[he Ex—Secretnry of State Thinks That AI-
' nexatlon Is Desirable.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Mr. John W.
Foster, ex-secretary of state, has returned
tor'Washington from a six weeks’ visit-'to
Hawaii, whither he went as therepre-
sentative of the Pacific Cable company.
In speaking of his visit Mr. Foster said:
“The condition of business in Hawaii
«is flourishing. The islands are prosperous,
and their future is bright. The Pacific
Mail has recently doubled its service, send-'
ing a steamer twice a month instead of
once, as formerly, and a new line is soon
eXpected to be established by the Japanese
which will to‘uch at the islands on the way
to San Francisco. The people of Hawaii
wish to be annexed to the United States.
The present government has the approval
of a majority of the native Hawaiians, and
there is no likelihood'that there ever will
be a restoration of the monarchy. The
English and German elements, however,
are Opposed to annexation to the United
States,because they believe it will interfere
wit their contract labor and soon affect
the intéfi'ests commercially.
“The present government, in its admin-
istration, is giving satisfaction. Yet this
government is only temporary, and the
people want to be annexed to the United
States. The members of the government
are ple‘d ed to it, and the present consti-
tution o the republic expresses this expec-
tation. So it is the general belief that'the
matter should be decided at an early date,
if possible.”
Mr. Foster said it was not apparent
- that Hawaii éould maintain herself as an
independent government if the‘United
States refuse to annex the islands. Al-
though her people are law abiding nd her
present government moves along s 00th-
ly and successful, there is continual fear,
said Mr. Foster, that some change may
occur. So far as the Hawaiians are con-
cered, independently of outside influences,
they are capable of self government. In
Mr. Foster’s opinion, however, annexation
is the only ‘way out of the situation in
which Hawaii is placed.

LONG AGO.
I once knew all lhe birds that came
And nestled in our orchard trees;
For every flower I had a name— ‘ .
My friends were woodchucks. toads and
b s.
[knew where thrived in 'yonder - len
What plants would soothe a stone-bruised
. toe—
O, I was very leariied then.
,_ But that; was very long ago.
I knew the spot upon the h ll
Where checkerberrics could be found;
I knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed a pound!
I knew the wood—the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me—
But that Was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth.
I tread the old familiar spot,
Only to learn this solemn truth:
I have forgotten, am forgot.
Yet, here’s this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things I used to know:
To think I once was wise as be—
But that ’was very long ago.
I know it's folly to complain
Of whatsoe’er the Fates decree;
Yet were not wishes all in vain,
I tell you what my wish should be:
I’d wish to be a boy again,
Back with the friends I used to know;
For I was, OI so happy then—
But that was very long ago.
' . —Eugene Field.
COLONEL CLITHEROE.
“Mrs. Col. Clitheroe.” And with the
utterance of those words the brown
eyes seemed to laugh at their own re-
flection in the mirror, and as the pret
tily-curved lips parted they showed the
perfect teeth. “Do I look it, John?
Do I? For I am intensely anxious as
to the effect which I shall produce on
your friends and neighbors.”
The gray-haired handsome husband
shook his head with a smile.
“Hardly, I am afraid, Rose. A cas-
ual observer would be more likely to
think you were a young lady spending
the holidays with her grandfather.
Fortunately, however, the residents
in these parts know who you are. I
expect they will muster pretty strong
at church this morning to get a good
stare at you.”
“I really feel nervous. ’I don‘t want
these people who have known you all
your life to say I ‘am too young and too
giddy, and too altogether unworthy to
be your wife!”
“Don’t be anxious, child, whatever
they think and whatever they say, the
fact remains that we are entirely satis-
fied with each other.”
“I am more than satisfied,” and Rose l
spoke emphatically. “I often wonder
why such happiness should come to
me when many women are miserably
married.”
It was :1 rather romantic little story,
as things go in these prosaic times,
that story of how Rose Dysart became
Mrs. Clitheroe when she was 18,
and he was 46.
Rose declared that she had been in
love with him all her life. Certainly
at two years old she had been in the
habit of assuring him, “Rosie'll marry
you when she’s big,” whereupon he :11-
ways answered, “All right, little wo-
man, I’ll wait for you.”
The child’s passionate devotion to
the handsome ofi‘icer was quite an
But when
his regiment was ordered off to India,
and they saw the little face grow
white and thin, and heard her heart-
broken sobs, they laughed no longer.
Even after she ceased to cry for
“Rosie’s Colonel,” she never forgot
him. . -
The pretty baby had grown to a tall
slim girl of 13 when these two friends
met again. By that time, Rose Dysart
was a pupil at a small and select
boarding school in the environs of
Paris; and on one of the frequent
visits which her father and mother
paid to their darling, they came, by
chance, across Col. Clitheroe, who also
was spending a few days in the gay
capital.
“How is Rosie? Has she forgotten
me?” were among his first questions.
Mrs. Dysart laughed.
“Rose is at school at Neuilly. Come
with us this afternoon, and then judge
for yourself whether you have been
forgotten.”
The girl had not grown stiff and shy.
She was immensely delighted to see
her old friend again, and she told him'
so.
“I have grown gray since those
days,” he said, with a half sigh.
Whereupon Miss Rose declared that
she liked gray hair best.
Each seemed to please the other;
they seized in a moment on each oth-
er’s meaning, they appeared to divine
each other’s thoughts.
“I shall come again,” said Col.
Clitheroe, when the visitors’ hour was
over, and study must begin. “I see
that you and I shall be excellent
friends, as we were eleven years ago.”
