from her own family, as well as from the
French nuns Mrs Drexel had received many
old-fashoned ideas of thrift and economy.
So, though her daughters were to inherit
large fortunes. she taught them to make
their own clothes and trim their hats and
saw that they were Instructed in all branches
Of Homework.
That this training was not lost Is proved
by an incident related by Mother Katharine
before she became nun. One morning she
visited an institution for Homeless boys In
which her family was interested. In the
laundry of the establishment Miss Katha.
rine found several women ironing the boys
shirts in careless manner stopping them,

her mothers death followed four years
later. Then Miss Katharine began to think
of her vocation. At 6rst she had decided to

she had been educated, but one day Mrs

take them too long to IRON the sheets better.
They thought 1t would be an easy matter to
impose upon a rich young woman like Miss
Drexel. To their surprise Miss Katharine
told them to lay aside their Irons and let
her show them how she wished the work
done. Then. putting on an apron aud select

those laundresses a lesson in shirt ironing
which they would not soon forget. When

MILK PLENTIFUL,
DEALERS ARE GOOD

Milk is plentiful now" said Food
Commissioner Shorey yesterday, which
is the reason that it was of so much
better quality last month than ordina--
lily. When the milkmen have to throw
away their surplus milk there is no in
centive for adulterating it by adding
water, which accounts for the fact that
the tests last month were unusually
high, showing large percentages of SOL
ids and butter fats.
Good pasturage is responsible for the
plentifulness of milk. December and
January have been good months for
cattle. There was plenty of rain, and
also lots of grass. Milk is pretty much
the same all the year round in Hawaii
In the States cows give the best milk
in May and June, but here the pastur-
age is about the same all the time

THIEVES ON
MAUI BUSY
Burglars Put the
Police on Their
Mettle.
Heavy Losses and No
Arrests Have Yet
Been Made.
Deputy Sheriff Thinks he Has
His Eye on the Right
Parties.

MAUI, Jan. 17.-Burglars have been
on the island of Maui recently, great
ly to the loss and discomfort of honest
men, and the police so far only promise
that they will make arrests shortly"
The first of the present series of rob
berries took place two nights before
Christmas. On that night the Paia
plantation store was entered and more
than one hundred dollars worth of
watches, rings and jewelry of various
sorts taken. 1t is supposed that the
thief hid himself away in the store
during the daytime and, waiting until
after closing hours, walked away with
his plumber. AT all events he went out
by the front door, which he had forced
open from the inside.
About ten days ago the Paia depot
was broken into in the night and
$1S taken from the money drawer.
The thieves entered through the back
door of the warehouse, removing the
staples from the lock.
On the night of Tuesday, the 18th,
the Kula saloon at Pulehuiki, run by
George Forsyth, was burglarized and
eight bottles of assorted liquor and
$3.50 in cash taken.
There is a gang of Porto Ricans that
has come under suspicion of these vari-
Gus offenses, and Deputy Sheriff Morton
is keeping close tab upon them but as
yet has made no arrests although he
will probably take some of the sus-
pected parties into custody today.
