A Reminisence of Wailuku.

In early days when Rev. J. S. Green
was pastor Mt Wailuku, he suggested to a
chief named Auwae that the Waikiki peo.
pie shonld build house of prayer to tue
Most High God. The chief agreed, and
ordered the natives to bring stones from
the brook to the top of the hill, near where
stands the Waikiki mill. He then en-
ploycd mason who was good mechanic,
bat man of bad moral character, to build
the walls. When tho walls were about
eight feet high, Mr.. Green returned, aud
seeing this man at work told the chief that
he should not have employed him as Gods
blessing would not rest on the building.
Tho work then ceased, and after while,
the chief had the walls torn down, and a
house built for himself of the materials.
When tho walls wero at the required
height, Mr.. Green was passing, and went
up on the top and walked around. Said
he, 1.-THE curse Of God will always rest on
these stones, and the inmates of this house
as the materials were collected by the peo-
pie for Gods house."
The chief did not heed the curse bu
flushed the house and moved in. he oiec
in less than month. His successor il
the craftsmanship also occupied the build
ing, and lived less than a year. Then thu
house stood idle for many years, and tn
stones were sold by Kuihelani to the Wal

ZIG clock and RaII

This much.talked-of subject increases
in interest as time goes on for every true
lover of correct time and progression.
A tower clock never belongs to private
individual. In its construction it was
originally designed for public use. But
as comparatively few are used in any
one community the public generally are
not acquainted with the construction or
power to measure time with &C
curacy. The town clocks diff
fer as much in these particulars
as watches and clocks generally. We
give below the estimates received from
the different companies with which we
have correspondent. The Ansonian com
pany, of Brooklyn, offered to deliver on
the cars in New York, No. 10, striker,
for 1926. The Seth Thomas company
offered to put complete in the tower,
paying freight and all expenses, except
necessary carpenter work. for $1100; or
clock alone No. 16, striker, for $3.50, the
agent says he will throw off $25
leaving cost OF clock $625. The
HTllCE ndo dH OACE lEOh tHC
clock for 1886. The Howard clock
company of Boston, will furnish what is
known as the ground top" clock which
is claimed to be a more accurate and
powerful clock than either Of the above
clocks and which has striking force for
bell of $500 pounds and will not vary
| more than minute a month, which the
company will guarantee for five years,
| for $500. This clock has wooden
rod for the pendulum and cast iron
bob. The same company viii furnish
their No. 2 striker, being better finish,
| ed clock and power to strike a 5000
pound bell, with an escapement
and compromising pendulum for $3.50,
to be put in the tower complete and reg
ulated so that it will not vary ten sec
onds month, for which they will give
4 written guarantee for five years. The
! benefit is to hold the pendulum safe
from any jar which might have the
tendency to effect it; the compensat.
ing pendulum secures against changes
in the atmosphere. Some of these
| clocks have been running for over
thirty years and keep accurate time
yet. Tie first named of the Howard
clocks has not been tested a year
yet. Some of these prices may
seem high. but when you consider that
the best clock viii run as long as the
building may stand, and that there will
be no expense in keeping it running, ev-
| cry business man will see that the best
is the cheapest. The:asent torthe How
ard Clock company has been here for the
past two days and had conference with
the board. The board are fully con-
WINGED as to the excellence of The
Howard clocks, and would have entered
into contract with the agent but for
want Of funds The amount of funds or
hand is s401e5. There is some little
outstanding VET. -

