 Why I Was Captured.
 It was in the spring of 1885 about March s4th, only a few weeks before Lee surrendered ct Appomattox, that I was taken prisoner. I had been sent out by my company on a regular pas senger train to bring in some trains of supplies to prevent their capture by the Federals.

The city of Okayama, not very far
from Kobe, Japan, is celebrated for
three things. Here are made the best
dumplings in all Japan; here is found
one of the most beautiful and famous
of the public gardens of the empire
and here also is the largest orphanage
in the Far East.
1t was a pleasure to visit this city
last year and to see and learn more of
these things, and nothing was more in
teresting than the meeting with Mr.. j.
Ishii, the superintendent of this re-
markable orphanage. | had the oppor-
tunity of seeing this wonderful work,
of meeting the hundreds of little chill
dren gathered there, and of speaking to-
them and telling them of our life in
Hawaii
On the last steamer from the Orient
there arrived in Honolulu the assistant
superintendent of the Okayama orphan
age, Mr.. 7. Onoda. He comes to Homo
lulu for three reasons; first to visit Ha-
waii g schools and to study especially
the industrial work carried on at insti-
buttons like Kamehameha, Itahainaluna
and the Hilo Boarding School; second,
to acquaint his countrymen here with
the needs of the orphanage and secure
their support; and, third, to show pic
lures of Okayama and other parts of
Japan and so gain the sympathy and
of as many as possible in
this, one of the worthiest charities in
the world
Mr.. Onoda has brought some very in
teFesting pictures of the daily life in
the orphanage, and also moving views
of other places in the empire. A great
many in Honolulu will no doubt be glad
of this opportunity to see some new
moving pictures and some that are
quite out of the ordinary. Mr.. Onoda
gives the following description of this
famous orphanage, and tells of its work
and its founder:
Okayama Orphange, now in its
twenty first year of continuous service,
was the first Protestant institution or
ganized in Japan to care for homeless

enterprise to receive a grant-in-aid

tional in the scope of its benevolent
work
"Like many another striking success
in eleemosynary, educational or evan
gelistic effort, the grand work of this
great institution centers around the
unique personality of one individual,
the founder and present superintendent
of the orphanage.
ga man of simple faith sublime self
devotion and tireless energy, j. Ishii is
one of the marked workers of this ad-
vanced age Fe has been in turn an
ardent student of the lives and labors
of George Muller. General s. c.. Arm
strong, General William Booth, and DIR.
Barnado. His own work shares the i'm
press of their wonderful characters and
successful methods. But above all he is
loyal disciple of the Man of Naza-
reth, believer in practical righteous
ness, who spends himself and all his re-
sources in work for needy children, ex-
convicts and the suffering poor. He is
assisted in his present work by sixteen
school teachers, forty house mothers,
and fiftv other helpers, all Loyalty de-
voted to the interests of the orphanage.
The esprit de corps of the institution
is one of its chief assets and recon-
mendations
'Four times in its history Okayama
orphanage has risen to meet great ma
tional emergencies-viz., two wars. one
earthquake and one famine In the
spring of 1906 it befriended 823 famine
waits, taking them to Okayama from
Northeastern Japan. and 2S5 of these
children are still in their foster home.
In consequence of this sudden increase
of its numbers from 375 to 1900 chill
dren, debt of $4,000 has been con-
tracted, which should be Cancelled dur
ing the present year in addition to sup
plying daily needs.
Quite a number n Honolulu became
interested in that dreadful famine in
Northern Japan that occurred in 1906,
and money was sent from Hawaii to aid
in the relief work. They will be glad
to see nictures of some of these waits
saved from starvation.
This is certainly most worthy work,
and is carried on by noble man. Mr..
I. Onoda, as the assistant superintend- |
ent of tbs great institution, will no
doubt receive a warm welcome during
his stay in Hawai-

CHRONIC

TROUBLE
Another Case in Which the Tonic
Treatment Was Successful
After Other Methods
Had Failed.

