full of kernels. Though the surround

with us. From thin soup and cold
potatoes, good Lord, deliver them.

that have been written this fourth

Volcanoes Crater to be a Public Park.

A most original thing is to be
done to the famous Diamond
Head crater by the local government.
The park commission desires the place
for use as a public park. To convert
the crater of volcano into a public
park is highly original, but old Dia-
mond Head possesses such peculiar
and unusual features that a beautiful
park could be made out of it.
Diamond Head is one of the most
picturesque sights in this island. 1t
stands about 1000 feet in height at
the highest point, but consists only Of
an outside rim, for inside is the crater
about mile and a half in circum-
ference. If the place IS turned over
to park commission road will prob
ably be built around the crater, run
ming on the crest. Inside the place
could be made into park. High on
the cliffs are some ancient burial
caves Of the Hawaiian chiefs and
these places would add interest to Dia-
mond Head as a park
The selection of Diamond Head for
a park possesses for the Honolulu resi-
dent nothing of the uncanniness that
such a place might inspire in the
minds Of others less familiar with
the crater. The volcano has been ex-
tinct for hundreds of years. 1t was
one of the earlier Of the Hawaiian
volcanoes to become extinct, and only
in dim tradition among the ancient
lore of the Hawaiians is there any
reference to the time that Diamond
Head hurled forth fire and lava.

Tomorrow would be Thanksgiving
and what had she to be thankful
for? Tomorrow there would be fam
lily gatherings at all the old home
steads-and she would sit alone at
her dinner table, waited on by old
Aunt Sally as she did every day in
the year.
II she and Curtis Chamberlain had
married perhaps-she blushed softly
at the thought-perhaps the old
house might have rung with happy
laughter on these holidays. She, too,
might have been looking eagerly for
the returning faces Of those she loved
If she and Curtis had not quarreled.
She looked across at the Chamber
lain house. How cherries 1t was
how homeless. And there was the
colonel coming out now gray-haired,
white-mustached, but erect and sol.
dierly as ever and with the courtly
grace Of a by-gone generation.
She watched the colonel down the
street and then little smile came
into her face. She ran down the
stairs almost like a girl to the little
spindle-legged secretary, where she
wrote hurried note. Then she sum.

Il want you to carry this note over
to Col. Chamberlain's right away.

1t was a pretty figure which the
colonel saw entering the drawing

c!al.)-That a sure cure has been
discovered for those sclatlc pains that
make SC many lives miserable, is the
firm opinion of Mr.. d. s. Colson, a
well known resident Of this place,
and he does not hesitate to say that
cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Colson is so firm in his
opinion is that he had those terrible
pains and IS cured. Speaking of the
matter he says:

good. had awful pains in my hip

All sclatlc and Rheumatic pains are

1t from the old nail-studded hair
trunk faint perfume of lavender
filled the garnet room. The silk was
still as fresh and bright as when she
had last worn it, and yet how many

She had liked the gown. Now she

She heard a rustic from between

Show US the way to see the good
That comes into our lives each day,
The blessings dimly understood
That give us cheer along the way.
Give us content with gold and gear
Though much or little we possess
Let us be glad for what is here
On this, our day of thankfulness.
But broaden, too, the soul and mind
So that our thanks will not be found
BY customs rule and rote confined
Within this one days narrow bound.
Let us be glad for early rain
That bids the flowers wake and creep,
Let us be glad for snowy plain
That holds them IN their winter sleep.
Give us the heart to understand
The graciousness of spreading trees {;
The changing seasons, wisely planned.
The storm and sunshine-all of these
For all the brightness OF the dawn,
And cheerfulness of noon and night;
And all that joy is builded on
Give us the grace to see Alright.
Let us remember each kind word
By weight of goodly feeling blest-.
Each gentle thing we've said or heard
And blot from memory the rest.
Give us the grace to see and know
The benefits along the way
The many things that help US so
Let US be thankful every day.
