On her account they left the land,
Where rich papa's soap factories stand,
And mid the Old Worlds classic show,
Where rank is high If funds are low,
She fought the fight mamp1a had planned
At that strategic danes command
She led her trumps for court-cards, anC
At length kind FoitAfe did bestow
On her a count -
And so she's titled, grea and grand;
Mamma is proud, the count is bland;
All three arqpAeased, but this we know:
Most pleased are those Ne CHANGED to owe
For now hef draws with lavish hand
On her account.

MY Sweetheart.

I have a charming sweetheart,
With eyes of Heavens own blue,
love him very dearly,
And SO I'm sure would you.
His form is short and pudgy,
And yet he just suits me,
For he is kind and loving.
AS all sweethearts should be.
I 60 not seek for knowledge
OF what he can bestow,
I know he loves truly,
And that's all 1 want to know.
And now about my sweetheart,
I'll tell you this much more,
He is our little grandson,
And his age is only four.

A Kind Old World.

ITS a sad old world he said,
When he and trouble met,
But brightly, overhead,
The sun was shining yet:
Its a sad old world" he cried;
Yet all around him there
Were men puffed up with pride
And children free from care.
ITS a kind old world" he said,
When fortune came his way;
A little child lay dead
Across the street that day;
ITS glad old world" he sang,
A good old world!' and high
Above his singing rang
A mothers hopeless cry

I heard the football of the hail;
The armies of the sky
Were coming down amid the gale,
And rank on rank marched by.
heard the thunders cannonade,
The beating of his drum;
I saw the lightnings flashing blade
The hosts of heaven had come!
The mighty legions crossed the roofs
And stormed the distant hill:
Faint grew the sound of tramping hoofs.
And 10! then all was still.
At morn I saw dead crims on leaves
For DER the wide world tossed;
And now the lonely Autumn grseves
For all that she has lost.

Untouched of cold.
Life thou too keepest those prize.
Though Death walk ever near and free.
And living hands and loving eyes
Keep faith with me.

Buoyant with loves untroubled breath

Both Life and Death.

CURIOSITIES OF PUMA AND
ROMANCES OF THE REGION

to Spain with him if she were only
white like himself, and her womans
wit quickly found way of removing
the impeachment She invited him to
take bath with her in the hot water
of the cave, and there by the torch
light he saw she was as white as any
Caucasian. Knowing that the Castil-
ian's high sense of honor would bind
him to any oath he might take, the
girl extorted from him solemn prom
Use that he would make her his wife.
He plighted his troth, but as they
emerged from the darkness of the cav
ern her skin reassumed the light choco-
late color peculiar to the Puma natives.
However, the young sailor kept his
word and lived with her the rest of
his days in Puma. He did not return to
his native land and it is said his
descendants still live In the wilds of
Puma.
In some places the roof of this cavern
is twelve feet above the swimmers
head and, under the flare of the kukui
torches, presents a weird appearance.
Those who have swan in this mystic
pool relate that all desire for exploring
us DOunudrleS is QlSpelleQ by strange
fear that takes possession of them
shortly after entering the water.
If Puma possessed the crater of XII
lauea the district would contain more
natural objects of interest to the tourist
than any other section of Hawaii Ter

plexion and physique from other Ha-

A WARM water pond is one of the
n curiosities of the Puma district
- on the large Island of Hawaii.
It is on the property of Captain J. E.
Elderts, the Deputy Sheriff of Puma,
and everyone who calls at the Cap
tains ranch visits this wonderful body
of water, the temperature of which is
sufficient to partially cook an egg. No
doubt it gets its heat from some sub
terranean channel leading from the vol
cano of Kilauea, which is about fifty
miles to the westward. One of its
peculiarities is the magnifying proper
ties of the water a newspaper placed at
any depth beneath the surface being
legible to a person standing above the
water. 1t has no outlet and its exact
source has never been definitely deter
mined.
Another natural wonder, far more in
teresting than this spring on Captain
Elderts' place, is the hot lake under
the Roman Catholic Church at Kahana,
some miles nearer the volcano. 1t is a
bathing resort, tickets for the privilege
of enjoying this novel ablution or swim
being sold for ten cents each. The
visitor enters a cave, after donping a
bathing costume, and generally engages
a native to carry a torch for him. The
| pool of water has no bottom and eX-
tends an unknown distance under the
earth One can read a paper by torch
light when the paper is placed thirty
feet under the surface. This trans
lucence is not the only remarkable
thing about the pond. The bather finds
that a red perspiration comes through
the pores of that part of his body that
is under water, and with the natives
the water has the additional effect of
making their compilations appear white.
Among the Puma romances of the long
ago is one wherein the magical prop
erty of this water takes a prominent
part. With the Spanish navigators
who were believed to have taken up a
brief residence in Hawaii about $50
years ago was young man who
became enamored of a beautiful Puma
maiden. She returned his affection
falling desperately in love with him
He would marry her and take her back
