The tall corporal was weighted down with his blanket and haversack, but in his arms he carried dog, the mascot of the company. Here, corporal. said Webb, didn't you march all last night" Yes, sir said the corporal, trying to salute. And didn't you fight all day.? Sure, sir And haven't you been marching ever since 10 o'clock to- night?' Yes, sir said the corporal, Well, then, shouted Webb, what in thunder are you carrying that dog for?' Why, boss, the dogs tired was the re- ply. Webb just rolled over in the dirt and laughed and cried like boy.'

The Farnne,,s Lot.

 The farmer is happy manor should be, don't you know. He doesn't have q thing to do but blow and reap and SOW; He sleeps till f o'clock each morn, then goes about his tasks; Gets three square meals each working day, and that Is all he asks. He hires q man to do his work, when he can raise the price, Feeds him on pork and johnycake, pota- toes, muSh, and rice. When autumn gilds the towering hills, he comes to town and votes, And settles up his winters bills by issuing his notes. He always has one suit of clothes and of- ten he has two, For footwear he prefers a boot and never wears shoe; And when a summer comes he sheds his duds to 'scape the heat, And doesn't have to don his coat when he sits down to eat. He keeps wagon and span with which to drive to town Ills wife was never known to be without gingham gown; His children, too, are fat and stout-- they're not brought up on cake And never cry all night because their lit- tie stomachs ache. He needs no money in his purse, his cred it's always good: He takes the weekly paper and he pays for 1t in wood, The merchants furnish him dry goods. and groceries as we'll Because they know some day he'll have some pork or wheat to sell. Ah, happy is the man who dwcls upon the farm, apart From noisy cities, crowded towns, and commerce's busy mart. Serene he lives, nor gives one thought to boarding piles of pelf, My dearest hope is that some day I'll have farm myself.

Wns There a Zero Yearq

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Many words have been wasted as to the end of the century. We all agree that a century contains 100 com plete years. As to when century Of our era begins, the whole question de- pends on whether there was zero year between December 31, B. C., and Jan uary 1, A. D. Most of us think there was not. A few say there was. Will not some learned historian or mathema- tician tell us the facts decisively?

 Box coats are alike in bagginess but otherwise there are several varieties. First we had two plentiful sorts--one that was cut off square at the bottom and another that was square and slash ed up at the sides. More recently the slashes have given way to tremendous scallops. These are in many different arrangements, of which this picture shows one, and all of them seem bit like overriding it. But though they may look pronounced, they are as stylish an outside garment as a woman can have. Melton in some shade of tan is the usu- al color, and stitched bands of the goods are the most stylish trimming. This one had Alaska sable for it's collar and rip pie front.

Expectations that the field for the use of aluminium in lines of electrical man. ufacture would be widened by the in- creasing price of copper are being real ized A western railroad company re- gently ordered 60,000 pounds of alumi- nium wire for its telegraph service, and the wire is being used with satisfaction in .Pittsburg for telephone purposes. It ~is also in use by some street railroads as ables for the conduct of the electrl- cal power. To obtain the same conduc- tivity the aluminium wire must be about twice as large as the copper wire. but as the weight is much less the strain on the poles is not so great, and it is said that with aluminium at twice the price of copper it will be as cheap a material. Thus, with copper at twenty cents per pound and aluminium at for ty-one cents per pound, the cost per mile for wire of the same conductiyity in either metal will be the same. But as the cost of aluminium is constantly decreasing through the improvement of reduction processes, and the cost of cop- per is being held up, the outlook is ed use of the white metal.

HILO is SAID TO
HAVE CHANCE YET
No Definite Answer To It's
Request for Republican
Convention.

1t seems now that after all. there is
a possibility of Hilo capturing the Re-
publican Territorial Convention Most
Republicans had assumed days ago
that the Rainy City's chances were nil,
and George w. Smith, chairman Of the
Republican central territorial commit
tee said yesterday that the convention
would be in Honolulu without a doubt
Still Hilo's offer has not been reject
ed, and it is said that the executive
committee is divided on the question. A
reply to the proposition of Editor Smith
Of the Tribune, of Hilo, was drafted
yesterday, signed by Chairman George
w. smith and Secretary e. r. Hendry,
and despatched on the Mauna Loa. II

Hllo, and on the reply received next
Saturday the result hinges.
The letter was practically a request
Tor the Hilo people to put their propo-
sltion in tangible form as to the cues
ton of paying the expenses of the con-
Ventlon and all incidentals thereto.
Many of the members of the executive
committee are in favor of the conven-
ton being held in the Rainy City; 9TH
ers are not. If a reply is received on
saturday, and the executive committee
favors the Hilo proposition, there will
just be time enough for the secretary
to send out the notice of the change of
the place of holding the convention to
the members and delegates on the 9TH
er lsianos, and an opportunity for them
TO chanSe their plans and taking the
nrst means of transportation to reach

TO GET THE WATER
Supply in Forests Back of Wa
hiawa to be Made Use OF
by it in the Future.

