A New Won,nn.

She was ''swagger" and bold,
She was heartless and cold,
An amazon, body and mind;
He, white liyered youth,
Fuzzy Tipped and uncouth,
OF the goody good, mammals boy" kind.
She was laying her plan
To annihilate man
And build q new world, but one day
He said, "Wiil you wed? o.
And she pillowed her head
On his breast in the old fashioned way.

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the ssimpos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's a way. off we
could but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn cod liv-
er oil into palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the impossible had been &C.
complished. It is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritive and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DIR. rockingham so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freely and confidently for
Hysteria, Wasting Complaints,
Anemia, Blood Impurities, Asth-
ma, and Throat and Lung Trou-
bles. DR.. W. Fl. B. Atkins, Ply
stefan to Toronto General Hos
pital, says: "I am much pleased
to state that the results from
using Wampole's Preparation of
Cod Liver Oil have been uni
formly satisfactory; it appealed
to me as being prepared accord
ing to correct scientific prinei-
pies" It increases the appetite
and influences the digestion OF
food; it is delicious to take, will
not disappoint you, and is effec-
tive from the first dose. One bot
tie convinces. At all chemists.

THE WITCH DOCTORS.

For it was not more than twenty
years ago that the kahunas prayed
people to death, even as they did dur
ing Captain Cooks time; indeed their
services as exorcists were in demand
on the day that the stars and stripes
were hoisted for the first time over the
government palace at Honolulu, Ether,
they were asked to use their incanta-
lions for the purpose of driving the
foreigners into the sea. So that som:
of those old witch doctors stiil live in
their grass huts ON mountain sides
and although their practices are for
hidden by law, yet there is little doub'
that they still listen to those who IL
woke their powers.
Under the belief that kahuna could
pray the soul out of a man or woman
many crimes were undoubtedly com.
mitted in the Hawaiian Islands in year:
gone by, for it is evident that after re,
ceiving their fee for services that would
result in death they resorted to the
use of poison and thus retained thail
prestige. But so skilIfully were the
deeds of violence committed that fol
centuries no one suspected the truth
and it was believed that these white
haired priests possessed the power t;
kill by the means of prayer alone.
THE DANCING.
The hula-hula girl, though more mod
ern than the kahuna, is also becoming
rarity, owing to the objection to thei
form of dancing offered by the new
Corners on the islands. This criticism
on the part of foreigners could not b,
understood by the natives when frs
offered, for the hula girl was to then
the poetry of motion and her every &C
was the expression of a Hawaiial
song.
These girls were trained for thei
| dances WHILE yet in the cradle, whel
| women WHO were expert in the con
volutions that would be necessary
twisted their limbs and kneaded tn
| little ones muscles until they becam
supple as acrobats.
| Kahilis and robes made from birds
feathers speak of a day when gorgeou
| feathered songsters filled the trees an
bushes of the islands. But alas for tn

REVOLUTION NIpPED.

The momentous night arrived. the
revolutionists were gathered in groups
in different parts of the city, some as
cavalry. some as infantry and others
with a rapid-fire gun as artillery. The
greater number were assembled with
the crowd that twice a week gathered
to hear the band play. Now it hap
pened that the girl who had overheard
the plot did not dare reveal what she
knew to the government officials, for
her lover was one of the conspirators
and if his name was once revealed, he
stood in danger of death at the hands
of firing squad. So, knowing what the
signal for the uprising was to be, she
adopted other means to prevent the &C.
| currence. Going to the band leader
when he was half through the pro-
gram. she coaxed him to substitute an
| other piece for Hawaii Ponoi" and
when the hour arrived for the conclud-
! ing number of the night, imagine the
establishment of the revolutionists al
| hearing the strains of THE Star Span
| gled Banner brust forth from the
brasses. They became completely de-
moralized and the revolution was nip
ped in the bud.

The Kansas City Journal says: Ha-
wall, at the worlds fair of 1904, will
show to the world her advancement
under American rule and at the same
time will present persons and ehings
that speak of the days when the Ka-
mehamehas ruled the land and super
stition was rampant.
Prince Cupid-he of the erstwhile
royal family who is now a delegate TO
the national congress from the mid
Pacific group said while in st. Louis
| recently that Hawaiian exhibit would
be incomplete without a kahuna,
hula-hula girl, kahili, and robe
made from feathers of the 90 bird.
And he also said that these links which
bind the present with the past could
still be found in different parts OF the
country.

THE BAND COMING.
Prince Cupid was asked whether the
Royal Hawaiian band would come 20
St. Louis and replied that a popular
subscription for that purpose was being
raised in the Islands. There is an in
teresting story told of events in the
winter of 1902. which shows that a pref
ty American girl and this band con-
spired to prevent revolution.
She. a pretty girl, had overheard of 3
plot to restore Liliuokalani to the
throne. The conspirators had agreed
to make dash on the palace on a. GER
tain evening and the signal was to be
the first strains of Hawaii Ponoi'
played by the band. From time inn
memorial this national anthem had
been the concluding number to every
concert

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.

The first annual report ON the pro-
gress of arid land reclamation under
the act passed by congress in June
1902, will show that numerous pro-
jects are under investigation and that
work of some kind is progressing in
nearly every state of the arid region.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
the temporary withdrawal of land
from entry, except by homestead, in
contemplation of it's possible reclama-
tion. has induced some persons to
make homestead entries which may
lead to disappointment.
The fact that land is thus with
drawn from entry is not an assurance
that projects for its reclamation will
be carried out. Its withdrawal is
considered necessary because irriga-
tion works in connection with it may
be constructed, and it is desired that
IN that event lana SDOulu uOb Do tdheu
up under other conditions than those
contemplated by the irrigation act
But some persons have been induced
to take up homestead claims in the
belief that the reclamation works will
surely be constructed. notwithstand-
ing no assurance of that kind is given
out.
Subsequently when such persons
find that the looked for works will
not be built, they are disappointed,
and there is no doubt more or less dis
position to criticize the government
officials. 1t is fortunate that such
mistakes are made. but it seems that
Mr Newell and others connected with
exclamation work have done all in
their power to prevent persons from
making entries of this kind. Denver
