RECALLS PLEASANT EVENTS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Old 1909 has passed into history, and
| can look back and see ever so many
things that l am thankful l lived for.
First | realize how good my father
and mother have been to me, and that
j have had plenty to eat and wear all
through the year.
Another thing that I am glad 1 lived
for is that I formed the acquaintance
of dear Aunt Laurie and The Herald
In writing our stories we have all
made much progress in composition,
and you have been Il great inspiration
in the work.
| am thankful that l have had the
health and strength to work. Another
thing to be thankful for is the election
of our city council. With Judge
Works at the head, it is bound to be
a success for honest work. His well
known integrity assuring that.
We may be thankful as nation that
the American people are beginning to
awake to the many reforms that are
needed. For instance, the toll of little
children in factories.
Let us hope that in 1910 the people
will realize what hold the trusts are
getting upon us and make every eff
fort to wipe them out of existence.
Your nephew,

FINDS MANY CAUSES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 will write and tell you "why I am
glad to have lived in the year 1907
The year 1909 was a very important
year in history and many other great
events have taken place.
About fifty years ago the faithful
oxen were used to draw wagons; then
horses and automobiles took their
place. What will come next? Aerial
navigation, of course.
In 1909 aerial navigation has made
great strides toward perfection and
many records were broken at the avia-
tion meet held at Rheims France.
People have become very much inter-
ested in aerial navigation and have
formed clubs to learn more about it.
Also many aeroplanes have been made
by different persons who were expert
menting in hope of inVenting a success
full flying machine.
The discovery of the north pole is an
important event which will occupy a

(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie
AM an unknown niece who has
just found you, so if you will
- own me l will write you letter
about my happiness of having lived in
1909.
one thing is that I have lived for
those who love me, at least as far as
1 can remember, and have also tried
to make myself richer in the educa
tional line.
[ have also looked out for the hap
pness of others.
| am also glad to have lived in the
time when the north pole was discoF-
cred.
Another thing is 1 am afraid is a

being "A Welsh pony which is my great
friend.

WRITES OF WAR J. TIME HOUSE

Dear Aunt Laurie
The house on the hill was a tumble
down old shack which had stood dur
ing the Civil War. Even a cannonball
had hit it and it had many strange
stories to tell, could it have spoken.
One day the village folks were sur
prised to see Wagonload of lumber
go up the hin to the old house. After
it came another, then some workmen.
They remodeled the house and planted
some trees and shrubbery around it,
so that it looked like it did before the
war, even to the color.
Then one day a carriage drove up
the hill and as furniture had already
been sent the people knew they We're
going to have neighbors in the old
house on the hill.
The owners soon came to be loved
by the village people and were known
as Grandfather and Grandmother
Dawson. The children never had as
much pleasure as when they were on
the hill. Cookies or sweetmeats or
other goodies We're always awaiting
them. LEILA CAMPBELL.

to tell me what kind to use when You

In a little red house in a hill lived
many children. Some had blue ewes
and light hair. others were dark. The
man who lived there was a kind and
good man. He would go to the
orphans asylum and get some chill
dren and raise them in his home.
Here was a beautiful lady whom they
called mamma" Every morning the

CHARLES AKAU
FOR THE HOUSE
Member of 1907 Legislature
May Be Candidate From
Fourth.

Charlie Akau. freight clerk on the
Claudine. who was a member of the
legislature of 1907, is regarded as a
possible candidate for the next legis-
lature He has been asked by good
many of the men along the waterfront
to become a candidate from the fourth
district, and while he is not particularly
anxious to sacrifice his business to
politics, il is understood that if the call
is loud enough, ne may heed it.
Akau was recognized as one of the
most efficient members Of the 1907
legislature. His name always came
first at rollcall and nobody ever heard
him say "kanalua or mahope. He
always knew how he wanted to vote
ana voted that way without any
hesitancy, which was in strong con
trast to the uncertain attitude of g
good many other members of the house
1t appears fairly probable thai

