Colors and ChiIdren,s Moods.

According to writer in the Nursery,
matrons of infant asylums say that Il
young infant will be cross all day If
dressed in a gray frock, but contented
and happy if dressed in bright red
frock. Children from two to four are
much less affected by the color of their
dresses. 1t is commonly observed in
kindergartens that the younger chill
dren prefer the red playthings, while
the older children prefer the blue.

Reauest of Henry Clay.

There are some disadvantages which
attach themselves to persons who have
become famous. These, however, Of
ten have their ludicrous side. 1t is
said that at one time Henry Clay, the
American statesman, was travelling in
the West, and stopped over night in
a little fog cabin inhabited by an old
man and his wife. After breakfast the
next morning his old host, who had
been in a fiutter of excitement ever
since he learned who his distinguished
guest was, said he would like to make
q slight request before the visitor de-
parted.
Couldn't ye," he said, with evident
anxiety, couldn't ye jest make my
wife an me a little speech before leave

IN THE AISLE.
She was maid of honor

She was maid of honor
And I was his best man,
And in the aisle we loitered while
The wedding march began!
NY heart was wildly beating,
My breast was full of pride,
For fairest of the fair ones there
Was that one at my sidei
The people turned and whispered
And turned again, to see,
And for awhile there in the aisle =
The gods were good to met
I saw the maiden blushing,
We two outshone the rest,
I heard her sigh, my head was high.
And joy was in my breast!
She was maid of honor
And was his best man,
And then my pride ignobly died,
And there my shame began
Her train was long and splendid,
And suddenly, somehow.
My feet and it got blended
And we are strangers powt

Will HERD IN HILO
ELKs LODGE TO BE INSTITUTED
THIS MONTH.
Elks Milk Being Bottled and Forage
Cut for the Event in Great Quantities.
Seventy Join.

The Elk's pilgrimage to Hilo has been
definitely decided upon for Tuesday
March Is when they will steam away
on the Kinau. About thirty of the To-
cal lodge accompanied in some cases by
their wives, will compose the party
and help to corral seventy-five baby
Elks who are waiting for initiation
before joining the HilO Herd.
Exalted Ruler Cooper will be at the
head of the visiting party, having late
ly been granted powers enabling him to
establish lodges in Hilo and elsewhere
in his Jurisdiction. Most Of the regular
officers will accompany him and the
tOTturers' committee has been especial
ly enlarged for the occasion, 1t being
the intention of the installers to put
every one of the HilO nOVitiates through
a full course, a procedure which Will
necessitate several sets Of breakers and
branders to take each others places
as they become exhausted.
HilO, with thirty eight charter mem
bers and thirty seven who have handed
in their names since, is making great
preparations to conduct themselves to
the altar of sacrifice duly fed and gar
nshed They have already organized a
HilO Elks' quartet with Prouty at the
head and an Elks' band, while caterers
are busy drawing up the menu for the
gTandest banquet yet produced In Hilo,
for the honor of the occasion.
Wilder and Company have made spe-
Cial rates to Elks and their guests for
the round trip and many cabins have
| been reserved for their use. The re-
duced fare will allow of an extension
for eleven days in case any Of the Ho-
| nolulu contingent wish to visit the vol
cano but the bulk of the party will come
back on the return trip of the Kinau on
March %.
The Hilo installation will create quite
stir in Elk circles 1t being very un-
usual for a town of Hilo's populatiQJ
to bring out seventy five candidates. at
the first installation. Few towns in
the Eastern States can boast Of so large
! start.

ITO STOP THE ROAD WAIT TWO YEARS.
RAPID TRANsITs WAIKIKI ROAD
BUILDING.
Banana and Rice Plantation owners
Seek to Restrain the Electric Com
pany From Further Extension

