LIFE IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
[From Miss Birds Letter. from Hawaii ,

[From Miss Birds Letters from Hawaii
Here winds are things almost unknown
except the trade winds, which blow
ever-gently and steadily, with a breath
of balm and healing. Low breezes
whisper softly morning and evening.
rain drops with the softest of touches
and the murmur of drowsy surges alone
breaks the stiffness. The great expanse
Of ocean is disturbed by little more than
ripples. The skies are rose in the cool
morning, gold in the cool evening, while
sails come and 60 no larger than butter
fly wings on the horizon. People speak
in hushed voices, and move as in 4 leth-
argy. Life is dead, and existence little
more than delicious languor. Even the
energetic foreigners soon yield to the
spell, and become as Tennyson's lotos
eaters:
They sat them down upon the yellow sand,
Between the sun and moon upon the shore;
And sweet it wa to dream of Fa,herlaud,
=; but everm0re
Most W airy .emed the sea; weary the oar,
Weary the wandering field of barren 10 I'M:
Then some one said, 'We will return no more. I"
Here, everything in nature is profuse,
fervid. passionate, vivified and pervad-
ed by sunshine. The earth is restless in
her productiveness, and constantly re-
peats the miracle Of Jonah's gourd. All
decay is quickly concealed, and through
the glowing year, flower, bud and fruit
watch each other side by side on the
same tree. Ferns are always uncurling
their fronds, bananas unfolding their
shining leaves, and spring continually
blends her promise with the maturity OF
summer. 1t is wonderful, then, that the
native pines and dies when away from
his Pacific home, and that even the for
| eigner who has once tasted its delicious
| life looks back with longing to Hawaii /?

HOG CHOLERA.

We find the following in an exchange,
credited to writer in the Southern
Cultivator: Last year lost nearly all
my hogs by choleri. My neighbor lost
none scarcely, which led me to believe
that he must possess a sovereign reme-
DIV for this evil. I asked him why he
lost no hogs. His reply was that "He
kept them clear Of worms and stimula-
ted with black pepper. [ first fed them
on corn soaked in lye and copperas, to
clear them Of worms; afterwards, gave
them plenty of black pepper. Those
that were sick got well, and those that
were well remained SO, of course"
This year have given my hogs anoc-
easional dose, twice a week, of Kerosene
oil, said to be preventive of cholera.
Several of my neighbors lost nearly all
their hogs, and six weeks ago mine show
ed signs of disease, and | concluded to
try the lye and pepper. l prepared it as
follows: First, shell an ear of corn and
soak in strong lye all night; next morn
ing add half tea-spoonful of pulverized
copperas-mix and feed In a trough.
This was repeated the following MORN
ing, and 4 half tea-spoonful Of black
pepper was added. After this put
tea-spoonful of pulverized pepper in the
food, boiled grits, every other morning
,or week. Result-My hogs stopped
dying, all that ate got well, and are as
thrifty now as l could wish. The above
is the dose for single hog. 1t is SIM
Dle and reliable.

OLD TIMES IN ST. CHARLES.

In 1922 there were fourteen candidates
for the legislature in St. Charles county.
Jos. Evans, Felix Scott and Robert w.
Wells, afterwards U. S. Judge. were
the successful men. There were no po-
litical issues, every man running upon
his own merits. Politics were first in
troduced in 1928, in the contest between
Jackson and Adams. Ben. Emmons,
ST., filled the office of senator from 1920
to 1924. St. Charles and St. Louis
counties went strongly for Jackson at
the first election, but at his second they
just as strongly opposed him; over two
hundred votes being changed in St.
Charles county on account of the ap-
pointment of Geo. Shannon, United
States attorney, an objectionable man.
Governors Bates and Miller were both
inaugurated in st. Charles. Gov. Bates
died in short time, and Gov. Miller
served seven years, being reelected.
St. Charles was the capital of the state.
At that time, what is now Heyes' tin
store and residence serving as a state
house. In the spring of 1926, the capi-
tol was removed to Jefferson City, the
public property, hardly filling an ordi-
nary two-horse wagon, going up in a
keel-boat. The vote of st. Charles coun-
ty in 1925 was less than 500. The pop
ulation was about $500. No court
house was then built-the most eonven-
lent room to be had being rented fol
court purposes.-St. Charles Cor. Globe
Democrat.

