WHEN FATHER RODE THE GOAT,

The house is full of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike a note;
The Doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge week ago
Got in at a. m,
And sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained, and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch today
And practiciEg his signs
The hailing signal, working grip,
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters passwords meath his breath,
And other things he'll quote
They surely had an evenings work
When father rode the goat.
He has a gorgeous uniform,
All gold and red and blue,
a hat with plumes and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But, somehow, when we mention it,
He wears a look so grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.

stenographic hearing. There was no
surprise, therefore. when. few weeks
afterward, the mail brought back the
text of Blounts conclusions, namely,
that the revolution of 1898 had taken
place under such auspices as to throw
the responsibility for it upon the armed
forces of the United States.
After having shown his hand Mr..
Blount WINGED under the resulting crit
icism of the local press. He complain
ed to President Dole of the Star but
got no satisfaction, the Executive say
ing that the local papers were not con-
trolled by the Government. The storm
of Indignation which pelted him from
across the water soreIy tried his nerves
and he complained in print because the
Mainland papers said he had hauled
down" the Stars and Stripes when he
had merely removed" them. Yet his
written orders to Admiral Skerrett
were to haul down." The Star said
that he had tried for four years to
haul down the flag but had been head

had been raised by Lord Paulet.

North, directly or by descent; Minister
Stevens was a typical Yankee; the
Paramount Commissioner was a rank
Jeff, Davis man, only reconstructed far
enough TO hold a Federal office. When
ever Hawaiian Americans called on
Blount he treated them brusquely, IN
less, indeed, they were anxious TO say
a word for the Queen. Royalists, espe-
cially native Royalists, he received with
open arms. His intimate companions
were Claus Spreckels and Charles Nord-
hoff; the most frequent guests, other
than the two gentlemen named, were
the late ministers of the crown. Some
men of the highest character on the
annexation side were unable to get
their testimony before Mr.. Blount while
any man on the Rcyalist side had a

which was done But Colonel Blount
apparently attached no Importance TO
them, though he provided against the
probability of the Japanese landing by
dropping a word or two in print about
the ability and willingness of his Gov
eminent to keep order here without To-
cal or foreign help.
One morning the Advertiser startled
the town with the brief announcement
that, by direction of Commissioner
BIount, the American flag would be
hauled down from the Government
building Judiciary at IL a. M, ana
the Stevens protectorate ended. 1t was
worth the crisis to see the outburst OF
American feeling that followed. From
over a hundred private fagstaffs the
Stars and Stripes were unfurled to the
morning breeze and almost every
American one met had the patriotic
button of the Annexation Club in ms
lapel The Hawaiian regiment ana
battery of artillery at once went under
arms. There was a half-defined fear
that the Royalists would rise and try
to restore the Queen; but the Royal
lists themselves looked to Blount to do
that. One of those wild rumors of res
toration had gone about and the
Queens friends were content to await
the action of Cleveland's representa-
tive. Natives by the hundred, on loot
and in carriages. went 10 the faiac''
Square. AS the hour of eleven APP

Government building to perform the

Upon this the diplomat sought out the
editor in the street and berated him in
terms which were far from diplomatic.
But man proposes and God disposes.
Three years ago this month the self

from it's high place was raised again

Sociologists see in the motor car a
possible way out of more than one of
our difficulties. Madame SchmalI sug-
gests it's use as a kitchen, which would
travel over regular route, leaving
ready-cooked meals at the homes of
it's patrons, and would thus reduce the
labor of the household without TAX
ing away any of the pleasures of the
family life. A perambulating restaur-
ant for supplying suitable rood to the
