THE TABLE FURNISHINGS.

The table aforementioned was
spread with a fine white damask cloth,
with vases of flowers arranged down
the center At each corner was a
plethoric pineapple, with watermelons
cut in ornamental forms, dishes of cher
ries and other fruits.
From time to time, men, women and
children entered the shrine which was
enclosed by strong railing. They
passed the beautiful table, approached
the altar, bent reverently and kissed
the silver crown. dropping their offer
ings of money into the receptacle, then
turned, lifted corner of the silken
banner to their lips and passed out
again.
Young and old availed themselves of
the privilege, a girl of twelve or there

ORIGIN OF THE FEAST.

The Feast of the Holy Ghost was
originated by ST. Elizabeth, one of the
Queens of Portugal, in gratitude for the
staying of a terrible epidemic which
swept over her kingdom.
Since that time it has been the Gus
tom in Portugal to give dinner on
Whitsunday to twelve poor men COM
memorating the twelve gifts of the
Holy Ghost.
The celebration of the festival under
the auspices of the Brotherhood here,
yesterday, was one of the most elabor-
ate ever given in Honolulu. The So
ciety has now 80 members, who pay
fee of $3.50 year which serves as
fund with which to meet the expenses.
OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS.
The articles to be disposed of by lot
were the contributions of friends and
woman relatives. of the members of
the society, and, as has been said, in
cluded clothing, embroidery, crochet
work and other articles for which
chances were sold at five cents each.
On Saturday evening band concert
opened the exercises.
At o'clock yesterday morning there
was a distribution of clothing and food
to the poor, both men and women. At
10 'clock pontifeal mass was celebrat-
ed by Father stephen. This was pre-
ceded by a procession through the
grounds by the Brotherhood with the

NOTABLE FEAST
IN WH|TSUNDAy
A Great Gathering Assembled
in the Cathedral Grounds
Yesterday.

A great crowd collected in the eathe-
dral grounds on Saturday evening, re-
assembling In force on Sunday at an
early hour. 1t was of that cosmopolitan
character with which the Honolulu peo-
pie are all familiar, but which is al
ways new and interesting to strangers.
There were scores of Hawaiians, the
women in cool, flowing holokus of many
colors, the men in smart suits of white
drill, all literally adorned with leis,
the fragrance of which filed the whole
place. The Portuguese Catholics seem
ed to have turned out en- masse. men,
women and children. They also We're in
their best holiday garb. With these
were many japanese and Chinese NOV
ing about silently and missing nothing.
The men from the naval vessels, in
their white uniforms, and many in
terested Americans came and went.
Large Portuguese and American flags
hoated over the Fort street entrance,
while the grounds within were brill
liantly Illuminated with myriads of
electric lights in many colored glass
globes.
One of the two centers of interest
was the space devoted to the articles
to be raffled off-mostly pleasing to the
feminine taste-gowns, aprons, cushions
and the Like. The other was the shrine.
The latter was temporary altar
at the rear of large enclosed lanai

WHEN FATHER HAS THE GRIP

A Poor mother wears worried look, And sister wears frown: And if 1 venture up the stairs
 They send me straightway down. I'm going to the drug store now,
 Upon hurried trip, To get some other kind of dope,
 For father has the grip I heard his grooming in the night, He said his head would split; And then he thought his back would
 break;
 In just little bit, He told us that his legs were sore, And soon it was his hip; It seems that eSerything is sick
 When father has the grip. The doctor came today and left
 Some capsules, and he said, To take one each three hours until The pain has really fled. Says pa, That means twelve hours
 before
 give this pain the slip; I'll bet he'd find faster dope
 If he had the grip" And then he told ma that he thought That he was going to die: An ma says no, that isn't so, An gave the reason why.
 Then pa got mad and told her that He didn't want her lip: Oh there's no comfort in our flat When father has the grip. Detroit Free Press

BEWARE.

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or in articulating super icial sentimentalities and philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversation possess clarified conciseness, competed comprehens l. bilities, coalescent constituency and concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations, fatulent garrulity, jejune bablement and asinine atfec- tations. Let your extemporaneous descantations and unpremediated expatiations have intelligibility without rhodomontade of thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all poly syllabical profundity, pompous pro- lixity and ventriloquial verbosity. Shun double entendre and prurient jocosity, whether obscure or apparent. In other words, speak truthfully, clearly, purely, naturally. Don't use big words.
 JAMES J. DOYLE.
 Then Everbyody Skated. The masque carnival at the Elite skating rink last Friday night was a success in every respect and demonstrates what a hold that popular place of amusement has on the people of Ketchikan. Every body in town was there, either on the floor in costume or packed along the sides and in the new gallery as spectators. The cos- tumes-or rather some of them-were very tasty, and presented an animat- ed scene as their wearers went flying around the hall keeping time to the excellent music furnished by the Ketchikan Cornet Band. The grand march under the leadership of Dr. and Mrs. Zuber was the treat of the evening, of itself we'll worth the effort of going to the hall. At the con- clusion of the figures, masks were re- moved, the floor was thrown open to all and then everybody skated.

NEW TRAIL BEING MADE TO
SAN GABRIEL HEADWATER
Special 10 The Herald.

Special 10 The Herald.
PASADENA, Dec. 7.-Under the direc-
tion of the forest rangers a new trail is
being constructed from Deer Park, at the
head of Monrovia canyon, to Camp Rim
con, in the San Gabriel canyon, which,
when completed, will be one Of the best
routes to be taken leading to the head
waters of the San Gabriel. the favorite
ground of hunters.
Beginning at Deer Park the trail climbs
by easy grades to the summit of the
frontier range, and continues across the
ridges until the ascent is made in the
San Gabriel canyon.
The primary construction of the trail Is
to facilitate the work Of the government
rangers and to enable rapid concen-
tration of forces in case of emergency.
For pack trains it will shorten the dis
tance to the upper sources OF the San
Gabriel more than twenty miles, and will
be available in the winter and spring,
whereas the old trail is susceptible to the
spring floods, which make it practically
useless during that season.
The trail is designed to protect the
watersheds of the upper range from
fires, and it opens to mountain lovers a
range of country heretofore inaccessible.
The forest rangers expect TO have the
trail completed and open early in Janu-
ary.

SANTA MONICA, Dec 7.-Children of
Santa Monica, Ocean Park and Venice
who have little prospects of otherwise
receiving a Christmas gift are to be the
guests of the local lodge of Elks at a
Santa Claus reception to be held at Co
lumbia hall on Christmas morning. Those
present at the festivities will include the
sons and daughters of the Elks, who
will make erry with the deserving boys
and girls who are to receive the toys and
goodies. The members of the lodge, with
their wives, will act as committee of
the whole In making the affair a success.
The arrangements committee consists of
J. G. Hemingway, Lewis Herzog and ].
Morton.
The question of whether to build a new
club house or improve the present struc-
ture is being considered by the Elks,
who find the building at Ocean and Ari-
zona avenues too small for the rapidly
growing membership. A committee COM
posed of Claude Rogers, Ralph Bane and
j. B. Proctor has been appointed to de-
eide upon the matter.
