j. Lor Wallach bucks the center
| With his female pebble charm
And is bottled in the Bastile-
Well, l never
Ella Wilcox comes and goes
And the moving picture shows
Are dividing our attention
With the price of grub and clothes,
The financial situation
And what else, the devil knows
But Parenthetic Ann goes on
For ever.
With a vivid exclamation
And an enigmatic pun
She will criticize a nation
Or versificate for fun;
When it comes to shooting comment
She's the girl behind the gum
When it comes to singing ink
She's rather clever.
But, though civic declarations
Give up tying bows on trees,
And political explanations
Are forgotten soon with ease;
And tho fleets may come and go
Whence and whittier they may please
Communicative Ann writes on
For ever
One Jack Atkinson can lead man
to water but thousand Jack Ankin-
sons cannot make him drink.

Our Annie Marie Prescott, now that
Ella Wheeler Wilcox is out of hearing
says some nasty mean things about
Ella because she didn't like to lister
to gloomy hymns. l think Armies

Harry Orchard is to hang in May
In the shade of the old apple tree?

ly reviews a plan for dwelling the
Waianae mountain range SO as to Gu

glances over the morning paper hi
makes marginal notes of improvement
in parks, promenades, political policie
and the police patrol. The breaking
of his mututinal egg smell suggests
: putting a crystal cover over Punchbow
and flooring the crater for Mardi Ora
balls and Art League Exhibitions. Hi
nicely buttered toast, of course, put
in mind a proposition of baking brick
by the simple process of tuning fam
from the volcano, and when he take
swallow of coffee he gets an ide'
of how to clarity Nuuanu stream b.
the simple process of covering it owe
with Japanese tea houses so the rail-

banks. Ford is full or ideas and by tn
way, Honolulu does not recognize a.
idea until malahini springs it.
Brewery company stock has been &c

that the reason actually is none othe

campaign led by our good frien
Woolley. This is fact which Senate
Dickey and other co-workers with tn
prohibition general doubtless take t
their hearts with keen delight. 1t
the concrete evidence that the enemy
is a bit scared. Honolulu is beginnin
to wonder if all this noise about pre-
hibition is going to result in definit
action.
