Big Christmas
For Little Ones
MONEY ENOUGH FOR
TWO NAL L|HINI TREES

that Honolulu is not altogether for
getful of the tots There has been
enough money guaranteed not only
for this years "Malahini Christmas
tree" but also for next years.
There are receipted bills pouring in.
Merchants around town are contribute
ing something and everything neces-
sary to the good time of the children
tomorrow, They send in their bills
with mo charge across the faces
thereof.
Some things received will not be
handed out at the Christmas tree, for
obvious reasons. For example, the
Regal Shoe Co., donated S25 worth of
children shoes. Well, you can't dis
tribute $25 worth of shoes among 1900
kids, so what does the wise commit
tee do but hand the shoes over to the
Salvation Army. 1t is the Saliva
tion army's business to look after
souls, so of course, they will cover the
soles of shoeless kids. Not that any,
body needs shoes in the Paradise OF
the Pacific, but it shows that even
shoe corporation has something al
most approaching human sympathy.
Then there are some deserving chill
dren who will not be able to get to the
Christmas tree tomorrow, because they
are i'll. Their presents and comforts
will be saved for them and sent to
them. They will not be forgotten.
There are children at the Children's
Hospital and at the Kalihi Home who
come in this class. Mrs. A. E. Muir
ply and her host of angels will this
afternoon fit and hover about the

adorn it becomingly. Tomorrow

willing helpers will arrange the pre-

M'DuFFIE MAKES
WONDERFUL CATCH

Chief of Detectives McDuffie made
a discovery yesterday which, in a
manner of speaking, puts it all over
the discoveries of any former chief Of
detectives.
He was investigating the theft Of
some chickens at a Chinaman's place
and noticed something peculiar about
one of flock of baby chickens which
were running about on the old thresh-
ing-hoor.
McDuffie picked the chick up and
found that it had four legs. He told
the Chinaman that it was against the
law to keep chickens having more
than two legs, and the Pake excused
himself and begged the detective to
take the bird away with him.
McDuffiie didn't know what to do
with the chick at first, but, being a
man of resource, it occurred to him
that his barber must know something
about chickens, as he was continually
making egg shampoos, and to him he
decided to go.
The barber agreed to become fos
ter-mother to little four-legs, and Nc
Duffie accordingly left the quadruped
in his care, going home with the<rare
sweet Keeling of having done his duty

Motley Offers
KQhiO Home Rule
Nomination

HILO, Dec. 21.-Charlie Motley, the
great leader of the Home Rule party,
said last week that if Delegate Ka-
lanianaole were willing to run for Del
egate at the next election at the head
of the Home Rule ticket, he, Motley,
would be perfectly willing to yield to
him this place, which he has filled for
so many years.
Motley was in Hilo but few hours,
having arrived on Thursday afternoon,
bringing his daughter, Mrs. w. H.
Heen, to Hilo, and leaving for Hama
kua in the Mauna Kea the following
morning. The talk about the report
to the effect that the Delegate had
withdrawn from the Republican party
was all over the street, and Motley
was asked by many politicians what
his opinion of the situation was.
81 don't believe the report" said
Motley. Il think that it is all hot air.

KICK AT
EXPENSES
NEXT MEETING OF SUPERVISORS
LIKELY TO MAKE ROW OVER
"INVESTIGATION."

Mayor Fern went down country yes
terday and Investigated, with City En-
gineer Gere, alleged charges against
Road Overseer Paele.
AS far as the Board of Supervisors
is concerned, however, there has been
no investigation.
Fern said this morning that he kept
the matter out of the Board meeting
for the reason that he thought it only
just to investigate before charges were
brought before the board for investi-
cation.
AS a matter of fact, Fern intimates,
the charges don't amount to a row
of beans. Incidentally, there is go
ing to be a row at the next meeting
of the Board of Supervisors for the
reason that the Supervisors are likely
not to approve the expenses incurred
by the Mayor, ct al, in the investiga-
tion.

Twelve hundred dollies, pink, blue,

Boys like pocket-knives. And then
there are handkerchiefs for the girlies

Rain has been falling all day at
Wahiawa and at 1 p. m. it was still
raining steadily and the water in the
great dam was steadily rising. There

no damage has been reported. A thun-
derstorm broke over Wahiawa shortly
before noon accompanied by torren-

At Waialua 1t has been raining all

downpour ceased and the sun tried TO
break through the clouds. Manager
Kimball of Haleiwa 'phoned that al

roads any good it would not interfere

What he saw pleased him very much.
Between the courses of pre-Christ-

this afternoon he said:
"It-has been raining for three days

mo damage has resulted, the rain
having been steady and not hard. With
the reservoirs full and the mountains
well watered the water question is
greatly simplified and we will be able
to run for long time without further
worry"
Very heavy rains have fallen at
Waialua and on the mountains above
the plantation since yesterday morn
ing. From the dam it was announced
by telephone today that the water had
risen from twenty to twenty-five feet
and now stands 46.33 feet at the point
of measurement-there being some
thing over twenty feet in the reservoir
before the rains started in.
The downpour means much to the
plantation. Not only has the growing
cane had thorough wetting, but the

that could be desired.

fixed behind and do not reach to the
ground. General Grant would un-
doubtedly have said something special
about the bird had he seen it. The

four drumsticks. Also, when he feels
lonesome, he can indulge in cock-fight-

Mr. Roosevelt's Probable Route
THE night we reached Nairobi, Mr.. Cunninghame
dined with us at Mr.. McMillan's town bungalow
where he learned that Mr.. Seous comes out as the
Evening star., 1909-06-27

guest of Mr.. Mcmillan. with whom he is expecting to
90 safar for several weeks Immediately after Mr..
Roosevelts visit to Juja is finished Thus, unless
they arrange otherwise while shipnlates the Ad-
miral, while Mr.. Selous may shoot with Mr.. Roose-
welt at Thek or Jua, he will not accompany any of
Mr.. Roosevelt's long safaris
The Juja visit, however, may be deferred to later
date as Mr.. Cunninghame is keen to have My Roose
welt come out with him on short safar directly he
leaves Sir Alfred Pease and before the big rains
stopped, after certain game which is most easily
had during the wet season.
If such short safari is arranged, it is probable
that Mr.. Cunnnghame will take Mr.. Roosevelt to
Mount kenla, a weeks march north OF JuJa, for
elephant.
As for the long safari in British East Africa if the
choice left to Mr.. Cunninghame it is probable that
it will go by rail from Nalrobi west to kJabe
Naivasha, there detran circle the south end of
Lake Nalvasha, ascend and cross the preclptous
lofty wall of the Mau Escarpment, and thence drop
into the Sotik country; for there on the Limerick
Plains and along the upper reaches of the Amala
River is Cunninghames s favorite place for quickly
and easily bagging fine specimens of the abun
dant species.
On this route, in four to FIVE days march from
Naivasha, Mr. Roosevelt will be in good shooting.
There moreover he will be in reach OF some OF the
rarer species,-within two three days march
may be had on the crest of lsuria Escarpment; and
still, if he has patience and luck the Chlpa-
lungo Forest may yield him bongo; while two days
west of Sotk Bona, the Rongana, rhlno abound,
sporting horns up to thirty -four inches in length.
The Sotik safari finished shall expect to Mr..
Cunninghame march the safari north from GilgI,
probably to and past Rumeruti Bona on the Guaso
Narok River, thence swinging west to Lake Baringo
for greater kudu and lesser kudu perhaps, in
stead descending the northern Guaso Nyiro River
and following it east along the southern boundary of
the great Jubaland Game Reserve, and returning to
Nairobi by way of Nyri and Fort Hail.
