Dear Salamonia! River that l love!
No wandering minstrel ever sang thy praise,
Yet in my heart thou art enthroned above
All other pleasant scenes of childhood days.
Upon thy banks l orce wont to roam
Free the squirrels that sported in the trees
Comnuned with Nature in her forest home
Amid the songs of birds and hum of bees.
Godfrey the Indian chieftain, loved thy anne
Long years before the white man ever stood
At evening on thy banks and sew the fame
OF summer sunset mirrored in thy flood.
To thy rich lands the white man came at last;
What wondrous changes followed in his track
He moved the forest down--the whirlwind bias
OF fire swept by and left it charred and black.
The Indian wandered westward long ago
And death soon claimed the gallant pioneer.
Now fields of corn and wheat and barley grow
Where once the hunter sought the timid deer.
Man in his conquest conquered all but thee;
But at thy brink he stayed his footsteps bold
He spanned thy flood with bridges fair to see,
And let thee coll beneath them uncontrolled
1 know that many mightier streams than thou
Have dashed along for centuries unsung,
But none to me, since first bathed my brow
In thy deep flood, when life and hope were young
Were half so dear-so worthy of my praise;
So in my heart thou art enthroned above
All other pleasant scenes of childhood days.
Dear Salamonia! River that 1 love!

Information Obtained by Jerry Ruslx
from "a Western Farmer.


Atlanta Constitution.
Governor Rusk happened to drive over
the State line once into Wisconsin, looking
at the farms. He was particularly struck
with one farm, on which he found every
thing in flfSt-claSS order and riding up to
the house, inquired the name of the owner,
when a tall German came out and gave his
name as Theodore Louis.
What do you regard as the greatest
wealth-producing agency in agriculture?'
the Governor asked him.
THE hog" was the sententious reply.
Upon what do you base this statement"
He lifts more mortgages than anything
else"
The conversation which ensued DEVELOPED
the fact that Louis had once been what is
called an all-wheat farmer, and kept con-
stantly sinking into debt. He decided that
would be very little left for Louis, so he
decided to try the hog. The first year he
made little money, the second year he
made more, and then he became thoroughly
interested. The result was that he became
recognized as great authority on hogs
His neighbors took up his example, and
mortgages began to be llfted, until finally
there was not one on record against that
community.
How long would you keep hog?" asked
Governor RuSk.
II would not keep hinl--I would kill him. y
''When?"
When he is ripe
when he is ripe?"
when he is fat"
or three years."
Il tried that once" said Louis. Il took
a hog in the fall and weighed him. and
took my corn and weighed it, When spring
came the corn was all gone and the hog
weighed about what he did in the fail. That
made me say next year that / would kill
my hogs in the fail and save my corn"
How much does 1t cost to keep a hog
through the winter"
''Three dollars"
How many hogs winter in Minnesota"
"One million. / have just looked at the
auditors report.
do you mean to say that we lose So, 600.
900 year in wintering our hogs?
Yes that what's you do. If you kill
them all in the fall you will have left in
your cribs s., 900 worth Of corn to SELL"

A little bunch Of bleeding heart
Grew near her door;
1 first observed it with a start,
And more and more
1t grew to seem omen IL,
AS 1 stood there
And waited for my answer still
From Ethel, fair.
A scented note was borne to me
That told me ALL
The thing l wished could never be
Twas like a Iall
That fell upon my life; since then
I've lived apart,
Striving to hide from gaze Of men
My bleeding heart.
About my door, for company,
wealth of flowers
In tender grace smile up at me
Through lonely hours;
But when my wound is pricked anew
By Memory's dart,
seek thy sympathy most true,
o oleeding-heart!

l cannot tarry, nay, nor bide,
I'm welded to the in patient tide,
And from the sands along the sea
The roaring breakers call to me.
For though 1 loiter. lag, and sing,
l am forever Fastening
And gayly tossing toward the brine
That sings a louder song than mine.
That sings of ships and snowy sails
OF galleons and blowing gales,
OF men and maidens rocked to sleep
In the haunted hammocks of the deep.
And now the elder ocean roars
Until l tremble to my shores,
And now his voice is far and sweet
And leads me faltering to his feet.
And so I'm switching DER the sand
The eternal bridal is at hand,
And 10. the thunderous anthem rolls
From the loud organ on the shoals!

Those darkling shafts that mutely stand
Seem as a sad and somber band;
But list From out their leafy crown
A world of song comes softly down.
The features stern with strife we scan
And thus we judge the cutter man;
While deep within the breast may live
A sweeter song than earth can give.

Tenpta tom.


