Yes, it is personality that counts,
individuality. And it were a sad mis-
take ii in the improving of the very
interesting little city of Honolulu any
set pattern were followed, attempt
made to construct an imitation some
thing. Mr.. Charles Milford Robinson,
familiar with the cities of many lands
and student of civic aesthetics, pre-

appeal to one as singularly suitable
and beautiful. Mr.. Robinson addresses
the People of Honolulu with a wis

He would be a ruthless iccnoclast
who would try to pattern one city aft

dividuality of Honolulu, or its charm

sunny quay, widen your streets and
stralghten them, spend enough money
in such measures hopelessly to bank

all done the winsomeness of Homo
lulu will have departed, and it will
always be spoken of as the town that
was spoiled. So my first charge is, be
true 10 yourselves. Do not dream of
what other cities may have done; but,
far isolated from them, develop your

Redeem Your Past Failures.

You may say that you have failed
too often, that there is no use in try
ing, that it is impossible for you to
succeed, and that you have fallen too
often even TO attempt to get on your
feet again. Nonsense! There is no
failure for a man whose spirit is I'M
conquered. No matter how late the
hour, or how many and repeated his
failures, success is still possible. The
evolution of Scrooge, the miser, in the
closing years of his life, from hard,
narrow, heartless money-grubber,
whose soul was imprisoned in his shin

Here no one shall worry if the road

the wonderful sea to look on or back
upon, deep yelled valleys that draw

implanted, so much a growth, SO full
of charm.
Looking forward to increasing tour

the benefit OF the citizens themselves,
a city beautiful appeals to all inter-
ests. The plans suggested by Mr.. Rob-

plans deal with the business section;

The Quiet Life.

the quiet and domestic type of life.

the typical American evening, and l

A SONG OF GLAONEss.

Come, Children of the Heavenly King,
with grateful hearts, rejoice and sing.
Let Us with one accord draw near;
A song of gladness all should hear.
Gods wondrous love through bygone
years
Hath triumphed over doubts and fears.
Discordant notes have taken wing;
song of giadness we should sing.
Gods guiding hand hath led the way,
And turned our darkness into day.
The foes of truth shall not destroy;
This song of gladness tells our joy.
Gods loving Spirit hath been given
That chains of sin might all be riven.
We thank Thee, Lord, with heart and
voice;
With songs of gladness we rejoice.
AS in the years now passed away,
So lead Thy flock, we humbly pray
Till safe at last on farther shore,
We sing with gladness evermore.

SEEDING PASTURES.
How One Man Handled His Land
After Prairie Grasses Had
Been Fed Out.

My experience is not very extern
sive, but I will say that 1 seeded a
prairie pasture after the prairie
grasses had been fed out, with one
part timothy, one part red top and
one part blue grass. I found that the
timothy and blue grass took good on
the high ground and the red top took
best on the low ground. I found, too,
that after about three years the blue
grass had crowded everything else
out, even the weeds to a cerain ex-
tent. It takes blue grass about two
years to get a good start. But the
red top did fine on low ground the
first year. If 1 were going to seed
pasture for cattle, horses and sheep
especially if the land had been under
cultivation, should SOW two parts red
clover, one part timothy and one part
blue grass, and on low lands I would
put one part timothy and one part red
top, for the reason red top does best
on low ground. I find in my pastures
on the high, dry knobs that in June
and July, when the weather is dry
and the sun is hot, these knobs dry
out and give little or no feed, hence
my reason for sowing red top on the
for stock during the dryest part OF
the season, and, too, there is always
heavy growth around the sloughs or
low places that make fine grazing dur
ing the winter months when it is not
covered with snow. Now, continues
the correspondent of Farmers Re-
view, my reason for sowing timothy
and clover is that the clover helps to
shade the timothy and blue grass after
the harvest has been taken of, and it
also helps to- fill out the stand until
the timothy and blue grass get good
start.
