THE FIRST CHOICE.
It Wat Right, Too, Because the B.~av?rt
Are the Tendereet.
Some yearn ago the excursion steam
er returning from Alaska to Seattle
dlslocuted Its propeller In n dreary
portion of tlie Inner passage and came
to a forced stop. For two days the
vessel's engineers aud machinists la
bored to repair the break, but without
success. Two of the boats were man
ned aud dispatched for aid to Vic
toria, 300 miles away. In tho mean
time It was discovered that the ship's
stores were not abuudaut. Alarm bred
In the minds of pessimistic passen
gers, and the contagion spread. Star
vation might assail the vessel before
help arrived.
A former California official took It
on himself to reassure his timid com
panions, but his effort was not per
fectly adapted to raise drooping spir
its. In fact, his closing sentences but
added to the gloom. "Let us bo l>rave,"
he said. "If the worst comes and that
dread necessity which In such misad
ventures has met others must be faced
by tis. let us remember that It is good
to die that our friends may live. The
one or more that may bo sacrificed
will be consoled by that thoughts
There was a moment's silence, awful
In its Intensity, then a cheerful voice
was heard. "Yon should be taken
first. Governor Booth. Yon know the
bravest are the tenderest." And even
tho terror stricken smiled onco more.?

TAPA CLOTH.
Attire of the Native Hawaiians Before
Civilization Arrived.
The "pnper mulberry" tree (Brousso
netla papyrlfera) Is the source of the
famous "tapa cloth" of the Tolyneslan
Islands. This fc a natural tissue and Is
derived from the Inner bark and after
being torn off in strips is scraped with
shells and beaten with a mallot until It
resembles a soft, flexible paper. The
Individual strips are united by over
lapping the edges and beating the
fibers together until large pieces of the
tissue are formed.
It Is said that before II a wall waB
swept with the wave of civilization
men and women were dressed In thlp
natural bark cloth "tapn" or "kapa."
The dress of the women consists of
the "pa-u." or wrapper, composed of
five thicknesses of tapa, about four
yards in length by three In width,
passed several times around the waist
and extending below the knee. The
dress of the men was the "malo," or
girdle, about a foot in width and sev
eral yards long. A "klkel," or mantle,
six feet square, was sometimes worn
by both sexes. In former years these
natural cloths were sometimes bleach
ed to snowy whiteness or wero dyed In
colors and even printed or ornamented
usually in checks or squares. ? Ex

A Practical Demonstration.
"The best way to study nature is to
go right to It." .
"I suppose so."
"Oh, I know it. I was once disposed
to doubt the industry of the ant, of
which so much is Bald."
"Ami you learned better?*
"I did. I had a controversy with a
naturalist over the question, and I
thought I had him beaten until he gave
me a demonstration."
"Took you out and showed you the
ants at work, <Jid he?"
"Well, not exactly that, but he took
me along on one of his scientific expe
ditions and then maliciously pitched
my tent over an ant hill. By tho time
I discovered what was happening the
conviction was forced upon me that
ants are really and truly Industrious.
They are small, but they made tnc
move, and some of them wont right
along with us to the next camping
j place."? New York Times.

"Do you know the prisoner well?" .
asked the attorney.
"Never knew him 111," replied the
witness.
"Did you ever see the prisoner at iho
I bar?"
"Took many a drink with him," was
the reply.
"How long have you known this
man?"
"From two feet up to five feet ten."
"Stand down," yelled the lawyer in
disgust.
"Can't do It," said he. "I'll sit down
or stand up."
"Officer, remove that man." And he
| did.
An Athletic Game.
The cobbler's shop In a small villago
was filled with old men and a young
man, the young man being a good
football player. Naturally the conver
sation drifted to the game of foot
ball.
The young man turned to one of the
old men and asked him if he bad ever
played the game. The veteran thought
fully blew a cloud of tobacco smoke
from his lips and replied:
"Nay, lad. I've never played at none
o' them athletic games 'cept dominos."

A WAYSIDE FLOWER.

And all thy varied charma war*

Alone the strings of allvory Ijrn^
Attuned -at those poetic Area

With an immortal rhythmic flow.
Within the storM niche of fame
Did Chaucer's pen thy virtue* tram*.
His bar* enwreathed thy sunlit brow,
A blltlMOme bonny daliiy thou
In white anfl golden vesture dlght,
With radiancy thy (ace allfht;
Whllo glows the sun above thy head
Till twilight's rose I* overspread.
We yearn for that serenity
That In thy heavenward ey* we see;
Thy sweet simplicity, which seems
Apart from time's unstable dreams.
In day's resplendency delight.
Naught dim thy tonstaacy or blight
Thy vivid cheer, o'erbrltn with dew.
Thou wayside flower so leal and truol

Its form was ugly; it* leaves held stings
That pierced #,nd tortuml like evil things.

To a life of selflshness, hate and sin.
And on blazing sunshlnu it joyed to feed,

THE DISAPPOINTED LOVER.
I WILL so back to the great sweet
mother
Mother and lover of men, the sea.
I will go down to her, I and none
other, - 1 1
Close with her, kiss her and mix her
with me;
Cling to her, strive with her, hold her
fast
O fair white mother. In days long past
Born wlthotit stoter, born without brother.
Set free my soul as thy soul is (reel
0 fair green girdled mother of mine.
Sea, that Is clothed with the sun and
the rain.
Thy swee'. bard kisses are strong like
-wlrttfr ' "?
Thy tarje embraces are keen like pain.
Savo me ai.d bide me with all thy waves.
Find me ooe grave of thy thousand
grave*.
Those pure cold populous graves of thine,
Wrought without hand In a world with
out stain.
1 shall sleep and move with the moving
ships,
Chango as tho winds change, veer in
tho Ude.'
My lips will feast on the foam of thy
^fpei' - ?
I shall rise with thy rising, with thee
subside;
Sleep and not know if she be. If she
were.
Filled full with life to the eyes and hair.
As a rose Is full filled to the rose leal
tips
With splendid summer and perfume and
pride.
This woven raiment of Bights and days.
Were it once cast o ft and unwound from
me,
Naked and glad would I walk in thy
ways,'
Alive and aware of thy waves and thee.
Clear of the whole world, hidden at home.
Clothed with the green and crowned with
the foam.
A pulse of the life of thy straits and
bays,
A vein in tho heart of the streams of
the sea.
