In connection with the sugar area of the
Kukaiau Plantation Company a portion OF
the land has been planted in coffee COM
prising about $50 acres In patches of from
fifteen to fifty acres the majority of the
trees being from our to ten years of age
and bearing well. The two principal varle
ties grown are the Guatemala and native
varieties, while a small amount of Java Is
raised. The lands devoted to the cultiv.-
ton Of the coffee berry are situated couple
of miles from the headquarters of the XII.
kaiau Plantation Company. at an elevation
varying from 1900 to 1000 feet, and shc.
tered from the trade winds. The coffee
crop this year will average about 1000
pounds OF green coffee to the acre, and at
present the trees are laden with the grow
ing berries. which will mature next year.
There still remains upon the trees a large
quantity Of this years crop, which Is now
being taken of as II ripens.
Located about one anu half miles from
the plantation office is the puiping and dry
ing houses, where many hands are engaged
In the pulping Of the berry washing Of the
same to remove the gum, after fermenta-
ton, and drying and sacking of the prob

forwarded to Honolulu, where 1t is cleaned
and prepared for sale. All the coffee rails
ed on the Kukaiau plantation is consigned
to H. Hackfeld & Co. and by them shipped
to all parts Of the world.
No question mas ever been raised as to
the hneness OF the aroma, purity and
healthfulness Of the beverage brewed from
the coffee berry raised on this plantation,
nor those general qualifications which IA
cilitate its profitable handling by the i'm.

The Evening Trains.

The first train leaves at Pm.
For the land where the poppy blows,
And mother dear is thA engineer,
And the passenger laughs and crows.
The palace car is the mothers arms ;
The whistle, low, aweet strain;
The passenger winks and mods and
blinks,
And goes to sleep on the train.
At P. M. the next train starts
For the poppy-land afar,
The SUNNI ons clear falls on the ear,
."All aboard for the sleeping car !"
But what is the fare to poppy land?
: hope it Is not too dear;
The fare is this-a hug and a kiss
And it's paid to *he-engineer.
So ask of Him who children took
On His knee In kindness great,
"Take charge, I pray, Of the trains
each day,
That leave at 6 and g."
Keep watch of the passengers" thus
pray,
"For to me they are very dear;
And a special ward, 0 gracious Lord,
Der the gentle engineer"

session, and as its members cav the
unexpected and unaccountable dark
ness coming on they shared in the
general awe and terror. It was sup
posed by many that the last day-the
day Of judgment-had come. Some
one, in the CONSERVATION of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator, Daven-

found at his place doing his duty, and
therefore moved that candles be
brought in so that the House could
proceed with its duty. There was

VIII Carleton's Magazine.
I was once spending the night in a
beautiful home in large city. Al
about nine O'Clock my host a gentle.
man of about fifty-ive years of age,
got up, went out into the hall and put
on bis overcoat and rubbers. Return
ing to the parlor door, he said:
"Excuse me, please, for just a few
minutes. I am going to say good
night to my motter."
His mother lived three blocks dis
tant, and for thirty years her son bad
meyer failed to go and bid her good
night, if he was in the city.
"No matter what the weather may
be, no matter who his guests are, my
husband never fails to run over to his
mothers and bid her goodnight" said
the gentleman's wife when he had
gone.
Neither he nor she could sleep if
this duty had been neglected. When
his business compels him to be away
from the city, he writes to her every
day, if only single line.
"Her mental powers are beginning
to ;ail, and she forgets many things, SO
that her mind is blank on some
points but when nine O'Clock comes
she always knows the hour, End says
1t is time for Henry to come AID bid
me good night"

Unusual Epitaph.

Greensboro Record.
A gentleman who has just returned
from South Carolina says that while II
the town Of Cheraw he took a walk
through this cemetary and saw inscrib.
ed upon one tombstone the following
strange epitapb
"My name, my country--what is that
to thee?
What, whether high or low my pedi-
gree
Perhaps l far surpassed all other men !;
Perhaps / fell below them all-what
them
Suffice 1t, stranger, that though seest a
tomb,
Thou knowest its use; it hides-no
matter whom"
There was no lettering oa the tomb
and nothing to indicate who was buried
there. This, of course, naturally ex-
cited the gentleman's curiosity and
upon inquiry he learned that the
tomb was erected over ths remains o.
4 man who while living in that town
naver told his name to any one, though
he resided there several years cY;ore
and after the Civil War.

