SINGLE MEN.
Visited Electric Works.

On Friday afternoon of last week
the Hawaiian Electric Company very
kindly extended to the students of Ga
hui College the privilege of inspecting
their entire plant, including the dyna-
mo-electric machines, the steam en-
gines, steam pumps, boilers and ice
plant. Students were permitted to go
anywhere they pleased, and in addition
were conducted through all the rooms
of the refrigerating plant, where the
temperature was far lower than any
hitherto experienced by those who
had passed their lives thus far only in
the Hawaiians Islands.
Professor ingalls, and the class in
physics of Oahu College feel extremely
grateful for the kindnesses shown
them on this occasion.

The first pull between the U. S. S.

between the Pakakas and Moanaluas,
the latter won in 20 minutes.
There was to have been a pull be-

A Kindly Deed.

A writer tells us of lady who was
travelling from Providence to Boston
with her weak minded father. Before
they arrived there he became possessed
of fancy that he must get off the train
while it was still in motion; that some
absolute duty called him. His daughter
endeavored to quiet him, but it was
difficult to do it. and she was just giving
up in despair when che noticed very
large man watching the proceedings in
tently over the top of his newspaper.
AS soon as he caught her eye he rose
and crossed quickly to her.
+" | beg your pardon" he said, ''you
are in trouble. May help your"
She explained the situation to him.
What is your fathers manner" he
asked.
She told him, and with an encourage
ing smile bent over the gentleman who
was sitting in front of her and said a
few words in his ear. With smile the
gentleman arose, crossed the isle and
took the vacant seat, and the next mo.
ment the large man had turned over the
seat, and leaning toward the troubled
old man. had addressed him by name,
shaken hands cordially. and engaged
him in a conversation so interesting and
so cleverly arranged to keep his mind
occupied that he forgot his need to
leave the train, and did not think of
itagain until they were in Boston. Here
the stranger put the lady and her
charge into carriage. received her as.
surance that she felt perfectly safe. had
cordially shaken her hand. and was
about to close the carriage door when
she remembered that she had felt SO
safe in the keeping of this notebook
ing man that she had not even asked
his name. Hastily putting her hand
against the door, she said
Pardon me, but you have rendered
me such service, may not know whom
| am thanking?"

HORSES,

1t may not be in the line of progress
to raise mules, but it pays, and that
is what the breeder is after. The BUSH
ness is carried on chiefly in Missouri,
Texas and Tennessee, and the whole
South is market.
While the electric cars and the bicycle
have thrown out of use hundreds of
thousands of small and medium sized
horses, there are no indications that the
strong draft horse has found a Compel
itor. We do not believe that he ever
will find such thing.
In the English market the general
purpose horse has no place; they breed
for special uses only, and, therefore the
business is uniformly profitable. The
element Of chance is eliminated, and
when they begin they know just what
they expect to obtain.
The dirt and sweat which accumulate
on the horse during the day should
never be allowed to remain on him over
night. No dumb animal of it's own vo
lition pursues the habit of the tramp.
1t is we'll enough to sell off the best
geldings when it can he done to advan-
tage, but with the mares-well, it is a
step which should be considered very
deliberately.
There is positively demand for good
horses which will pay the producer
well. When any one denies this you
may be pretty sure that he is not pro
ducing good special purpose animals.
1t is we'll to care for mares in foal
during the winter. but there is such a
thing as coddling them too much and
making them tender. The foal will re-
quire just about the same treatment as
the mother has received. A sheltered
place, with privilege to run out and in,
is better than close confinement in a
warm, close stable.

Selected Story.
MISS CROPSEl'S FORTUNE.
RY ANGELINA W. WRAY
BY ANGELINA W. WRAY.
[From Harper's Bazar.l

TIME table was spread for tea in
i the small sitting-room. A vase
of yellow leaves stood in the centre
OF the snowy cloth. Miss Cropsey
and her father smiled at each other
in quiet happiness.
"How strange it seems to sit down
and not feel worried about to-mor-
row" she said, stroking the leaves
gently. This is real apple pie,
father; none of your bread and apple
sauce, with their tantalizing sugges-
tions of better things. Ever since |
was child I've been making believe
have things I never had. Mother
used to say, Now, Hubby, shut your
eyes and imagine you have what you
want but l never could make believe
hard enough"
"She was a master cheerful band,
mother was" the old man assented.
1--WE amt nuther on us nigh so
CHEEKY. She al'ays had hard road
to travel, too. Wish she could see
US SO chirklike, do"
Don't think of it, father. Don't
let'e worry over anything. Do you
like the honey7 See how clear it is!
You can almost see the summer and
the sunshine in it, and hear the hum
ming of the great yellow bees. It's
little bit of the county right here in
the dingY town. And to think we
can have it again tomorrow and the
next day if we like, and care nothing
for the cost. That need never trouble
us again. Amt you happy, father9"
A little flush stole into his withered
cheeks. He ran his trembling fingers
through his thin white hair and
laughed tremulous laugh. Miss
Cropsey watched him with eyes full
of love.
Mrs. Fummerson, one of the
neighbors, bad come in to congratu-
late them. She stood for a moment
in the doorway, gazing at the little
picture.
Dear! dearl how pleased you
lookp she exclaimed. The door
stood open, so came right in.
was never one to stand on ceremony,
you know. Why, Mr.. Cropsey, you
look ten years younger. I'm so glad
it's all true. You've sold that old
mine, then, and really have the
money! Folks 'ain't made no mis-.
take about iti"