We are off again. This time we sail
for Strawn, small town below Hart
ford. Take dinner with the cattle king
of this locality, James jacobs. He has
fine farm in the Neosho bottom Just
above town. He is only feeding about
one hundred and fifty head of cattle this
winter. After dinner Mr.. Jacobs kindly
drives US over TO Big creek, distance
of eight miles. 1t is Saturday, January
22d. The people of Strawn circuit are
at Gillett's school house for quarterly
meeting. Sunday was very disagree
able day, but The house was so packed
both morning and evening that the
preacher was confined to about two feet
Of space, and had to watch his articula-
tons. lest he ruff1ed the Sunday hats.
Big creek heads up in the southeast
corner of Lyon county and emp;ies into
the Neosho justabove Leroy. The bot
tom and second bottom lands are very
good and there are several very fine
stock farms along This creek. Mr. Ha-
ven, late Of the Wisconsin conference, is
improving farm very near the head of
the north branch. His residence is in
Lyon county and his land, about eight
hundred acres, stretches across the cor
ners of Coffey and Greenwood counties.
He has the pattern for n magnificent
sheep farm.
James Houck deserves mention He
lives with his son, about seven
miles west of Burlington. He
was ninety-eight years old last Octo-
Der, and is quite lively for one OF
his age. He moved with his parents to
Muskingum county, Ohio, in 1902. He
has been a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church since 1911. He helped
TO build the first Methodist church in
that county. He likes TO talk about his
adventures in the good old days" But
he is not sour old man, and believes
the present times are as good as the past
He claims that our country has never
seen so good q system of finance as the
present. He came with his son To Kan
sas three years ago; has become ac-
climated, and bids fair to live hundred
years.
Ii is Monday morning and we will
drive across the country in an open bug
gy, through the falling snow, TO Hartford.
1t is only eleven miles and We can warm
when we get through. The Harttordites
have good audience room in the old
college building and fill it up on quar-
terly meeting occasions, even of cold
week evenings. Remain here over Tues
day, hold quarterly conference, and
preach both morning and evening. On
Wednesday morning we take time to
visit the schools. Frank Kizer is in
charge and is drilling some classes in
arithmetic The mumps have tbinned
out the school. Miss Huribut is busy
with the little ones below. The people
speak we'll of both. Here is the train in
charge of Henson, and the same old

Ottawa Republican: One of Emporia's
dreams for 10, these many-years has beer
TO have an independent line of railway
down the rich. and fertile valley of the
Marias des' Cygnes 10 Kansas City, which
would give them an advantage of TWEEN
ly-five miles in distance. To effect this
an independent company has been form
ed at Emporia, with directors at various
points, Mr.. Robert Atkinson being 6
director in this, city. This compa
ny has undertaken the business OF
getting a franchise from the people
along the line, and has already
succeeded in getting subsidies at the
rate of three thousand dollars per mile
from four townships in Usage county
Two townships in Lyon county are "a
vote on the 18th of February. >
Yesterday Judge Peyion and Mr.
Hood, directors az Emporia.. arrived in
this city and had consultation with q
number of our citizens at the Hambiin
last night. They came to make an eff
fort 10 secure aid from the townships
through which the road will pass in
Franklin county.
The townships which win be canvass
ed, will be APpanoese and Ottawa, and
probably a corner of Centapolis. Aid at
the rate of three thousand a mile will be
asked The gentleman also ask that the
city of Ottawa give them subsidy.
This mater for pretty serious consid-
alton.

The Old and the New

Was the subject of the chErmi1ir lecture
delivered at Bancroft hall Friday evening
by Col Sanford, who was introduced
to the audience by ) II. Smith in a nan-
ner which showed his acquaintance
with duties of this kind. Thischange in
the original announcement was owing
to the fkct that the lecture which had
been selected for the evening, had, the
speaker discovered, after his arrival in
Emporia, been delivered in the CITY upon
the occasion OF f1rmer visit, and he
preferred offering his audience q new
treat, which his admirable effort indeed
proved.
While the lecture itself probably veri-
fed the proposition laid down By
the speaker, namely. that there Is moth
ing so new, but that it is old, it was a
most pleasing and instructive account of
travels which brought to the minds eye
the giories of ages upon ages gone. and
related the experiences of the speaker in
the most felicItous manner The colonel
is very witty, and the eloquent passages
In which his lecture abonndcd aIfsrnated
most happily with bursts Of humor and
sparkling anecdotes that were highly en-
ioyable. The peroration, in which the
grand achievements Of tho latter times
ueEs glowingly SCI forth. deepened the
favorable impression which the speaker
made upon the audience st the outset
and concluded IN a fitting manner the
admirable effort Of the great traveller.
