A SPRING SPREE.
The Insinuating Brew, May Wine, and
 It's Delights

It's Delights.
 Have a glass Of May wine?" asked the naatron as she opened a slender necked German wine bottle and poured out a clear, pale, amber liquid that perfumed the room with 8 delicate aroma.
 May wine,'' echoed the girl. ssand out of apple blossoms?"
 "Oh, no; made from German grape fruit, but the tiny blossoms of a little sblue-white flower. that blooms in the spring go toward giving it this bouquet Inhale, land the matron held the glass under the pretty, pink nostri1s of the girl.
 An, how delicious! I see a meadow and a hillside all fecked with little starry blossoms. hear robins, and smell Arcadia"
 Taste" said the matron, and the girl obeyed.
 "Whyl It is a liquid spring song What makes it? and will it illtoxfcateg P questioned the girl.
 What makes it?'s' Good Germans go out ia the country and gather lit. He flower which they call sMaibIuna' ir the merry month of May They lay il E IN wine. and in week or so this is the result. 'Willit fntoxieate?' They say men may drink of May wine prodiga1 ", but I will tell you funny little story of my experience. My husband came home late one night and brought as a peace offering abottle Of May wine. Not caring to drink 1t then, set 1t on the window sill to keep cool until the morrow. An unfortunate movement knocked the bottle off the sill and heard it break on the bricks in the yard below. looked out the window to behold my May wine run. hing down the gutter in a rivulet of de licious perfume fantalizing to my dis appointed olfactories! At breakfast the next morning our landIady looked very solemn and greeted us with tears In her eyes. Oh, madame. Oh, mon sfeur. Poor Duke! fear he is going to die. He acts so strange and looks so queer. and is so stupid. Come see. We followed her out into the yard and there on the grass lot lay the great magnificent St Bernard. Duke. as drllnl, as a lord on my. May wine! gazed al the vanished rivrlet and walked in to breakfast. My husband assured the landlady that Duke would recover and they say men may drink May wine with innpunity"
 The girl sat her glass down. .'Gir1s and dogs, then. must needs be careful of this frlsinuating spring brew--Nay win! !-Idpp ppincott's Magazine.

OLD TIME EATERS.
The Big Fellows That the Pitchers
 Scared Half to eDath.

The Big Fellows That the Pitchers Scared Half to eDath.
 "It seems to me- quoth Happy Jack Chesbro, the great pitcher of Clark Grimth's team, as he sat on the bench at the South Side base ball park in Ohl' cago, the other day, to Critic Pheloni ''that the science of base ball has ad. vanced faster than most people calcu: late.
 ""The batsmen have gone ahead just as much as the pitchers, and maybe bit more so. Clarkson. Keefe. Buf1ng' husky in their time, but@I'd like to sef ting against them. Why, Keeler would worry them til they wouldn't know what to do with the bali"
 Clark Griffith grtnned. <.
 ''I came Into the big league said he sat time when there were few sur. vfvors of the old-tirne batsmen, as well az the last remnants of the great pitch CTS you are cracking at. S5
 1T have seen those old fellows bat and I'll tell you right now that you have never known what it was to stand up there and see Anson, Brouthersl Connor or Pete Browning walking tc the plate.
 'eSince you didn't, you can never know the kipd of qualmy feeling that came over a pitcher when one of the giants Of the past came up with h1ss bag bat a-swinginS. @
 When they hit a ball you shut youI eyes and prayed, They hit straight and true. and the ball came like cannon shot. When they passed out or the game you can bet the pitchers breathed 4easier.
 ''Those old chaps were a different make of men from the players of to- day. The kingpin slugger of those times was always of gigantic size, With Immense shoulders, usually a huge dark mustache and savage eye.
 "Ag a rule he was well on in years, and walked like an elephant going for exercise. The bulk of them. the grim old faces. the air of absolute confidence and the knowledge that if they hit 2 liner at you your name 1t was squash, all combined to scare 8 pitcher half to deatht
 s'You can thank you luck they don happen that way any more" x ssIow about Wagner and LaJoieF' cut in Jimmy Williams.
 ''In size, build and hitting ability assented Griff, they are much like the old timers, but they don't scare you So much At that think you have shaky feelings round the knees when you see Isajoie coming up." < .'Can't see your arguments said Chesbro. ttThose fellows may have hit hard, but they didn't worry so many free bases and safe bunts out of a piteher.'S
 , faThey lidn't?'' laughed Griffith. May. be some of them didn't. but if you ever had Mike Kelly or Buck Ewing UT you'd learn lot of ways about gettins to base. They could extract a pass from pitcher just as nicely as even little Willie here. And once on the bases. oh. misery! You couldn't sec anything but puffs of dust from sack to sack as they slid around the bends.
 tsYour modern. scienced batsnaen are all right, but it was glad day for pitchers when Browning. Anson, Orr. Brouthers, Connor Ewing. Kelly and O'Neil passed from the game"

