TERRIBLE LUCK.
One by One His children Went Back o.

One Dy One MS tnnuren went BACK or
Him.
A gentleman WHO was rusticating in the
northern part of New Hampshire took
tramp along the hills one day recently. In
passing Inside farm he saw an aged
granger hoeing very stony potato field
near his house, and the gentleman stopped
TO converse with him.
Your potatoes seem to be doing well'"
he started In.
"ob, I reckon I'll hev few pertaters,"
rejoined the farmer drily, as he stopped
hoeing the rocks off the vines and glanced
at the stranger curiously from under the
wide brim of his weather beaten straw hat.
"Other crops goodw
"Oh, the crops is jest toler'ble, as usual,
| s'pose," replied the farmer indifferently
as he came up to the rail fence, dragging
his hoe after him. "But III tell yer Jest
how tits, squire" he continued confiden-
TALLY. "Im the most unfortunit ole crttei

young uns."
"Children turned out bad, chr"

him for Dan'l Webster an give him good
eddcation-he's boss doctor; practical on
my old mare, an she died. Zeke went inter
what they call the green goods business
keeping grocery store, | s'pose-but he
busted up, an he writes me that he's now
workin In a place called Sing Sing; says
he's got good stiddy job, but the pay amt
good, and he's alters wantin to borror a
dollar from me. Sam an Hi went ter brak-
in on the railroad, an | had ter pay the
funeral expenses of both of 'em. Maria
Ann got married to drummer at the
county fair last fall, an went up In a bal
loon, but they came down safe an hev
ben honeymoonin with me IN the old wo-
man ever since. Lily, my youngest, amt
with her keep, an she's a-teasin me to buy
her bysuckle-me, who hain't laid eyes on
a 81 bill sence the war. | tell ye stranger,
| Pm the most unfortint old critter with my
young uns that ever lived" he groaned.
"You certainly have had bad luck with
| your children"
~ should say | had. Now, there's Bill
| Durkee up ter Coebrook, he's had the
greatest luck with his. They supports him
in good style, an Bill hain't done a stroke

"All smart and steady, chr"
THAT'S where you miss it, squire. They
amt any on UNI taken that way"
"How is it they get along so well, them"
"They are all freaks and have all go,
good stiddy jobs the year round. Sal

mendous long hair, an his oldest boy was
born without legs. An here be withou,

back to his hoeing. Boston Journal.

New Brickmaking Machine.

A new brick baking machine is to be
noted among the recent mechanical novel
ties. 1t is u simple continuance, consisting
of a table covered with iron brick molds,
to which an electric current is applied, the
table being 8 by IA feet, and holding 1000
molds, joined together like pigeon holes.
Each mold is the size of a brick which has
been pressed but not baked, and each has q
cover SO fitted AS to follow the brick as it
shrinks. The bricks are taken from the
presses and placed in the molds. the cover
adjusted and the current turned on. The
iron sides of the molds form the resist
ance," and the bricks are virtually inclosed
by walls of fire. The bricks having shrunk
to the proper size, the sinking covers OF
the molds automatically turn off the cur
rent, the baking is done, and the bricks are
dumped.-New York Sun.

Jane Jones.
Jane Jones keeps a-whsperin TO ME all the time.
An says; why don't you make 1t a rule
To study your lessons, an work hard an learn,
An never be absent from SCHOOL,
Remember the story Of Elihu Burrltt,
How he clumb mp to the top
Got all the knowledge AT he ever had
Down In the blacksmithin shop"
Jane jones she honestly said 1t was so.
Mebbe he did, dunno.
Course what's a-keepin me way from the ton
Is not never havin no blacksmithin shop.
She said at Ben Franklin was awfully poor,
But full of ambition an brains,
An studied philosophy all his hull life
An see what he got for his pains.
He brought electricity out of the sky
With a kite an the lightnin an key,
SO we're OWN him more'n any one else
Fer all he bright lights at we see.
Jane Jones she actually said 1t was 30.
Alebbe he did, dunno.
Course whis alters been hinderin me
1t not hav1 any kite, lightnin or key.
Jane Jones said Columbus was out at the knee,
When he first thought up his big scheme,
An all of the Spaniards an Italians, too,
They laughed an just said twas a dream
But Queen Isabella she listened to him
An pawned all her jewels Of worth
An bought him the Santa Marier an said,
go hunt up the rest Of the earth.r
Jane Jones she honestly said 1t was SO.
Mebbe he did dunno.
Course that may all be, but you must allow
They amt any land to discover just now.

