Such person was Miss Blanche Berard
who was for many years the postmis-
tress at West Point. She was friend
to the cadets and by her womanly
ministries and true Christian spirit
did much to make her world better.
She was one of the most unselfish of
women, sharing her narrow income
with those in need and proving herself
good angel to those in poverty and
distress. Her death will be heard of
with regret by many a brave soldier.

be no liquor to befuddle their brains

places have been established in the

was everything that could be wished
and the whole town was en- fete. To
count the number of dinners, to watch
the equipages, to see the full cars, to
admire the pretty dresses, certainly did
not argue that the Honolulu commun-

bust" There was probably more kind

means were not good, to widows, or

than has ever been shown on any pre-

but that there is such woeful need

the hands of the amateur athletics

Be Thankful.

We all have something to be
thankful for.
Do you ever stop to think how
much better off you are than
the average person in any other
part of the world.
Abe there many of us hungry
and begging for employment?
Do we have to look forward
, with dread to the cold winter,
which takes all we have saved
in the summer, to keep us from
freezing?
How about the neat little
home you occupy, with the
beautiful open-air life?
Some of us may feel blue this
year because we foolishly
speculated, but do not let that
discourage you. 1t was an ex-
pensive lession, but you will be
more careful in the future.
With your family and friends
around you next Thursday you
will require a few more articles
for your table, such as Meat
Dishes, Plates, Cups and Sau-
GERS, Tumblers, Beer and Wine
Glasses, Carvers, Knives and
Forks, Spoons, etc.
Whether you are rich or poor,
we can supply your wants to
your entire satisfaction.

Every one will agree with Judge Gear

charge sticking.