The Waialua Agricultural Com
pany has practically received
decision from the Government in re-
gard to the water supply in the forests
back of Wahiawa. Yesterday Governor
Dole sanctioned the granting of the
water rights in the forests to the Wal
alua Company as against the Wahiawa
Company. 1t was bad day for the
latter plantation for in the Circuit
Court land decision was given for
their opponents. who happened to be
the Waialua Agricultural Company
also.
The question of the water rights be-
gan some time ago when A. E. Nichols
and John Emmeluth made application
for the water rights and agreed if the
deal was contaminated to fence the
forests whence the water supply came
and protect it The Governor how
ever, had already received a similar ap-
plication from the Waialua Agricul-
tural Company. a third application
had also been on file from the colonists
of the Wahiawa California colony. The
proposition of the Waialua Agricultural
Company had a provision that in the
event of its being granted the water
rights the company would furnish wa
ter for the colonists at a reasonable
rate. although in the application the
rates We've not given.
The colonists' interests were taken
into consideration in deciding upon this
question and under the proposition OF
the Waialua Company they would be
protected. The entire question of the
water rights was gone over in the Cow
ernor's council yesterday morning, and
had the schedule of rates for the Wahi-
ava colonists been appended the grant
would probably have been made

Obituary,

Anna, oldest daughter of Thompson
and Henrietta Hendrickson, was born
June l1th, 1878. After intense suffer
ing of four weeks from that dread
disease, typhoid fever, passed to the
great beyond, November 9th, 1900,
aged % years, 5 months and q days.
She was married to Albert Aber June
l1th, 1899. The silver chord that
bound her to earthly friends was
quickly snapped, and her spirit re-
turned to the One who gave it. Be-
sides her devoted companion she
leaves father, mother, one sister
and a host of friends to mourn
her departure. The loss sustained
by the death of Sister Anna
is keenly felt, not only by her
stricken family, but by all that knew
her, for to know her was to love her.
Her pleasing manners and bright
smiling face had won for her a host
of friends Just at the age when life
with all its pleasures was opening up
to her, the Ma ster has called and His
summons are memorable, and today
Anna is in that land of rest, free from
all sorrow and pain. 1t seems hard to
part with one we love so we'll, and as
her cold form lay in a beautiful
white casket laden with beautiful
chrysanthemums, we can well ask is it
death? Deceased was a member of
the Christian Church at Lynchburg,
and died firm believer in the faith.
Funeral services were held at the late
home by Elder ]. w. Crawford, of
Martinsville, Thursday, November
10Th, after which she was laid to rest
beside her darling, which preceded
her to that better land but four short
months ago.
Opr homo has broken, Ann IL gone
Free from all sorrow and pain.
Gone where angels had beckoned her home
Yet we hope to meet her again.

Obituary..

Alonzo Fl. Grady, son of Aaron and
Ada Rogers Grady, died at Indianapo-
lis last week of consumption, aged 80
years. Born and raised near Hills
boro, all of his boyhood days were
spent here. Many will remember
Alonzo as bright, happy compositor
of the Highland News office, which
was edited by Mr.. ]. L. Boardman.
AS carrier, he was polite and kind to
all. At that time he was but fourteen
years of age. 1t was during the Civil
War, his father being in the army
doing active service, he was father
and son to mother and family, and
nobly he did his duty. Many years
ago he left Hillsboro and went to
Indianapolis, where he has since been
living. About 5 years ago consump-
tion attacked his apparently strong,
manly form. He loved life and strug-
gled to live for wife and children,
travelling throughout Florida, Colo
RADIO and Oklahoma. But death loves
shining mark. and he, like one wear
led of long journey, though only in
his prime, gathered his robes about
him and laid down to rest, not with
out the Christians hope. He had set
his house in order, and when death
came he welcomed it as sweet, well
come guest. He sleeps today far
from early home and many friends
near the beautiful city he had chosen
as his home.
Years have passed since last we parted,
Jov and sadness mixed with pain
But in heaven an unbroken family,
In the sweet beyond we'll meet again.