it will be favorably acted upon ant

OATH Of KING GEORGE
AGITATES ENGLAND

LONDON, July 27.-The bill offering
a substitute oath to be taken by the
present and future British monarchs for
that taken by the rulers for two hun
dred years, which contains clauses now
highly Objectionable to the Roman
Catholics of Great Britain and the en-
pire, is up for second reading in the
house of commons and is being debated
fercely. The Irish members and num-
Der of the English members are fighting
hard for the adoption of the new oath,
which eliminates the bitter expressions
of the old one, but which still retains
the obligation ON the ruler to support
the Protestant faith.
There are a number of the members,
particularly those representing the Or
ange constituencies, who object to any
change at all. These are opposing the
bill
The matter extends beyond the walls
of Westminster, and fights between
street mobs representing the Roman
Catholics and the Protestants have
taken place.
A Protestant demonstration has beer
made outside the house of parliament

visor from Puma. Herring was to in.
troduce the resolution, which should,
however, be directed only against
Desha, leaving Holstein out of the mat
ter, and Kelekolio was to support it.
The special meeting of the county
committee, which had been called for
last Wednesday night to take action
with regard to the precinct clubs which
had failed to elect their officers, was
chosen as the time to spring the plot,
but it seems that the change of mind
on Kelekolio's part queered the scheme,
at least for that occasion, Kelekolio
was on the scene, though he says he
had no intention of taking part in the
carrying out of the plan, but John
Herring did not attend the meeting.
In the mean time there were several
members present who knew of the plan,
and who were expecting that it would
be carried out. One of these said the
day after the meeting that the "boys
were much disappointed that the fire
works were not set off. They had ex'
pected to witness some excitement, and
were much disappointed at the quiet
ness of the meeting.
AS it was the meeting was a very
quiet one, but considerable important
business was done. Campaign Mana
ger Carl Smith reported that several OF
| the Republican precinct clubs had fail
! ed to elect officers on the date specified
| by the rules. He asked for authorize
ton to instruct the officers of these
clubs to have nominations of officers
on Saturday, July %, and to have elec
tons on Saturday, July 80. This wa
carried.
Smith then suggested that the meet
ing adjourn, as there was importan
work waiting for him at his office, bu
Bohnenberg wished to report on tn
formation of a Kuhio club at WaiakeG
and he spoke strongly in favor of form
ing such clubs in the various precincts
Another member spoke in favor o
the forming of auxiliary clubs. Smit
replied that he had given some though
to the subject of forming such club
and ii seemed to him that it was Ill
necessary TO do so. The rules of tn
party presupposed the existence of bu
one club, the precinct club, and tn
formation of such auxiliary club
might hurt the precinct club He di'
couraged the idea of Republicans joiI
ing outside organizations, Finally
said that number of members of tn
various precinct clubs had been maxim
showing ms bearers of tales whic
had come to them from various unal
thorized sources, Each member shoul
make It his business to discourage sue
tale bearing
At the meeting ii was decided TO al
point a committee of five TO draw Il
the platform, and the following men

that there was a clear case against both
defendants.
Attorney Chillingworth, for the de-
tense, admitted that Heine had com
mitted an assault, but commended that
the evidence showed that no bad Ian
guage had been used. He said that
Ayres was bigger man and that, al
though his action mightn't be strictly
legal, he, Chillingworth, would have
rushed to the defense of friend, just
as Heine had done
The judge ruled as above stated,
warning Heine to keep away from
places of i'll repute in future.
During the trial verbal moving pic
lures of the local record of Jack Nc
Fadden were introduced.
An interesting exhibit in the court
room was Ayres optic, painted in
Hitchcockian colors.
The conviction of Heine and McFad-
den marks the passing of the Dingbat
club, of unsavory memory, among whose
members both the young men mentioned
held high office.
