GROUND HOG DAY.

Ground hog day is scheduled for

ity of the weather during the present

The old tradition is that If Mr..

Honolulu, T. II. - AS a para

of interest to the tourists; but
to the student of religious, social
and political questions it's greatest i'm

A Complete Product Of Missions.
AS a widely-heralded completed
product of missions Hawaii has long
been advertised by missionary work
ers. 1t has been said, times without
number, that this is one of the few
places on the globe where the mis-
sionaries finished their task; leaving
to support and direct themselves as a
Christian nation, the people whom,
little more than a generation before,
they had found naked savages. For in
1868 the American board formally
withdrew from the Hawaiian islands,
which it had entered in 1920.
Are the Missionaries Grafters?
There, broadly stated. is one side Of
the situation. On the other hand, it
has been charged, by innumerable per-
sons and publications, that while the
missionaries to Hawaii pointed the be-
nighted native to mansions in the
skies they at the same time quietly
took possession of the natives earthly
real estate. That the whole island

specially of capturing young eagles
alive) has written the following &C.
count of the days experience:
We started long before dawn, for we
had long and arduous climb to make,
over colossal rocks, dangerous glaciers
and yawning abysses, before we could
hope to reach the eyrie heights where
the eagles nest.
At last we reached a cliff where
Willy halted the party and babe us
hush, while he crept to the edge; and
leaning cautiously over, scanned the
shelf of rock at some distance below
An uplifted finger both warned and
beckoned us. With infinite care we
crept to the edge and looked down.
There was nest with a couple of
eagles just the age to have shed their
white baby down and begin to put on
soft feathers. Beside the nest, on the
sun-Warmed shelf of rock, stood the
mother eagle, performing her morning
toilet 1t was charming sight! But
we had work before us, and alas! had
one cruel thing to do:
While the rest of us held him, Willy
aimed carefully. Crack! went the gun,
and zip! flew the bullet straight to the
eagles heart. She leaped far out in
air, gave her wings a mighty flap, then
sank straight as a plumb line out OF
sight into the ravine below.
"Wait here for me-" commanded
Willy, and he descended as rapidly as
he could in the right direction as no
ticed by his practiced eye. After a
time he returned with broad smile
on his face.
"She's a bird, indeed" said he;
"seven feet, if she's an inch, from tip
of wing to tip of wing"
After this came the daring work
Having found a. suitable ledge over

This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
= .sEs r. S Haa Been Well Ever Since.

How manv wonderland men too
are suffering from q general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to checkl How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task OF
fighting off the infection Of these diseases
to which most of Us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms Indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Marley, OF
SO Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is q typical one. She says: ~
tFor six months after the birth Of my
baby, T suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like q rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched SO !
could hardly see and black spots doated
before them. The least, exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.
eff triedto work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. was so thin that I weighed
only IS pounds.
Zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead.
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me q
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
100 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and I have never
been seriously i'll SINCE"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
Your druggist sells them or they will

Such was the stock from which
came the 14-year-old boy, bearing the
euphonious name of Obookjah, who,
in 1909, was found weeping on the
doorsteps of Yale college y He had
fed from Hawaii, having seen his
parents slain before his eyes in a
civil war, and had made his way to
America in one of the New England
ships which then piled all waters. His
thirst for knowledge and religion at
tracted widespread attention. Samuel
}. Mills, young man who had come
to New Haven from Williams college,
was especially interested in this lat.
est man from Macedonia" and he
took Oboolliah to his own home, at
Torringford.
Mills was missionary enthusiast.
He was the prime mover in the little
band OF Williams students who had
devoted themselves to the cause of
foreign missions, and whose historic
prayer meeting in 1906, under a Will
Jamestown haystack. is regarded as
the beginning of the American foreign
mission enterprise which to-day en-
braces practically all Christian
churches in the land and has made
the American missionary a conspicu-
GUS figure on all the continents and
islands of the earth. Out of that hay.
stack meeting-the site is now marked
by a monument-grew the American
board, then representing both Congre-
grationalists and Presbyterians.
Obookiah's pleadings pointed to
Hawaii as the first stronghold of
heathenism to be attacked by the new
movement and the young zealots who
were it's real leaders. In 1919 a party
of % persons, seven of whom were
wives and five children, set sail for
