PLANT ASPARAGUS.
Mr.. Allan Herbert Tells How to
Raise it Successfully.

= he public should be very grateful
to Mr.. Allan Herbert fer the pointers
on horticulture he has already given
out, and for the promise that he WILL
from time to time, give TO the public
through the columns of this paper, the
results which he has gained through
many years of experience on the Isl
ands. His article on sunfowers caused
a general call for this at once beauu-
full and wholesome plant, and people all
over the city have taken TO planting 1t
in their yards.
Mr.. Herbert has the following to say
about asparagus, that delicious vege-
table that people generally think can
not be grown on the Islands:
why not have an asparagus BED
This delicious and wholesome plant
will grow luXuriOusly on the Islands,
and, when once it's merits are fully
known, will become a staple article IN
the form of a luxury for our tables.
For the past 20 years have planted 1t
with success at both Waikiki and ka-
lihi, and l cannot express the untold
pleasure and comfort it has given my
family, my friends and myself.
IF you are the pOssessOr Of piece OF
ground as large as a cellar door, by all
means have an asparagus bed. 1t will
last you 20 years and more when once
planted.
Hard to plant? No; it is as easy to
grow as sugar cane or corn. In the cat
alogues from the East you read about
'trenching and 'manuring.' This is
only necessary where there are long
winters and the ground is cold in the
spring.
why do people not succeed with as
paragus here? Simply because the
methods recommended in the Eastern
catalogues are followed. For instance,
these catalogues say: PLANT in May
or early June Now, the difference in
time of, say New York and Honolulu,
is about five hours. An allowance of
one month to an hour, in advance of
the time mentioned in a New York
catalogue is necessary. January will
then be the month to plant in.
81 am willing at any time to tell peo-
pie who desire information when and
how to plant and how to procure seeds
and plants.
cit might be we'll to remember that
you can have asparagus here for six
months, whereas, in the East you can
only have it for as many weeks"

CYCLING NOTES.

the cranks are much shorter than us

pedal, have at the end a small roller
fitted into slot in long lever, which
has for a fulcrum a stud attached 10

KATIE PUTNAM
AS Little Nell and the Marchiners
TONIGHT

Tonight.
Probably there never was a story
told that created the profound interest
among all classes of readers that Chas
Dickens immortal work, "The Old Gu
riosity Shop" did, nor is there great
er diversity of character study to be
found on the pages of any book.
There the humorous, cruel Quilp; the
sychophantic, fawning Brass; his sis
ter, the masculine Sally; jolly, rollick-
ing, whole-souled, drunken Dick Swiv-
Ter, whose wise saws and pholosophic
remarks will not be forgotten when
time ceases and eternity begins; and
Little Nell-dear, patient, noble Little
Nell. Her devotion to that other child
of Dickens creatiOn-pOor, lettering
Grandfather Trent-the glorious tie of
love that bound these two children to-
gether-One fresh from the angels
hands, with the world and it's ambi-
lions before her-the other on the
verge of the grave, with the world and
it's vanities behind.
1t is said that when Little Nell died
all England wept. What greater tri
butte could be paid to the master mind
that created her-the child of his i'm
agination-and clothed her in the robes
of Immortality. And the Warehouses
the little Marchioness. A sprite-a
fairy-full of good nature song and
mirth-always merry, always chipping,
whether playing the banjo, singing a
song or nursing poor Dick in his sick
ness. And they will be at the Opera
House on Saturday night, when Katie
Putnam, assisted by her merry players,
will produce her own dramatization ,of
Charles Dickens "Old Curiosity Shop"
Miss Putnam will appear in the dual
roles Of Little Nell and the Marchio-
approximations in which she has
found great favor in all parts of the
world. And once, in Melbourne. Aus
tralia, Charles Dickens, Jr., was in the
audience. At the close of the perform
ance he went behind the scenes and
congratulated her on her success. He
said: ''My father immortalized Little
Nell and the Marchioness-and Little
Nell and the Warehouses will yet i'm
mortalize you"
Incidental to the play, Miss Putnam
will introduce some banjo playing and
a number of new songs and dances.

THREE MONTHS.
Judge Wilcox Sentences Fx.Pat-
rOlmen COnley and Hewitt.


''Three months imprisonment at
hard labor" said Judge Wilcox yester-
day, as he bade ex-Patrolmen Conley
and Hewitt stand up and hear their
sentence. Patrolmen Cornwell and
Giles were released from custody, as
there was nothing to show that they
had taken part in the assault upon the
two natives. In summing up the case,
Judge Wilcox said that the duty of the
patrolmen was clearly to preserve the
peace. Instead of doing this, they had
done one of the very things they were
employed to stop. Kukalahiwa and the
other native battered by the patrolmen,
were present in court and told the story
of how they had been set upon and
beaten. Attorney Humphreys, who ap-
peared for defendants, did not set UP
any defense, and when the sentence

was imposed by the Court. gave notice

nervous tread. He determined to GO
down to the heart of the woods and
bring Rachel home. One or two servants
accompanied him, bearing lanterns.
A thin mist had dulled the sky and
hidden the stars. They walked in abso-
lutte silence, and the night was like a
huge empty house in which their foot
steps echoed.
Fear was upon them, and a sense OF
something terrible impending made
them WAIVER betwixt eagerness to 60 for
ward and dread of what they were to
come upon. On the edge of the wood
lands the old man paused and cried
''Rachell RACHEL"
A dull echo was the only answer, and
they moved Oh i'll the direction Of the
glade. Once again the old man raised
his voice and called upon his daughter:
.'Rache1! RachelY
But she answered to that call an hour
earlier, when her lover came to meet
her in the glade, at the moment of his
death across the seas. She was sitting
under the great tree where they had
spent their last hours in life together.
The radiant smile had not yet gone from
her lips, o was there any horror in
the eyes that stared across the glade and
down the woodland path by which he
had sworn to come when he was free
