CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER.

Christmas in the city. with its streets
 of light ashine; Christmas in the castle. with its many
 things and fine; Christmas in the village. with the
 neighbors on the street, And friendship smiling at you from
 the lips YOU love to meet: But Christmas home with mother
 you may take away the rest. And give me that for gladness that is tenderest and best Christmas home with mother as it
 used to be. you know, In life's divine reversion to the dreams
 of long ago;
 The old house ringing laughter from
 the lips of chick and child. The old dreams dancing after in the
 hearts just fairly wild. And the romping. ringing revel. and
 the dinner with it's smells of the old familiar dishes with their
 haunting homespun spells, Turn back again. oh. marchers in the
 ranks that ledu dNdN From Christmas home with mother to
 the fields of fame and fray. The triumph may be tempting and the
 victory fine and sweet. But Christmas home with mother
 makes the heart forget the street. And the roaring world around one. and
 the new life for the old. And its fanfare and it's tinsel and it's
 gilt without the gold, Christmas home with mother-tis a
 dream to make one creep To the attic as in childhood for little
 childhood sleep; And the waking at the calling. and the
 marching single file To the Christmas in the parlor with
 our faces wreathed in smile At the tender eXpectation-how it
 gloWs within us yet Of the things we said we wanted and
 the things we knew we'd get. Christmas home with mother-when
 it's train time let me know, For my heart has bought ticket to
 the days of long ago. And I have lost the city, with it's
 splendor and its gleam, In the Christmas home with mother
 that has come to be my dream The old house and the childhood, and
 her sweet face waiting there For the phantom sons and daughters
 single file upon the stair, -Bentztown Bard, in Baltimore Sun.

The Fl Paso Herald the other day printed a story of a loss of $4o,OOo sustained by the late J. J. Hagerman of New Mexico and St Louis by req son of a defective alarm clock which failed to call him in time to order the smudging of an orchard on a morning of a devastating frost. The Herald stated that the incident oc- cured several years ago. but was re- lated by Mir. Hagerman before his death" The story in itself is an in teresting one, but it would have been entrancing if it had been related by MT. Hagerman after his death.

A few months later, in a collision, several high of ficials were injured.

NO DESERTED FARMS.

The policy of conservation that made German forestry such success is applied also to agriculture. As we have stated before, Germany is not at all a land flowing with milk and honey In enormous parts of north ern Germany the soil is decidedly poor. With that of the United States it cannot compare at all But proper care did wonders While the methods of farming used by many Americans have resulted in the utter decline of good land in a comparatively short time. the farm lands of Germany, even though they have been under cultivation for centuries. bring forth rich crops year in and year out December McClures.

The palate is almost tickled with Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. The stomach knows nothing about it, it does not trouble you there. You feel it first in the strength it brings; it shows in the color of cheek and smoothing out of wrinkles.
 It was a beautiful thing to do, to cover the odious taste of Cod Liver Oil, evade the tax on the stomach, and take health by surprise.
 It warns, soothes, strength ems and invigorates. \

Mr.. Morse also brought news back
from New York that the American
Hawaiian company has decided that
the name of its new ger-freight
steamship shall be the Honolulan,"
spelled without the last ''u.' He saw
the plans of the steamer and found them
to include many features which will
please patrons of the boat when she
is placed on the Honolulu-San Francisco
run She is arranged for forty-fve
cabin passengers. The fnishings will
be equal to or better than most of the
liners plying the Pacific. The rooms
turned into suites, for whoever wishes
to pay for the enlarged accommodations.
The plans call for commodious and
comfortable social hall and equally
comfortable and commodious smoking
room. The Honolulan Will be run
strictly on the Honolulu-San Francisco
route, and will always sail from Homo
lulu when i'll the Islands. She will not
be diverted to any other port for any
reason whatsoever.
The other two new All freighters
being built, the Georgian and Carolinan,
are progressing, and the company has
in contemplation the building of three
| additional steamers when the trio now
being built are off the ways. With
the three now building the American
Hawaiian company will own eighteen
big, fine freighters all built on Ameri-
| can shipyards, and all operating be-
tween New York, San Francisco and
the Hawaiian Islands via the Tehuan-
tepec railway. The Massachusetts, now
being operated by the All. company
and under option 80 be purchased, may
| be bought in presently and added to the
feet. There is also talk of purchasing
the Pleiades.
Mr. Morse states that the company's
business via the Tehuantepec railway,
both ways, has been exceptionally
large and the company handled from
Pacific Coast ports last season for ship
ment to New York, 100000 tons of
| canned salmon, wine, wool, and such.
In order to keep up with the business
| the company has inaugurated six-day
service westbound, steamers sailing
every six days from New York for
| Tehuantepec.