However, he made no second visit
to the “pensionnat” at Neuilly-sur-
Seine. His uncle’s illness recalled
him suddenly to England, and Rose
Dysart’was a finished young lady and
about to be introduced into society be-
fore she had the pleasure of meeting
her Colonel again. .
The girl’s face ”was not strictly beau-
tiful, but it was a charming face; she
was immensely admired, both by men
and women. And there must be some-
thing lovable as well as lovely in a
young lady of 17, when those of her
own sex express sincere admiration
and can praise he? whole-heartedly.
“She will certainly marry young,”
said elderly people; but it never oc-
curred to any one of them to suppose
that this sunny-faced Rose Dysart
would refuse three eligible men, sim-
ply because she loved a middle-aged
colonel. .
And they were quite delighted that
she should refuse her first three offers
of marriage. .
. It was in the spring, and just before
her 18th birthday, that the pysarts
left their pretty Sussex home for ‘a
furnished house in Eaton place, which
they had hired for the season at a
somewhat exorbitant rent.
. The important day came.
'I To the great joy of Rose, Col. Clith-
eroe was one of the first callers. He
also was in town for two' or three
months, having; during ,the previous
year, buried his old uncle, and inheri-
ted the property.
“My dear fellow,” said Mr. Dysart to
him, With the familiarity of a friend
of long standing, “you really ought not
to remain unmarried. Try and remem-
ber that you are depriving some wo-
man of an excellent house, and a still
more excellent husband! A man in the
prime of life—well off, good looking,
retired from the army—where lies the
hindrance?” _
‘tSimply in this.” replied the Colonel.
“I have never been in love; and I
should be afraid to marry now that I
run past the age for the tender passion.
{You see there is no ‘three years’ sys-
le’m’ in matrimony. It has to be till
death us do part.”
"Don’t you get married, 'Colonel,” ex-
claimed Rosc, who was in the room.
“I like you best as you are. Indeed, I
think changes are almost always dis-
agreeable. It is pleasanter for things
to go on pretty much the same. 1
menu to remain single all my life so
{Is never to have to leave father and
mother.” . .
“You, will be reconciled to leave us
When the right man and right mo’meni
arrive,” said Mrs. .Dysart. “You may
not think so now, girls never do be.
fore they are really in love. But if
all probability the time will come
when, of your own wish and will, yot
will go away from us.”
Rose shook her head.
“I can’t think so, mother. However
let us talk of some more interesting
subject—of my being presented, for in-
stance. Can you picture mc, Colonel
making my courtesy and kissing the
hand of royalty? I hope I shan’t turn
awkward and shy at the last moment
I ought not, for as a little girl with a
counterpanc in place of a train, I have
practised my manners over and over
again.”
They all laughed.
“No, I scarcely think you will be
shy,” said Col. Clitheroe. "Besides, the
moment makes the man, they say—so,
of course, it makes the woman.”
Rose Dy-
sart was simply yet elegantly dressed,
and her fresh young face won its fair
share of notice as she waited among
the crowd of debutantes.
Then followed six weeks of gay-
ety; concerts, ope-":1, dances, garden
parties, riding in the Bow; neverthe-
less, the girl was glad when her father
decided to return to the country before
mid-summer. '
Everything seemed beautiful and en-
deared by absence. The trees had
exchanged their first freshness of ten-
der green for the ripeness of summer
beauty: the hawthorn and bluebells
were over and done with, but the fo-
liage of the woods seemed lovely by
the contrast With Hyde Park.
Col. ClitherOe was to be one of file.
after season guests at the Dysarts’
country house: he followed them with-
in a fortnight of the' departure from
‘Eaton place.
Mr. and Mrs. Dysart regarded ‘Col.
Clitheroeas a sort of venerable friend
with whom Rose might be sent to
walk, talk, or ride, without outraging
even the narrowest notions of proprie-
ty.
“I must have been a positive nuis-
ance to you, wasn’t I, Colonel?” she
said one day as they paced side by side
the terraced walk, while waiting the
summons to breakfast. “I know I was
always running after you, yet you
never seemed cross and bored.”
"I should think not, indeed,” and the
Colonel laughed. “Your advances
were so flattering. I could not reckon
up the times you assured me your in-
tention to marry me when you grew
big enough. Ah,«child,” and now a
sigh followed the smile, “I suppose one
of these days I shall stand among your
wedding guests—and I don’t think I
shall enjoy the ceremony one bit.”
“You will never be a guest,” and now
Rose colored, yet held out her hand as
bravely as when she was a child.
“Colonel! I am going to do something
dreadful, I suppose. Please never tell
any one; and please say ‘no’ if you
would rather give that answer. But I
am big enough now, and I tell you ex~
actly what I did when I was 2 years
old: ‘l’ll marry you’—or I shall cer-
tainly never marry any one.”
And in that moment Col. Clitheroe1
knew that though his hair was plenti-
fully streaked with gray, and though
his face had lines on it which nothing
butthe passage of years can trace, he
lovedRose Dysart as a man loves only
.once in a lifetime. .
7 It was only when he told Mr. and
Mrs. Dysart of his good fortune that
he remembered Harry Rawdon’s com-
mission;
,“Never mind!” said Rose. “Your
recommendation of him as a husband
would not have been of the slightest
use. I have loved you first and last
and always—ever since I was 2.”
That is how there came to be a
young, bright girl who, bearing the ti-
tie of Mrs Col. Clitheroe, walked by the
side of her elderly husband one sunny
Sunday to the accompaniment of the
church bells. Snow in his hair—sum-
mer in her face, yet they were happy;
