OUR MAUI LETTER
The Kahikinui Ranch is
Reported Sold.
The Barkentine Cleaner Loses Her
Foremost While on the EQua-
tor-Other Happenings.

MAUI, Sept. 9, 1S99.-It is reported
that Gear, Lansing & Co. of Honolulu
have recently purchased Kahikinui
ranch of a. Enos & Co., of Wailuku.
for 100000. This deal includes sew
eral thousand acres in fee simple be-
tween Kanaio and Kahikinui, the lease
from the Government for the Kahiki-
nui lands (several thousand acres
more) and 1000 head of cattle. The
last mentioned were sold at S12 head,
making a total of S4S 900, for the cattle
alone. 1t is stated that the Govern
ment receives about $4,000 annual
rental fortheir lands and that the lease
has only one year more to run. Maui
kamaainas think favorably of the
transaction, for Kahikinui is famous
for raising the latest cattle on the
Islands, and A Enos & Co. have made
a large fortune since they first leased
the Government lands. Not only that
but the price of beef is constantly ris-
ing on Maui and will continue to do
island ranches have but few cattle
ready for market.
The barkentine Cleaner which left
Kahului on the 7th, when crossing the
Iquique, Chill, broke her foremost and
was obliged to continue her voyage
with a jury-mast. At the time of the
accident she was in the doldrums and
the rolling during the calm snapped
the mast. She sailed to Gray's Harbor
with the same jury mast.
On the 18th, the native residents Of
upper Makawao will come together and
clean out the mud, gravel and other
debris from Alelele water-hole. Hun
dreds of cattle and horses are driven
daily to the pool which for many years
has been a public convenience.
Laurie Crook is managing Ulupala-
kua ranch pending the settlement Of

Thos. G. Forsyth, ex-postmaster of

The September meeting of the Maka-
wac Literary Society will take place
on the evening of the 14th at the res
idence of F. w. Hardy, Makawao. II

BICYCLES VS.. CARS.

Don't pay 10-cent car fares; it is
much cheaper to ride a Sterling BIZ
cycle. The average person rides four
times daily; at 10 cents ride this
amounts in a week to 81. 40, or $12 per
month. The Pacific Cycle e Mfg. Co.,
on Fort street, will sell you the high
est-grade Sterling Bicycle ever manu-
featured for $50, on small weekly or
monthly installments.
After you have once experienced the
pleasure and advantages of cycling,
you will not want to ride on tramcars
at even Scent fare.
The rocky road to Dublin, or any
other place will not annoy you when
you are equipped with a built-like-a-
watch Sterling Bicycle. They will
stand more rough usage, while looking
graceful and riding easy, of any wheel
made. Their construction is perfect,
and they are light, strong and speedy
and built like watch.
Down under the highly polished
enamel and glittering nickel is the
real bicycle; the thing you're paying
your good money for, and on the
strength of which may depend your
life. Are you going to buy a bicycle of
known reputation-of a kind that has
never been known to fall down" I'M
der any ordinary accident or will you
take your life in your hands and ride
recklessly to no one knows what, on a
wheel that is without a reputation, just
because it's first cost is a few dollars

Cats and Monkeys.

All animals. even the widest. can be
subjected In some way to the dominion
OF man and be dnmes'icated TO some ex'

curious facts about cats. Many persons,
including some Of our greatest natural
lists. believe that our English domestic
cat is descended from the Egyptian do

that the cats Of Egypt lived in droves.
were cared for in droves, were fed IN
droves and worshiped in droves, with
the result that Egyptian cats never got
dnmesticnted or became half as iDtelll-
gent rs ours.
The like truth Is suggested from In
dia. where monkeys are worshiped.
These are allowed to become nuisances.
They are fed and they have any amount
Of liberty. and what Is the consequence
They never lose their innate sayagery
The method OF caring for them has been
wrong. All the devotion and care ex'
pended on them are practically wasted,
and II we treated our cats In the same
fashion as the Indians do these monkeys

SOMETHING TO DO.

There are multitude of things which
are especially in order at this time. Here
are few Of them, and these few will
readily suggest others:
File away the years bills and receipts
for future reference.
Plan for such charitable work and
gifts as circumstances warrant.
Select the discarded clothing and dis
tribute II among the needy.
Start an itemized daily account OF
household expenses aud keep It through
the year.
Give to poor children who will appre-
ciate them the toys and books Of which
your little ones have tired.
The New Year Il a time for something
more than the formation Of good resOlu-
lions; It is essentially time for carry
ing out practical purposes-in q word,
for doing things.
Get together the years magazines and
papers; select those that should be filed
away, the few that should be bound,
and send the rest to the hospitals or
where they will be appreciated.
Above all do not overlook the little
deeds of kindness which come to the
hand day by day. Ii Is very true say
log that he Who waits to do some great
thing very seldom accomplish shes any
thing really worth the doing.

And this was strictly true. In Hays
City the smallest coin known was the
90 cent piece. A glass Of beer sold for a
quarter, and the same charge was made
for q pound Of crackers or cigar. 1t Is
related in the early annals Of the town
how the saloon and dance hall keepers
held an indignation meeting to take ac-
ton in the case Of new man who ad-
vertised TO sell two glasses Of beer for u
quarter. The meeting resulted in the de
parture Of the innoyator for pastures
