YEAR AGO AND NOW.

One often hears people talk about
putting money into stock and forget
ting about it, as it were, for a year,
two years or more,-and then noting
the results.
Let us have something practical on
this matter. Suppose Christmas eve
a year ago you had invested in stocks
any stocks, dividend paying or not
what would be the present status
of your investment? Leaving out the
small (but ofttimes intensely inter
esting) subject of dividends received
during the year, the results would
have been something like this:
Christmas eve, 1908, the stock OF
c. Brewer e Company was worth 5000
per share. During the year the capi-
tai was increased for the purpose Of
buying out the property, goodwill,
etc of w. G. Irwin & Company, and
yet on Christmas eve just passed we
find $500 per share bid for the stock
clean advance of so per cent,
On the same date in 1903 Eva
stock was offered nthe Stock Ex-
change at $2g.25 per share. This
Christmas eve $3.50 was bid and
$32.75 askeG--a healthy profit within
itsel
Slime date last year Hawaiian Agri-
cultural was $155 bid and $17O asked.
Last Friday the same stock was Of
fered at $500 and was worth close ~
that figure-another advance of 5O-odd
per cent.
The next remarkable showing was
in Hawaiian Sugar, for which last
year $35 was bid and $36 asked. The
holders are probably glad they didn't
sell, for the stock this Christmas eve
was $51 bid and $5225 asked
Honokaa year ago was offered at
$1425, and the records show that
there were no buyers. Last Friday
the figures were $2O.75 bid and S21. .25
asked.
Koloa a year ago was $14I5O, and
now $155 is asked
McBryde on the same date a year
ago was $3.50 bid. This Christmas
eve it was So bid and $5.25 asked.
Oahu Sugar was $275O; on Friday
it was $32.75 bid and $33.25 asked.
Olaa a year ago was $4.375, and on
the same date this year Sc bid and
S6.25 asked.
Pioneer Mill last Christmas eve was

$135, while this time it was S197 bid
and $19S asked.
Waialua would have made an excel
lent pigeon-hole investment a year
ago, it being $73 bid and SIS asked
This Christmas eve $12O was bid for
the stock and holders were demand
ing $122. s'.az.T
Another remarkable advance has
been in Waimea, it being only $4S a
year ago. This Christmas eve $3.50
was bid and $175 asked, an increase
of more than 200 per cent!
Last Christmas eve Inter-Island,
then capitalized at $1,5OO,OOO, was $125
bid. A year later, with the capital $2,-
$4,000, the stock is found to be $114
bid, which is not bad.
/ o. R. & L. Company at the last pc
riod was $11O bid, and now $144 bid,
$147.5O asked
Hawaiian Pineapple at the 1908
Christmas eve was S23, and at this
period it is $29.
In bonds it could not be expected
that there would be much advance,
they bringing the same interest all the
time; but there were some changes of
interest. For instance, Hilo R. r.
SKIES a year ago were $91.5O. This
Christmas eve $1OO.75 was asked for
them. Honokaa SKIES, the figures
were $1O1 last and $1O2 this period.
One remarkable change was in o.
R, & L. bonds. Last Christmas eve
the skies were $l0125, while this
Christmas eve $1O2 was bid for the
/ 5 per cent. issue.
Oahu Sugar fives advanced from
500 to S1O1; Pacific Mill skies from
S1O1 to $1O25O.
Or the whole lot Pioneer skies show
ed the only weakness, the previous fig
ure being $1O5 bid and the present
one S1O4.
The showing requires no comment
1t is remarkable enough on the face
of it, indicating a most satisfactory
growth in prosperity.

OLIVER TWIST"
AND "SAPPHQ'
BURLESQUE

All who saw the 1.-TWO Kings" at
the Orpheum last week were loud in
their praises at the performance which
was voted by nearly all to be the best
yet given by Jack Golden. Tonight the
bill will be changed again.
There will be big olio of vaudeville
consisting of seven good numbers,
among them being one by Jack Golden
in which he will depict a scene from
"Oliver Twist" For the afterpiece
the entire company will appear in the
farce comedy entitled 'Sophena,"
which is burlesque on the celebrated
play "Sapho"
The entire bill is a good one and
promises much amusement to tie big
audiences that are nightly attending
the Orpheum.
The public are beginning to appre-
ciate the good clean performances OF
the Golden company, and as long as
the present standard is kept up, a good
business is assured.
The Hawaiian star., 1909-12-27

Stock brokers entered upon their va
cation in earnest today, and it was
just as well; for, with the accumulation
of three days business and the arrival
of outside mails they had their hands
pretty full as it was There was some
bidding on the streets for stocks, but
no sales of interest were made. Prices
all along the line ruled high, street
quotations being upon much the basis
of last Friday.

But what Of the trials and pains and cares,
The troubles and burdens that never cease;
The hearts dull aches and the burning tears,

Many dear Lord arc thanking Thee today
For blessings Of earth and gifts and powers;
For strength and wealth aud love along lifes way,
For sunshine bright and song and dowers,
But what OF the sorrows often know
Tho weaknesses, pain and sore disease
The want and poverty, grief and woe,
Do we thank Thee Lord. for these
And dear Lord, che fsithess and the vain
Can thank Thee for tho sunshine and the light
We would do more, thank Thee for the pain;
The anguish and the darkness OF the night.