Touch me not. my names Temptation;
Pass me, without Hesitation,
Needing not my salutation,
Should l meet you. should greet you,
Know me never.
Keep your garments from my way;
Do not let your footsteps stray
Where I linger. night or day,
View me with dstrust alway-
Shun me ever.
Though you may not. do not, knew
Whence 1 come and whence 1 go,
How do engird you so,
Watch with care.
I am apt in evil ways
And changeful the days:
Tact for fattery and praise
Have 1, but beware.
I may come with lofty mien,
ROBBED and jeweled like q queen,
Fair and wondrous to be seen
Flee me then.
I may come. with saintly air,
TO distract you, kneeling there
In the midst of fervent prayer,
And again,
I may come with jest and song,
Maddest of a reckless throng,
Borne by passions power along
To destroy;
Enemy to all mankind
Ever 1 some way can find,
Proving mine the master mind
Men employ.
But whatever way l will.
Harbinger of every i'll,
Be on guard and watch until
I depart.
Spite of all, may return
Seeming conquerer, but spurn
Smiles and Establishments in turn
From your heart.
For my smiles bring tears of sorrow,
Pleasures, it were vain 20 borrow
Life to-day, and death tomorrow
Is their trend.
Nothing but a vain regret,
And a striving to forget
Will my memory beget
IN the end.
So be warned and go your way,
Leaving me to mine, nor stray
Where 1 linger, night or day;
View me with distrust Away,
Shun me ever
Many men have l undone;
Battles fought, and battles won,
In the conflict sparing none
Leaving many when twas done
Battle-scarred forever.

PROGRESS.

Honolulu shows a wonderful amount
of progress in the way of new build
ings. In the heart of the city, within
the last year or SO, there have been
some very handsome stores and offices
erected and the discovery of the blne
building stone has added much to the
appearance of this class of building.
From ten to fifteen years ago we
ously well when we faced our build
ings with concrete and to that period
belong the Judiciary and Executive
buildings, the Campbell block, the post
office, the Gazette block, Bishop &,
Cos. bank, and so forth. In the per-
iod before this, stretching back into
the early seventies great pride was
taken in few brick stores, which now
look very out of date compared with
the handsome blue stone fronts of the
present day.
The changing of the business houses
from wood to brick, from brick to con-
crete facing, and, finally, to handsome
stone, all mark progress toward So
lidity. There was time when, had
Honolulu been abandoned, in few
years there would not have been a
trace left of its existence. The town
was then built of wood. Now, under
similar circumstances, there would be
much that would stand as permanent
monuments, even if the place was de.
serted. sts
But it is not alone in the business
portion of the city, with its handsome
buildings and fine stores, that one
notices the signs of prosperity. If any
one will take the trouble to- drive OF

A TALK ON CLEANLINESS.
MARCH 20, 1907.

1t is not often that people
in our line of business speak
about toilet soaps, but as the
handling of hardware, plows
and other implements soil the
hands and face, it is natural
that we, as we'll as others, use
soap.
We have a large stock of
soaps of various kinds-too
large for our own consumption
for some time to coGe-and
will allow our patrons to take
advantage of our stock to sup
ply themselves.
The name of Colgate & Co.
is known the world over as
the makers of fine toilet soaps,
and when we offer Cashmere
Boquet and Jockey Club at
35c per cake, Glycerine, Rosa
dore and Honey for zoe per
cake, Rico and CASTLE at 1Oc
per cake, there should be no
hesitancy about buying them.
The same make of Demul-
cent shaving Soap is an assur-
ance of superior quality, even
when we sell it at 10c per
cake.
Everyone is familiar with
the healing properties of Cuti-
cura soap. 1t confers on con-
sumers the greatest of human
blessings skin without a
blemish. Twenty cents per
cake is too cheap.
Medicated tar soap makes
an excellent shampoo as well
as a bath soap. Many use it
exclusively. You will find it
impossible to buy this soap
anywhere for less than 25c
per cake, except Of us, where it
goes for l5c per cake.

During the year 1896 we imported
lubricating oils to the amount of over
900 gallons, valued at 6,166.24,
and 1856 cases of peanut oil, valued at
$1S,19S.37-a total value of nearly
$4,000. Now it does seem folly for us
to go on importing what we can easily
make ourselves. In the colony of Vic
toria the oil used for lubricating pur-
poses in the railway department is
made from plants grown in Gippsland.
As they have government railwa rs
there, so they have government mill
for making oil. Their best percentage
is obtained from linseed, which yields
81 to 80 per cent; hemp and peanut
each give 90 to 25 per cent, and sun
flower produces 16 to IS per cent. We
have no government factories but it
does seem as if it would be worth
while for some one to invest in the
business of oil manufacture and keep
the $4,000 paid for it in the counir y.
This cry for new industries is perpet-
ual, here is one ready at hand and re-
turns would come in far more quickly
than from coffee.
