to travel except in certain ways.
Mr.. Macfarlane did not known if any
different conditions existed today
from what did when the Chamber
passed its resolution of reconsidera-
ton. When the Chamber first took
action the Alameda was the only To-
cal boat. Matson had put on two
since and was about to build a third
one of modern type. 1t seemed the
Chamber was jumping all around the
compass. How would Congress look
at it? Now they said they made a
mistake because they heard from
Washington that Governor Frear and
Delegate Kalanianaole were surprised.
With the additional room furnished
by the Japanese Tenyo Maru and her
coming sister ship the congestion

aged they must force the issue.

A ship load of farming imple-
ments were shipped from Brook
Ign to Russia for distribution as
samples along the sales-depots of
the various concerns who seek
the trade of that far away coun-
try. These implements will be
sold in Russia, after the freight
has been paid over the many
thousand of miles, for one third
less than they are sold to the
farmer who lives in reach of the
factory and goes in and bitches
his team to one of them in the
town they are manufactured and
hauls it home. Still this north
ern farmer is gulled by the willy
manufacturer and politician into
believing that protection is right
and puts money into his pocket
along with that Of the manufac-
turer. AS long as such people
vote the republican party will re-
main in power and the protect
ed interests of the country grow
more richer and more arrogant.

HOW TO MAKE MERRY WIDOW
HATS.

Take one cart wheel. Super
impose on the hub one wire waste
paper basket. Stitch on cover of
white fishing net over green mos
quito bar from your last seasons
camping outfit. Around this
crown, bank a few sunfowers
and daisies, grown roses, cerise
and crimson chrysanthemums, a
bunch of tall grass, a spray Of
lavender lilacs, Alice blue hya-
cinths, a stock of hollyhocks,
purple and varigated petunias,
pink verbenas, and candy turf
i%ntersected with the blue and
brown forget-me-nots. Next
take ffty-three yards of laven-
der colored ribbon edged with
cerise, and construct a number
of loops for either side of the
front of the hat extending from
the center of the crown to either
out edge of the brim, using as
braces or stiffening long strips of
bamboo. In the center of the
dainty bow place the garden gate
the latest fad in a Merry Widow
hat buckle, Should the ribbon
not be forthcoming, two canoe
paddles, secured by the above
mentioned buckle and appropri-
ately tinted will serve satisfac-
torily. A wooden golf stick, a
garden rake and a flag pole will
give a jaunty effect as hat pins.
These are only a few hints in re-
gard to material for the home
manufacture of the popular Mer-
ry Widow hat. Any change may
be made or fixtures added to suit
the maker, for anything in the
style is maintained. Liberty

CurlOus Florida Herb.

Punta Gordo Herald.
 Almost everybody knows there are such things as insectivorous or carpivorous plants. but if is doubtful if many know we have any such plants growing right here in South Florida. there is a plant, or rather herb. growing here. which Is really insectiv- orous
 It is likely that on account of its being extremely small 1t has escaped attention In fact it seems to have been overlooked by the botanists also. we are unable to find it chased among the sensitive pIants.
 This is an annual herb. and the entire plant. including the flowers. is of a deep rich red color. It rarely reaches a height of more than three inches and Is never so broad. The leaves are spatulate when un- disturbed and present many small fibrillae and secrote at their tips a tenacious fluid which is capable of holding the very small insects such as ants and the like. upon which 1t feeds When any of these get lodged in the fluid and disturb these fi- brillae the leaves slowly acquire a cup shape and sometimes curl completely up over their victim. When they have absorbed the in- sect they slowly recover their orginial shape leaving only the skeleton of the insect re- maining.
 These plants grow on the very low. flat. poor and sandy lands, They appear in the fate winter and early spring months.

Each year more money Is devoted to 1t, other companies are taking 1t up, and we may hope in time to see most of those branches of well fare work that have proved successful where tried taken up and permanently carried on by the majority of the rail- road companies of the country.
 That the efforts and expense on the part of the railroads In these various ways in behalf of their employees have been labundantly justified from both the business and humanitarian stand points, the high officials of the road are firmly convinced.

It was impossible for any body to escape the knowledge of the fact that the evanRellsts were doing something.
 So Gypsy Smith. Billy Sunday. Torrey and Alexander. and other noted evan gelists learned a lesson In Wales. It Is characteristic of them that they be- lieve that the United States will soon experience anothor religious awaken ing, such as those of 17a5, 1900 and 1858.

