In Ka Worid. Walking together along one of HER COUP of his calling, entered the vestibule and rang the Tipperary bell. "That cop is offn his beat," com mented the astute boy. "If the rounds comes- around he's in fer it. But my name is Cassidy." The next night the visit was repeated; and yet the next; and yet many suc ceeding nexts. HI. courtship was pro gressing smoothly. The widow", ru.a was working like the proverbial charm Only once did discovery threaten. That was during one of the osslfer' s vlfsits when Maggie placed her mouth Just outside of the keyhole and. called through the door, "Ma, Willie; says his name's O'Brien and I am Maggie Cas sidy. Whhch am I, please?" "Unroolv poopils thlm," said the love lorn osslfer. "Turrible," said the widow shyly. "But you- know something must be done to pay the rlpt." In the hallway below stood Tommy smoking a cigarette. "That's a fancy stunt," ne mused. "He', been six times offn his beat and six times he's been up to our floor. Guess he's keeplfi' com pany -with my mother I mean Mrs. Tipperary as used to be my mother. But mv name is still Cassidy. He rushed me outen the way tonight I guess he don't like kids. It's all In the game, though." So Tommy smoked away and patiently, awaited developments. Three days afterwards the entire flat learned that the Widow Tipperary was engaged "to be married to the handsome Mulligan. Tommy alone disapproved of .the alliance. "This school business' is n. g." was his comment. "He don't like us. that's plain. I deesay when ma. meaning Mrs. T Is married, they'll be turnln' lis out and tryln' to send us home. Home! I wonder where the Cas sldvs live. As for Mulligan, I'd give a nickel to call him 'pa' Jes once, and see how he'd take It." The next day was Friday. " Tommy's recollection of the exact time Is .distinct because he remembers it. marked his fifteenth summary dismissal from school.

"None of your business." said Tom my curtly. "Punch him." whispered Willie who had an abiding faith in Tommy's pugil istic potentiality. "A good chanst to get rid of thlm while we're on our honeymoon," thought the officer. Aloud be added. "I'll arrlst both of yex. Come along." Tommy went smiling. Seeing that, Willie smiled too. The latter young gentleman was certain that Tommy's apparent docility was feigned and that at the psychological moment when Mul ligan had been lulled Into unwarlness, he'd soke 'lm yet." Nothing of the kind happened, how ever, and they soon reached the station house. A sergeant received them.- He was large and fat and he -paraded gilt galore. But Tommy did not care; he had resolved upon his course of action and was careless as to his fate. The sergeant turned to Tommy. "Is that little feller your brother T' "Sure, can't you see?" said the boy. "We've the same shade of freckles. His name Is Bill, W-l-l-l-l-a-m." "And yours?" "Thomas Tipperary.," "That's a lie.

"do and fetch Mrs. Tipperary," said the sergeant. Tommy felt that his time had come. "Just "a minute," he said. "Sergeant, when a osslfer Is a oasifer he's uiuler p'llce rules?" Mulligan glared savagely. "Yes sir." answered the sergeant. "And when a osslfer goes dut he goes Out on a heat?" "Yes, sir." . "And .if he goes offn his beat, he's punished?" , "Yea fined and dismissed." "And if he goes orfn hi. beaf six JUmes it', worse?" Mulligan fled.

Jayne OF A CERTAIN man who is for ever looking on the dark side of things and complaining that there Is neither beauty nor bless injpln the world, it Is said: "He runs his gloom shop all the time." " When this man speaks his sentences fall on the air llke the dismal croak ing of carrion crow. When he lifts up his voice there Is In It the melody and the magic of the "hee-haw" of the mule. Wherever he goes the air Is as full of blackness as the sea Is full of vlle.-sraellng ink after the squkl has passed that way. Every hope that comes to this man's life withers and turns bitter and sour. Every accomplishment when finished is like dead seat fruit, full of ashes and dust within. For him there Is no pleasure, peace or prosperity. He Is a calamity howler and howls the loudest when there Is the least to how' tbout. si Thts man Is a success as manu facturer tf gloom. His smokestacks are fed from the fires of discontent and blacken and darken the atmos phere for miles around. Nothing that Is done In the world suits hi in. If he happens to l a mem ber of a church and on Its official board he make, the life of the preacher ind his fellow members" "Bitter, through his perpetual recitations of how things were done In former pastorates, and how the new times are not equal to the good old times, when he was a young man climbing life's hill.

This would certainly be an extreme measure, and it Is doubtful if the remedy would be any better than the disease. ,- , What foundation there is. for the ru mor tha writer is unable to say, but It certainly is being taken seriously by the people of Hawaii, as is indicated . by the utterances of. the. press of Hon olulu.

Ever since annexation the Ka naka has been suspicious of the haole , for the overthrow of the monarchy rankles and will not be forgotten a. long as the generation of 10 years ago Is still alive. They are always afraid that the whfcea will manage In some way to deprive them of the ballot. And It is but fair to say- that a good manyj of the white people of the island re-i 'gsrd the natives as unfitted for the1 right of franchise and -would be glad to see it taken away from. them. So the Hawaiian, have some ground t&l ' their suspicions. . ' It Is the feeling that Hawaii should remain the land of the Hawaiian, that' gave rise t6 the third party some Tears ago, the Home Rule party, the motto of which Is "Hawaii for the Hawaiian a. This party five years ago was very strong and elected not only nearly, all . the members of the legislature, but: also many other orricers or tne local govern- 1 ment But slnoe that time It has grad ually been. wasting away, and though the feeling that gave It birth t. still prevalent among the natives, their ln- . ferests have become too much divided , fhr the party to have much strength. Nevertheless, it still remains a factor In Hawaiian politic. - This' year a new party ba. arisen, , called tha Labor party. The name, how- ever. Is misleading, Suggesting aa.it' does, a concerted movement on the part of organised labor. There- is no organ- Ised labor in Hawaii. It Is doubtful if . a labor day parade could muster much more than a, .core of men holding union . cards. The name chosen is simply a name, nothing more. The leader and organised of the party Is Charlie Achl. a napa-pake, or half Chinese, half Ha waiian lawyer who, notwithstanding ' the fact that h is Ignorant of the law, almost entirely - uneducated and of a more or less shady reputation, yet ha. frreat Influence over the Hawailans. It s a fact wortrty of note that the ad mixture of- the Chinese blood with-- the Hawaiian gives rise to a generation ' more Intelligent than the Hawaiian and, more virile than the Chinese. There are many of these half-castes in' the . islands and they will undoubtedly prove a very important factor In th development of the territory. Chinese Voters.
