WITH THE q. \. X.

1t is an eloquent fact in confirmation
or proof of the age or permanency of
Americanism in Hawaii to note the
fourteenth annual Campfire gathering
of the local post of the Grand Army of
the Republic. There are many other
living signs and demonstrations just
as strong and typical, but this one is
particularly striking and appealing.
An organization or post of the q. A. r.
is somewhat of a novelty in a country
distant from the United States. But
it is monument to the idea that only
material space separates this country
and the great Republic. The senti-
ments of rule and the purposes and
conduct of government are identical.
1t is not at all unnatural that the
American coloring or flavor should eX-
list. 1t was brought here from the old
est portion of the land of its inception
and on account of its quality and
merit has never had any opposition.
sidered in the abstract alone if one
wishes, has made Roadway to the goal
of popularity here and the intent has
always been to have its influence only
for the best interests of those from
whom sympathy and assistance might
be expected. 1t is a pretty and patriot
ic thought to consider the G. \. Il.
as the nucleus about which all agreed
upon modern and equitable govern
for the people" may confidently rally.
The local post was fortunate with its
latest social in the personnel of its
guests. Prominent members of this
Government, .he American Minister

standing We're in attendance. Mr.. Will
lis, the envoy from Washington, was
extremely happy in his address, making

Spouse to the toast. "The President O.
the United States" In his presenta
ton of the view OF perfect union ant
accord in his own country was a ser
mon to those holding the destinies o
this nation in control. To those whC
will analyze the situation here mus
come the conviction that it is not diff
ficult matter to maintain beneficial
harmony until the international ques
ton now pending shall have been de
termined. The friction is largely i'm
aginary and wholly ineffective.

So far the citizens of Honolulu have
responded promptly to every appeal
of the kindergarten Society. \ re-
quest for funds to be expended in Pa
lama is now put forth. AS stated, there
are available the children, teachers
and building. If there is a l<indergar-
ten required anywhere in Hawaii. it is
in this district. Tots run half wild by
the score there. The streets, the rail
road yards and the byways are con
gested with youngsters. To do some
thing for them is not less than com
munity duty.

A NEW NATIONAL CHARACTER.

EX-Gov. ID. X. Francis, of Missouri,
the new United States Secretary of In
terror, is nearly forty-siX years of age,
having been born at Richmond, Madi-
son County, KY, October /, 1850. His
family having removed to st. Louis
his education was received in Wash
ington University, that city. In 1870
he graduated, receiving the degree of
b. A. His first employment was with
a grain commission house, continuing
until 1877, when he began business for
himself. In 1884 the d. r. Francis &
Brother commission house was estab-
lished, result of the growth of his
firm. That same year he became
President of the Merchants Exchange
A shrewd business man, with a firm
backbone, he became known through
out Missouri as one of the cleverest
manipulators on Change, and today
the firm of David r. Francis G. Bro. is
one of the wealthiest in the grain
commission line in the west, and has
unlimited rating.

purposes withoutany additional
fuel being required. This stove
is a four hole, handsomely

families, boarding houses, clubs,

most approved principles for
rapid cooking and convenience.
At the back and above the
stove is a large shelf running
the entire width Of the stove
where can be placed articles
that you wish to keep warm
The pipe passes up through
the center of this shelf thus
insuring a good steady heat al

Noveltiesin household goods
draw customers to the up-to-

One of the woes of the

the can used to hold kerosene

she finds the floor discolored

A holiday is about the right
time to give your stomach
something to do; not the over
loading business, but some good
solid work that takes a person
nearly up to the dyspepsia line
without running over.
In the selection of goods for
the table something beside
quantity is needed, often the
name of a maker on label will
sell the goods. Then again
the label on some goods will
relegate them to the garbage
heap. But we don't keep that
sort, ours are the best in every
respect.
We've some new things this
week to offer you, some things
that will go well at any meal,
and they are offered at prices
low enough to carry them into
the homes of every class of
our citizens.
A complete list would re-
quire more space than we have
contracted for and a partial
one will not half express it.
Take what we can give you and
draw on your imagination for
the balance:
