PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
One Of the painful incidents of the
strike was what may prove to be the
very serious injury to chief pump engi-
neer Jeremiah Darcy of the Honolulu
Plantation at Aiea the other day. He
was instructing some of the strike
breakers how to handle the oil burn
ers in a pumping station when the
front of the apparatus blew out and
burned the engineers face TO such an
extent that he is. low confined in a
dark room with the fearful possibility
of losing his sight.

The great card at the popular Art
theater this evening will picture the
terrible earthquake at Messina. This
awful catastrophe is of such recent
occurrence as to be fresh in the minds
of everyone. The pictures at the Art

as clearly as if laid out in front of one,
and the onlooker is made to feel as
though he were really amid the scenes
of destruction and death. The film
is treat of lifetime, both from an
artistic and educational point of view.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

I'VE do not intend to ask for the
militia until it is demonstrated that
the police are unable to handle the
situation" said an official of the
planters this morning, "and in that
case l am unable TO say whether or
not the planters would pay the eX-
pense of maintaining the men of the
National Guard in the field AT pre-
sent the police appear to have the
strike well in hand. We do not eX-
pect any disturbance outside of trou-
BILE between the Japanese themselves,
and on the plantations where such
trouble has occurred everything is
now quiet, the police are on guard,
and it is believed that no greater force
will be necessary. Nor is it planned
that the planters supply the police de-
partment with additional arms, as was
suggested, for we are not asking the
specials on the plantations 10 be. arm
ed with revolvers; clubs arc all that
are necessary to maintain order"
STRIKEBREAKERS ARE REGULAR
Regularly the strikebreakers go from
town to Aiea and Waipahu planta-
tiOns every day returning in the
evening. Today their number amount
ed to LOO. They are still paid $3.50
day and are paid at the end of each
days work. This is better money
than many of them have made for a
long time and they appear to be sat

a horde of strikebreakers may be seen

of the Hawaiian workers each pack
ing along a piece of sugar cane. They
are not interfered with in any way

LAUNDRYMEN SCARCE.
So many Chinese are numbered
among the strikebreakers that the
laundrymen left in the city are COM
paratively few. Washers and ironers
have left the laundries to make much
larger pay on Aiea and Waipahu, and
they make good laborers in the cane
fields. IT is an old sight to see an
aged Chinese proprietor of laundry
riding along in suburban street in
his little wagon, hailed FROM many a

MAINLAND INVESTIGATION.
Il have had the pleasure Of meeting
two men from San Francisco who are
sent here representing mainland news

would like to say that it will be
shown that there is no sense in mis-
representing facts here when the truth
will come out in mainland newspa-
pers.
WIRELESS INDIGNATION.
This morning received several
wireless messages from the other ISL
ands from leaders on the various
plantations who want to know the
reason of the arrests of Japanese be-
ing made here. They are very much
worked up over the idea Of peaceful
strikers being arrested.
"A PUT UP JOE"
THE eXaggeration of the affair at

There was no attempt on the part
of strikers to attack the Chinese and
Korean camp and the matter OF a man

Better Then Baedeker

A lady chanced to be left in GER
tain German city to do the points of
interest without her party. She could
not speak word of German and she
did not want guide. This is what she
did: She secured at neighboring
shop an assortment of picture post
cards of the most interesting buildings
and spots in the city Then she Sc
lected one of a public square, which
showed in the distance some of the
buildings pictured in detail on the
other postals. Copley square would
serve as a similar center for sight
seeing radiations in Boston. She pre-
sented this card TO the first amiable
and intelligent looking passerby. and
indicated by expression and gesture
her desire to be directed. Her in
formant tried first to tell her in Ger
man, but finally drew a diagram of the
streets for her. She thus reached the
square and then it was easy to find
many of her buildings. Whenever she
needed help she showed some one the
picture she wanted to match to it's
original and each time returned to the
square to start out afresh.
In this way she tracked down most
of the show places without trouble and
finally returned to the hotel by the aid
of the diagram, very well satisfied with
her postal guide.'-Monitor.

Natural riches are very unevenIy dis
tributed. Civilized man must go far
for many of the things he needs.
There could be no vegetable life with
out the heat and light that come from
the sun. AS heat and sunshine are un-
equally distributed over the earth,
they produce differences of climate and
consequently many varieties of vege-
tation. as, for example, the wheat of
the temperate zones and the cotton and
rubber plants of warmer regions. Some
regions also are far poorer in useful
rocks and minerals than others. Thus
Holland has no building stone, Switzer-
land no coal and the United States
much less sulphur than it needs. Each
country, therefore, must sell COM
modities in which it is rich and buy
commodities in which it is poor

der commerce so far as they tend to
keep peoples apart and increase the
cost of transportation. Valleys and
plains are the great sources OF food for
man and his domestic animals. Noun
tain regions are the largest sources of
the metals and minerals he uses. The
luxuriance and variety Of vegetation
decrease from the equator toward the
poles and from sea level toward high
attitudes. The ocean supplies fish and
salt and is the cheapest highway of
commerce. All these natural condi-
tions have a direct bearing upon the
needs of the merchant. He wishes to
know where he may procure his com
modities in large and regular supply
at reasonable prices and at low cost of
transportation.
The invention of machinery and other
appliances has multiplied many fold
the capacity for production. so that
the United States, with one-ffth the
population of China, has a greater pro-
ductive capacity than that country,
and the division of labor makes ex-
perts in all lines of production, thus
improving the quality, increasing the
quantity and thereby decreasing the
cost of commodities.