Suit was begun this morning in the
circuit court by T.. NJ Brooks, r. w.
BreckOns and j. j. Dunno counsel for
the Hawaiian Tramways Company and
the Sun KwOng Mau Company, to re-
strain the Rapid Transit Company
from extending its roadbed and tracks
across the McCully tract. An injuuc-
tiOn is asked to stop the work now
going in the electric roads efforts to
lay tracks to Waikiki.
The Sun kWOng Mau Company, in
whose name the suit is brought is a
partnership owning the rice, banana
and vegetable plantation at Waikiki,
through which the Raid Transit Com
pany has almost completed the con-
struCtion of a road. The plantation
consists of a tract of 1874 acres, irri-
gated by an elaborate system of ditch
es with which it is claimed the Rapid
Transit work interferes. 1t is set forth
that on January q last the electric
road intruded and trespassed upon the
plantation and that the company
pumped out, and is still continuing to
pump out water from the irrigation
bitches. Crops are being torn up and
destroyed and the defendants, it is
stated have appropriated and are
fencing off for their own use a strip
of the plaintiffs land go feet wide and
1900 feet in length already.
The petitioner alleges that the Rapid
Transit company was notified on jan
uary 2S to desist from further trespass,
but that instead of doing so, the COM
pany increased it's force of labOrers at
work of the land alleged to have been
seized.
The plaintiff alleges that irrepara-
BILE damages are being sustained by
the plantation by reason of the acts
of the railroad company The court
is asked to perpetually restrain the
Rapid Transit company from continu-
ing it's work of road d-cOnstruction, to
order the company off the land and
order it to remove their appliances
therefrOm. The Waikiki Land and
Loan Association and James Makee
are defendants with the Rapid Transit
and Land Company.

LOST BUT ONE BLADE

The damage to the propeller of the
transport Warren does not appear to
have been so bad as was first report
ed. Captain QuaTtermaster Cannon
said that only one blade had been lost.
This was evidently broken between
here and San Francisco. After the
transport left here yesterday, it was
apparent that something serious had
occurred to her propeller, so she put
back for the reason that she was close
to port. Divers are at work today try
ing to unbolt the piece of propeller
which remains on the hub, so that a
new blade can be substituted. In case
this can not be done a second blade
on the opposite side of the hub to that
already broken will be broken off, and
the vessel continue to Manila and Gu
am with only two blades to the wheel.
1t is not known now how long the
transport will have to remain in port.

MANY CIGARS

The customs inspectors made an eX-
tensive seizure of Manila cigars yester-
day. The Chinese store just makai of
Lucas planning mill on Front street
was long suspected of dealing in
smuggled cigars. An inspector visited
the place, in company with another
man, and about 1900 Manila cigars
without the Internal Revenue stamps
affixed were found. Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue Roy Chamberlain was no
tilted and took possession of the seiz-
uTe.
1t is very likely that the cigars were
smuggled in here from the transport
Warren as the customs people have al
ways had more or less complaint at
this sort of work when the transports
are in port.

SAMPANSAR MISSING SAW GOOD SAILING
EIGHT JAPANESE BLOWN MILES
OUT TO SEA.
Have Been out Three Days and Must
BE Destitute Of Provisions-Search
Parties to the Rescue.

Six and possibly eight Japanese fish
ermen i'm two sampans are somewhere
off the islands. blown out TO sea with
the heavy wind. Market Inspector
Louis Berndt reports that today is the
third day since the fishermen went out
and their fellow toiers are anxious
about their fate. Four men are known
to have gone out i'm one sampan and
two certainly i'm another while Others
state that four men went i'm each
boat.
Whether the sampans have been lost
IN the gale or are now trying to beat
their way in, the crews are probably
hard put to it for provisions the small
supply of water and prOvender with
which they usually stock up for a one
night trip having been by this time
exhausted hours ago.
1t is possible that the IroquOis will
steam out to the rescue today. Several
japanese started out early this morn
ing in big sampan to see if they could
rescue their fellow Countrymen but
with the sea running as high as It is
at present and the wind still bOisterOus
II is doubtful if they run across them.
Even If they came within half a mile
Of their search the small sampans
which will probably only have rags
of sail exposed if they have not been
blown away bodily would be hard to
find from another craft of the same
freeboard
The sampans are not great craft on
close points of sailing and the bulky
steering oars are hard affairs to man
age in heavy sea. There is a possi-
bility that the missing men were en-
abled to put in down Eva way but the
mariners of the water front seem to
think that the only thing they could
have done during the gale was to low
er everything except the veriest mite of
sail and run before the wind.
Working back from far out at sea
would be a tedious business with the
men worn out by watching and lack of
food but the rescue party may meet
them some twenty miles out trying to
get back to land.
1t has been decided that the Iroquois
will not go out in search at this time.

at the Eva end of the harbOr. The old

The wind blew a regular gale from off
