Boys Harvard Bill' is dead:
He's crossed the great divide
To try prospectin' in a'nuther world.
Last night, "Kyote JIM
And me sot watchin by his bunk
Till Gabriel bowed his horn and
Angels steered him straight to heaven
He never kicked agin his luck
Dyin' just as he llved,-
Altered o'nuthn
Towards the last, when angels wings
Was rustlin' round; holdin' Jim's hand and lookn'
Piercin like as if twas CROWN dark;
Whisperin' low to Jim, he said
"Jim, Jim, take keer of her.
Jim, KNOWN he meant
That half-breed baby gal of his'n,
And seem time was up with Bill,
Leent over and hollered in his ear
"By Cd, will"
Bill smiled, happy like,
As he was goin',
guess he heerd Jim.
Good? Good You bet he was good.
You'll never see another
Harvard Bill in this ere
Camp ag'in.
"Slapjack Pete" has stuff in him;
"Kyuse Jo' was never licked;
"Salvation Bob is squar
And several others in this gulch
Will pass A. l.
But Harvard BILL our Bill,
Now that he's gone
And we're comparin' notes.
Looms up above the rest
Like Shastas towerin peak
Beside the little foothills thar.
Prospector? Yes, from way back
Bill could beat us all at prospectin'.
College larnin helped him out.
In every camp of this ere Rocky Mountain Range
From Bitter Creek to Grizzly Flat
He struck it rich,-
Always findin' quartz
Lousy was "Piute sally's'' head, with gold.
Made his fortune? 1 should smile,
And wasn't no hog neither.
He didn't want the EARTH
And said it wasn't his'n: that is,
No more N he could use.
He reckond-Bill did,
That every Teller not noticin' color
Abidin' in this world
To-day and yesterday
And all of them that's comm,
Must have workin' chance
On Gods green earth,
Besides free fshin' in the sea.
Bill fggered that grabbin' for too much
Startin' on apples,-by our first Dad,
And everybody follerin' suit,
Made all the trouble
In this world.
Stealin', and lynn, and fghtin',
And wrongn and ruinn'
One another he'd argy ag'in,
Shown how we was fools
To let SIGH things go on.
Religious? l should say he was
He knowed that Bible Book
His mother give him when boy
From A, clean through to lizard,
And all the whoppin stories
That it told.
Some he thought was true; some rather not,
But that he didn't mind.
EXplorin' round, he picked out
For himself, one little verse;
Believed in it,-liyed by it,
And died honorin' it,
This ere its meann':-
Do unto Others you'd AK them
To do to you.
That was Bills religion.

Harvard Bill.

The following poem, written for
the Wilmington Star, merits recog-
milton from two points of view,-its
true poetic spirit clothed in the
humble frontier idiom made famous
by John Hay and Bret Harte, and
for the protest against the abuse of
our civilization by the spirit of
greed, which like the trail of ser
pent is Shining over everything that
is fair and of good report. The
poem embodies the spirit which
has called the Populist party out OF
the corruption of the old parties,
and as "Harvard Bill' did is pro-
testing against
"Stealin, and lyin and fghtin',
And wrongin', and ruinin'
One another, he'd argy agin,
Shown how we was fools

all appeared very happy during this

cent diversity regarding head decora-

hat hung around the brim with tassels
suggestive of paeoda, and the chief
delight Of the wearer was in shaking
his head for the pleasure Of making the
tassels dance Another had fastened
pair of COW horns on either side Of his
head immediately above the ears, and
he grinred at me so effusively that l
concluded he must have taken great
pains with the construction of this
hideous headpcce The kinky top of a

THE LOBSTER TANK.
an Aquarium Exhibit That Many View
With I.iNciN Int crcst.