BranksOme Hall

Nine and twenty knights of fame
Hung their shields in Branksome hall
Nine and twenty squires of name
Brought them their steeds to bower
from stall;
Nine and twenty yeomen tall
Waited, duteous, on them all;
They were all knights Of mettle true,
kinsmen to the bold Buccleuch.
Ten of them were sheathed in steel,
With belted sword and spur on heel;
They quilted not their harness bright;
Neither by day nor yet by night:
They lay down to rest,
With corslet laced
Pillowed on buckier cold and hard;
They carved at the meal
With gloves of steel
And they drank the red wine through
the helmet barred.
Ten squires. ten yeomen, mailciad men,
Waited the beck of the warder's ten
Thirty steeds. both feet and wight,
Stood saddled in stable day and night;
Barbed with frontlet of steel, trow,
And with Jedwood axe at saddle bow;
A hundred more fed free in stall
Such was the custom of Branksome
hall. Sir Walter Scott

What Nature Bestows

\ SMALL boy was recently taken
~ during the night from the most
squalid of city tenements into the
country. and in the early morning came
his first vision of nature. After standing
spellbound and speechless for a few
moments he suddenly exclaimed in awe
stricken tones: 'rPll bet this is where
God lives"
Circumscribed and woeful as his life
must have been, that child was rich in
two things-a fine idea of God and
eyes that saw. How he came by them
we, of course, must guess, but this 1
know, the poorest parent may leave
a child this legacy, a seeing eye and an
intense love for the beautiful.
And the gift is so easily bestowed!
Take the little stranger as soon as 1t
can toddle out upon the grass plot and
teach the wee hands to earess some
bright flower, handling it as though
1t were a rare and precious thing.
(All values are learned from the esti-
mate we set before them) As soon
as the baby interprets words, tell it
nature stories; and when it begins to
gather knowledge, lot it ponder first
of all the wonders God hath wrought
from the dust of the earth. Then as
the mind broadens to receive, the heart
deepens to enfold the beauty of it all.
and the child, growing into a man or
a woman, can say:
Whatever comes into my life, what
ever goes from it. shall have the
hills, the trees. the sky. and over all
the God who said. 'Seedtine and har-
vest summer and winter, heat and
cold, shall not fail Daybreak. dusk
and starlight. curling smoke, blue haze.
mist, softened waving shadows and
rainbow lights will be mine; miracles
will be wrought in my window box and
in the weed patches, and glory will be
spread over the grasses for me-for
me because my eyes see. I can not be
lonely because these things talk to
me: 1 can not be poor, however / may
toll for bread / can not be long un-
happy, for love and cheer 1utter from
every leaf. So, as long as my eyes
see and my heart throbs, 1 shall mur-
mur: This is where God Iives.'

Bluebirds' Summer Home

A R. AND MRS. WILLIAM BLUE
NA BIRD arrived at the little town
of Gillette early in April, and,
looking about for day or two, de-
clded 1T would be a pretty place to
spend the summer in. Mr.. Bluebird
left Mrs. Bluebird in nearby tree to
rest while he looked about for a house.
After an hour or more he. returned and
said: Ny dear, L have found the cut
est little cottage you ever saw, all
ready to move in. Come and see it,
1t was near, beside a pretty brook, in
the hollow stump of tree There was
a large square doorway, and as cozy a
home inside as any bird could wish for
Mrs. Bluebird was delighted, and said !:
Billy, dear, this is just what we have
been looking for"
They Immediately began to collect
grass, bits of wool and other things to
make a warm nest. and after few
hours work were comfortably settled.
One day Mr.. Bluebird flew away to get
food, and on his return found that a
bird fairy had left three little eggs to
keep in the nest, which Mrs. Bluebird
had agreed to keep nice and warm. A
few days later, returning from a
longer trip, he found that the fairy
had been again and changed the tiny
eggs into funny little baby Bluebirds
OF course. they were both delighted to
have them, for they had been very
lonesome at times. Daddy Bluebird
said to Mamma Bluebird: Il must
work very hard now to feed my large
family, but If you will look after the
babies I will see that we all have
enough to eat And so the mother
took good care of them. while the
father fed them many times day, un-
til the babies grew fat and strong.
One day two inquisitive city people
passing by saw the Bluebirds' cottage
and looked in.
The two city people thought it would
be good fun to put up a door to the
cottage to puzzle the Bluebirds on
their return, and to listen to what
they would have to say about it, so the
man took a big skunk's cabbage leaf
and tackled it up with pin, covering
the doorway completely. Then they
sat on the fence little way off and
watched. Presently Mr.. Bluebird re-
turned, and seeing them. sat down on
the fence at safe distance also to
watch. Presently Mrs. Bluebird came
along and sat down beside him and
asked why he did not go home. He re-
piled: Don't you see those two per-
sons there? I don't want them to see
the cottage, for fear they may hurt our
children" Mrs. Bluebird said: 'I think
I hear them crying" and, without
waiting LOT a reply, new TO the house
and Immediately saw that it was closed
with big green door With wild
cries she flew back to Mr.. Bluebird and
told him about it, and, thinking that
perhaps their babies had been killed
they made frantic efforts to pull down
the door, and finally succeeded. Look
ing in and seeing the little Bluebirds
all safe and sound, they laughed and
called to the watching couple: city
folks, you are not so smart as you
thought you were"

Roller Skates

The inventor of the roller skate

years later he exhibited a pair Of

gave public exhibitions Of his prowess
in skating over smooth floor. playing
a violin the while. It appears how
ever, that his demonstrations were on
occasions rather more exciting than
successful, for il is recorded that he
used to fall about and smash into mir
