of some money. This was not a particu-
iarly uncommon condition for pastors at
that time, but little Winnie didn't know
that. For two or three weeks she saved
up her pennies, and finally one day. seeing
the good man on the street, she tipped up
behind him and thrust her store of pen
mics into his hand saying: Dear Doctor

HAWAII TRADE GROWING.

II II be true that the falling off in
the value of merchandise Hawaii
shipped from mainland ports during
the month of January last was due
to the financial panic of October, the
record for the month of Fcbruar''
shows that our business made a very
quick recovery.
According to the figures published
by the Statistical Bureau of the De.
partment of Commerce and Labor,
the total value of shipments of do
nestle merchandise from the main
land to Hawaii in the month of Feb
ruary was Sl,1l6,971. For the
month of February, 1907, the total
was S75S,567. This gain is greater
than is represented in the mere fig
ures, since the purchasing price of Il
dollar in mainland markets has in
creased in the last few months.
There was also a distinct gain for
the eight months ending with .Febru-
airy. Our shipments from the main
land during that period were valued
at $9,S29,S95 For the eight months
ending February, 1907, the total

value was sS,Si75G5. and FOR 1906,
.$7,S2i,142.
This means that Hawaii Is keeping
up the march forward and was con-
tinuing in the favored way at time
when all the mainland centers were
reporting a reduction of purchases
necessitated by the general curtail-
ment of business and hard times"
The cause for the good showing for
this Territory may be found In the
shipped to the mainland. Our pur-
chasing power increased. For the
month Of February, 1908, this Terri
tory shipped domestic merchandise to
the mainland valued at $3,4S2,S7,.
and for the same month of 1907 the
total was S2,074,SSS. In the eight
months preiod ending last February
our total shipments to the mainland
were valued at $21, OO1,5G5. For the
same period of 1907 1t was s1G,329,i
1876. The greater part of this total
is of course made up of sugar exports,
and while the size of the crop and
high price have some influence, the
principal factor is the speed with
which the crop has this year gone
forward to the markets.
The balance of trade Is not only
strongly in favor of the Islands but it
is increasingly so at Il time when ali
other sections of the country are
months period ending last February
showing more adverse conditions.
This record is highly gratifying;
and the result is reported to be show
ing locally in increased deposits in
the banks. This is the. test which
tells the story for or against pros-
perity, and, happily for this Terri
tory, the showing is on the right side
When the funds float into the Islands
so freely that the bank balances rise
to the point of liberal Gurpluses, the
people will feel the full force of the
good times" which appear to be in
evitablc.

ACHI ON MUNICIPALITY
Continued from Pace ~

W pay
1t was foregone conclusion that
some, day we should have a Municipal
Government in this Island, whether
to include Honolulu alone or the
whole Island; so ] believe that the
Legislature was right in their maxi
ing Municipal Government to in
clude the whole Island, because the
interests of all who are living in this
Island are similar.
For instance, it Is right for the
Supervisors to spend more money for
making the roads in Koolaupoko or
koolauloa than the money the Cour-
~ Is receiving from those districts,
because the owners of automobiles
who are living in Honolulu have tC
use the roads in those districts, for
their fun or pleasure; and II Is not
proper for the people in those dis
tricts to make those roads for other
people, and they would not be able
to do il.
The income of the County from tho
District of KOOlaupoko Is about So
600 a year; it costs the County for
police alone about 100000 a year,
which leaves about $1,000 year for
roads; in that case it would be i'm
possible for the people in Kooau-
poke to macadamizo' the roads there
for the benc't Of the owners of auto
mobiles in Honolulu. 1t costs now

The Honolulu Hen has temporarily

The Honolulu Hen has temporarily
lost its prestige. Statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
show that during the month OF
January Hawaii did not import Il
single egg. This led to the suppose,
tion that the Honolulu hen was sup
plying the home market, This, how
ever, was not to be for a long period
During February last Hawaii import
ed l,77O dozen eggs valued at s433
This is almost double the amount o;
eggs brought in February, 1907, --
800 dozen, valued at 1851. 1t may
be said with truth that the Hawaii
an hen is making steady gains.

Prof. Sylvian s.

Last night found subjects that were ready and willing to go upon the stage, largely for the purpose of learning something about the hypnotic art which Professor Lee han dies in a way entirely his own. He takes the audience into his confidence and re- veals to them many simple things that the average person throws a great deal of mystery around.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou,

The Bijou has a melodrama this week in Convict 999," which is one of the best plays of it's kind ever seen at that house. Convict 999' is thrilling and vivid without seeming overdone. Perhaps this is due to the fact that~there is plenty of good comedy scattered through the piece and a comedian in charge who un- derstands his business. As a rule, comedy in melodrama is poor stuff, but that cons plaint could not be made in regard to Convict 999." The play is moreover most elaborately and perfectly staged, with a large company and a company of zouaves who lend realism to the mass scenes, not ably in the escape from Sing Sing. For a thriller that is worth seeing, and is strictly up-to-date, Convict 999' can be recommended. There will be the usual performance tonight.

Alexander City, April 2S.-tSpecial)-The effect of The Age-Herald's good roads campaign has evidently reached Talla- poosa county, for 1t has been favorably commented upon on various occasions re- gently.
 While it is true that this county is working it's public roads under the con tract system, having begun in January last, it is also true that the limit of funds available for road purposes will not per init of a sufficient expenditure to place them in a proper condition. This being the unfortunate fact it is argued by many that the Overton amendment If en- acted, would materially supply the deh- ciency that otherwise it would be prac- tically impossible for the county to over come unaided
