Molokai and tho Ltport.
The general Itloa of the leper settle
ment on the Island of Molokai l
wrong, Hays a writer In Harpers
Weekly. Instead of tbe entire Island
being used fur tbe leper colony tbe 6ft
tlenient comprises only elKbt square
miles out of a total area of 201 square
miles. It occupies a tongue of land on
the northern side of Molokai. Tbe
north, cast and west shores of this
tiny spit are washed by the raclflc.
while on tbe south side rise precipitous
cliffs of from 1,800 to 4.000 feet, which
make the isolation seem even more
hopeless than the beautiful deep blue
waters of tbe sea ever could. The
most difficult and dangerous trail, con
stantly manned by government guards,
foils escape, if.lt were ever contem
plated, by the land side.
Stupid Husband of a Noted 8ingr.
Catalanl's husband, a handsome
Frenchman, was even more unlntel
lectual than bis wife he was stupid.
Once, having found tbe pitch of the
piano too high, she said after the re
hearsal to her husband: "Tbe plana li
too high. Will you see that it is made
lower before tbe concert?" When tbe
evening came CalalunI was annoyed
to find that the piano had not been
altered. Her husband sent for tbe car
penter, who declared tbat be bad saw
ed off two liuliea from each leg, as
he had been ordered to do. "Surely it
can't be too high now. my dear," said
the stupid husband soothingly.

When the celebrated divine Edward

they left the ball one said lo the other:
"Well. Willie, what do you think T
"Oh." said the other contemptuously,
'the man's cracked:"
The first speuker laid a quiet band
on his shoulder.
"Will," said he. "you'll often see a

SWINGS THE
BIG STICK
Continued from page 1.
onel's views coincide with the govern
ment opposition, but it is probable
that the opposition objects to such
caustic criticism coming from an out
sider. Althogh Roosevelt waa frequently
applauded during his speech there
was no real enthusiasm in the ap
plause, the audience evidently being
more or less perplexed by the unex
pected sensation which the speech
developed.
The speech is bound to arouse the
nationalists in Egypt and this puts
on one of the most serious phases.
In the light of Roosevelt's recent
speeches in Egypt when he assailed
the nationalist movement, England
had hoped, if Roosevelt touched
Egyptian affairs it would be in a laud
itory way and she was little prepared
for being charged with responsibility
for the crisis that now confronts her
in Egypt,
After thanking the city chamber
lain, Sir Joseph C. Diminsdale, who,
in the corporations named offered
Roosevelt the "right hand of fellow
ship" and presented him with the
gold box containing the emblazoned
vellum certificate of "freedom". Col
onel Roosevelt spoke as follows:
"I am especially appreciative of
today's honor because it is a sign of
good will tending to knit all speakers
of the English language. I prefer
for to talk today regarding matters
of real concern to you rather than.,
merely to express thanks and eulogy.
"I have recently spent nearly a
year under four British-African pro
tectorates. Your men in Africa are
doing a great work fo the British em
pire and for civilization. The nations
which are conquering the savage
lands for civilization should work
together. Mankind is benefitted by
the French occupation of Algires
and Tunis just as mankind is bene
fitted from Ennland's work in India.
which Is similarly for the interests
of civilization.
"Governor Sir Percy Girouard is
admirably fitted to deal wisely and
firmly in East Africa. Uganda can't
be a white man's country, owing to
its climate. The prime needs is to
administer the lands for the natives
interest.' The Soudan affords the
best example of the wisdom of dis
regarding the well-meaning but un
wise sentimentalists who object to
spreading civilization at the expense
of savagry.
"In Egypt you are not only the
guardian, of your own interests, but
of the interests of civilization. The
present condition of Egyptian affairs
menaces your empire and civilization
as well. You have given Egypt the
best government in 2,000 years, yet
recently you erred. It is necessary
to remember that weakness and tim
idity and sentiment alike are more
harmful to an uncivilized people
than violence and injustice.
."You treated the pan-Egyptiuil
movement and religious struggles fair
ly and impartially,. Instead of ac
knowledging this, a section of the
nation took,advantagc of this for the
development of an anti-foreign move
ment. Premier Boutros Pasha, a
competent official, an upholder of
the British rule and a wrokcr for his
countrymen was murdered because of
these facts. The attitude of the
Egyptian nationalists regarding the
murder of Montros shows that they
not only vicious but arc incanable
of granting even primary justice.

Alex Hunter, who works on a tele
phone gang in this city, got a pretty
good sized snout full yesterday after
and by the time the corner doors were
closed at eight o'clock, he had nearly
lost his bearings of the city. He
rambled down to the residence of
C. J. Baker and made a noise like try
ing to get into the house where he
was under the impression that he had
rented a room. He was picked up
later in the evening by the sheriff
who took him to the city strong house
to sleep it off. This morning he
pleaded guilty before Judge Archer
to the charge of being drunk and dis
orderly and was given a fine of $5.00
and costs which , was suspended by
the magistrate till Saturday night
when Alex will be a little more flush.
About noon he sailed up to the
Baker home again with a fairly
good cargo, crawled into his room and
commenced to slumber when he was
rudely interrupted by an officer who
had been summoned to remove him
form that vicinity. He was again
locked up in the calaboose where he
will remain until morning when he
will have another chance to explain
to the judge.
