THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
All here 1t is. that dear old place.
Unchanged through all these years;
How like some sweet, familiar face
Ny childhood's home appears.
The grand old trees beside the door
Still spread their branches wide.
The river wanders as Of yore.
With sweetly murmuring tide.
The distant hills look green and gray,
The flowers are blooming wild.
And everything looks glad today
As when | was a child
Who would take away the faith
that a child has in this Santa Claus
myth. though he be. and who would
take from weak and frail humanity
that larger. sweeter trust in the
eternal goodness7

.SWANzY'S COLLIE
PROBABLY EATEN
DOG WAS PROBABLY EATEN BY
NATIVES OF THE BIG ISLAND
BONES ONLY FOUND.

HILO, December 27.-F. NJ. Swanzy
lost a valuable Collie dog just after his
arrival in Hilo last week, and from
the best evidence obtainable it appears
that the animal was eaten. The dog
strayed away from the Volcano House,
and as soon as its absence was noted
attempts were made to recover it. Not
only by advertising but by employing
assistance, Mr.. Swanzy made every
effort to find the animal. The result
was a peculiar discovery by one of the
men employed.
The dog was seen on the Volcano
road, being dragged at the end of a
rope by a native. A japanese who had
Teen hired to look for the animal
searched various places, and finally
raced the dog to a certain home along
the Volcano road. In that home he
found no dog, but he did find under the
house, some of the bones of a dog that
had apparently been the main feature
f a Iuau. There is no direct evidence,
but a strong presumption exists that
the remains in question are those OF
the lost Collie
Mr. swanzy's collie, besides being a
well bred dog of considerable value
was a family pet, and the loss of the
animal is greatly regretted by himself
and family. The fact that the dog APP
pears to have been captured and eat
en- makes the inciuant a very unusual
one. There is still slight hope tha'
the animal is alive and will be found
but it is regarded as almost certain
that the collie was used for a luau'-

TIDAL DISTURBANCE
IN THE SOUTH SEAS
A TIDAL WAVE OF PECULIAR
UNION ISLAND GROUP

The Samoanische Zcitung of late
date contains the following account
of tidal disturbances i'm the South Seas.
Mr.. Amtmann williams reports to
the government, under date of October
3Oth, as follows.
l have to report to you that a small
tidal wave occurred here last Sunday
2Sth October, at $3.50 p. m. 1t did not
come from the sea outside the reef, it
seems to have made a start a little
beyond Safai, ran up i'm the town and
damaged one boat and three canoes.
Then it ran along to Satoalepai where
it hurt a old woman by knocking her
down it also washed away two small
children which were afterwards found
none the worse. 1t ran round Faga-
malo at the rate of about 20 miles an
hour, but the width of the wave was
not more than so yards; it just came in
ON the ground at the government build
ings. In my opinion it must have
been caused by some channel from the
lava because it did not come i'm from
the sea. And, an occount of the
narrowness of the rush, when it pass
ed here it ran right along and OUT
to the harbor. Had it been about two
feet deeper in the rushes at Safai and
Satoalepai there would probably have
been lot of deaths, for it came so
sudden, As it is, I am glad to report
as above.
Your obedient servant,
Williams
Amtmann.
Further reports about this tidal wave
have been sent to the Samoa Observa-
torium from Faasaleleaga and Aana,
from which it is evident that the wave
was also felt in those places, with
gradually diminishing force. The re-
gistration of the tidal gauge in Null
nuu, however, is very indistinct. There
was no earthquake at the time in ques-
ton. Therefore the conclusion may be
drawn that the phenomenon was pure
ly local and slight, and had no direct
connection with the volcano. Prob
ably some new land formed by the
lava at Iealatele has slipped into the
sea, which of course can be ascertain
ed. There is no occasion for fears
on account of a small tidal wave of
this kind, even should it recur a few
times more.

much further than usual, leaving the
reef about two feet ont of the water.
The tide remained out for IA days. At
the northern portion of the group the
rise was hardly perceptible; in the
southern parts at times it rose to about
the level of the reef. Large quanti-
ties of fish were left nigh and dry on
the reef and persisted there. The ma
tives got a fine haul Of fish off the
reef. On October 18th, the tides again
became normal.

WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos,
the most picturesque people in the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts of opinions have been
expressed concerning them One tale
told of them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians,
and that the dislike for the practical
which is always noticeable among
them has come down through the gen.
erations.
Those that. have taught among the
Bogobos say that given a song Oh
poem to learn and they will study
and dream over it for hours, but give
the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes Ill ant
wants to go home.
Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davat
district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago
university woman, who is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
1t has been found that the bead
work done by them is quite like tina
of the American Indian, but there i
no other likeness in the races be
| yond that.

MONEY IS NOW FLOWING
BACK INTO THE BANKS
Runs on Treasure Vaults Have Practj'
cally Ceased and Only Troublesome
Feature is Tendency Toward
Blockade of Domestic
Exchange.

New YOrk.-Runs on the banks and
trust companies are practically over;
money, which was temporarily with.
drawn from banks subject to runs, il
flowing to the stronger banks and cur
rency is being provided in most cases
where the demand for it is considered
legitimate. Further engagements OF
gold by Boston and other points have
brought up the total engagements
abroad under the recent movement to
$26, 100000.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to a normal cOndi'
ton, but there is still something Of
blockade of domestic exchange
through the unwillingness Of New
York banks to pay currency on drafts
from other cities and the unwilling
ness of other cities to pay out their
currency upon drafts from New York
The condition of affairs indicates
continued pressure for. currency rather
than a breakdown of credits, but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers of the banks. The
possibility of fastening the export
movement of wheat and cotton still
engages the attention Of foreign ex-
| change dealers, and also of those VINO
endeavor to keep in touch with the
general situation.
Doubt is expressed whether the sec
rotary of the treasury will be able &c
carry out on any considerable scale
the project of the New Orleans export
ers for accepting cash at government
fiscal agencies abroad and transfer
ring it by telegraph to points in this
country, but Secretary Cortelyou i
said to be willing to make such depos
it's of public money at cotton export
ing points as will to considerable eS
tent relieve the strain.
