1t was during the progress of the pic

Methodist Sabbath school of Hawville,
o. r.
Alkali Ike, who sings bass in the
choir, and Miss Lille Cusack, the So
prano, had wandered q short distance
from the scene of the festivities and
seated themselves on a moss covered log
which lay at the foot of tall tree.
The gallant's arm had strayed around
the maiden's slender waist and fingered
there apparently to the profound salts
faction Of both persons, and Isaac had
asked for the sixteenth time:
"Does 90 love me, Lillie?"

smuggling closer to him. 81 love you

"We'll soon seer' remarked Ike grim
ly, at the same time drawing his revolv-

above. I'm stir the varmint up little

At that instant reproachful voice
was heard proceeding from the canopy
of leaves above their heads:
''How long, o Lord, how long?"
"What the dew That is, who are
your" demanded Ike.
"All that remains of Hercules p.
Smith," was the reply. 81 was in
swimming before the picnickers came
and COW ate up the most of my clothes
before l noticed her. l chased her
through blackberry tangle, and then a
stray dog, that appeared to be mad,
chased me back again. Then the COM

more earnestly upon the great question
of the distribution Of wealth? You must
notice that there is a dangerous and
growing feeling of bitterness ON the part
Of poverty toward capital. Is there ever
likely to be just adjudication of this
question so that there will be no more
aggravated cases of wealth elbowing

life? How can we prevent the seques-

DROPS LIKE A FEATHER.

Mr.. Theo. H. Davies, well
known as a Royalist correspondent
in Hawaii, has again fallen into
print. This time Mr.. Davies could
find no straw man to do battle
with and in consequence has
dragged forth to political glory
some old lady, whom he character
ICES as madam, with deep respect
for your years, your devotion
and your candor in writing
to me, even anonymously" In
other words, Mr.. Davies is thank
full for the chance to air his anti
American sentiments over the in
discretion of some old lady, after
the average men of both political
sides have dropped Mr.. Theo. H.
Davies, his twaddle and his peri
odic pamphlets on Hawaiian
affairs.

The silent voices of succeeding ages,
Immortal tones of Justice, mercy, truth,
Recorded here within their speaking pages
The garnered wisdom both of age and youth.
To childhood's dreams they give matchess
glory,
Unknown to later, more prosaic times;
The fascinating page of fairy story,
The precious gift Of wondrous nursery
rhymes.
Books are life's early friends, bright, earnest
winning;
With added years the interest deeper grows,
And faithful, hopeful as ut life's beginning,
They gently cheer its feeble earthly close.
Multifold the lessons that they teach US
In business haunts, in earth's remotest nooks
Where kindred sympathy has failed to reach
us,
stanch at our beck are our beloved books.
They laugh to cheer hearts growing over
weary,
They smooth the burrows from the brow Of
Disperse the gloom from heavens chill and
dreary,
Inspire the dropping soul to praise and prayer
Books hold the past, far as old Time can take U.S.
And toward the future cast prophetic eyes;
Our sages are they, and they fain would make
Heroically good, divinely wise.
Along life's vale they scattered hope and glad
ness,
Nor asked return for all the wealth they
And from their treasures they will Gull with
sadness
A melancholy tribute for our grave.

ice, so did the steamboats, Of 20 and 40 years
ago qtruggle tor position in the public eye.
The point in contest was always that of
speed. In those days trade on the Missouri

ed the stream every season before July,
many Of them going as far as Fort Benton,
In Montana A boat that made this trip
and returned to ST, Louis In two months
without profit of $4,000 did poor bust

when one captain fixed the tariff there was
no other boat to be found that would offer
cheaper transportation. - Detroit Free

Tho fairest lilies droop at eventide,
The sweetest roses fall from Off the stem,
The rarest things on earth cannot abide,
And we are passing, too, away like them.
We're growing old.
We had our dreams-those rosy dreams Of
youth
They faded, and twas well. This after prime
Hath brought us fuller hopes, and yet, for
sooth,
We drop n tear now in this latter time
To think we're old.
We smile at those poor fances Of the past
saddened smile, almost akin to pain
Those high desires, those purposes so vast.
All, our poor hearts, they cannot come againl
We're growing old.
oldH Well, the heavens are old; this earth is,
too;
Old wine is best, maturest fruit most sweet.
Much have we lost, more gained, although tits
true
We tread lfe's way with most uncertain feet
We're growing old.
We move along and scatter as we pace
Soft graces, tender hopes on every hand.
At last, with gray streaked hair and hollow
face,
We step across the boundary of the land
Where none is old.

Let it be thoroughly understood
from this date on that under the
changed social and political con-
ditions any attempt at revival of
monarchical bad habits, either in
public or private, will be met with
open rebuke. The AdverhSer had
better stick to its sensations and
leave the STAR and the community
to take care Of the facts.

The principle which will perme-
ate the Convention tomorrow will
be that the annexation flag
shall never be lowered un-
til annexation is an &C
complished fact; and that, pend
ing the accomplishment Of Hawaii's
destiny, none but genuine anRcr0-
HOaists shall be put on guard.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-10-12

When the Convention meets to-
morrow annexation will be its key
note aud the party bugle to that
effect will be sounded at its open
ing. The edict has already gone
forth that none but annexationists
need apply for a seat at the Ameri-
can League hall tomorrow.

In spite of all the AdserhSer can
say or insinuate, the facts, now
we'll known, are such that the
respectable portion of the commun-
ity is very likely to side with the
STAR, in self-defense and for the
future protection of innocent wives
and daughters.

certain indecent happenings at the

of the social derelictions mentioned,
treats of the matter as if it was moi
informed of the facts or had no re

Perhaps the most fortunate politician
who ever lived in the matter Of legacies
was William Pitt, earl OF Chatham. In
consideration o. his services to the country,
the Duchess OF Marlborough left him leg

William Pynsent died, leaving the great
orator legacy of 5000 year. This for
time was quite unexpected, and Pitt never

Both the .AdverhSer and

social customs have passed for

Anger.

Anger.
Bride thy passionsl Anger is the sin
OF all the greatest; It leads up to deeds
Known only to the darkest hours of night;
II tempts the upright man to throw aside
His cloak of reason and 30 forth 10 dip
His hands in human blood; il covers up
The path where duty walks with steadfast feet,
II will not listen to the soft appeals
or maiden leveliness, or turn aside
From its fierce purpose when the dimpled
hands
or mercy are held up before its gaze.
II will not falter in its stubborn course
When old age counsels with great swelling
words.
II is the curse of youth and middle age,
OF gray haired men and women. 1t benumbs
The sensibilities of all alike.
IT'S only fit to live where madmen live,
Safe stalled behind the strongest prison bars.

Art.

Art is the child of Nature-yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mothers face,
Her aspect and her attitude,
All her majestic loveliness
Chastened and softened and subdued
Into more attractive grace,
And with human sense imbued.
He Is the greatest artist, then,
Whether pencil or pen,
Who follows Nature. Never man,
AS artist or as artisan,
Pursuing his own fantasies,
Can touch the human heart, or please
Or satisfy our noble needs,
AS he who sets his willing feet
In Natures footprints, light and fleet,
And follows fearless where she leads.

The cold fact is that with the

a chance for an "anti-annexa-

Some find work where some find rest.
And % the weary world goes on.
Isometimes wonder which Is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
often wonder why tits so.
Some wills faint where some wills fight;
Some love the tent, and some the field.
often wonder who are right
The ones who strive or those who yield.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife,
And SO through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless march, e thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed;
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash;
Some fall back where some move on;
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave.
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave.
