LITTLE HELP.
There's help in seeming cheerful
When a body's feeling blue.
In looking calm and pleasant.
II there's nothing else to do.
If other folks are wearing,
Ana things are all awry,
Don't vex yourself with caring;
Twill be better by and by.
There's help In keeping tally
OF our host OF happy days;
There's never one that dawneth.
But il bringeth cause TO praise
The love that ever watcheth,
The Friend that's ever near.
So, though one tryst with sorrow.
One needs must dwell with cheer.
When troubles march to meet you,
Salute them at the door.
Extend both hands to greet them;
Their worst will soon be DER.
Beat down their stormy bugles
With your rejoicing drums,
And, mailed in lofty courage,
Accept whatever comes

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new;
SO in spite OF old sorrow and older SHINING,

Live and let live" is a good maxim, but

Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee.

The following selection may furnish q
good motto for many of the busy house,
wives. Especially in the summer season
when labor OF any kind is more weari-
some than in the cooler portion Of the
year, if we can ''keep cool" by not
attempting to do everything all at once,
we shall find it a benefit in every way;
much more will be accomplished with less
fatigue, and the hurried feeling which
brings a heated glow to the face and an
added weight to the mind will (perhaps)
be unknown to us through the busy days
| of July aud August.
THE SECRET OF IT.

| In enviable health of mind and body full Of
energy and interest in everything about her,
the vivacious old lady was receiving the hon.

| daughters.
| In the course Of the evening. while games

I She had conducted her own household quite

CONGRESSIONAL
PARTY'S VISIT
Plan Drafted for Different ISL
ands---L0caIities Must Put
Up Money.

There was a meeting of the Capitol
committee on the Congressional party
visit at the Executive chamber yes
terday morning. BY vote it was sta
ted that the committee would have
only money enough to pay hotel bills
and transportation expenses Of the
party. hence the localities visited must
defray the expenses of entertaining
the visitors while there respectively.
Delegate Kuhio was empowered by
vote to appoint all local committees on
entertainment He viii probably con-
firm those locally selected.
Secretary Atkinson stated that he
had already remitted $1,000 for main
land transportation and $500 more
would be needed, and the remaining
$500 would not be enough TO cover
entertainment expenses. This fact
was the occasion for the motion to put
local expenses up to localities. 1t was
also mentioned by the Secretary that
the transport on which the party wonld
return would not reach Honolulu be-
fore May 80 or June 1, therefore the
length of the party's stay would be
greater than at first calculated.
According to the rough scheme ar
ranged by the committee the party
will be in Honolulu from arrival on
May 8. until departure for Kauai the
evening of the 10th.
Arriving at Hanalei the morning OIL
Saturday, 11th. the party viii oreak-
fast at Wilcox's. Thence cruise VIII
be taken in the Kinau, past Napah
cliffs. to Eleele: train through NC
Bryde plantation and carriages TO LII
hue. where a dinner and reception VIII
occupy the evening. the Kinau return
ing with the party that night TO Homo
lulu.
Sunday and Monday will be spent at
Honolulu. the party leaving Monday
evening in the Claudine for Maui.
The party will divide at keanae.
