SUNDAY FIRES.

Lack OF water In the Nuuanu reser.
voirs was the direct cause OF the COM
plete destruction by fire Of q Chinese
store at the corner OF Wyllie and Ii
liha streets Sunday morning.
While lin Fook and family were at
tending service In st. Peters chapel
the house In which they live and keep
q store took fire and was burned to
the ground. Neighbors saw the
smoke but as there is no fire alarm
box in that vicinity many valuable
minutes were lost while boy ran to
the military hospital to telephone to
central headquarters. The fire de.
partment promptly answered the call,
but when the hose wagon arrived up
on the scene It proved to be useless
as the fire plug Just across the street
was dry as chip. The engine, how
ever, which arrived little later, was
able to pump In little.

UNSbASONABLY DRY
BUT RAIN IN SIGHT

Section Director A. Nice. Ashley
summarizes last weeks weather and
crop report for. the islands as follows:
During the past week, the days have
been warm and sunny, but the nights
cool In most sections. Throughout the
entire group. the unseasonably dry
weather noted In last weeks report has
continued. but the present week closes
with some slight indications Of rain.
The drought is becoming serious.
Streams. even in the windward dis
tricts, are very low, and pumping
plants are all In operation. Pastures
generally are very dry and poor, and
grazing stock is suffering. Young cane
needs rain, but Is growing fairly well
in most sections under the influence Of
the higher temperatures, and the dry
weather has been quite favorable for
general field operations on the planta-
tions. The harvesting and grinding
of matured cane continues, but there
Is a general complaint Of shortage of
water for numing. The warm days
have been beneficial for the ripening
OF piueapples, but the cool nights have
checked the development Of fruit buds.
Coffee needs rain to bring out the bios
SONS, especially in the Kona district
OF Hawaii. Sisal is growing fairly
well In Maui, but is making little OF
no advance In Oahu. The replantng
OF rice Is about finished, and the young
rice Is growing well.
A serious forest fire Is in progress
in the Kaapuna and Kipahoehoe land
sections Of South Kona. Hawaii. XII

constant eruption since the night OF

It occupies a position of just as
much prominence in the Sum-
mer Resorts field, as it traverses a
portion of a country that occupies
the same standing in this partic-
ular in the South that the high
lands along the Hudson River and
the Adirondacks do in the north.
The booklet gives a description
of these summer resorts and for
what they are especially noted.
Detailed information is given
concerning hotels.

Monteagle, the most famous of
all Southern summer resorts, is

make a trip will find themselves
well repaid by writing for one of
the booklets.

the proceeding and the manner
of it when such problems were
presented for examination. He
was a man of few words, and
it seemed the fewer words he
could speak to a pupil the better
it pleased him. So when these
problems were brought for him
to see if the answer was correct,
he would ask, pager" and when
you had given that, he would say
Number" and when that was
given his next question was,
Answer" If the answer was
correct, he would so state, and
probably look over it to some
extent, but never commended
the work; but if wrong, it was,
TRY again." Still he was a man
with a kind heart and an earnest
purpose for the good of his pupils.

AS the people moved in and
settled up the country, and the
forests were felled, the corn and
wheat and cotton planted, the
stores opened and the blacksmith
shop established, the doctors and
lawyers settled in their practice,
there also came along with them
the liquor traffic. In all the
towns Of any size there was from
one to three groceries" as they
were then called, where liquor
was sold by the drink, and in
addition to this, at every place
where anything else was sold,
the beverage could be bought by

roads nothing was sold but liquor.
The whisky could be bought for
forty cents a gallon, and | suppose

PEN PICTURES OF THE OlDEN time
BY COL. W. L. CLAYTON.

1desire to say to you, Mr. Editor
and through you to your many
readers, that unless | thought
these pen Pictures" were read
by many with interest, | surely
would not go ID the trouble and
labo.. to prepare them; Writing
is not now as easily done with me
as it could have been done forty
years ago in the vigor of my young
manhood, when my brow was
free from crows feet, and my hair
untouched by the silver thread; as
now every word penned is written
with both hands holding the
pen that traces the lines. wish
also to say these pictures are not
painted for all whose eyes may
rest upon them. Some men are
so busy with buying and selling,
adding and counting interest, and
thinking of profit and loss, and
some SO absorbed in their farms
and their crops, that even on
dull days and rainy seasons, they
have not time to read anything
like the items / write. There is
no money in it to them, and by
money they measure everything.
| write for two classes Of readers,
those who have leisure to devote
to reading, and like to do so; and
those busy ones who, notwith-
standing the emergency of labor
and business employments, will
take time to read some any way.
A little incident occurred while |
was attending school at old Rich
mond in 1856 which convinced me
that people will enjoy word pic
turing if done in a natural way
and in plain English, free from
Latin, French, or other foreign
language, which they do not un-
derstand. We had a public exam
ination and Composition reading
at the close of the spring session
and / wrote a composition on an
imaginary country, called Bun
conn.," describing its hills and
valleys, mountains and rocks,
brooks and rills, its fields of wav-
ing grain, the flowers of it's
spring and the beauty of it's
scenery in the hazy months Of
October and November all tinted
with purple and gold and carna-
ton with the farm houses dotting
the hill sides and climbing up the
foot hills of the mountains, and
the smoke rising from the dwell
ings, the lowing cattle browsing
on the meadows, and the fowls
cackling round the barnyard. /
read it to brother James,, who was
attending the same school.
We'll" said he, III people that

dwellings. their dress and man
