PINNED DOWN IN WATER
UNDER HORSE AND CARRIAGE

LIHUE. Kauai, June 27.-Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Brodie met with an acct
dent Thursday last week that might
have had far more serious result,
but, as it is, has given them a severe
shock.
They had been in Waimea and driv-
ing home TO Kekaha had come to the
long narrow stretch of road along the
dairy, when the accident took place.
Some four years ago the road board
raised this piece of road several feet,
making it very narrow and with deep
bitches on both sides. A low fence
was put on the mauka side, but this
has disappeared long ago and there
is absolutely no protection to a stran-
ger in the dark.
On this stretch Mr. Brodie's horse
espied an automobile approaching from
afar and suddenly swerved round pre-
cipitating the buggy into the ditch,
himself falling on top of it. The occu-

pants of the rig fell under it into the
water which almost always fills the
ditch. They would surely have been
drowned, being pinned down by the
vehicle and the horse, had it not been
for the prompt assistance of others
who happily were near enough to OBJ
serve the accident
1t is not the first accident that has
happened here. Before the road
was finished one rig went over the
side and was smashed pretty thor
oughly. Since then six other vehicles
have Jared likewise, in some instances
coupled with narrow escapes for the
occupants. The narrowness of the road
and the deep bitches on both sides are
dangers to the travellers at this place
1t would take very little money to
minimize the pilikia by filing in the
makai ditch with sand of which there
is an abundance across the fence.
probably to be had for the asking of
IL. 4 protecting fence on the mauka
side of the road ought also to come
within the limits of the county purse.

also an ancient practice. The arrows,
about two feet in length, were maue
Iolll the urIeu mower s.a4k OIL the sugar
cane, weighted at one end with cay.
In this game sides were CHOSEN anu the
side tnaC scored the greater number OF
points was the winner. The thrower
noIuIng the arrow at It's tail-end, stood
upon d sught hlll, from which to fling
his dart. 10y hoIdlng the dart over his
shoulders, with forward swing it was
sent gldIng along the ground, which
every now and then touched and
bounded forward again--just as a fiat
stone may be made to skip over the
surface of water. A more picturesque
scene could hardly be imagined than to
see men, women and children eagerly
engaged in this game, which has only
been forgotten In the present genera
ton.
Among many other favorite games of
the islanders the following may be men
toned:
Holua-sliding down grass-covered
hills on wooden sledges.
Hee-nalu-riding the surf on fiat
boards
Canoe racing.
Hoo haka-moa-cock fighting.
Hula-dancing.
Konane-a game played by placing
small stones in squares drawn upon the
ground or cut into rock in the form of
a checker board. One player strove to
make the other take his men by skilful
movements.
One great evil attendant upon all an
cient Hawaiian games was that of bet
ting. Wagering on the results of games
would often be very heavy. A man
would sometimes bet all he possessed,
including even himself, his wife and
property, and by this means many were
reduced to misery and destitution.-

Lima is dead yes dear friends, but
lst as think Of her as "a sweet little
angle IN the bosom Of our Savior"
They tell ua that God never loves as
better than when He sends ua bitter
troubles. How hard that 10 % believe,
but II we have faith in the certainty of
the life beyond, then we can bear such
blows as this.
To consign our loved ones to the
tomb is prOstrating agony but when
we can raise our heads in the serene
hope Of reunion then the keenest edge
of sorrow is tempered, and we can feel
that, Somewhere and somehow we
shall meet again" Then, too, the con-
viction that God is good, and doth not
afflict US willingly, helps Us steadily for
ward, giving US CLEANS Of light in the
valley of the shadow of death.
Just as the birds had gone 10 rest and
slowly the darkness was stealing over
all, the pure and spotless soul of little
Lima Gwynn was preparing to wing it's
fight from her earthly home to the
home above. Death came without a
pain or q struggle, only the hVid hues
Of her delicate skin told how rapidly
death was changing her countenance
and sending her away. When the It'd
ings of her death spread through the
neighborhOod that night there were
many Wakeful and weeping eyes in
nearly every dwelling. But we must
look up from our earthly homes to the
beautiful home above, to which her soul
has flown, and think of the sweet
flower lent to US for so short awhile,
and TO adorn her parents home, where
she was 90 tenderly cherished. This
little delicate flower has now been
transplanted to the garden of the Lord
where il will expand into more Won
drous beauty than any earth culture
can create. Oh could the veil which
hides her from your view be lifted for
one brief moment, and we behold the
radiant glory Of that upper world; could
we have seen her angel form WinRing
its flight in snowy wilderness toward the
throne Of God, and there amid the an
gel-choir singing the angel-song with
happy voice without q fear, pain or sor-
row, then shouldn't we be eomfOrted
and in time rejoice that in her innocence
and purity she is forever safe with
her God.
What blessed thing it is to be par
ents Of an angle and to think that out
Of that shining band Of little ones gath
cred to beautify the palace of our Lord,
your angel child shall watch and wait to
welcome you. An angel in heaven,
what q thrilling and comforting
thought.
May Jesus, the Comforter of all sor-
row, $50 fill your hearts with rich con-
ISOLATION Of His love that you may be
sustained through all this trying scene,
and be able to yield your precious treas
ure unmurmuringly to Him who doeth
all things for the best. " "What we

after. =" May God in his mercy put

Do not let US look into the grave FOR

above with the redeemed her life has
just begun. Look up and see her IN tho
arms Of the pleased Jesus, who smilingly
says TO you "Suffer the little children
TO come unto me, and forbid them not. Z"
In the spiritual garden you have now q
new interest your own plant is there (;

it shall become a glorious flower. Let

mansion has received your darling child,

there, then, If not before, you shall