POWER OF M0QUENCE.
A Tribute to a Dec.
HOW VEST CARRIED THE JURY.

ever paid to the dog was delivered by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, some years
ago. He was attending court ina
country town, and while waiting for
the trial OF case in which he was in.
terested he was urged ny the attorneys
IN dog case to help thenr. He was
paid a fee of $3.50 by the plaintiff.
Voluminous evidence was introduced
to show that the defendant had shot
the dog in malice, while other evidence
went to show that the dog had attacked
defendant. Vest took no part in the
trial and was not disposed to speak.
The attorneys, however, urged him to
make speech, else their client would
not think he had earned his fee. Be-
ing thus urged he arose, scanned the
face of each juryman for moment,
and said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in the world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove un-
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we trust with
our happiness and our good name, may
become traitors to their faith. The
money that man has he may lose. It
flies away from him perhaps when he
needs it most. A mans reputati may
be sacrificed in moment of ill-consid-
cred action. The people who are prone
to fall on their knees to do us honor
when success is with us may be the first
to throw the stone OF malice when tail
ure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfsh friend that
man can haye in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacherous
is the dog. A mans dog stands by him
in prosperity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground, where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives fercely, if
only he may be near his masters side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food
to offer he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
OF the world. He guards the
sleep OF his pauper mas.er as if he
were a prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation tails to pieces he
is as constant in his love as the sun
in its journeys through the heavens. If
fortune drives the master forth an out
east in the world, friendless and home
less, the faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that OF accompanying
him, to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies. And when the last
scene of all comes, and death takes the
master in its embrace, and his body is
laid away in the cold ground, no mat
ter if all other friends pursue their
way, there by the graveslde will the
noble dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad, but open in
alert watchfulness, faithful and true
even in DEATH"
Then Vest sat down. He had spoken
in low voice, without gesture. He
made no reference to the evidence or
the merits of the case. When he finish
ed judge and jury were wiping their
eyes. The jury filed out, but soon en-
tered with a verdict, in favor of the
plaintiff for $500. He had sued for $500
It is even said that some of the jurors
wanted to hang the defendant.

And now they take photographs sue

The Philadelphia Record few days
ago printed a good picture which was
transmitted by telegraph between
Cleveland, o., and st. Louis, Mo. This
is truly wonderful, but we need not be
lrprised at it. The twentieth century
hoIds many promises which 1t Will have
a hard time to make good, neverthe
less it will doubtless bring forth many
things that it has not promised.
Ex-Congressman George III. White
is reported to have said that he will
not live in North Carolina if the con-
stitutional amendment stands. This
declaration has brought gu
considerable newspaper comment
from various quarters. White, it
seems has intimated that he will live
in Washington or New York, and the
Washington Post thinks that consider
ing his obligations to his race in North
Carolina for having given him the
v ar o positions he has held, he
ought to remain with them and labor
with them. Says the Post: "We say
to Mr.. White that his mission is at the
South, in the land of his birth, among
his own people. He can do much
there. He can do nothing here or
farther North.'
And so the Post does not want White
IN Washington, and there has been no
publication of the fact that New York
is especially anxious for him.

Douglasville, Ga, some one said, is a
very pretty town. The people of the

rate of thirty or forty miles an hour.
This raised such protest with the
people the town authorities passed an
ordinance that trains should move
through the town at the rate of four
miles an hour. Rev. Sam P. Jones
recently passed through the town AID
1t being two miles long it took him
thirty minutes to pass through. This
so disgusted Mr.. Jones that he wrote a!
scorching letter to the Atlanta Journal
saying that he had passed through
DouglasviIle at the speed of thirty
miles an hour and the town look ed
much better passing through it at that
speed than at the rate of four miles an
hour. He said up North he can ride
on trains that whiz through towns Of
thirty and forty thousand people at
speed of a mile minute. He winds Up
by calling Douglasville "a one horse
town." and 1t remains to be seen what
the good people of that so-called pretty
town will do with him for writing as
be has.
