper, commenting upon the association of th Big Three" at the inauguration of Gov Lehman said

 It was stated that MT. Smith, who spoke
 first did not touch upon the subject
 of local government, but his agreeable em-
 ployment of the phrase the forgotten man
 was interpreted approximately the ulti-
 mate in the direction of conciliatory ges-

 vets first use of that phrase last April
 which led to MT Smiths virulent attack
 upon him on the charge of demagoguery
 and drew the lines for the bitter battle at
 the Chicago convention.

Hawaii's Patriotism in War.
Honolulu Hawaii News.)

The late Franklin K Lane was quoted today by members of the Hawaii Legislative Commission in their argument that this American Territory is entitled to continued self-government, threatened by bills now pending before Congress
 In June 1918 Lane, then Secretary of the Inter- for, made official visit to Hawaii and travelled in all parts of the Territory Before going back to the mainland he delivered an address in Honolulu, in the course of which he said:
 I do not know of any better place to
 come to get a running start to get n-
 spred to the patriotism of our country
 than to this most mixed community. I
 frankly say to you Chat have been aston
 ished on my trip through these Islands to
 discover how early, how we'll how cer-
 tainly the most remote people, the children
 plantations and in the upper reaches of the
 grazing country, knew what the significance
 of this great war in which we are in
 volved.
 I frankly say to you that I have travelled throughout the country from New
 England to the Pacific Coast searching out
 those spots where there might be slack ness of sentiment, and there is no part of
 our country where the people whole know better why are at war or have
 any more purpose to win it than they do

 In his first public address after returning to the mainland, MT Lane said: Nowhere have I found in all my travels more intelligently patriotic and devoted people than our citizens of Hawaii,

Treasures Cast Into
Lake of Eternal Fire

Kilauea. pit of eternal fire, is one
of the sights of the Hawaiian islands,
and is considered one of the greatest
natural wonders of the world. The
circumference of the crater is more
than seven miles. The lake of fire
within is nearly twenty acres in ex-
tent. Automobiles carry visitors
right into the crater.
Hawaiians regard the volcano as
the throne of the goddess Pele. To
appease her anger, shown by erup-
tons, they cast their intimate treas
ures into the waves of burning lava.
Honolulu is on the island of Oahu.
The famous Diamond head, shaped
like crouching lion, marks the
eastern approach to the bay upon
which the city is built. Nearby is
Waikiki beach, with it's palms and
algeroba trees.
And there is the Pail, or precipice,
over which the islands traditional
hero, Kamekameha. hurled the van
quished host of Oahu to death in the
distant depths below. The precipice
is 1000 feet above sea level.

MARKETING

By 7. ]. Delohery

XMHILE Howard Blair, vegetable
w grower of Macedon, N. Y, was
sticking the shipping labels on 40 Of
the IT'S crates of lettuce he was ex-
pressing to a commission firm in
Washington, the train pulled out.
Holding the lettuce over until the next
afternoon was impossible. 1t would
spoil. So after bit of hard think
ing, Blair loaded the lettuce back on
his truck and drove to Rochester.
Retailers in Rochester gladly paid
him 81 crate for the lettuce. where
as the stuff he shipped to Washing
ton-135 cases-netted him but 500
after express charges had been de-
Quoted. Later he went back to
Rochester with potatoes whose quail
ity brought 10 to 10 cents a bushel
above the local shipping price.
While Mr.. Blair stumbled onto a
premium-paying market, the same
sort of an outlet can be developed by
most any producer who is willing to
grade his stuff for quality and use the
right kind of packages; Local retail
ers are always glad to buy of pro-
ducers. 1t keeps the money in the
locality and it increases the purchas-
ing power of the farmer.
Claude Strother was teaching agri-
culture in high school when survey
Of the markets in his section showed
that all of the potatoes and much of
the other vegetables used in Charles
ton, w. ", and nearby towns were
shipped in because local vegetable
production was very small. Sensing
the opportunity, Strother quit his job
and bought small farm.
Market grades and packages were
a lot of Greek to him, but he knew
what constituted quality. So, while
getting his farm in shape to grow
vegetables, he made several trips to
market where he interviewed both
wholesalers and retailers on the kind
of produce they would buy from him.