HE GOT THE WORTH OF HIS MONEY.

Saturday evening young man, a
stranger in the city, was promenading
Michigan avenue, when he saw teles-
cope. He invited the manipulation to
turn his instrument toward the moon,
stating that he wished to see the noun
tains, rivers, etc., on its surface, which
are supposed to be visible to the eye
through powerful telescope. Unfor-
tunately for the owner of the instrrl-
ment, the lunar orb had not yet present
ed itself over the top of the Russell
House. A happy idea struck him. He
would turn the lens toward the illumin-
ated City Hall clock-dlal Accordingly,
while with one hand he explained to the
innocent young man the many beauties
of Jupiter and it's satellites, he brought
the instrument to bear on the clock with
the other. After setting the focus, the
young man shut one eye, and, placing
the other eye against the small lens, he
prepared himself for good long gaze
at the wonderous and unfathomable mys-
teries of bright Luna. With mouth
wide open he viewed the magnified dial
for Il long time, when suddenly the bell
in the City Hall tower struck eight. That
was too much for him. Turning his
head away from the telescope, he paid
for the view which he had enjoyed, and,
taking the owner Of the instrument by
the hand, he addressed him as follows
"Shake, old man. You've got the boss
telescope. Pve looked through smoked
glass at the eclipse, and seen steamboats,
out on the lake through marine glass,
but this beats 'em all. For when you
can draw the moon SO close as to see the
clock, and hear it strike besides, a tel.
low gets the worth of his money every
| time"

unequaled, to speak in language plain
and unexaggerated At Caddo we met
our old friends Col. Bone Young and
Capt. w. o. Welch, whom we knew
many, many years ago. They are both
selling goods at this place and are
driving things lively. Capt. Welch had
sown one hundred and twenty acres to
wheat, part of it had sprouted. and
was growing finely; his farm is adj
joining the town. Gen. D. II. Cooper
has been adopted by the Chickasaw Ma
ton, and is now Indian agent for the
Choctaws and Chickasaws. The gener-
al is erecting a handsome residence ON
the site of Fort Washington.
Red river, having been just twenty-one
days on the road from Carrollton. laying
over only three days in the whole time,
and having very pleasant trip. We
are now in Texas, camping ten miles
south of Bonham. AS houses are very
scarce we concluded 10 build us one in
which to pass the winter, SO we are now
putting up a temporary building.
When we were crossing Red river we
learned that sixteen hundred wagons
had crossed this season at one fe, ~
alone-Colberts Bridge; hundreds Of
wagons have crossed at other ferries.
Thus yon see Texas is rapidly filling
up. But it is not strange. it has every
advantage that farmer would want.
Farmers have raised this year on the
average one bale OF cotton to the acre,
bale weighing five hundred pounds,
and is worth in Bonham from ten to
thirteen cents per pound. There are
but few farms for rent and the usual
price is five dollors per acre, in money,
or one-third of the corn, wheat or oats,
and one-fourth of the cotton raised,
when rented on shares. Wheat yields
about twenty bushels to the acre, and
oats from fifty to seventy five, owing to
the season in which they are sown. the
earlier crops succeeding best; and to
have a good yield of oats it is nece 'sary
to sow in January or February. Wheat
and barley are late, owing to the d'y
weather. The farmers have done well
this past year and are just now winding
up their cotton picking.
st. Louis receives very heavy trade
from Texas, getting almost our entire
shipments of beef and cotton, and Il
great part of the wheat; and in return
the merchants Of this country purchase
their dry goods and groceries in st.
Lonis.
In Bonham we met many familiar
faces. among them Elder D. B. Austin,
a Christian minister Captain John j.
jackson, Thos. Austin, and j. H. AZ ing
er are doing fine mercantile business.
BuckShortridge also is in the mercan-
tile line-selling groceries Charles Da-
Wis, formerly Of De Witt, Mo-, is here
dealing in hardware. and asked many
questions about Carroll county people.
We are delighted with the climate
living is fat and cheap; venison and
turkeys in greatest abundance; good
fat beef at 2 1-2 to cents per pound, il
is grass fed, yet the juciest and best !
ever tasted; land is cheap, unimproved
from two to five dollars per acre, and
improved from five to twenty, owing tc
locality and improvements.