But his father was converted. and took the boy to hear Moody and Sankey. Soon young Rodney went to London and fell into the hands of William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. Booth saw his earnestness and put him to work at preaching when he was seventeen years old He has been at it ever since thirty-two years. This is his sixth visit to the United States.
 The Rev. William A. Sunday twenty years ago was member of the famous White Stockings" baseball club of Chicago. One day he was sitting on the curb on Van Buren Street with a group of baseball companions. From the windows of a mission opposite fioated the words of an old-fashioned hymn. Sunday rose and walked over to the church, and from that moment he has been an evangelist He dis cusses problems of the soul and religion in the slang of the day. forsaking the conventional King James English which Is used by nearly all regular" preachers.

Flat Rock. and a half dozen other places In both states. These were but precursors of the Great Revival which had its beginning at the Cane Ridge Presbyterian church in 1900. People came in wagons and on horse back from places in Ohio and Tennessee more than 200 miles distant. It was the first great camp meeting. There were 10000 people in camp, great number for that day when Kentucky was the very outpost of civilization in the West.
 The great feature of that revival was the exercises" of the convicted and converted. People were thrown into the jerks. their bodies being violent ly twisted and contorted. Others danced" a sort of delirious dance. At one time at the Cane Ridge meeting there were 5000 persons thus stricken of the Lord". Whatever may be the explanation of the bodily "exercises" of the Great Revival. It's influence was tremendous.
 There are many persons, Gypsy Smith among them, who believe that there will soon be a revival in the United States which will be as great in this day as the Cane Ridge revival was in that day. And the motto of the mod ern evangelist is Do 1t Now"

THE CENTURY PLANT.
Is Many Years Old Before It Blooms

Is Many Years old Before It Blooms
 Blossoms Once, Then Dies.
 Technical World Magazine
 The century plant, so named be- cause of the popular idea that 1t blooms but once in a hundred years, in one sense makes good it's name. for 1t blooms only once, then dies. Tn the genial climate of southern California 1t reaches maturity and blooms In flf- teen of twenty years, while in colder climates the period may range from forty to fifty years. There are many species of the agave family, native to northern Mexico, where it Is called the maguey. The plant furnishes "pulque." the national drink of MexI- co.
 At the time of blooming the plant throws up a single stalk of rapid growth to the height of twelve to twenty feet from which the tassel-like flowers sprout forth. This great flower stalks draws all the sap and vigor from the body of the plant which soon withers and dies. At the base of the thick green leaves are found little suckers, each with root, which when planted at once begin to grow. The end and edge of the leaves are well armed with stifr, sharp sptnes the prick of which is very painful This is natures way of protecting the plant from the ravages of rabbits and other desert rodents.

over-anxious efforts to raise them. as too much water rots them.
 Every rose-and In fact, most plants in my yard-have been raised from cuttings given me by friends, or gath cred while on my travels among loved ones.
 Mrs. Gayle gave me a "sofranos rose cutting. laughiagly remarking she was not sure of its living and Miss Cozart gave me two tiny cuttings that used to grow in her home on the hill. and am happy to say all three, are living and putting out little red leaves
 On September 29th friend gave me number of fine rose cuttings. not knowing the names of many of them and having planted them as have here described. I have only lost two or three of the weak ones. the others sending out strong new leaves and will in time be given to members of the r. c. A. who wish them.
 In the past few weeks have under taken and successfully accomplished the filling in and transplanting of my entire flower yard. and many who said if could not be done. now con graduate me on the success of my ven- ture. and the keynote to 1t all Is the fact that did not leave 1t to the hired men, but spent the time personally experimenting and at times taking up the tenderer' plants myself. and each plant was taken up, all the old dirt washed off the roots. and then planted in red clay and plenty of water with sand packed firmly about them.
 All my roses save the runners" were replanted in this way. only one losing its leaves but already new ones are re-appearing, so do not fear los ing 1t.
 I think the clay makes them strong CT, and gives them deeper shade. So I hope my success will encourage others who should attempt the same. for I find much. pleasure among my flowers. and spend many happy hours there. It Is like an album, each bush a memory of happy hour spent among friends and loved ones, some of them far from my home, and others gone. beyond return. What a pleas ure 1t would be If each one of the F. c. A. could have such ar album to remember the friends and loved ones. I hope each one may have that pleas ure
