Mack Nelson, IA years old. and his young brother were fined $17 and SIP respectively. The negro was fined q. The mother of the white boys planked down A s20 bill and had her boys released. She is apparently a very poor woman. Her husband is almost a helpless cripple and her children are ragged, dirty and hope lessly ignorant and iliterate. The boys freely confessed the theft and told where they got the wheels, as if they were en- tirely unconcerned. For some time wheels have been reported stolen. These boys would go t6 houses at night, steal the wheels and store them under some resi- dence for the day. At night there was more stealing and riding around. The po- lice took the matter in hand and by good and persistent work have undoubtedly broken up the gang.

 " teal problems of our time, hao it been his fate to be born forty or nity wears later than he was, is a theme for conjecture that arises on the day when his countrymen celebrated his memory It is hard even to surmise.
 Incomparable as was his quality It took a great crisis to evoke it and tragic fate to stamp it with the seal of univer- sal reverence. There was nothing of ex- terior brilliance about the man to ot- tract attention and nothing of self-seek- ing in his nature to compel it. Abraham Lincoln did not become national figure until he was fifty years of age In our day he might never have become so There is no derogation of the man or of the time in this thought. There is rather sense of pride in the reserve strength of the American communities which shell ter so much of modest worth for the oc- caslon to discover.
 No living American suggests any close likeness to Abraham Lincoln. If one were to look for him now, he would not turn his gaze toward the older and more cultivated states, or toward the mountain commonwealth. He would turn natural ly to the prairie states, to the Dakotas, to Kansas or Nebraska or Iowa, where the essentially frontier conditions of the Illinois of half a century ago are repro duced The chances of finding him in Iowa would be greater perhaps than in any other state. and there is just sug- gestion of the man in the personality of the Iowa secretary of the treasury. Dis tinet as were the types of the two men, there is more of similarity between Abra- ham Lincoln and the President the for tune of whose administration and fate was so very like.
 Lincoln and Mckinley were not unlike

end toward which he is now working,
Mr. Damon said: 81 am deeply interest
ed in everything that will improve the
quality of our fruits and flowers. 1

the highest development of fruits and
flowers. have brought many orchids and
my continued aim is to make the varie-
ties which are grown here of the best
types.
Il became very much interested in
the Indian mangoes some years ago
after a talk with friend who insisted
to me that the grated fruit there was
highly superior to those of Manila,
which 1 then thought impossible He
told me that the fruit was very large
and perfectly delicious, that English
men there often paid from 10 to 10 cents
for single mango, the fruit being so
fine that it was necessary only to
squeeze the pulp out of the fruit when
it was eaten as custard with cream
and sugar
Twice before this 1 have attempted
to bring specimens of the trees here
with the barest success. Of those ship
nents, costing me several hundred dol
lars, L have now two growing trees.

which in time will be separated and set
out as individual trees. These speci-
mems which have now come forward
are excellent ones, and by superficial
examination indicate that they are
alive. They are sent for me from Bonn
bay to Yokohama, where they are re-
packed and then forwarded here.
1T is my aim to have the variety
Of mangoes represented by these young
trees cultivated and in time to have
them distributed so that the quality of
he fruit of the Islands may be thus i'm
proved. Mr.. Smith, of the Agricultural !
Experiment station, is with me now
the most available methods of
grating, which by the way is difficult |
operation here, and it is probable that |
something may come of the experiment. |
There is no reason why the fruit of |
Hawaii should not be as fine as any
n the world and hope to meet with
success IN my endeavors in this direc
ion."

Pat rises when the morn is new,
And so, sometimes, do I;
I see he has enough to do
AS am passing by.
His muscles seem to be of steel,
But mine sometimes relax;
While he SO sturdy seems to feel,
let him pay the tax.
Ny golden profits ne'er escape; s
1 hide them in my breast;
Pat takes his gid in different shap
And sticks it In his vest.
I count my treasures DER and DER
AS higher still they mount;
Pats go with those that went before
To swell his bank account.
Pat owns that clover field in fact.
And so I sadly fear .-N 8,
That love of gain will make him act
Just as he did last year.
The crimson blooms I priced so. high
He cut without remorse, =.
And sold the seed off hy-and-by,
And bought Norman horse. r''
No man has wealth enough to buy,
My part in this domain,
would not sell my clouds and sky.
My shadows on the plain;
I would not sell this golden light.
These tales the breezes tell,
Gold has no power to buy my right
For money Pat would sell.
I gaze at ease on every hand. .a
At our possessions fair;
Pat ploWS and soWS and reaps the Ian