Nof an EngIiah Bulldog.

A snobbish young Englishnan, ac- conpanied by small dog, recently got into street CUT and sat doNn~op- poaite an Irishunan. The iaiter was Immediately attracted by the animal, and after some advances, which were haughtily received by the master, asked outright what kind of a dog it was.
 stIt is a cross between n ape and an Irishmar1," ," was the lolld-voieed reply.
 'sFaith, thin, we're both related to th' baste,' retorted the Irishman, cheerfully London Star.

Your advertising should reflect the spirit, the enterprise and the attrac- tive features of your store as truly as a mirror would do. By and through your advertising you project glimpse of your business into the homes of the city. 1t is bad policy to make this reflection too modest; it Is suicide to make it lack fidelity.

RETRENCHMENT IN
BOARD OF HEALTH

There will be retrenchment the first
of the year.
Governor Carter made this announce
ment relative to the Board of. Health
after his stated audience to DR.. Cooper,
president of that body, yesterday.
At the meeting the work of the Board
In all Its divisions was discussed also
the appropriations for the department.
AS a consequence there is to be a
shortening of sail in the department at
the beginning of the new year. SO that
1t may weather the financial gales even
now beginning to blow from the op-
position of the Territory and the
County.
While there will be an unexpended
balance credited to the Board at the
end of the year according to the pres
ent rate of outlay, 1t is doubtful IL there
will be cash enough to maintain that
rate for the remaining three weeks.
There Is no doubt at all, from the Gov
ernor's dictum already quoted, that the
ratio of expenditure from the first of
1904 will be reduced.

Therefore, my fellow citizens with
such a possession and with bright
future already dawning. 1t becomes
you to be uncompromsingly faithful
to the institutions and to the flag OF
your country, to accept and absorb all
the blessings of cosmopolitan Ameri-
canism, and also, because you are
Americans, to stand firm and unyield-
ing for your personal and local rights,
which are the life-giving essence of
American civilization.

Mr.. Smith then read the following
letter written by Edgar Caypless:
Honolulu, Hawaii, Dec. 7th, 1903.
Messrs. r. II. Trent and e. a. Nc
Inerny, Committee.
My dear sirs: Regret is most sincere
with me that cannot be at. the town
meeting" tonight. Not only because l
appreciate the distinguished honor Of
being assigned as a speaker. but that a
meeting in harmony with gentlemen
representing different political parties
and factions, for the common good Of
the community, is something | have
long desired.
We are a small community, and 1t
should not be difficult to agree as to the
greater necessities for which we must
depend upon Congress-, or subordinate
branches, and such meetings as this Of
tonight should certainly be productive
of good.
will be glad IL you will give the
time allotted to me to some one who
can, probably, better advance ideas as
to the necessities of the hour, and as
sure you that am at all times with
and for Hawaii mel: physical inability
alone prevents me from being present
tonight, and 1 trust you Will, If neces
sary, state the fact.
With assurance of esteem,
Very sincerely yours,
EDGAR CAYPLESS.