Just What
We Expected

That extra IS per cent. dis
count last week hunted up the
judicious buyers and there was
a decided movement in our
stock.
Now, it was not the PRICES
alone that sold these goods, it
was the factor that caused
buyers to look at them. to exa
mine into the durability and
finish, when that was done, then
the prices did the rest.
We claim that we are always
IS per cent. lower than any
other house in Honolulu. Don't
take our word for it; convince
yourself by examining our
STOCK and PRICES. You
will find our stock the LAR.
GEST and as we say our prices
the LOWEST.

CHOCK LOOK,
Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
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 a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at 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 complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
! very latest designs in chandeliers.

All, who can tell? My life is nearly run,
And DER Its trodden path grim shadows
lower.
InOw can see many rare, sweet flower
OF opportunity l might have won,
But left ungathered. My early manhood's sun
Is dark eclipsed. Where'er turn l see
No beacon; no star Of rest shines out for me
To light the past and do the things undone.
No hopel But oh, Nepenthe's sweetest rest
Somewhere, or near or far, shall come to me
In great oblivion's moveless, deepest sea,
When l. with hands embodied on my breast,
Shall sleep the dreamless sleep that knows
no morrow,
That knows no hope, no fear. no pain, 10
sorrow.

AT Her Loom.
While the water crosses slumber,
While the birds are few In number,
Spring is busy at her loom,
Weaving for the time of bloom;
For the trees, IA bright green awning,
For the time OF vernal dawning;
With warp Of living green,
With weft of fowery sheen,
Bright the wreaths to deck her pillow
Hanging from the oak and willow
Soon her robes of living green
In their beauty will be seen.
Watch the swiftness Of her fingers
Weaving, where the sunlight fingers
In the messy meadow nook,
BY the gently purling brook.
Soon Well see the sweet unwilling
OF the pink arbutus trailing;
Then the snowdrops will peep up
And the yellow butteroup-
When the days are soft and hazy-
Smile beside the nodding daisy,
And her shuttle she will ply
Meath a sunny, azure sky,
TIL her welt and warp she closes
With the blooming Of the roses.

Wishin for you-wonderin when

Restless, don't know what to do

Empty by the fireplace there;
Jes' can't stand the sight Of It'll
Go outdoors an roam bit.
But the woods is lonesome, too
Jes' a-wearyin for you!
Comes the wind, with soft caress,
Like the rustlin of your dress;
Blossoms fallin to the ground,
Softly, like your footstep sound;
Violets like your eyes so blue
Jes' a-wearyin for you'll
Mornin comes; the birds awake;
Use to sing so for your sake
But there's sadness in the notes
That come thrillin through from

Seem to feel your absence, too

When the dark glooms in the door;
Seems jes' like you orter be

My Creed.
hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen; that when
We climb to heaven tits on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else named piety
selfish schema n vain
Where center is not, can there be
Circumference?
This /, moreover, hold, and dare
Affirm where'er my rhyme may go,
Whatever things be sweet or fair,
Love makes them so.
Whether II be lullabies
That charm to rest the nursing bird,
Or that sweet confidence of signs
And bushes made without a word.
Whether the dazzling and the flush
OF softly sumptuous garden bowers
Or by some cabin door bush
OF ragged flowers.
Tis not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, nor stated prayers,
That make us saints; we Judge the tree
By what 1t bears.
For when man can't live apart
From works on theologic trust,
know the blood about the heart
Is dry as dust.

Having Nothing, Yet Hath All.
How happy is he, born and taught
That serveth not anOther's will,
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill;
Whose passions not his masters are;
Whose soul is still prepared for death,
United unto the worldly care
OF public fame or private breath;
Who envies none that chance doth raise,
Or vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise,
Nor rules of state, but rules of good;
Who hath his life from humors freed,
Whose conscience is his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither fatterers feed
Nor ruin make accusers great;
Who God doth late and early pray
More of his grace than gifts to lend,
And entertains the harmless day
With we'll chosen book or friend.
This man Is freed from servile bands
OF hope to rise or fear to fall
Lord Of himself, though not of lands,
And having nothing yet hath all.
