of the first owner, the late General

much game with it, but now 1t has
been retired with honor and full pay to
pass the remainder Of it's days, or CEN
turtles, as a relic of one Of the greatest
characters this country has ever pro-
duced. It is a formidable looking
weapon, originally of the f1intlock type,
with a 40-caliber bore. The barrel was
originally forty-six inches long, but
some of it a been cut off and 1t Is
now only forty and one-half inches. It
was presented to Dayid Crockett soon
after his second election to congress in
1929, by some of his admiring young
whig friends Of Philadelphia. It cost
$3.50 and was made especially for him.
The donors raised the money by con
tributtng half a dollar each to the fund.
The stock Is trimmed in sterling silver,
appropriately designed, with figures Of
the Goddess Of Liberty, a raccoon, a
deer's head. and other figures. Along
the upper part of the barrel are the
letters, set into the metal In gold, some
of which has worn out: Presented by

similar letters near the muzzle are the
words: go Ahead.HS

THE VOICES OF THE STARS.

King Louis loved roses. All that was
royal in his nature went out TO the
royal flower; whatever desire OF beauty
lay hidden in his heart found its graft
fication in it's splendid colors, In its
splendid odors. The Greeks believed
that the red rose came into being on
the fair day when Venus, seeing Asca-
MUS slumbering on a bed Of white
roses, pressed handsful Of the blossoms
to her lips, and the pale petals blushed
beneath the kisses Of the goddess. Louis
the Eleventh knew nothing of the le-
gend, but the red rose was his fancy
and a. corner of the royal garden was
dedicated to its service. In the Oldest

On the morning after his visit to the

or vine here and there by the chance
occupants Of the place In former years,
but when given a chance everything

at Howland's which has a diameter Of
seven or eight inches near the ground,

browsed over yearly by sheep, cattle
and horses; at Middle ranch are two
big pear trees which are loaded with

these facts, F. H. Lowe, Who has been
obliged to relinquish most of his in

health, is proposing to start an expert

fine well has been dug which will afford
all the water needed for irrigation pur-
poses. He will plant strawberries.
blackberries, Loganberries, apple,
peach, apricot and pear trees and vines.
and he confidently expects that within
a very few years all the fruit and ber-
ries needed on the island will be pro-
duced here.

HIT By A SHOT

People coming up from down the
road in yesterday afternoons train had
a very unpleasant experience and one
man came very near losing an eye.
The train had pulled in a; Wahiawa
and was just starting out again on the
way to Honolulu, when there was a
yell and the loud report Of a gun near
the window of the car in which several
passengers were seated.
The day being warm, the windows
were up and shots ratified about on
the floor and against the sides of the
car. Accompanied by the sound of
striking shot was yell from one of
the front seats where a Chinaman was
sitting He rubbed his forehead and
blood showed on his finger. One of the
shot had become embedded in the
mans forehead, just above the eye,
Had It struck little lower, the eye
might have been put out.
The passengers looked out of the
window and saw Chlnaman standing
patch. ramming home another charge
of powder. 1t was he who had care
lessly fired in the direction of the
car. The train was beginning to get
up considerable speed and as no one
wished to get out to have the fellow
arrested, he escaped with a few swear
words thrown in his direction.
