A Quaint Compliment.

On Mark Twain's seventy second
birthday Hartford clergyman said of
him:
mo wonder he finds happiness in old
age. All the aged would be happy If
they were as sympathetic and as kind
as he. He is continually going out of
his way to please others, and the result
is that he is continually pleasing him
self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint
compliment he paid me the last time
he came to hear me preach. he waited
for me at the church door at the serv-
ices end and, shaking me by the hand,
said gravely:
4 mean no offense, but feel oblig-
ed to tell you that the preaching this
morning has been of a kind that I can
spare, I go to church, sir, to pursue
my own train of thought, but today
couldn't do it. You 1nterfered with
me. You forced me to attend to you
and lost me a full half hour. beg
that this may not occur again."

Old Time Drunkenness.


In reviewing .sThe Early Married
Life Of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley"
the London Spectator comments on the
light IN which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century. There was q christen-
ing Of twins and rejoicing among the
neighbors, tenants and laborers. AL
the guests" says Maria, were as
drunk as I ever had the pleasure Of
seeing any one" Among the laborers,
however, 'that extent Of intoxication
was not reached which causes men to
be swine"
Lady Sheffield, who received this ac-
count Of the festivities, replies: II
would have given a great deal to be
present. There is nothing love so
much as such sort Of festivities, where
one has the satisfaction Of knowing
that one makes ones friends happy as
well as drunk" In London, she de-
clares, when you give ball you at
front many people, please a few, make
many drunk and yourself miserable. "

Parents are requested and ex-.
pected to cooperate with the
teachers in securing punctuality
and regularity Of pupils, as or
these depend the success Of the
child in any walk Of life. See
that your child is in school all
the time that school is in session
and if it does not advance, the
teacher is responsible, but If IL
is in school at irregular intervals
then you as parents are respon-
sible, for under our present
school system it is essential 10
advancement that the child be
prompt and regular. These truths
were demonstrated in our recent.
examinations wherein all pupils
who had been regular and stu.
dious received excellent grades
and their work will compare fay-
orably with the work of any
school in the state. while not so
much can be said of the irreg-
ular pupil.
Several books have been added
to the reading table: we also have
a number of new song books. so
if you wish to hear some excel
lent singing, call in at any of
our regular assembly mornings.

YACHT BENEFIT GAME At AALA

On account of the fact that work
towards making the professional
grounds at the Baseball Park ideal
for the next season has already been
started and the grounds are even
now to certain extent pIowed up,
the game Sunday between the Chi
nese 4. c. and the Kaalas will be
played at Aala park. These latter
grounds are in good condition and
there is no reason why very fast
battle should not take place there
Sunday. The regular Ball Park
grounds have been very rough all
the latter part of this season on ac-
count of the hard usage they have re-
Ceived, while the Aala park grounds
have only been subjected to the play
ing of few of the Junior leagues.
President Vierra of the Baseball
League has called meeting for to-
night, so that 1t will be agreeable to
all parties that the game to be played
for the benefit of the yacht take place
on the Aala grounds. He stated to-
day that he thought there would be
no difficulty in arranging everything
so that the yacht would receive SO
per cent. of the gate receipts.

GOLF TOURNAMENTS
At MOANOLUA LINKS

A short time ago new bunkers for
the Moanalua golf links were laid out
by the expert, Alexander MacLaren,
ana the first time these will be used
will be on next Sunday, when the
monthly tournament for the White
Rock Cup will be played. The course
is now an unusual as well as good
one, and some mighty good scores are
looked for as soon as the players be-
come accustomed in the recent adj
vantageous change.
These monthly tournaments are
exciting Il great deal OF interest
among local golfers,-in fact, they
have become the main feature of the
month in golfng circles here. In Or
der to win the cup, one man must
win the tournament three times.
Each man winning a tourney has his
name engraved on the cup. AS yet
none has won it more than once. En-
tries for the meet close Friday noon
at Ego. Hall & Sons, and those who
do not give official announcement OF
their intention to enter before that
time will have no excuse.

worthy to be remembered by the true
sons of the Chinese Aloha Club, and
several of the members are now
searching for a competent stenogra-

Aloha boys claim, and the claim is
supported by the local papers, that
notwithstanding they lost the cham
pionship of the Riverside Baseball
League they have made their name
known to the world that they can
play the national game, as was espe-
cially evidenced when they whipped
the Palama Athletic Club in a IT,
inning game by the score of to 3
last June.
II is rumored that the Chinese Alo-
has will be strong next season when
the Riverside League opens its series
and the chances of winning next sea-
