Mr.. JUSTICE sKIPpIE.
How He Got the Baseball Mask He HAD
Coveted for q Long Time.

now nc tot the bnsebali Mask He na0
Coveted for Long Time.
Most of the boys enyied 'Slxippie" be-
cause his father owned the house he
lived in, and back of II was large yard
They all called him "Slxippie" because
his full name was Samuel Carl Iyers
Partridge, and anyone will admit that

Skippie had deep red hair and freclxles
all over his jolly face. He was chunky
and. il the truth must be told, rather
lazy. But he could play baseball and
had enough curves TO puzzle any bats
man. Put baseball in Skippie's hand
and his laziness vanished as rapidly as
did the pumpkin pie when Skippie and
his chum orawled through the pantry
window.
Skippie hated the back yard that
so much delighted the other boys. IL
had small flower garden in IL and
plenty of good grass, with posts here
and there for the clothesline. The coal
shed was built up against the back
fence, and the barn filed in the rest OF
the alley side OF the yard. Skippie was
expected TO keep that back yard clean,
den and split the wood. His mother
used up heap OF kindling wood, Skip
pie thought, and IL seemed to him that
he did nothing all day long but go to
school. wash his face and split wood.
But there was one jolly thing about
the back yard. 1t was the gathering
place for the boys OF the neighborhood,
and once in awhile. when they wanted
Skippie in ball game, they pitched In
and helped him split kindling wood.
One Saturday Billie Banks climbed
over the woodshed and found Slxippie
sharpening brand-new ax. He begged
to be allowed TO help. Skippie turned
the AK over to him and sat down on q
starch box to watch him. About the
time that Billie had given the AK
sharp edge Tom Johnson appeared, and
he wanted TO sharpen the AK. Then
Jack Young came along. and one boy
after another held that new AK to the
grindstone until IL had been given n
dozen different kinds of edges.
All this time Skippie was sitting on
the starch box enjoying himself and
thinking harder than he had ever

she rose TO her feet, and picking up her
linen robe, crept toward the entrance
TO the cave, where she put on her gar

How Nolse-Producers May BE Made from

This is the season when every boy
may have a whistle, and one that will
make noise enough to suit the most ex-
acting youngster. The whistles may
be made from a short slip cut from a
willow tree or twig when the sap is
working upward from the roots be-
tween the bark and wood of the tree.
The season ends when the trees are in
full leaf. In that period of n few weeks
millions upon millions of whistles are
made by the boys who live on farms
and in villages from one end of the
country to the other In the New Eng

whistles is the alder. This bush lines

Rumors of Russian domination
in Corea have some confirmation
in vernacular paper of Osaka,
Japan. 1t learns that the Russian
Government has signed a secret
convention with the Corean Gov
eminent in which the latter pledges
that it will not open Mokpo for
foreign trade, nor allow any other
country to construct telegraph
lines in the interior, nor grant a
charter for construction of rail-
way between Seoul and Chemulpo,
without first obtaining the appro-
baton of Russia.

From published report it is
seen that there has been a large
increase the past year in both the
passenger and freight traffic of
the Oahu Railway. Lately it was
noted in this paper that the Cir
cult Court, after an exhibit made
OF the company's business, prompt
ly gave its approval of the invest
ment Of trust funds in bonds of
ths road. The voice of the croak-
er, which sounded high at the
opening of the railway a few years
ago, is now very low in the land.
Railways even in these small ISL
anis develop business for them
selves. When this road is pushed
along until it makes the circuit of
Oahu, there will accompany it
d 'veIopment of now latent re-
sources which will astonish the
Inhabitants.

Some weeks ago this paper gave
the news that the medical inspec-
ton of vessels in Japan, which
was part of Hawaii's protection
from the introduction of epidem-
les, had been stopped. A paper
received by the Kinshiu's mail
gives the reason for the stoppage,
which is the gratifying fact that
the black plague has disappeared.

States for professional study Of
teaching is by our Inspector Gen.
eral, Mr.. H. S. Townsend, and was
copied from the Progressive Edu-
Gator. This goes to show that
some of our teachers take high
rank educationally.
Two life certificates were earned
at the last teachers examination.
One by Vice Principal Lightfoot
OF the High School and one by
Principal Abbott of Lahainaluna.
We understand that the standing
of Mr.. Farmer would have given
him one but that he had lacked
some of the years of experience
necessary. This is a very credit
able showing when we remember
that heretofore only one life certi-
ticate has ever been earned. 1t is
moreover no light task to average

The holidays are approach
ing at the rate of a day every
twenty.four hours; and this is
the month when children fix
their attention on literature in
which Santa Claus takes a
leading part, and wives and
daughters allow theirs to
dwell on the old gentleman's
purse. An old lady was once
asked the age when girls gave
up playing with dolls and the
answer came back, "When
they have children of their
own So it is about Santa
Claus; children give him up
as the mythical when they are
old enough to realize a flesh
and blood Santa Claus in their
father. IF 1T happens to be a
girl she will cling to the old
gentleman until she happens
to win a Santa Claus who
will be her individual property.
1t is with these flesh and
blood Santa Clauses that we
wish to whisper. On the
Australia which arrived last
week, there were several large
cases of solid silver ware for
US. In turn we will dispose
of it to Santa Claus. We will
have no difficulty in doing this
as the assortment is from four
OF the largest and best factories
in the United States. You
will have an opportunity to
view the goods later.

II Timely Topics

TIVATORS.

We want to call attention
for a few days to three ma
chimes suitable for sugar land
cultivation.
FirSt-Avery'S "MALLON"
STUBBLE DIGGER, the peer OF
all sugar land implements. The
superiority of this machine
over all similar ones is EVIL
denced by the fact that until
this season the manufacturers
have been unable to supply
the demand for them. Their
features of absolute merit are
as follows:
(a-MetaI wheels with re-
movable hubs.
(b)-Solid steel teeth.
(c)-Great strength with
lightness of draft.
(d)-ImproVed flanges with
movable teeth.
Avery's "MALLON" lMPROV-
ED STUBBLE SHAVER. This
has lately been greatly i'm
proved and now runs on four
wheels in the furow. The
knives can be raised or lower
ed with ease, with one lever,
without stopping the team.
Can be regulated to shave at
any depth. The knives are
protected by shields, so that it
is impossible for the mules to
be cut by them. There is no
weight on the mules necks.
This Shaver can be turned as
short as a cart and is light
draft for two mules.

struction, strong, durable, light
draft, easily operated and
understood. 1t has the re-
Volving sectional discs, which
work on each side of the row,
thoroughly cutting and pull
verizing the soil. The desired
quantity of dirt thrown to the
plant is regulated by changing
the angle of discs on the drag
bar. The operator can pass
rapidly over the crop without
the trouble heretofore ex-
perienced by moist earth stick
ing to the discs, cleaners being
attached to the axle, which
effectually prevents the discs
from clogging.
These three valuable planta-
ton implements are now in
use at the Pepeekeo, Onomea
and Wainaku plantations and
we shall be pleased to show
testimonial letters from the
managers as to their respective
merits.
To intending purchasers we
would say that the prices of
these machines have been ma
terially reduced this season.
We keep them in stock.