Foolish to Defy
Rule of Society
Civilized World Entitled to
Make Regulations for
Proper Conduct.

Five Americans, in connection with
some trivial incident, were recently
arrested and kept in Jail on the little
Spanish island of Majorca, for over
forty days.
Don't you think" writes a reader,
referring to this episode, "that this
is good lesson to Americans who go
stamping over Europe making them
selves obnoxious, with the assurance
that they can get away with it be-
cause they are American citizens?
All of the four men and the one
women involved are people of influ
ence and the best connections in this
country. And yet forSsix weeks the
local Spanish authorities were not
frightened into apologiZing to or re-
leasing them from Jail, out of fear
of the American navy or what-have-
we. With no knowledge of the mer-
its here, those of our countrymen
who are bad-mannered and inconsid-
crate abroad, and depend on bluff to
protect them, should learn from this
they don't have the special license
they have always taken for granted.
What do you say?" This pointed
question called forth the following
answer from an observer Of persons
and things, which seems to us to
need no further comment:
while have only sketchy news
paper reports on the incident just
mentioned, it seems to me that the
experience of these people in prison
in Spain is far out of proportion TO
the alleged offense. and | cannot help
feeling very sorry for them. Because
of little foolishness. or at worst
hot-headedness, they were subjected
to CHASTITY punishment.
However. there is good deal in
what our reader says about some
Americans abroad regarding them
selves as specially privileged to ig-
more ordinary rules and customs and
attempting to intimidate directors
with threats about what Uncle Sam
will do to protect them. To me. this
is not so much question or travel
abroad as of a,certain viewpoint that
is no less evident right here in our
own country. 1t is the viewpoint of
special privilege, the assurance of the
man who has pull here or drag
there, in consequence of which he
thinks he can ignore rules that do
not happen to meet with his conven-
fence. Every once in while, such a
person finds that he has overesti-
mated his pull or its efficacy. and

of us has in it much of the comic.

Finish Not for
Finest Of Woods
Oil or Varnish Treatment
Needed Only to Bring
Out Beauty.

The name Unfinished Furniture"
is given to articles requiring stain,
paint, and varnish, or oil to complete
their finish. White wood. or some
other inexpensive variety, is used for
the wood itself. Furniture of fine
wood has its own style of finishing.
It does not come under this cata-
loguing of unfinished furniture. The
reason for this is that the fine wood
is sufficiently attractive as it is, for
it to be used, if so desired, without
any finish at all, although this is I'M
wise. This is assuming that the ar
ticles are well made. They are good
looking even in this state, without.
the addition of eXtraneous agents
named.
The furniture called Unfinished"
is easily recognized as unfinished by
the very appearance of the wood
which, at glance, can be seen to re-
quire something more done to it, to
make it suitable to go with house.
hold furnishings in homes. Pieces
can serve utility purposes, but not
decorative ones until they are fin
ished.
Furniture of handsome woods is
treated with oil or varnish as finish
ing coats to bring out the beauty Of
the granting, and to preserve the
wood itself. The oil and varnish
penetrate the wood fibers and in
finitesimal crevices, darkening the
latter and thus accenting the beauty
of the curves and lines character
istic of whatever wood is thus
treated.
Woods CT lesser beauty>of grain
ing, those which have fiat surface
tones, lack the handsome character
of finely grained woods, and there
fore, by this absence, call for deco
ration. Such woods are generally
painted. The coating of two or three
applications of paint helps to make
them impervious to dents to which
the softer woods are liable, and
which mar the looks. The hard
paint surface, therefore, supplies
needed protection as well as orna
ment to woods which fail to have
inherent beauty of color and grain
ing.
To makers of fine furniture, and
to those who know woods, there is
something akin to irritation caused
by the idea of painting handsome
woods. There is displayed an igno-
rance of material which is exasper-
ating. This does not mean that
painted furniture is not good. But
it is type distinct in itself. in which
the paint lends beauty to lesser
framework.
1t is a mistake. however, when
home decorators think to add smart
ness to fine old wood by coating it
with paint. The fine wood should be
scraped of its old finish and restored
to beaut by new treatment of the
wood t. bring back the original
granting and color. The wood is
given its own type of preservation
with oil treatment, and dull or
bright finish with varnish of the cor
rect sort. Dull finish is preferable
for handsome wood.