A FRENCH LOVE STORY.
From the Paris Charivari.1

The hurry of young man to say 81
will marry, above all when he does
not see what his interlocutor carries in
his hand-is sometimes exceedingly in
convenient. The other day worthy
citizen encountered, as he came out of
fancy store, young man whom he had
met at the bathing place a month be-
fore.
Hold" he said to himself, "that is
the young fellow whom we used always
to meet on the shore when took walk
with Victorine."
He ran toward the young man, and
said: ~
Don't you recollect me ?" : 80
''Heavens!" he exclaimed, turning
deadly pale, and seizing the old mans
hands SO that he could inflict no injury,
he added: 1 am ready to marry her,
SIR"
''To marry her!" exclaimed the citi-
zen in amaZement.
Eyes, sir, have done very wrong. 1
know It, But all can be repaired What
do you wish? l love her-love her like
fool"
"Love!-who!"
"Victorine."
"Victorine! Malheureux! Why that
is my WIFE,"

Fannin County, Texas.
HENRY WILSON.
why He Changed Hi. Name

It seems to be generally conceded
that the late Henry Wilson, Vice Presl-
dent of the United States, changed his
name from Goliath to Wilson, because
he was ashamed of his family. and the
name they had disgraced. The New
York Herald says:
His fathers name was not Wilson,
but Goliath and It was while he was Il
lad of seventeen that the boy who had
been named jeremiah Jones Goliath
was enabled by an act of Legislature to
becomej Henry Wilson. No good
reasons have ever been ascertained for
this seemingly vain act, on the part of a
blunt man who always rejoiced at being
called the 'sNatick Cobler.;' 1t was,
however, in those days, common oc-
currence for people to have their names
changed. Lists of names were frequent
ly sent to the Legislature for alteration.
Gen. Jackson had, some time before,
paid visit to New Hampshire, and a
man named Wilson had entertained him.
The honor was considered great. and
Wilson's name Immediately became
so popular that young Goliath
assumed it. From that time he has been
known as Henry Wilson. 1t has been
published that he took his employers S
name to show gratitude for kind treat
ment. This is untrue. The Colbaths
were extremely poor people: and on
one occasion when he was taunted by
Gov. Hammond, of South Carolina, up
OH being mudsill and .shireling man
ual laborer," MIR. Wilson replied that he
was also the son of a hirellng manual
laborer. There were seven children in
the family, of which Henry Wilson was
the only one who arrived at any dis
tinction. A brother who odherred to
the name of Goliath was at one time a
door-keeper in the hall of the Massa-
chusetts Assembly, but he became such
only by the interposition of Mr.. Wilson
Another brother, S. H. Goliath, was
not long since, and perhaps still is, one
of the messengers OF the United States
Senate, and no doubt owed, or owes, his
| position to his illustrious brother of the
changed name.
Mr.. Wilson's wife and only son were
taken from him some years ago and ht
died, we believe, without any relatives
but such as bore the name he discarded
and he did not die rich, fact tha
proves him guiltless of corruption il
office, for his habits We're never in any
respect extravagant, but always temper
ate i'll all things. He never drank +:
drop of spirituous or Intoxicating
liquors, and never used tobacco in any
form. The habits of his relatives seen
