Tested HeTS Strength.

Charley NJ was at home from college,
spending his summer vacation. The
NJ. s were people fairly well to do, and
Charley WAS passing the forenoon very
comfortably on the cool and shady
veranda.
Down by the barn yard fence, in a
neglected place, crop of strong
healthy weeds had sprung up and
fourished under the summer sun. Left
unmolested in the rush of work on the
farm. they were fast becoming n blot
on the otherwise orderly premises, and
that morning Charleys father-the
"old man"-had sailed forth and was
now making vigorous assault upon
the patch.
Suddenly he left off his work and
came up into the yard. Taking a
broomstick which happened to be lean
ing against the veranda. he laid it on
the grass, then turned to Charley and
said:
Cit down here and see if you can
pull me over that stick
He held in his hand small chain, in
each end of which was inserted a stout
stick to serve as handle. Then the
tug began and developed into quite a
spirited contest But at last Charley
succeeded in dragging the old man
across the line.
"There. that'll do" he said. dropping
his end of the chain. Il guess you've
got strength enough to pull them
weeds down there by the barn"
Il never said word said Charley,
telling the story afterward. but before
noon there weren't any weeds left

BIRDS OF FN0AGE.

When the naples flame with crimson
And the nights are still with frost,
Ere the summer lurlng beauty
Is in autumn glory LOST
Through the marshes and the forests
An imperious summons flies,
And from all the dreaming northland
The wild birds flock and rise
From streams no oar hath rippled
And lakes that waft no sail,
From reaches vast and lonely
Thnt know no hunters trail
The clamor of their calling
And the whistling of their flight
Fill all the day with marvel
And with mystery the night.
A ebb along the ocean
The great obedient tides
30 wave on wave they journey
Whore an ancient wisdom guides.
Although the haze of autumn
They vanish down the wind,
With the summer world before them
And the crowding storms behind.

A Ride over the Road.

A very large number of people
availed themselves of yesterdays
beautiful weather to patronize the
Oahu railroad. A very fair sprink-
ling of them went through to Ka-
huku but the larger number got off
at the many way stations along the
road.
Waialua was especially beautiful
and delightfully."- cool and breezy
and free from the sun glare. Col.
Iaukea's hotel is progressing and in
about two months time will be
ready for visiting. 1t will be as
beautiful and convenient hostelry
as any on the islands or the main
land, and very attractive with all
the opportunities for swimming in
fresh or salt water, with boating
and sailing and fishing in both.
In course of time the gigantic
Waialua plantation will plant all
the surrounding foot with cane
making the surrounding scenery
beautifully rich in generous ver-
dancy. improvements are proceed
ing apace there and every attention
is being paid to the comfort of the
laborers.

A Strangers Suicide.

A man giving the name of Charles
Burke, jumped overheard on the 9th
inst. from the Claudine and was
drowned, when the steamer was
near the Kawaihae harbor on Ha-
waii. The suicide was a stranger
here, and made statements indicat-
ing that he was of unsound mind.
There is, however, something very
mysterious in the death OF the man,
and thorough investigation will be
made by Consul General Haywood
and Marshal Brown.
Burke arrived in Hilo in the Amy
Turner, took passage for Honolulu
in the Claudine, drank plenty of
whisky, and "sported" considerable
wealth in view OF his fellow pass
engers. He finally deposited certain
valuables with a Mr.. Richly and
then jumped into watery
grave. The property was event.
ually nanQeo over 10 the Hurser
Beckley, who had been notified by
a Mr.. Bell that the valuables of the
suicide were in the hands of Richley,
Mr.. Beckley handed the moneys,
etc, to the Wilder S. S. Co., and a
report and valuabies furnished to
Consul General Hay wood, who is
now Investigating the matter.
There is something very strange
in the whole story. So far the
only fact is that a stranger lost his
life under most peculiar circum-
stances and that someone saved"
his property. Look-ou: for further
developments.

Startling Revelations.

A number of "sports" were sur
prised this morning when the arrest
of N. Porter Plunkett and FL. O..
Soper was announced. The young
men are accused of passing bogus
checks and are held on a charge of
gross cheat. 1t is claimed that
Plunkett had tried to pass "bad"
paper on Mr.. Stanmore of Long
Branch, and that Soper has been
"doing" the "Iwakami."
Information at police headquarters
shows that Plunkett was at one
time an employee OF Naalehu plant
alton, and that Soper worked in
Hilo.
Some startling disclosures can be
expected when the men are brought
to trial.

The suggestion contained in Con-
sui General Wilder's letter in this
mornings Advertiser, is an excellent
one for causing the importation and
circulation of large amount of
money. 1t would attract at the
least 1000 people from the mainland
who will spend among the trans
portation companies, the hotel
keepers and retail establishments in
town over half million of dollars
at the lowest estimate, while our

contribute like amount. In other
less sordid motives the idea booms
with benefit. Give the exposition

is the management of our Free Kin
