LET TIERS ITO
SAINT "A CLAUS.

Each year thousands of children
write letters to Santa Claus and mail
them. In large cities they are handed
to the 'blind reader who looks after
difficult, fictitious or erroneous adj
dresses and are then sent to Santa
Claus-at the dead letter office, Wash
ington. Many children think Santa
lives in New York, some associate the
saint with the north pole and others
think his proper address is in Iceland.
1t was no doubt freak of childhood
that to the words 'north pole" on one
envelope was added Brooklyn" A
New Orleans child addressed his Iottnr
to willie Santa Claus New Yourk,
La" There are no return requests"
placed in the upper left hand corner Of
the envelopes, which goes to show the
sublime faith the children have that
the latter simply cannot fail to reach
Santa Claus. One boy wrote:
Dear Santa Claus-Niy ma told me to rite to
you. Please bring me gun and pair of ruber
boots. If you can't spare them both, plese I'll
take the gun. | don't mind CT do get my feet
wet. JOHN.
Plese ! want real gun to shoot rabbits for
looks tired in black.
Another little boy wrote the follow
ing:
wish you would kindly send me noars ark
and cornocopa full OF candy; good boy.
A Philadelphia boy wrote this letter
to "Mr. Kriss Kingle, Northland, North
Pole:"
I am a good little boy and don't get cross so
please send me a railroad track with trolley car
run by electricity and policeman set and story
book But what would rather have Is baby sis
ter than anything else.
For years the dead letter Office in
Washington had an annual visitor in
the person of a rich old man who
would come week or two before
Christmas and get 20 or 30 Of the many
letters addressed to Santa Claus. Hav-
Ing made his selection of the more
modest requests, he would buy the
toys and send them to the children as
coming from their patron saint. Christ
mas came last year and went, but no
one called at the dead letter Office for
the letters. The old man was dead.

SOME DOM IT'S
FOR CHRIST MAS.

Don't fail to make happy the Christ
mas Of some needy persons Of your
acquaintance.
Don't spend more than you can afford
on presents. This is good advice, and
of course you will not take it.
Don't find fault il your presents are
duplicated, and don't tell your friend
you exchanged one duplicate at the
store for something else.
Don't hang up your bicycle stockings
or your watch.
Don't tell children under 10 years Of
age that Santa Claus is a myth. This
dear old fellow is one Of the most beau
tiful decisions Of childhood.
Don't urge other people to tell what
they received for Christmas IL they
appear reticent. Perhaps they didn't
get anything.
Don't tell some one who has sent you
a gift for Christmas that you will re-
ciprocate on New Years. Just do so,
IL you wish, without announcing it.
Don't despise homemade gifts. Are
they not the work of loving hearts and
willing hands? P. S.-If your wife
gives you a homemade necktie, this
doesn't go.)
Don't give pictorial primers to girls

ing the water for thinning purposes is
more than machine-like in thoroughness,
simply wetting the end of the FOUNDER at
every stroke. This pulp is pounded from
consistency of india rubber to that of
molasses, when it is ready for use. Poi
Is made from Taro root, which grows in
marshy land inundated with water dur
ing its growth. At maturity the water is
drained off and the root dug up and put
away. 1t is found in every native house
and upon almost every table, and will
keep seven days before becoming sour
There is current saying that every local
ity has special favoring for poi, accord
ing to the perspiring effect the climate
has upon the person manufacturing the
same and his close proximity to the bowl.
This was our last night under canvas,
for in the morning we left for home. We
arose early as the distance to be travelled
was sixteen miles. The celebrated Pail
was the climb ahead (Pali in the native
language means cliff and the road was
certainly appropriately named. AS
piece of engineering the cliff road is GER
tainly marvel, extending down an al-
most PERPENDICULAR wall many hundred
feet. The roadbed is simply natural rock
from the cliff pulverized and tamped with
sand from the seashore, making q cement
like material of excellent duration and of
cheap construction.
AS we marched along we passed mile
after mile of the native guava, the fruit
from which such delicious jelly is made.
The guava is exceedingly healthful and
refreshing, being the size and color of
lemon, and of two varieties, the sweet and
sour. Those acquainted with the trees
readily distinguish the difference between
the two by the leaves. When matured
the guava has strawberry flavor and a
rather acidulous taste. Hundreds of
acres are going to waste except inasmuch
as they are fertilizing element, and too
are exceedingly hard to remove when Gull
tivation is anticipated.
Honolulu was sighted and>in a short
time we arrived at Camp Mckinley, and
at noon we were once more under the
shadows of Diamond Head doing duty
under Uncle Sam.

Christmas Bells.

heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild, ar d sweet
The words repeat
or peace on earth, good will to mem
And thought how, az the d. y had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
or peace on earth goodwill to men
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day.
voice, chime,
A chant sublime
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon Numbered in the South.
And with the sound
The carols drowned
or peace on earth, goodwill to menl
1t was as II an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
or peace on earth, goodwill to men
And in despair bowed my head;
"There is no peace on EARTH" said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, good. Twill to menl"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
God is OF dead; nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail.
With peace on earth, good will to meni"

Still to Faiths divining eye
Lustrous forms the expanse fill,
And to Loves quick ear the sky
Throbs with heavenly music still.
While the ages come and go
Hymns of praise unceasing rise,
And with songs by saints below
Angels join their symphonies.
Glory still to God is given.
Peace on earth is still made known,
And the Heir of earth and heaven
Claims the kingdoms for His own.
Christmas joyfully returns
On the wings of this new morn.
Gratefully our spirit yearns.

The census act provides that the whole

the boundaries Of these districts shall con-
form TO those Of the congressional dis
tr!ets. The number of congressional dis
,rlets is 357. 20 which must be added eight
territorial districts. including one for Ha-

OF II win be affected are. accordingly. the
