vesta, the sobs rising in her throat.
To this woman the abandonment Of

box and left the house. She could
hear her father laughing and joking
with her stepmother. and the noise OF
nirth fell Extensively upon her ears.
The dusk was deepening to dark and
the air was chill, but yeSta did not feel
the need of a shawl. She wandered
down the road, past the white gate to
the little bridge that SPAWNED the creek.
Here she loved to lean upon the rail
and watch the sunset over the fertile
fields. The sun had long since dropped
below the hills, but the girls over
wrought imagination could conjure up
the scenes of the past. She leaned
upon the rail and looked out across the
fields, now bristling with the frost
kissed stubble. She could see again
the glories of the waning day. She
could almost hear voice whispering
in her ear
Her hands clutched the rough bark
of the wood as in memory she lived
over that night when she had sent Ben
Folsom away because she thought it
her duty to remain with her father and
console him for his loss. She thought
of the sharp faced woman who was
sitting opposite him at the kitchen ia
bic discussing their new home in the
west and then she thought of the gen.
tie faced woman who still lived in her
daughters heart, If not in her hus-
bands.
So lost was she in her thoughts that
she never heard the quick tread of an
approaching pedestrian nor needed his
presence until brown hand closed
over her slender fingers.

The last nail had been driven home
into the shoe box, which contained the
books that were to be kept out for the
new home. The rest of the beloved

showing where the selections had been

occupation an, forgetfulness in her
efforts TO make her father forget his
loss. She had even refused to marry
Ben Folsom because she had consid-
cred it her duty to stay By her father
and comfort him in his sorrow
Ben had gone west and she was left
more than ever alone. Then had come
that terrible day, year and week
after her mothers death, when her
father had driven into the yard with
Sadie Connors, who had been teaching
school over at the corners, and had
announced his marriage.
Vesta tried to learn to love this
gaunt. bustling woman, whose every
trait was the antithesis of the woman
whose place she took, but the new
Mrs. Brewster had repulsed every adj
vance. She hated young persons. She
had married to be rid of them, and she
treated the stepdaughter with scant
courtesy.
The ways of the household were
amended to suit her radical tastes
The old rockers were sent to the attic
as too old fashioned and two upholster-
ed monstrosities had taken their places.
The other memorials of Vesta's mother
quickly followed the rockers to the
garrett and the house was completely
changed in appearance, as were the oc-

was to be given up. The fertile farm

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the "impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
. will, there's a way. IF we
conld but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable.''
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn coa liy-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"

DEFENSE OF STAMP COLLECTING

COWS 'INTERFERED
WITH j. s. MAIL

George w. Carr, assistant superin-
tendent of the railway mail service,
has forwarded to the Board of Super
visors of Hawaii a letter from R. v.
Woods, postmaster at Kealakekua,
complaining that cattle are a menace
to the mail carriers through wander
ing on the public roads at night, Mr..
Carr stating that mail contractors are
compelled to do so while it is optional
with the bovines. Postmaster Woods
had reported as follows:
son the morning of July ?, about 4
a. m, mail carrier, Charles Hooper,
from Hookena with the mail for this
office (Kealakekua) was thrown out of
his cart through driving over a cow be-
longing to Portuguese, Joe Henriques,
which was lying in the road. As this
man habitually keeps eight or ten cows
on the road and they are continual
source of danger to the inhabitants a
petition is being got up in the neigh
borhood asking the Board of Supervis-
ors at Hilo to take action in the matter.
If you would report the occurrence to
them, / think it would have some
weight, as, though the man was unin-
iured this time a serious accident caus-
ing delay of the mail might occur at
any time that he has to pass that place
on dark night. -
The petition was from residents and
taxpayers of Central Kona, begging
that the present law be enforced, and
stating that the public roads there are
now being used as paddock for herds
of cattle and horses which are pub
lie nuisance and dangerous for children
going TO and from school. :.

deems pertinent at this time:

Of business men and citizens attended

have been deprived Of much revenue.
The board held thst IT had no option
in the matter Of contests. and the
citizens will appeal to the courts
There surely must be some way by
which the Alabama Prohfbitionists
may save both the Prohibition law
and the public revenues.
For instance, why should they not
supplement the Prohibition law with
another providing that all deficien-
cies in the revenues resulting from
the Prohibition law shall be made
good by special taxes on the Prohi-
bitionists?
Assuredly those who insist upon
prescribing the meat and drink of
other people ought not to object to
paying something for the privilege.
