The good that a woman can do tow.

And the first duty of man, as well
as OF woman, is to home, to his wife

daughters, their counselor and friend,
he should be the light and joy ofhis
household, their strength for duty,
their encouragement to excellence,
their comfort and help in all that

SATURDAYS GAME
The G. llege BOYS Win Another
Game to Make Their Cham
piOnship Sure.

If it is true that the Kamehame-
has agreed to give the Hawaiis a
chance for second place, Saturday
was bad day to carry cut any
such contract, as the College boys
could not lose even if they tried.
Both sides played very queer ball
for the first inning, but for the next
three innings they settled down to
work and played better. In the
fifth the fun commenced, when the
students commenced to bat the de.
livery of Palmer Woods; this they
did in a manner that would curl the
hair of any pitcher. Hits from a
single to three-bagger came in
such rapid succession that seven
runs were tailed while the bell was
being slogged.
The Kamehamehas had a sur
prise in store for the grand stand in
the shape of four new players. No
body is the least disturbed when
the Hawaiis take the field with a
mlsfit nine, in fact, they are so ac-
customed to that sight now that if
the captain dared to play the same
nine twice there would be a uni
versal howl from the grand stand:
but the Kamehamehas' new men
played well, notably a young man
named Bridges; his fielding was
clean and his batting eye excellent.
In the absence of Meheula the
curves were delivered by Mahuka;
the said curves were batted freely
at times but the ball managed to
reach a base in time to retire a run
ner, one of the very good reasons
why the Hawaiis did not win the
game. Errors like showers hap
pened now and then, but they had
nothing to do with Archie Mahau-
LUIS batting. Archie was very care
Ful in selecting his stick, always |
out one with a hole large
to allow the ball to pass
through uninjured; however, in one
Instance, his friend Morris selected
bat with which Archie managed
% reach first base.
The many friends and acquain-
ances of Morris were agreeably
urprised with his playing; he
aught several difficult flies, besides
apping out one or two hits and
otherwise behaving like a real ball
layer, excepting of course his
hroWlng, which is not unlike a girl
laying bean-bag. Thompson played
Irst in faultless manner, but then
his player is always good and it
'ould be a pleasant surprise to have
everal more men like him in the
IaWaiis.
The game throughout was not
articularly interesting and was
layed before an audience that No
lie Marsden would call "pianissi-
