| bored into his corn. And when they
| attacked his rhubarb he was ready to-
give up. Last year he left the place,
abandoned his farm ana it is now leas-
ed to Japanese who grow vegetables
for themselves and have kept the
worms away from the rhubarb. The,
rhubarb is still being marketed in Ho-
nolulu.
Some time before that also n good
deal of Walmea land was put in straw
berries. The berries were fine. sweet
favored and luscious and they were
canned for marketing. As much as "A
hundred pounds day were canned
and shipped to Honolulu. Then the
roads became impossible, the berries
could not be shipped to market and the
enterprise was abandoned. The cut
worms do not attack Strawberries here,
the roads are fairly good and there is
chance for u practical man to make
strawberry cultivation a success again.
f. w. Carter, manager of the Parker
ranch, also experimental with small
farming. He planted corn. one year
1t did well, but the next year the cut
worms destroyed the young plants
Altogether the Parker ranch has spent
several thousand dollars in experiments
and the present policy offers every en-
couragement to the small farmer.
Several attempts have been made to
get rid of the unwelcome pest. Paris
green has been tried and is "A partial
success. one suggestion made by ID.
l.. Van Dine was the digging of holes
or trenches about the planted fields.
This was tried and n ditch six feet deep
and two feet wide was filled with mil
lions of the worms-almost to the top.
But the winged moth or butterfly de-
posted Its eggs within the fields and
the worms were as numerous as ever

remedy may yet be the means which |

Administration towards all Americans
of respectable personal character, has
declared in substance that no man who
voted for Palmer in 1896 can receive
the nomination this year. Whether
this special inhibition be observed or
disregarded, the Democracy will not
at this time be effectively consolidated.
There are too many discordant and
turbulent factions to be consulted, and
the time has not come for successful
reconstruction. Mr.. Cleveland might
have been a strong candidate but he
places his Americanism on too high a
plane to aspire to a third term. There
is no available statesman to fill his
place.
Mr. Roosevelt will be elected and the
ordinary Republican majority, which
the prosperous times and his admins
trative capacity would have secured,
will be augmented by an unusually
large non-partisan vote.

Many DRINKS for a Dollar.

In the United States the Mexican dol
lar has an exchange value of 90 cents
In Mexico the American silver dollar
has the same value. On the frontier
of the United States, where Texas
joins Mexico, there are two saloons, one
on each side of the frontier. A man
buys ten cent drink of whiskey at
the American saloon and pays for it
with an American silver dollar, receiv-
ing Mexican silver dollar in change
With this he crosses the border goes
into Mexican saloon, hands over the
Mexican dollar for a ten cent drink
and receives an American dollar in
change. 1t is evident that the limit
of his purchasing power is the length
of time he can stand He finally
wakes up with bad headache and the
American dollar with which he started.
Who paid for the whiskey?-London

WAIMEA, Jan. 25.-Waimea Is the
ideal place for small farmers-the soil
is rich, water is plenty, fruits and
vegetables grow well, but-but until the
poko-the destructive cut-worm, is
eliminated, Waimea might as well be in
the center of the Sahara desert.
There are dozen homesteads in the
Waimea plains, and there is land in
plenty-and of fine quality, for home
seekers, but the cut-worm is in the
way. There are millions of them-and
millions of them have been slaughter
ed, but for every one that is killed it
seems as if a dozen takes its place Men
from the Experiment Station have WIS.,
tied the place and prescribed "a cure
but the remedy Is not effective. 1t Is "a
pity, too, for if the cut-worm is once
gotten rid of, Waimea will become the
garden spot of the islands.
Small farming has been tried on the
plains-by practical farmers too; men
who knew their business, and men who
were willing to spend their money on
what proved to be a costly experiment.
Long of California came down with
an Italian; practical gardener and
he put several thousands of dollars
into the farm. The first year he plant
ed just a few acres in cabbages,
rhubarb and small vegetables. That
year he made 1t IA success and made
money. His cabbages were marketed
In Honolulu at a profit. Wilder's Steam
ship Co. made him a special rate of
$3.50 ton, which is half the regular
rate, and he shipped hundreds OF mag
nificent cabbages to Honolulu every
week. The next year, encouraged by
his first success, he planted twenty
acres in cabbages, rhubarb, corn, tur-
nips and other vegetables. Then the
cut-worms came. They ate up his cab
bages, they devoured his turnips, they

 Mrs. Cranston led her into summer house near the carriage drive. It had two compartments and entrances from different walks. Before answering, Mrs. Cranston peered cautiously through the wooden latticework that separated the two rooms.

VEGETARIAN SWIMMERS.

