in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
teman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
want it done at e once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and / take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Chicago Herald.
1t Was the last year OF the war, and the
citizens OF Montgomery were in almost
daily dread of raid from the Union troops
who We're then overrunnng Northern Ala
Oama.
At that time there was an old man
named Belcher, who gave his secession
neighhors considerable trouble Bclchcr
was a stout old Eugishman, with bald
head and side whiskers, and while he was
not ouispokcr it was believed that he was
IA Union sympathizer.
When the raiders were expected a home
guard was organized. and the able bodied
men between the ages of 10 and 60 were
drilled every afternoon so that they would
be IN readiness for the enemy.
Very few refused to join the home
guard. In fact. 1t would have been danger
GUS to hold back when public sentiment
was practically solid on one side.
Bu, the Bri,isher was an exception. He
was a sturdy blacksmith, and despite his
nifty odd years he was more than match
for the average man. Yet, while his inter
ests were in Montgomery. he declined Ia
shoulder his gun in defense of the city. He
was notified several times TO attend the
lrtll. but he paid no attention tn the sum

post decided to overawe him and brighten
him into obedience.
