drug stores. Over StretZ's rooms, cor

in families and households than in
business. If may be personal with

very charming society young lady
when i first came to this country, and
no one of Commodore Paty's children
was married. The Judds' household
was broken by two deaths only, and

The Dimond family, unbroken except
by the death OF Mrs. Stangenwald,

there were but three, small algeroba
trees on all the plain from the foot
hills of Tantalus to the sea- There
were three fine, large algeroba trees
on the makai side of King street at
Judge McCully's at Pawaa, planted
by Mr.. Kinney, the former owner of
that piece of land. The father of the

grounds. During the rainy months
of winter the kikanias covered the
plains with an extraordinary growth,
so high almost TO conceal man on
horseback, and the burrs were pest
to owners of horses. Beretania street
was then only a road running mauka
or makai, as the going was better
here and there, never made and never
mended, and with no dwelling house
on it from Punchbowl street to Miss
Ogden's. King street was white,
binding road, shut off by a fence at
Mr.. McCully's place. The plain was
unfenced and used as a highway
wherever travellers chose to go.
Politically the changes have been
very great. In thirty years only
