THE DREAM Err.
At Last She Found that Her Dream
Came to Her.

AT Last She Found that Her Dream
Came to Her.
Hester Caplin never could remem-
Der when her dream first came to her.
1t must have begun when she was a
child, for the house-her dream house
was clear and distinct among her
earliest memories.
It was an old gray gabled place with
a snow-drop bush beside the door
steps and cottage roses over the back
porch, and a row of blackheart cherry
trees behind. Year by year she had
seen the cherries white with bloom,
and watched the tiny pink blossoms
of the snowdrop change to ivory ber-
ries, and caught the morning fra
GRANGE of the roses; year by year she
had seen happy faces at the windows
and children running in and out.
The faces changed, for people came
and went in the house, but always
there were happy eyes and always
there was the gay laughter Of children
down the wind.
All through her lonely childhood
Hester had lived in the house. She
never had played much with other
children-her mother did not approve
of it. AS she grew older her mothers
exacting invalidism claimed all her
time, and after her mother died there
was still crippled father whose tenn
per was worse twisted than his hands
Through all the prisoned years she
worked with cheerful patience, sure
that some time her hour would come.
But it was SO long in coming! She
could not invite neighbors in for it
annoyed her father; she could not
leave him to go to other places, she
could not even take a Sunday school
class-she who loved girls so! She
could only waylay the doctor some
times and send little soup or jelly to
his patients, or give a few flowers to
somebody or write a note now and
then. She never guessed-how could
she?-that her dream had already
come true" in her own heart.
One day complete Encouragement
fell upon her. The years stretched out
before her gray and empty, and the
house had vanished; it had all been
a mirage and she a foolish dreamer.
Why had God let her dream so if she
was always to be denied?
Then there was a step upon the
stair, and Hester started. 1t was
neighbours daughter, one of her few
visitors; the girl drew long breath
as she looked about the small, plain
room.
Il had to come, Miss Hester" she
said. 81 can't tell~you why--I don't
know all the why myself, only that
when I get bothered and tangled up
always want to run here. Your room
looks like anybody's, yet when am in
it | always feel as if / We're in some
large, beautiful place, where people
learned the way of peace. Why, Miss
Hester!'
For into Testers face had come
the light of a great joy-Youth's Com
panion.

Facts About Erie Canal.

Some taxpayers still associate the
Erie canal with mule. These erring
citizens forget the steam consort, says
Leslie's Weekly. It was by steam
consort standard, upon which the
people of New York State two years
ago based their vote sanctioning the
expenditure Of $101 100000 for an i'm
proved Erie canal, a practically new
canal, known officially as the Erie 100
Ton Barge canal
What does $101, 100000 mean? 1t
means that the new Erie canal is to
be the most costly artificial waterway
in the world. It means that the Eric
canal is to cost 100000 more than
the one at Suez. 1t means that the
Erie canal is to cost twenty-five times
as much as the Soo-the greatest ship
canal on earth in point Of tonnage 1t
means that the Erie canal is to cost
more than the Manchester ship canal.
which cost trifie Of $75,000,OO0. 1t
means that the new Erie 1,O0O-Ton
Barge canal is to cost even more than
the worlds most colossal engineering
feat-the Panama canal. It means
that $52,O00,000 spent in the past and
100000 spent in the last decade
must be added to the $101 900, 900, and
hence, that the new Erie canal, when
finished in 1913, will have cost old
and new, a matter Of $161 100000, or
some 81 100000 more than the esti-
mate Of the total cost of building I'm

Heroism is not a matter Of race.
The American consul general who has
investigated the murder of American
missionaries in Lienchow, China, has
decided to recommend that a Carne-

a Chinese, who, at the imminent risk
of his own life saved the life of one
of the women missionaries.

OF all the fears which beset little
children in this big, startling world

CONCORDIA BAND
WILL NOT PLAY
MEDEIROS SAYS
THAT $50 WOULD NOT PAY FOR
THE WASHING OF BOYS SUITS.

There is nothing doing" said Presi-

this morning, for the amount of
money appropriated by the Supervis-
ors would not pay for the washing of
our suits. There will be no concerts
by the band unless the County Faith
ers do better.
when 1 read in the morning paper
that $3.50 had been appropriated, I
thought that we could just play for
that and not go behind. But on $50
never.
And so Honolulu is not likel yto have
the band concerts in the evenings after
all. The Supervisors may put up more
money, but it is doubtful
1t was thought that the concerts
twice a week We're made possible by
the Board of Supervisors last evening
when upon the motion of Supervisor
Moore they voted to allow $50 a month
for the expenses of the band.
Last evening the matter was brought
to the attention Of the members of the
Board by a letter from the manager of
the band in which the band agreed to
give two concerts weekly if the Super
visors would pay the expenses of NOV
ing the instruments and the like. Up
on motion of Supervisor Moore the
Board agreed to pay the band $50 a
month.

FORESTER HOSMER
RETURNED TODAY
RALPH S. HOSMER RETURNED
THIS MORNING ON THE SIBERIA
FROM THE MAINLAND.

Ralph S. Hosmer, chief of forestry
for the Territory of Hawaii returned
this mornoing on the S. S. Siberia af-
ter an absence of three months. He
spent the time touring the east and
visited Washington while he was away
where he met many men who stand at
the head of the Department of Fores-
try for the United States and with
them he discussed matters peraining to
Hawaii
Some time ago it was reported that
Clifford Pinchot chief of the Forestry
Bureau of the United States, would
visit Hawaii in the near future. Mr..
Hosmer denies this as he says Mr.
Pinchot has too , ny other matters
occupying hls attention to visit this
place at present.
The trip which Mr.. Hosmer took was
simply of private nature and with the
exception of the few days spent in
Washington during which time he
discussed matters relative to forestry
in Hawaii, he did nothing in line with
his work.
