SCOTTISH BARD
(From sundays Advertiser.)

years been one of the great nights in
the Honolulu calendar. This is due TO
the vitality and vigor o. Honolulu

Louis Stevenson was glad to be an
honorary member and patron He
treasured the silver thistle badge "
that connection until his death. and
the bauble suggested the title of one
of the finest editions OF his works.
The anniversary of Scotia's immor-
tai bard was royalty celebrated, under
the auspices of the Thistle Club. IT

did not suffice to Accommodate the

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Mr.. McKinnon said:
Brother Scots. gentlemen, we are
gathered together this evening TO do
honor TO the memory Of Scotland's
greatest poet-Robert Burns:
Gentlemen. on behalf Of the Homo
lulu Scottish Thistle Club, I extend TO
you all hearty welcome, and as Rob-
ert Burns would say wen TAX a cup
o kindness yet for the days o aud
lang syne."
II hope and trust that all Scotsmen
in this hall who are not members Of
this club will make il q point of honor
70 become members. and that at our
next Burns gathering they will be not
here as guests but as full members Of
the club.
1T would be out OF place for me 10
dwell upon the life or works Of our
ulustrious poet because you will hear
him spoken Of during this evening in
far more eloquent words than I could
ever attempt TO utter. It is sufficient
for me TO say without fear OF contra
diction that the memory OF Robert
Burns dwells in the memory OF all true
Scotsmen. high and low, rich and poor,
in the cold bleak north and in the
southern sunny climes.
This evening is short and our pro-
gram is long. and. as chairman OF this
gathering of Scotsmen and others, I
hereby rule that any further remarks
from the chair are entirely out OF or
der and that we proceed with the rest
OF the program without any further
delay"
Piper Stewart next came on with

NJ. Tosh traced the career Of Burns,
from his birth 14s years ago that
night. in g mud-walled cottage at CAL
lowsy. County OF Ayr, Scotland. He

dure the grinding toll Of that occu-
patton in his native land From this

MR. YoUNG's SPEECH.

Mr.. Young said he did not know
what it meant when he consented to
respond for the land o. Burns, or he
should have declined, as he felt IN
qualified TO do the subject justice.
Then he spoke Of Scotland's proud sta
ton since she annexed England and
Wales and held up a warning finger
10 Ireland" This set the house roar
ing and the speaker went on to tickle
his auditors some more. What he did
not say about Scotland, such as one
gets in atlas or cyclopedia, would Ill
a big hole in the public library. The
string Of anecdotes he told, illustrating
Scottish foibles and Scottish hurnor,
would make q good funny column or
two, while the results on the COM
pany. largely Of "Hoot Mon" compo-
sition, proved how slanderous was the
saying that it takes a surgical oper-
alton to get joke into a scotchman's
head
Nj. Young concluded by reading the
following original poem:
THE LAND OF BURNS.
In January when the crow
Can see no food at all in sight,
When all the land Is wrapped in snow
And spsTows for their morsels fight,
When farmer guards his stacks with

Where hearts keep warm though feet

Stephen.

Stephen Norman OF NOrmanstand had
remained a bachelor until close on middle
age. when the fact took hold Of him that
there was no immediate heir to his great
estate. Whereupon. with his wonted de-
cision, he set about looking for a wife.
He had been close friend Of his next
neighbOr. Squire ROwly. ever since their
college days. They had. Of course been
often in each others houses. and Rowiy' 4
young sister-almost a generation younger
than himself. and the sole fruit of his
fathers second marriage-had been like a
little sister to him. too. She had, in the
twenty years which had elapsed grown
to be a sweet and beautiful young woman.
In all the past years. with the constant
opportunity which friendship gave of
close companionship. the feeling never
altered. Squire Norman would have been
surprised had he been asked to describe
Margaret Rowly. and found himself COM
PEELED to present the picture Of a woman,
not a child.
Now. however, when his thoughts went
womanward and wifeward he awoke TO
the fact that Margaret came within the
category OF those he sought among His
usual decision ran it's course. Possibility
became probability. probability became
certainty; the semi brotheriy feeling gave
place to a stronger and perhaps more
selfish feeling. Before he even knew it

Officials on Thursday
MAY ASK FOR DELAY IN WORK
Insists That the Company Plans to Keer
Every Word of Pot the
City of Kenosna Just AS
Rapidly AS Possible
(From Fridays Daily.)

President Albert c. Frost of the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company held
a long conference on Thursday afternoon
with Mayor James German, City Attor-
ney John G. Slater and Alderman
0 'Brien at which time the matter Of
the work to be done by the railway
company in Kenosha was taken up ans
considered.
superintendent Willis Russell 81 the
Company was the only other pezsoH
present Mt The conferences While the
conference was of an informal natme
the President of the company gave the
city assurance that everything the
company had agreed to in rsgara
to the improvement of the city's sheets
wuld be carried out. Positive assux-
ance could not be given that the work
could be done at the time the city did
it IS share of the work and he suggested
that it might be possible that he would
be forced to ask that the work in which
the company was interested be done
last or that it be laid over for an0fhez
year Mr. trost stated that the Gnan~
cial conditions were adjusting thenz-
selves as rapidly as could be expected
under the circumstances and THAI he
hoped to be able to give more defnIts
reports in the near future as to tAe
time when the company would be ready
to take mp the work in Kenosha- AfE
Frost did not at this time make any
formal request for any extension Of the
time for the completion of the work
and his conversation gave the idea that
this would not be necessary but he SIM
ply referred to this as one Of the passi-
bilities in connection with the adjust
ment of the matter The officials show
ed spirit of fairness with Mr. Frost
and it was said that such an extension
would probably meet with favor among
the people interested and with the
members of the city council.
Mr. Frost stated to the council men-
bers and the city officials that the re-
ceipts of the Kenosha line had shown
distinct falling off in the last six
months and that the reduction would
amount to more than thirty per cent
since last September He stated how
ever that he had lost none of his faith
in Kenosha or in the Kenosha Fieetrie
Company and that he felt that the fall
ing off was largely due to the financial
condition and the fact that the Keno
sha factories had been running short
handed. The business is now showing
a slight increase, but it was stated that
it was not near as large rs it was at
the same time during the year 1907.
The matter of Improvements will be
taken up at later conference between
President Frost and the city officials
at which time more definite action wis
be taken.