Their Triumph Over Meat Eaters In
 Canadian Contest.
 In long distance swimming race re- gently across Toronto bay, in Canada, from Che Yonge street wharf to the swimming club, on the island lagoon, says the Toronto Star, there was fought battle between vegetarians and meat eaters. The course was about two miles in length, and H. F. Strickland of Toronto, a vegetarian, made the journey in the record time of fifty min utes. George H. Corson, another vege- tartan, made the course in fifty-two minutes. Two Englishmen had come over to swim in the race-sturdy beef eaters from the land of roast beef-but they found the pace too fast and drop ped out midway on the course. It was a handicap contest, but in actual time vegetarianism scored decisive victory
 The race was not announced as contest between yegetarians and meat eaters, but Messrs. Strickland and Cor son resolved to give it that turn They entered. Like others, they trained On the day of the race their sole diet was pea butter. For a week they reduced their ordinary vegetarian diet to sim pies, such as pea butter, peanuts and raw fruit Before setting out in the race they informed the astonished meat fed Englishmen, who were supposed to be the best men in the contest, that they were vegetarians, had eaten no meat for years and intended to prove the superiority of their diet.
 They did 1t. AS they glided through the waves they were borne up by the consciousness that they were vindicat- ing vegetarianism. 10 others it was a race for glory. To Messrs. Strickland and Corson it was an opportunity of showing meat fed world the error of its ways. They were men with mis- sion. A great cause relied on them, and inspired, fired by this knowledge, they slipped through the water with ease and made their meat laden com petftors look like stationary objects.
 A long swim is one of the severest physical tests to which man can be put, and in order to settle conclusiveIy the respective merits of pea butter and beefsteak another race, specially arr ranged for the purpose, should be brought about, two men a side, over a two mile course. It would draw a large crowd of butchers and market gardeners to cheer their respective champions.

 They found the young grocer in the rear of his store, with his coat off, di-
 recting negro porter who was stack ing car load of four in bags against the wall.
 "Hellop' said Kenner. "How's busi-
 ness today?"
 Little off," replied Bob, "but a fair

 "Looky' here, Bob," said Kenner, with
 a seductive smile, 'I've been bankin' on you, my boy, an scotchin' fer you, but you are gittin' old enough to sorter quit yore devilment- I've been hearin'

 said Bob "an' don't want no med

 Johnston House, the only hotel In the place. It was full of travelling salesmen and wagoners from the mountains, who had come in to sell their cotton.

Hf you hqin't got nothin' to do let's walk over to Bob Hanks store"
 George agreed, and they started out together That boyis a big puzzle to me,v Kenner continued thoughtfully. "Sometimss l think Hillyer did right in backin' i'm in his business, an then in think maybe his own daddy knows i'm bettern anybody else''
 Why, thought Bob was simply do Ing wonderfully well," said George in surprise.
 "Ef he'd. jest let his old habits go Led be all right" replied Kenner, 'but the boys say he's as bad about fiirtin with the gals as he ever was. You know thar's little orphan in Mrs. Styles boardin' school on the hill. The gals from Louisville, Ky; she hain't more'n sixteen of she's that, an she's a purty, daredevil little trick.

Brother Jones was noted for his long and laborious prayers, and although the good people of the church respect. ed him they were not at all pleased to hear him pray in meeting.

there like stick in the cushion of his chair and let MT. Buckley conduct the entire conversation with the bishop. Tn fact, Bishop Page simply directed most of his remarks to MT. Buckley, and it really was an intellectual treat. He tripped the bishop up twice, and the old man flushed, but laughingly ad- mitted he was wrong. He was most favorably impressed with MT. Buckley, and, of course, did not enter into awkward explanations. Yes, his man ners could not be improved He must have associated with refined people when he was off at college. I shall always say that the surest sign of a gentleman is for him to put his elbows on the dinner table without seeming to do it. I don't say MT. Buckley puts his on, but he doesn't sit up like q post and not know what to do with his hands, as some men do. He acts, even on occasions like that dinner, as if such things were an everyday affair. The maid, in passing around the table, awk- wardly touched his elbow just as he was about to drink from his glass of claret and shook some of the wine out OH lily pest ClOIu. NOW, OICG saw the same thing happen to man in Richmond, and he promptly laid the blame where 1t belonged, to acquit him. self of appearing awkward, but MT. Buckley treated it with superb indif- ference. He was telling some story, and he did not even pause, but, taking a salt cellar, he poured some of the salt on the spot, and as he continued to talk he kept rubbing it in as if he hardly knew what he was doing. The salt saved the cloth from bad stain, and 1t was all done as prince might have done 1t.
 You know the negroes can never for give the poor whites for rising into prominence, and Milly, when she was clearing away the things from the table that evening, called to me.