A very delicate stomach requires
easily dfgested food. but nature never
intended that the food should be di-
gested before it is eaten. The stomach
must be strengthened to perform its
own work and what it needs is not
food already digested, but a tonic. The
processes of digestion are controlled
by the blood and nerves, and medical
science has produced no better diges-
tive tonic than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. This is shown by the statement
of Mrs. Amos Rogers, the wife of a
prosperous farmer. of Sycamore, De-
kalb county, III. She says:
Il was a sufferer with stomach
trouble for many years and was only
able to eat liquid food. l tried all
kinds of medicines and the most skill
full doctors, but they did not help me.
One doctor said I had cancer of the
stomach; another ulcers, and others
said it was my heart.
During a visit to relatives at Ok
ford, n. Y, I was surprised to find the
great benefit they had received from
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and began to take them myself. At
the end of a few weeks I was eating
solid food and continued to improve
until cured. I had forgotten what re-
freshing sleep was until after using
the pills, but now I sleep well every
night. My general health has been
good and 1 always keep DR.. Williams
Pink Pills in the house."
The pills are guaranteed to be safe
and harmless to the most delicate con-
stitution. They contain no morphine,
Opiate, narcotic nor anything to cause
a drug habit. They do not act on the
bowels, but they actually make new
blood and strengthen the nerves. II

Prosperous Maine.
(Kennebec Journal J


No, the fact that the valuation OF
Maine has increased S25, 900, 900 in the
past two years will not be dWelt upon
ers. Figures of that kind only make
them ugly and Disguised. The con-
tinued prosperity deposits in the
tions of life among the common peo-
the way of Democratic success. If
ing, if savings bank deposits were
vanishing, if farms were worth less
than they used to be, if mills were
closed for an indefinite period-how
much more cheer there would be in
the hearts of the Democratic leaders
who are now trying to bluff and
bamboozle the people of Maine.
These are discouraging times for the
calamity howlers here in our State
and throughout the Union. Under
Republican management of it's affairs
Maine has had steady and substan-
tial growth and has enjoyed splendid
degree of prosperity. Its debt is now
close to the disappearing point, and
the "burden of State taxation" is so
little of burden that over one half
of the towns in the State actually re-
ceive back from the State treasury
more than they pay into it. The
business of the State is carried on in
business like way, with economy
and efficiency as the watchword.
There is no scandal in State affairs,
no change of graft or Encouragement
that can be substantiated. And on
top of this condition of things comes
the announcement, 80 discouraging to
the Democratic shooters, that the
valuation of Maine has increased
about $25,OO0,0OO in the past two
years. There are many other good
reasons, but this is one good reason
why Maine will roll up a big Repub-
lican majority in September.

Somerset Stock for EXPORT.

An Ayrshire bull, two years Of age
bred at Bloomfield Farm in this place
was shipped from here on Monday
last, destined for Porto Rico. The
Bloomfield Farm has seven head of
Ayrshire stock, one Of the very few
herds Of this breed kept Ia tbi. pari
of the state. No end Of trouble wa
experienced in getting the necessary
authority for shipping this animal "a
Porto Rico. Quarantine laws have
been rigidly enforced in recent years
and the transportation companies will
accept no livestock for shipment out
of the state, unless a permit from the
cattle commission of the state within
which the point of Destination is
located, il fled with the bill of lading.
In this instance, however, as the
animal was going to one of the L. S.
possessions, and IL was proposed TO
ship him from the port of New York,
1t became necessary TO get the CON
sent Of the New York state author
tiles. There was some DELAY at first,
as the New York state law, while
containing provisions for the trans
portation Of live stock through that
state for export to foreign country.
did not seem to cover request for a
permit for shipment through New
York to the Z. S. Insular possessions.
During the course OF negotiations,
which covered a period Of about two
months, the aid of the United States
Department of Agriculture was soil
cited but they were found TO have no
authority in the matter. The red
tape was finally Strengthened out,
however, and the animal set out on
his long journey, via the Maine
Central TO Portland, thence by the
Maine Steamship Company to New
York City, with transhipment TO a
Porto Rico line at that port. The
sale came about through DR.. Stevens
son, Edmond, who is a Porto Rico
orange grower, through whom a
neighbor in the cattle ranching bust
ness became interested in Somerset
county Ayrshire stock.
