The next meeting of Windham County
Pomona grange will be held in jackson
Vile June l.. The program indicates that
an interesting meeting may be expected,
and it is hoped there will be a large at
tendance.
The regular meeting of Protective grange
was held Wednesday evening. After the
usual business hour the subject of Free
Distribution OF Seeds by the govern
ment, was taken up and discussed by every
member present. The feeling of nearly all
was that the farmer is not receiving much
benefit from the present method of distri-
button. Also that the farmer is response
bic by not reporting TO the government the
results Of experiments made with seeds
coming from that source. 1t was the
opinion of some that the experiment sta
tons throughout the country could do
more good than the farmer himself, by
making experiments with government
seeds and then recommending such seeds
to farmers through their bulletin that
had proven of value after thorough trial at
the stations, Vocal music was rendered
during the evening by the choir. Not
withstandDg the severe storm a goodlv
number were present and one Of the most
enjoyable as well as instructive meetings of
the year was the result.

UNCERTAINTIES hou CeFN"1uys
The attention of the public is
now fully occupied and diverted
in the consideration and discus
sion of several important current
and prospective happenings. An
nexation, as yet insecure, Re
ciprocity threatened; the coming
of the Naniwa, and her mission
after arrival; the outcome of the
war between Greece and Turkey
and, whether or no, all Europe
will eventually become involved;
the settlement of the quarantine
squabble-are all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
while opinions are freely offered,
none can accurately foretell the
outcome of any Of these matters.
Nevertheless, it is becoming more
apparent, as each day passes, that
Buffalo and Hoffbrau are the

ages can be depended upon, and
that they will, as heretofore, be
dispensed at the Royal, Pacific
and Cosmopolitan Saloons, and
that the interchangeable check
system is an established fact.

TREATY REVISION.

treaty with japan. The states
men and other intelligent people
of Japan will see the reasons fast
enough, if they study the situa-
ton of these islands with minds
free from covetous ideas. This
country simply cannot assimilate
the japanese into it's civic popula.
ton for the present. There are
three languages now required for
public discussion of political
questions when the people are
called on to elect their houses of
legislation. Surprising Japanese
were entitled to the franchise on
exhibiting the literary as we'll as
other qualifications, for long
time to come there would be
majority in thousands OF that

small number of their country.

sisting of headstrong aliens with
out votes, debating the vote of
the Japanese electors, and
these electors might hold
the balance of power. Repre-
sentative government in the true
sense would be impossible under
such conditions. Apart from the
question of the franchise alto
gether, however, Hawaii might
not long be able to maintain its
presently existing institutions if
the Japanese continued to pour in
at the rate that has been seen for
the past few years. Numbers
must tell in peaceful as we'll as in
warlike invasion. Slight dis
putes over questions of individu-
al rights, in isolated cases even,
might easily grow into serious
differences between the authori-
ties and the mass of the Japanese
throughout the group as whole.
The recent uprising of Chinese
laborers against a license tax i'm
posed by the Municipality Of the
Foreign Settlements of Shanghai
furnishes an example of what
might happen in these islands any
day even now. Many similar cpl.
sodes have arisen in connection
with the rule of European minori-

HE CHARGED.

Hans, who were holding back the
hounds. 1t was a critical moment while
the boar stood at bay. To reach my
rifle before the boar would be upon me
was clearly impossible, and there was
nothing for me to do but to stand my
ground and await the onslaught of the
enraged and ferocious brute, rendered
doubly savage by the wound in his
chest. As he stood cycling me with his
small, blood-shot eyes, he seemed to
become aware of an enemy in his rear,
and, turning, he charged like a flash
upon the unfortunate Hans, upsetting
him and ripping one of his boots almost
off, the impetus of his headlong charge
carrying him beyond his intended VIC
tim. AS he turned to complete his
work, De NJ. fired, but his aim was un-
steady, for the bullet glanced off his
shoulder, infiicting a flesh wound but
increasing his rage to perfect frenzy.
Catching sight of me, the boar sudden
" transferred his attention in my di-
rection, and. with a series of ferocious
grunts, he charged.
stand steady, Tor your ll1e! yelled
De NJ. Don't attempt to thrust; hold
the spear steady, and he will run upon
it."
I felt shock, sparks flashed before
my eyes, then heavy bow, and after
that all was darkness. When / recov-
cred my senses Hans and De NJ. were
forcing brandy down my throat, while
the blood was pouring down my face
from my nose, which had come in vio-
lent contact with 4 tree in my fall.
Close beside me lay the dead body of the
boar with my spear still sticking in
lis body, having transfixed the heart,
while the short ash handle was shat
tered. In u short time l was on my feet
and receiving the congratulations Of
my friends on my narrow escape.
This completed the days sport, and as
the day was waning, the bag, one sow
and three boars, were loaded on mules,
and we reached home tired, hungry and
happy, to fight our battles over again.
