Yes, we are going TO give round
trip ticket to the Volcano to the per-
son bringing in the greatest number
of our Sales Checks on December
26th. We called on Mr.. Chase, the
General Passenger Agent of the
Volcano House Company, at his
Tourists Headquarters, Williams
Gallery, and have made arrange
ments with him, SO that our repre-
sentative can go up with the Thos.
Cook 81 Sons Excursion from the
Coast, consisting of twenty-five peo-
pie, leaving here January 18th, if you
SO desire or at any other time. We
are as anxious that whoever repre-
sents us on this trip shall have all the
pleasure there is in it, as we are to
have you know; that by our Quick
Sales and Small Profit System of
doing business, you get the most for
your money-that it enables you to
buy among the great variety OF goods
in our line.
EQUIPOISE WAISTS, cheaper
than ever, and speaking about
Equipoise and Compromise Waists,
they combine three garments in one
"a CORSET, WAIST, and
Corset Cover. They afford the same
bust support that regular boned
corset does. The bone pockets are
SO arranged that bones can be re-
moved or re-inserted at any time
without any ripping being done.
Ladies who find it uncomfortable
to wear the ordinary Corset, and still
cannot do without some support will
find the Equipoise Waist the long
looked-for substitute for corsets-
they fit perfectly. We have them all
sizes. They are just the thing to
wear on the Volcano Trip.
~ Save all your Sale Checks. You
may be the lucky one.

TIE RED CROSS IN JAPAN.

Men, in civilized" countries, are
yet skeptical about the statement
that the Japanese are making real
progress, upon civilized" lines.
The fact that they are wasting
much substance in following the
examples of enlightened nations,
that have created fine and expen-
sive navies, and organized large
armies, for cutting the threats OF
people that they don't like, should
be quite enough to prove that they
are making real progress as it is
now understood.
But the complete and extensive
organization of "Red Cross" So
ciety, under the active patronage OF
the Empress, indicates that these
wonderful people have realized at
last, at bound, those sentiments
of humanity in war, which the en-
lightened nations have realized,
only after almost centuries of in
humanity in warfare. These are
people whom we have been pleased
to call "heathen," because they
knew little or nothing of our relig-
ion. And yet there has sprung out
of this heathenism, sentiment of
the finest humanity, the desire to
alleviate the sufferings of friend
and foe, amid the horrors of war.
The contribution of $4,000, by the
Japanese laborers here, to the work
of the Red Cross society, has no
parallel in modern times. In a
compari sou of the numbers and
circumstances of the givers of this
amount, with the numbers and cir
cumstances of those who have
made similar gifts, in the ''enlight-
ened" countries, during their late
wars, it will appear that the Japan
csc have far exceeded the latter in
their voluntary generosity for the
cause. We are beginning to learn
something about these people, and
we may find it to our advantage to
get rid of some OF the "intolerable
insolence," which, a great English
statesman says, is the attitude Of
the Anglc-Saxon race toward the
Asiatics, and other people, who
have been foolish enough to neglect
the great art of warfare. The latest
advices say that the Chinese have
captured and tortured a Japanese
officer. If so, it will not be easy
for the Japanese to fix on any
method of just but humane retalia-

Death of Bertha Otti1ie Isenbere.

On the last steamer Mr.. and
Mrs. o. Isenberg of Kekaha, Kauai,
received the sad news that their
beloved daughter Bertha Ottille
died in Hanover, Germany, Sept
ember 18th. The young lady went
to Germany about six years ago to
be educated, and was about thir-
teen wears old at the time OF her
demise. She was child of rare
loneliness and a JOY to her relatives
and friends.

left but the climate and

the vast area of land here and
the possibilities of its cultiva-
tion by farmers it might be
we'll for the Government to de-
wise plan for inducing dis
satisfied farmers in the West
and Northwest to settle here
in country where crops are
not retarded by frosts and
billiards. There are men with
families on farms inWisconsin,
Minnesota and Dakota who
work and work and work and
manage to get crop once In
three years. 1t is folly for
anyone to believe those people
are satisfied. It is all
work with them and no
play; they contribute toward
the schools and every
thing else that is beneficial
to their community without
having more than a chance to
live in return. A majority of
these farmers own 100 acres
| of land and there is not one of
them but what can raise bet
ter crops and be happier on 40
acres of Hawaiian soil than
where he is with 100. What
the government should do is
to offer inducement of some
kind to actual settlers and to
bring the resources of the
country before them in a way.
that will attract their atten--
ton. The country has been
advertised extensively within
the last two years as place
for revolutionary scares and
the location of a volcano and
home of hula dancers. Farm
ers do not care to live where a
rife is a necessary article of
toilet nor do they wish to
camp on the edge of a Volcano.
Let the islands be advertised
as place where farmers may
settle and cultivate fruit,
coffee or cane advantageously
and we will have an influx of
people who will contribute to-
ward the support of our institu-
tions and who will patronize the
merchants. The time to do
this is now, when the farmer
is walling up his house with
earth to keep the cold out, and
packing in his winter firewood.
When these people have Ha-
wall brought directly to their
notice as a farming country
where they can go about in
their shirt sleeves twelve
months in a year and never
miss a crop they'll want to
come here and live.
Lots of them will bring their
farm machinery with them,
others who have heard of our
plows will wait until theyreach
here and get a Hendry Break
er. By the way, there
was a gentleman in here
from Maui the other day |
who has tried the Break
ers and he gave it as his opin-
ion that it is the strongest and
best plow he ever saw. He
wants more of them and that's
an indication of their worth. |

better means be found for dis

The practice Of chewing gum
is old. Our great grandfathers
used to be gum chewers. They
gathered the gum themselves
in the woods. But perhaps
you've tried chewing Spruce
gum" That was the olden
time gum. There wasn't any
better gum then. Life is too
short to chew any other sort
but BEEMAN's. It's up-to-date.
It's ready and chewable from
the start.
Mr.. Beeman says there is a
small amount Of pepsin in each
tablet. You know that pep
sin aids digestion. We have
customers who affirm that
their digestion has improved
since they have chewed BEE
MANS GUM.
Have you ever tried it? It's
a fve-cent experiment.
Give the children BEEMAN's
Gum. It's better for them
than candy; it's cheaper; it
won't upset their stomachs.

INDIGNITY TO AMERICANS

Canadian Revenue Cutter Seizes TWO
American Fishing Vessels.
SANDUsKY, Ohio, May 9.-Today off
Pelee island the Canadian revenue cut
ter Petrol, Captain Dunn commander,
captured two American vessels, the HisI-
tor and Leroy Brooks, and forty gentle
men from Cincinnati, Dayton, Spring
field and Decatur, Ill. who were fishing
for black bass.
The vessels were dismantled, placed
in charge of an armed crew and lowed
TO Amherstburg, Canada. The gentle-
men were afterwards released Great
excitement and bitter feeling is felt on
the islands for the insult, against the
Canadian officials.
News at Washington.
No complaint has been received by
the state department relative to the cap
ture by the Canadians, of two American
steamers, crews and passengers, who
were fishing in Lake Erie. 1t is assumed
that the parties were fishing on the
Canadian side of the boundary line,
where they had no right to be. as these
waters are under Canadian Jurisdiction,
according to the treaty of Client.
So while it seems that the arrest of
hook and line spOrtsmen smacks of per-
secution probably to recover inforners
fines, there does not appear to be ground
for protest, unless. as is thought not
probable, the arrests are made more
than three miles from shore.