laborers. a compensation equal to their
services and also to be based upon the
amount of actual work performed by
them. A general revision has been
made also in the wages paid to those
1aborers who work on day basis.
Under this latter arrangement. bo-
muses. have been introduced which will
give the Iaborer something further to
look forward to and work for at the
end of the year. This bonus applies to
those men who are working on the
day system at a wage of $50 month.
Those of them who average twenty
six days a month will receive at the
end of the year a bonus of so This
will constitute the unit and basis upon
which the bonuses will be figured.
Those who average less than this
number of days per month and more
than twenty viii receive their addi-
tional compensation at the end of the
year in proportion to this sum. The
event of their being incapacitared by
accident or sickness Will not initiate
against them, and they will receive a
bonus in proportion to the work they
actudliy put III.
The decision to resolve the rates
along these lines follows along the
lines of the resolution drawn up by a
number of the conservative editors
among the japanese, outlining a ten
tative rate of wages and system of
same which they considered fair to all
parties. These men We're those who
previously came out with a condemna-
ton of the methods being pursued by
the Higher Wage Association and who
have been working earnestly for the
welfare of their countrymen without
attempting to secure rates out of pro-
portion with strict fairness.
The association as a whole consider
ed the wage question during its last
meeting and the trustees have held
several meetings on the question.

MAY COAL HERE
WITHOUT DUTY
Continued from Page One. J

Honolulu lies the Closest of any port
to the track of vessels from the Pa
cific end of the Panama Canal to the
Oriest. She has the advantage of w.
ing closer to the Australian eoalfields
by twenty-one hundred miles than San
Francisco. Vessels from Europe. bound
for the Orient, will coal here rather
than at any Mexican port, where coal
is dearer, or at San Francisco. which
lies further out of the way, while here
Newcastle coal can be purchased cheap
err than on the Coast and at about the
price of Nanaimo coal, an inferior ar
ticle for steaming.
This ruling of the department of
commerce and labor is of great mo-
ment to Honolulu, more especially to
those Honolulans holding any Inter
Island stock, as it appears certain that
that corporation, If it remains in the
coaling business, will have before MANY
years have passed one Of the greatest
supply businesses in the Pacific. When
that time comes it is probable that
the Honolulu harbor will have been so
improved to admit the great four
teen-thousand-ton freighters of Great
Britain, and within the harbor will be
great c0aling docks where these yes
sells can tie up and receive their bunk
er coal through the great coal chutes
that will have to be installed to handle
the traffic.

Honolulu on World Circuit.

81 do not just at the present time
contemplate establishing any vaudeville
houses here to run in connection with
the Orpheum circuit, on the Coast. Do
YOU know that vaudeville today pre-
SCENTS one of the greatest problems in
the amusement world? 1t is problem
that is surely coming to a head soon.
To my mind it is only a question of
time when all of the large vaudeville
booking agencies in all parts of the
world will form one large syndicate
controlling an around-the-world circuit
of vaudeville houses, over which all of
the star and feature acts of London,
Paris and America will travel wear
after year.
When that time arrives Honolulu
will get the same vaudeville acts which
are shown all over the world. For it
would be impossible to cut Honolulu
out as the Islands are directly in the
line OF the Australian and oriental
bookings.
"Morris Meyerfeld. the president Of
our company. and Martin Beck. the

MEN UNABLE TO REACH YER
DICT IN CALHOUN CASE.
Judge Orders a Dissatisfaction Hold
Out for Acquittal Until the Last
Honey Insists He is Ready 10 Pro-
coed at Once with u New Trial.

Terminating in a disagreement OF
the jury with ten men determined on
acquittal and two steadfastly resolved
upon conviction, the trial Of President
Patrick Calhoun, of the United rail-
roads, ended at noon Sunday at a
Francisco. Five months and a week
had TRANSFERRED since the wealthy street
car nagnate, a descendant of Patrick
Henry, made his first appearance in
court to answer the charge Of offering
q bride OF $4,000 to a supervisor to OBJ
tain a privilege for his corporation.
Not until each juror had pronounced
as hopeless the prospect Of a verdict
was the order for their liberation
made by Judge Lawlor, the prosecu-
ton and defense giving assent to the
discharge. The trial ended quietly and
without demonstration. The court
room was well filed, but the sudden
climax did not permit of an attend
ance gathered from far and near.
The defendant and his attorneys as
well as the chief of the prosecution
refrained from m upon the dis
agreement when it was recorded and
quickly departed from the court room.
But five ballots were taken, three or
these shortly after the jury retired,
Upon the first vote the jury stood
eight for acquittal and four for con-
viction. Two of the four Joined the
majority upon the second ballot, and
one Of the remaining two announced
his determination to remain out a
month If necessary.
II am ready to try this case again
and I will go ahead tomorrow, if nee
essary," said Mr.. Heney an hour after
the adjournment.
Mr.. Calhoun said: "Of course I am
disappointed at the failure of the
jury to acquit me of the unjust
charges against me-. I should have
liked my vindication by the jury tc
have been absolute.
