Keep the Dollar Rolling.

Just little dollar on its mission sent,
makes a lot of people glad each time
the coin is spent. You pay it to the
butcher for meat to give strength, he
pays it to the grocer from whom it goes
at length, some pretty bit Of cloth or
lace his better half to buy, or help to
get her summer hat to make her rival
sigh. The drygoods man sends on the
coin to pay his market bill and though
the coin is often spent it stays dollar
still, and every time tbs spent at home,
some act of good is done in booming
local industries, ere setting Of the sun.
But if you break the local chain, the
chances are that from afar twill not
return again. If once it passes out of
town, the butcher and the baker, the
grocer and the drygoods man, the cook,
the undertaken, the carpenter the car
riage wright, the blacksmith, everyone,
will lose the chance TO touch the coin
ere setting of the sun. Just keep the
coin at home, just keep it moving well,
and every time it changes hands, every
body's goods twill sell. That single
little dollar has thus wondrous power
to make somebody better dozen times
an hour. 1t pays the bill and wards of
| ill, and ne 'er its power relaXes. to sooth
the doctor, buy the coal, pay for bread
| and taXes.-EX.

FROM HONOLULU.
An Interesting Letter From J. E. Jones,
Brother of Mrs. D. A. Teller.
HONOLrLu- II / ]

Honolulu, H. l., July 9, 1898.
Dear Sister Eva: We are anchored
in the bay, one mile from port. The
transport, Indiana, has broken down
and we are laid up for repairs.
Honolulu is fine old town. So many
comfortable looking homes and beauti-
full lawns. The buildings are mostly all
one story and all float the stars and
stripes.
Well, the people gave us a reception
and a lunch in the royal park. l was
in the ex-queen's palace, it's a fine
place but is only a one story frame
building. Was all through the capitol
building. 1t is the highest building on
the island, three stories high and built
of stone. [ heard the president, Mr.
Dow, make a speech; he is common
sort of man, not at all big feeling.
The natives are called Kanacha. They
are a little darker than the American
Indians, but not so dark as the African
race. They are bright looking people,
very fine features and pretty eyes.
About 9S per cent can read and write
and all profess the Christian faith. The
missionaries have done wonders on
this island. Most of the people own
their own homes, are free from debt
and are better off than the average
American. [ did not see drunken
man while in the city. It is shame
that the United States does not annex
them. 1t is unjust to the people as |
am sure they would be credit to our
government. [ cannot describe the
scenery of this island, it is too grand.
You mustt mink of the Garden of Eden
and then of Honolulu. The flowers are
beautiful, the coast is billy and you can
see the old volcano and crater, it's q
grand sight. There are palm trees,
cocoanut, oranges, lemons, pineapples,
bananas, figs, dates, and, in fact, all the
tropical and temperate productions can
be found here.
The badge send inside is the one we
got yesterday at the reception, the word
at the top, Alolu, in Kanacha means
welcome.
Well, must close, a boat is coming.
Goodbye to you all. Your brother,
J. +. JONES.
