Do 1t Now

Ask your banker what to in
vest in; he will say Real Estate.
Ask the rich man how he made
his start; he will tell you Real
Estate. Ask the Happy and
contented Man what makes him
so, and he will tell you that he
has just finished paying for his
home.
Buying Honolulu Real Estate
is not speculation or gambling,
but it is an investment as good
as u. S. Gold Bonds.

BURIED LONG TIME

An instance of long preservation OF
wood when encased in mother earth
is seen in the ditch being dug for the
new steam mains on Main street. a
portion of an oak log lies among the
dirt and rubbish thrown alongside
the ditch at the west corner o. Court
and Main streets, and this wood rep.
resepts burial of half a century in
the earth. 1t is still in a good state al
preservation and seems to hava been
kept thoroughly soaked in it's burial
place during the long time 1t lay be-
meath the surface. An old resident told
of the history Of the oaken logs and
recalled their being placed at the Cor.
ner of the streets two years before
the war. There were three oak logs
thrown across the street to make 3
crossing for foot passengers. The con
slant walking over them buried the
logs in the mud, as at that time the
river came close to the corner. A few
years later a high water completely
covered the logs and when the street
was filled in shortly afterwards, the
logs were buried some distance below
the surface, where they have been
ever since. One of them was struck
by the men digging the ditch for the
steam mains and had to be cnt away.
1t was found to be in excellent con-
dition.

BRIDAL P AIR
GO OVER Dam,
DIE TOGETHER
MAN AND WOMEN WHO LAUGH
AS CROWD WARNS THEM OF
THEIR PERIL IDENTIFIED AS
CHICAGO HoNEYMooNERs.

South Bend, Ind, July 1.-The
man and woman who Monday
took their lives by rowing boat
over dam in the ST. Joseph river
here were n. Lindeman and wife
of Chicago. They were on their
bridal trip.
South Bend, Ind, July GA man
and a woman swept over q dam in a
rowboat on the ST. Joe river near
Island Park, pleasure resort, Mon
day afternoon, evidently with suicidal
intent, and were drowned. Hundreds
of spectators who saw their danger
shouted warnings, t just as the boat
neared the top of the dam the man
stood up, calmly smoking a cigarette,
and smiled on his Wouid-be rescuers.
The woman was dressed in laven,
der. AS the boat drifted toward the
dam those on the shore saw her talk,
ing and laughing with hers companion.
The man drew the oars into the boat
and let is pass on toward the dam
without making an effort to check it,

When the couple came within 800 or
400 feet of the dam some of those III

through the water, and then into the

Death of Iowa Missionary.

Oskaloosa, July 6. = A cablegram
received here announces the death at
Seaside, Jamaica, of the Rev. Arthur
Swift, head of the Frieqds' mission
work in that island Mr.. Swift was an
fastener, but was well known among
the membership of the Friends church
in Iowa, having visited the churches in
the state several times at intervals
during the last twenty years. The
news of his death came as surprise
to his acquaintance here, as he was
not known TO be in failing health. The
one word paralysis" is the only ex-
PLANTATION given in the brief message.

there is practically no common meet
ing ground for the whole family.
This is grievous twentieth CEN
fury evil. The New Testament plan is
for the man to be the head of his own
house, and for him to lead the whole
family in unity of interest. When
families stand solidly together as
families, meeting daily about the one
altar, we shall hear less of the need
for juvenile courts. Nothing will keep
children away from the streets, away
from the gangs, and from the cheap
theatres, and the dance halls, like a
family life unified about common
cares and interests, and welded to-
gether by common love.
A Brave Mans Dignity.
Everybody who submits to injustice
is O foe to his race. Paul had been
wrongfully imprisoned and the mag
istrates sent to free him. He, a Ro-
man, refused to be freed in any such
light fashion. "They have beaten us
publicly uncondemned. men that are
Romans, and have cast us into prison;
and do they now cast US out privily?
No. verify; but let them come them
selves and bring US out"
That was spoken like brave man.
The non-conformers have ever been
the best friends of society. We can
not for an instant contemplate Paul
sitting supinely under the civic cor
ruption Of one of our modern munich
palities or. winlSing at the petty graft
OF the policeman on the beat, or the
wholesale robbery of the political
boss. He stood upon his rights as a
citizen. He was man before he was
a Christian. Religion has ever been
the pillar of law. The star chamber
has had to disappear before the pro-
gress of the Gospel Christian citizens
ought to be a terror to evildoers. Ev-
cry proud and unjust magistrate
ought to be brought to his feet in the
same obsequious fashion that Paul
humbled the naughty Philippian Off
cials.

SECRETS LEAKED OUT.

The Colony Club, of New York, that
advanced Organization exclusively for
women, which hitherto has barred men,
even All employes, has had sudden
switch of sentiment. It doesn t want
girl employees any more. Why2 Well
they talk too much. That IS about all
the explanation that can be had-and
that s in the strictest condensation
the women members.
Frank Wheatland yesterday took the
post of superintendent of the Madison
avenue house. And a corps of boys, clad
in white duck suits that make them
look like midshipmites, replaced the
girl "pagesses = who used to scurry
about doing the bidding of the fair
members.
The only feminine employees left are
SIX chambermaids and telephone girl.
There couldn t very well be men cham
bermaids, and everybody knows that a
boy telephone operator is worse than
none.
A couple of weeks ago the astound-
ing news leaked to the outer world that
a pretty large quantity of rye and
Scotch whisky was being consumed
at the club; also many cigarettes; like
wise a few cigars. Bills setting OUT
itemized accounts of these were actual.
ly printed by the newspapers.
Who gave the information2 Members
Indignantly denied TO one another that
they had failed to keep the secret. The
final verdict was: cit must have been
some of those loquaeious girls; you
know how girls viii talk, don It you, my
dear?" And some pretty influential
members Of the club decided then and
there that there must be no more TALK
and no more whisky bills becoming
public.
Hence Mr.. Wheatland and the white
duck clad bows,
