An Ice Bicycle.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The bicycle does not. go into complete re-
tirement even upon the arrival of winter
ice and STOW. In fact the bicycle will be
one of the big things on Ice during the
coming season. From the suggestion
thrown out by a boy who lashed an ordi-
nary skate to the front wheel of his safety,
and was enabled to make good time over
the surface of frozen lake, two enterpris-
ing young men in Chicago have invented
and patented an ice bicycle, and formed a
company for its manufacture.
With the first perfected model one of the
inventors made mile in one minute and
twenty seconds, and this can be improved
upon, the skill of the rider being the only
limit to the possibilities in the line of rec
ords The change from the normal bicycle
to the ice machine can be made in five
minutes. The rear tire is debated and the
toothed band Of steel tire slipped over 1t.
The tire is then inflated until the tension
is sufficient to hold the band firmly in
place.
The blade is hollow ground, rendering
lateral slipping impossible. The weight of
the machine remains unaltered. The de-
vice is quite cheap costing less than $40,
and for that reason cycling on Ice is sure
to become popular, if not the reigning fad
of the winter.

FROM SMILES TO TEARS,
Five Ladies' Show That the Simple
Penny Goes u, Long Way.


Penny Goes u, Long Way.
From the Boston Herald. q. 4
They were five in number-ladies, evil
dently-ard they boarded an electric car at
the fremont House. Possibly they intend
and as they occupied nearly one-half of
ed in the eyes of each.
Then the conductor entered This was
the signal for a simultaneous movement of
five bands for five handbags. Five tight
ening strings were loosened. five hands dis
appeared into uncertain depths. then five
pocket books came to sight.
Five bags were closed and five silver
pocket book clasps snapped Five nickels
did not appear The first lady rendered five
pennies and she did so she smiled. No.
= lady caught the infect ton and passed UP
five pennies.
Then the smile of No. l was a grin.
No. did the same, and five ladies
laughed. No. was somewhat unlucky.
and while she was poking numerous hair
pins hbbon samples and other bric-a- brac
which every lady carries in her pocket
book-in search of Der change No. fish
ed up her five pennies.
More laughter. somewhat increased.
Finally No. had to give it up. Three
pennies We're all she could find, and she
meekly rendered a quarter She received
her change Immediately. Every conductor
in Boston is pleased to receive pennies, be-
cause they are handy in making Il ange on
transfers This conductor did not forget 1t,
but he thought his opportunity had come.
and without hesitation he dropped the
twenty pennies into The dainty gloved hand
outstretched to receive them.
The laughter had ceased by this time.
No. got real mad and threatened to re-
port the conductor. He kindly gave her his
number, but she refused TO take it.
The quintet alighted at Park square.
Then the other passengers laughed.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The difference between a man and a wo-
man is never quite clearly defined as
when they quarrel. No matter how many
hundred times she has seen fit to forgive
his derelictions, If he once imagines he has
a grievance then the mountains are as
putty in comparison with his Immortality.
The past is all forgotten; no matter how
good she may have been to him or how
actually right she is in the present in
stance. he is going to assume a highly jul
dicial air that no amount of pleading can
alter until he gets good and ready to
change his mood.
The yielding, loving woman who over
looks mans faults and exaggerates his
virtues stands no sort of chance when the
high and mighty lord and master takes it
into his head to be indignant. The one mis-
take she has made, the one aggravating
circumstance she has been the cause of
creating, blots out all thoughts and men,
cries Of the hours, minutes and seconds
when she has sacrificed her own comfort
many a time In order to add to his enjoy
ment, and counting no trouble great If he
but repays her with a smile.

From the Chicago Post.

asked the stranger
'She amt woman" replied the native,
quickly.
Isn't woman!' exclaimed the stranger.
Not much she amt" returned the native
with conviction. ''She's lady"
mo doubt. no doubt" admitted the
stranger. Il have no desire to question her
right to the title. I presume she has all
the traits that are essential to a ladylike
character and has proven her worth when
ever occasion required"
You bet she has, said the native, with
pardoaable pride. why. she horsewhipped
a man day before yesterday"
"Horsewhipped himi For what?"
Jest to prove that shewas a perfect lady.
He had kinder doubted it, guess but you
bet We all know it now. There amt moth

a tendency to discourage critics. but seemed
dsinclined to go any deeper into the sub

On the maps OF the world you will find 1t not;

No narshaling troop, no bivouac song;
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh! these battles, they last so long
From babyhUod to the grave!
Yet, faithful still rs a bridge Of stars,

Fights on and on In the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-goes down.

And soldiers to shout and praise.

Were fought In these silent ways.

THE FERN INDUSTRY.
Extensive and Profitable Sale of the
Numerous Varieties.