An AQuariu,n Exhibit That Many View
With Lively Interest.
There are few tanks nj the aquarium
more interesting than that containing
the Holsters The Holsters there now are
not great, like some of the monsters
that lave been exhibited, but they are
lively and in good condition, and the
display Of their characteristics as they
move about or pause to eat is almost
startling TO enc unfamiliar with the
lobster IN life.
Whoever has picked up a live lobster
in market and found the big claws
dropping, us they Will if the lobster
HASN'T much life left iii him, is sure TO
be interested when he sees the lobster
here Walking off brisSly on his slender
legs, CARRYING his big claws i'll front of
him clear of the ground and his heavy
tail clear likewise. His ordinary man.
ner of progression is forward, and when
he turns he swings his heavily weighted
projecting ends with facility, but if he
meets an obstruction or an enemy his
usual way is TO dart backward and per-
haps diagonally upward through tho
water, which the lobster can do with
great suGdeuness.
The Holsters feeding apparatus is
wonderful. About the mouth there are
lots of little attachments, all the time
in motion when the lobster is feeding,
which slice the food OFT in little shreds
as rhe lobster holds it M 10 his mouth.
II another lobster should come up, this
lobster would know it, even though the
other came up behind or ut the side, and
would turn 10 defend himself or to fight
or 10 fee or to warn the other away.
The Holsters long feelers he can pro-
iect one i'll ore direction and the other
in another. ard with these, rs he moves
forward, back or sidewise, be guards
against danger.
There are perhaps a Gozen Holsters in
the tank. II the center of the tank there
is little rock There is likely to be
seen upon this rock little lobster, not
a dull, old lobster lying down, but an
alert young lobster standing up and sup
porting easily his big claws and his
powerful tail-a young lobster ready to
eat, 10 fight or to run away.-New York

THE UNHAPPY ROYALIST.

The Royalists of Hawaii still hang
on to dismal hopes of restoration,
From whence do they hope their saliva
tion will come? a while ago it was
every British National ship that anch-
ored in this harbor that was going to
restore the defunct Monarchy Now
il is the last effort of the Cleveland
administration, and as that has ceased
today, it really is hard to say what is
the Sheet anchor that they set their
hopes upon. And yet there are people
upon our streets who vapor away up
on the millennium of royalty that is
coming and actually get people to be-
lieve them.
Such people should study the his
tory of the Stuart dynasty in England.
1t is at once the most picturesque and

EUROPEAN WAR.

1t is very hard to decide what will
be the relative position of the various
Great Powers when the general shake
up comes in Europe. What appears on
the surface of the newspapers is by no
means what will come about when the
various interests begin to range them
selves.
The action of Greece in the present
contingency, we may rest assured, does
not depend upon it's own irresponsible
action. The Queen of Greece is a
daughter of the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, grand uncle of the present Gar
of Russia. Russia is essentially an in
triguing power. That Russia is behind
Greece one can feel assured. Cretan
rebellion has occurred before and
Greece, though sympathizing, has not
as actively supported it as on the pres
ent occasion.
Russia, while ago, seemed hand in
glove with France, but the latest de-
velopments make her look as if she
and Germany were going to join
hands. The situation has come to such
tension and the various contracting
parties to the treaties are so mixed up
and entangled, the one with the other,
that it will take the sword of an Alex
ander to cut the Gordian knot. 1t will
be cut finally, but the question of who
will do it is very different thing.
OF course every nation thinks only
of self interest, no matter what its dip
lomatic protestations may be. A break
down of the Turk in Europe would
create general and somewhat undig-
nified scramble, somewhat like, but far
more wild, than the scramble which
took place at the Congress of Vienna
in 1914. All the various nationalities
are striving to keep it off. 1t will come
nevertheless. The Star hopes it has
come now.

Since we last spoke of agri-
cultural implements in this
column, events have taken
place that are of great import
ance to us and to the users of
agricultural implements. 1t is
nothing more nor less than
the collecting under one roof
of all our stock that has been
heretofore placed in various
warehouses throughout the
city.
We are not boasting when
we say that we have the largest
and best show room of any
house, in our line of goods, in
the Hawaiian Islands.
We have not only the largest
show room, but the best light
ed and best arranged. All the
implements are arranged SO
that it is possible to see the
assortment, which is always
kept complete, to the best adj
vantage.
The central location of the
show room is another point in
favor. The entire building on
Fort Street, next to our retail
store, formerly occupied by III.
w. Schmidt and Sons is taken
up with Rice plows, 7 sizes,
Breaker plows in IL, ID, Is
inch, Sulky Disc-Plows, Stub
BILE Diggers, Stubble Shavers,
Sugar Land Cultivators, Wheel
barrows, Aspinwall Potatoe
Planters, Extra parts for the
various lines, Aermotors and
Sewing Machines; in fact every
thing needed by our patrons.
Speaking of our plows we
are in receipt almost daily of
unsolicited testimonials of their
sterling merit. We don't care
to elbow our own horn," as we
would prefer you would find
out these things of your own
accord, yet it is nothing more
than justice to ourselves that
we speak of them. Next time
you are in the city don't fail to
see our new showroom.
