BALDUR SEEKS HELP

She had one favorite maid called Falla,
whom she loved dearly She also was a
goddess and had control of all the trees,
Srass, rain and harvest. Half the he
foes in battle belonged to her. She
hust have been very sweet and lovely.
She is represented in pictures as driving
cart drawn by two cats.
Fagga, you can see, was very i'm
bortant goddess when even her servants
were goddesses, and she was married to
Odin, a god, who was the most powerful
of all the gods. He regulated the days
and nights and the seasons by placing
the sun, moon and stars and giving
them their proper places in the heavens.
So Baldur was wise to go to Fagga first
for help.
Well as 1 said before, she loved him
dearly and was glad to help him in any
way she could. So she made fire, water,

ing things promise they would never do
any harm to Baldur.
+. You would not think any possible
harm could befaH him after this, and
all the gods and goddesses thought so,
too. So when .Baldur asked them for
help they laughed at him, and said he
must not worry now, that he could
sleep in peace, that Fagga had done SO
much for him he was safe from all
peril. They told him that he would en-
joy life forever and that he might join
them in their sports.
Baldur, that the gods would let him
share in their games. He was very
happy now, and worried no longer over
his dreams. Life seemed SO full of
pleasure that he became like boy
again, and every morning he would join
the gods in the most beautiful green
pasture, where the grass grew thick
like velvet, and little brook ran
through murmuring happy songs, and
this lovely spot was surrounded by
trees

A Match Trick

DEND wooden match in the middle.
- which will, of course, almost break
it, the two parts being only held to-
gether by few fibres. Now place it at
an acute angle across the mouth Of an
empty bottle, with a penny on top. Ask
some one how he would cause the penny
to fall into the bottle without either
touching or breathing on the match or
the penny. He will hardly be able to
discover any means without assistance,
yet, though hard to discover, it is by
no means difficult to do.
Il Dip your finger in a glass of water,
match, allow few drops to fall upon
the broken part. Swollen by the moist
ure, the fbres of the wood will tend to
straighten themselves, and little by lit
growing larger and larger, until, no
longer supporting the penny, the latter
will fall into the bottle.

A Brave Drummer Boy Of a Century Ago

side Quick as a thought the drummer
seized his gun and cartridges and began
to fire, although the gun was so heavy
that he had to lean it upon branches Of
trees or stones to fire it.
A general passing among the troops
saw the little drummer fighting like a
veteran.
Who is this little soldier?, he asked.
They told him, and related what he
had done
Then the general galloped on.
That evening the drummer was sum-
moned before the general. The general
extended his hand.

drummer, sand you merit "a reward.

He lived 900 years ago in a country
called Scandinavia. That was a great

who lived even that long ago loved sun
shine and goodness, and so it is no Won
der that Baldur was petted and made

evenings the children would gather
about him and he would tell them Won
derful bright and happy stories. sBaldur
would bring so much sunshine with him
and the stories were so interesting that
the children would forget they. lived in
such dark, cold country, and he would
forget that the sun ought to set and
that his little listeners ought to be in
bed.
For six months Of the year the sun
never shines in Scandinavia, and it is
very cold and dark, and during these
months Baldur would never leave his

Medical Treatment

! The Board of Supervisors met at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon In confer
ence with committee Of the Board
of Health made up of DR.. c. b. Cooper,
Attorney General Andrews and DR.. w.
II. Mays. the idea being to discuss the
subject of government physicians and
other matters along the same line.
After discussion lasting about half
hour committee consisting of Messrs.
, Harvey Gilman and Lucas was ap-
pointed to meet with the committee of
the Board of Health for the purpose
OF discussing the situation and report
Ing to the Board at meeting to be
held In the forenoon of Monday next
The Committee has made arrange
inents TO meet the committee of the
Board of Health on Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Cooper explained that the Board
CT Health was in somewhat of a guam
dairy respecting the government ply
'siclans on this island and wished to
have something to say to the Super
rlsors. The Governor had asked the
Board of Health to cut down its appro-
priations fifty per cent on account OF
the present stringency. To come any
where near following out the wish of
the Governor II was necessary to cut
out all the government physicians on
the Islands. This could hardly be done
with safety to the community and to
the poor people who would be affected
by the action. II was very necessary
that the men now in the employ of the
Territorial Government should be kept
ir Office. The Territory could not do
l. and the Board OF Health wished to
suggest to the county that It take over
the work.
DR.. Cooper then named the doctors
IN different parts of the island under
the jurisdiction OF the Board of Health
They are as follows: DR.. Davis of
Eva; DR.. Mcmillan OF waianae: Or.
Wood of Walalua and DR.. Peterson of
Kahuku.
Mr.. Lucas wanted to know what the
duties of the doctors In the country
were and was told by DR.. Cooper that
their duties were very numerous.
The next question brought up was
that OF the physician or physicians at
the government dispensary. DR.. How
ard was formerly I'm charge. lie was
paid Il salary of $500 month. Then
came the change and two doctors were
secured, one to take the Office and one
the outside work. These men We're

Gently there was another change.

all this was foxy move on the part

, Attorney Rawlins suggested that the
county might maintain the hospitals
necessary and make outside counties
pay for any patients sent to Honolulu
from within their confines.
Mr.. Andrews answered that this
would be a very good way of carrying
on the work. Appropriation could be
made by the Board of Supervisors for

Mr. Lucas-Damn IL. why cant tho
Territory take care of these things?
Mr.. Andrews-Where Is the damn