From the St Louis Globe Democrat.
We learn from a Massachusetts paper
that about eight years ago gentleman In
that state thought that 1t would be profit
able to have picked and placed on the mar
ket some of the ferns which grow in abun-
dance in his neighborhood, and from this
modest beginning the business has grown
to such proportions that last year he dis
posed of 100000 ferns. Previous to 1856
the gathering of ferns in their natural
state was almost an unheard-of industry.
The few ferns put on the market were
raised in hot houses though a few florists
sent their men after wild ferns. But now
the Massachusetts ferns are shipped to
every state and almost every large city
in the country. and. strange as 1t may
seem. there has been no falling off in the
trade during the business depression, the
demand constantly exceeding the supply.
There are two varieties of marketable
ferns which always find a ready sale-the
delicate leafed fancy" and the coarser
dagger" fern. The season for gathering
and shipping the ferns Is from October l to
May l. Although now some two hundred
persons are engaged in fern picking, only
about sixty do it constantly. Good pickers
can earn from 81 to So day, while the pay
of others not so skllful in finding the nat
ural treasures amounts to only 81.
The ferns are brought in by the pickers,
tied in bundles of twenty-five each, and
~ cents thousand IS paiu LOT theli An
average amount of 81 day is paid the
pickers. The ferns not needed for imme-
date shipment are packed In low rooms,
containing each about 1.@O,O00 ferns.
There are eight buildings containing these
rooms The ferns are placed in beds of
10000 each, dry moss Is placed between
the layers, and the whole bed is covered
with wet moss. The greatest care and
daily watchfulness are needed to keep the
ferns from becoming heated. and thus
bleached or covered with white spots. The
ferns are Invaluable to the florists they
form a really essential groundwork for de-
signs, and they are also available for gen.
eral decorating.

7 DIDN'T MATERlALIzE,
That Outbreak Among the Natives
Last Night.
Police Force Keeps Hot on the Trail
and Breaks up Gathering
Four Arrests.

The spoils-seeking individuals
who have been abetting the natives
to an instruction came nearer re-
alizing from their work last night
than ever before.
Rumors have been rife since New
Years. At that time the natives
were warned by the agitators to
keep away from the saloons, and
the hour appointed for action after
the usual custom. New Year fes-
tivities, however, were too much for
the happy natures of the natives
and saki drowned all thoughts OF
an uprising.
At an early hour last evening an
unusual number Of natives were
noticed coming in from the outly-
ing districts. There was a marked
absence from the saloons.
At the Empire which is one of
the most popular resorts hardly q
native was to be seen after 10
o'clock.
Reports were constantly OohihS
in from the police of bands OF men
congregating in small knots Of five
or ak about the city.
At 1920 Captain Parker, who
had been with a scouting party in
the vicinity of Kakaako, sent four
natives to the police station under
the care of the mounted officers.
These men were found hiding
near the old kerosene warehouse.
Nearly all of them live in the Pa
lama district. The excuse offered
for being 80 far from home was that
they were going fishing. One of
the number is David Kahaleaahu,
an ex-policeman.,
When it became known that the
police were out in force there was a
general scattering, though natives
In squads Of three and four were
seen walking about the streets till
a late hour this morning.
The squads stationed about the
city anticipated being supplied
with arms from the Waimanalo.

ment were earnestly set forth. In 1868 she
published novel, entitled "Change Upon
Change" She achieved marked success
as lecturer
In 1928 Miss Faithful visited the
United States After third tour in
America in. 1928 she published book

Every Precaution Taken to Be in

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2.-Reports
from the Argentine Republic show that
there is very active war party which is
agitating the prospects of war with
Chile. The Argentine boundary commits
sioners have returned from Chile and re-
ported satisfactory progress, but the Argen-
tine press keeps up the talk of war, and
the report received here adds:
ain the present critical state of feeling
any such efforts on the part of our press or
of our public men are to be sincerely de-
plored; some street row in border town,
some petty insult to either of the national
flags, and we would see the experience of a
quarter OF a century ago repeated"
The Argentine Government seems to re-
gard hostilities as possible, and is taking
every precaution. The national guard
is arming and drilling and officers
have been dispatched to Europe to pur-
chase ornaments. A loan of $1,000 900 is
being considered to meet possible war ex-
penditures.
A report from Rosa Nosta says that a
popular outbreak is imminent, so much SO
that the Government has stationed the
monitor Ell Plata in the harbor ready for
action and the strategic points of the town
are nightly occupied by the forces.

They Dedicate Their First
Temple of Worship in
America.
A SKETCH OF THE EDIFICE.
Animated Services Of Song and
Speech in English and
Japanese.

An event that will be noted throughout
the civilized world was the dedication in
San Francisco yesterday of the first Meth
odist japanese church edifice in the United
States. Several church organizations exist
and some very effective evangelical work
has been done by the Presbyterians, Ad-
ventists and Methodists in this country,
yet no temple of worship was erected for
the japanese until the Methodists took
hold of the work with their usual vigor and
spirit. The result is beautiful house Of
worship on the south side of Pine street,
between Hyde and Larkin.
The ground, building and equipment OF
the church cost, according to the report of
the treasurer, $4,000. To pay off the en-
tire debt outstanding the sum of $1300must
be raised, and DIR. M. G. Harris, presiding
elder, announced that he intended to take
Bible in one hand and subscription
paper in the other and go to every Ameri-
can citizen of his acquaintance and extend
