of the wood is brought out to per-

for such articles should be profit

when Kauai sends to the boys of
the Hilo boarding school for a
baptismal font made of the Big
Islands celebrated koa.

the benef1t OF its strateglcal posi-
ton in the heart of the Pacific;
controlling the commerce of a
large portion of the world; while
tourists, bringing millions of dol
lars, will flock to our shores to
behold the wonders of creation
unequaled in any other part of
the globe.
Fifty years ago I visited XII
lauea from Hilo, travelling on foot,
taking two days to reach the vol
cano. Another day was consumed
in descending to the depths of the
crater, and passing, by slow and
painful stages, to the Lake of
Fire on the opposite side. Within
the last few days I visited the
same crater, going by automobile
from Hilo to the volcano, stay
ing in luxurious hotel on the
brink of the crater, and then by
swift passage in an automobile,
almost to the Lake of Fire. Hav-
ing occasion to call in the services
of a physician from Hilo, I used
the telephone, and obtained the
presence of the doctor in two
hours.
We have received warm well
come from my old friends and
from many new ones. My wife
and myself will leave Hawaii with
the deepest gratitude to one and
all, and with our most earnest de-
sire for the peace and prosperity
of all our friends and the people
at large.
I have been greatly impressed
with the cosmopolitan character
of the people, in every portion of
the Islands. The dear, lovely,
true-hearted Hawaiian is giving
place to a more mixed and new
people. Hawaii is the Melting
Pot" of the Pacific, and is mould
ing many nationalities into new
life, which, l believe, will be bet
ter and stronger than any that
has gone before; provided, that
those who are the leaders, will
respect and carry out the old
motto of the nation and will bring
the Shinto and Buddhist temples
and other strange religions which
are coming to our shores into
peaceful harmony and obedience
to the Golden Rule and the re-
ligion taught by the Son of
Righteousness.-David B. Ly-

to the Hilo boarding school crafts
shop is revelation, showing
work in koa and mango woods
that would be credit to any
cabinet manufacturer, and should
be an industrial feature of every
public school in the Territory.
In the larger articles, such as
tables, hatracks, footstools, hall
and piano seats and umbrella
stands, the style runs to the
classic, though the rustic is seen
here and there. The boys, of
all ages and nationalities, receive
their instruction free of cost, and
it is a marvel how many of them
have a natural inclination for the
crafts.
1t is impossible to mention all
of the articles, nearly a hundred
in number, that are turned out by
the industrious little hands.

Christmas In
A Scotch City

Glasgow, the commercial metropolis OF
Scotland, with it's we'll nigh million in
habitants, can be chosen as an interest
ing illustration Of the manner in which
one-fOurth of the people Of the country
spend the holidays. Many days before
the store fronts on Argyll street-a
thoroughfare as busy as any in the
land-are gayly and profusely deco
rated with holly and evergreens. Above
nearly every entrance signs of well
come and the compliments of the sea
son are exhibited in holly leaves On
Christmas eve tn stores keep open
late. Either side of the thoroughfare
is a mass Of blazing, cheerful light,
and there is moving mass Of human
ity between. But when the stores
close they close until boxing day. All
the working people now get their
Christmas holiday.
On Christmas forenoon the lord pro-
vost or mayor presides at the annual
meeting and breakfast given by the
directors at the royal inirmary. His
lordship makes a speech, after which
there is distribution of good things
to all the patients in the large institu-
ton. Then he visits sundry other in
situations for the care of the sick and
poor, where there are Christmas freeing
and feasting. By the way, Christmas
day is one of the lord provost's busiest
days. At 2 O'Clock, according to an
nual custom for years past, he pre-
sides at the annual dinner given to
from 5000 to 5000 poor men, women
and children in the city hall, Albion
street. His lordship and The city
magistrates occupy the stage and take
dinner with the poor. During the re-
past, which consists of soup, beef, an
entree, plum pudding, tea or coffee and
fruit, stirring Scotch airs are played
on the big organ by the city organist.
At the close his lordship makes a
speech, which is reported verbatim in
the newspapers. 1t is usually a mas
terly production.
Outwardly the aspect of the city
resembles that of Sunday. Neverthe-
less thousands of people are moving
about The myriad of riveters in the
miles of shipbuilding yards along the
Clyde have come to the city with their
wives and families and are attending
the matinees or evening pantomime
performances that have already been
running. These pantomimes are a fea-
ture of city life in Scotland during
the winter. Usually three open at
the big theaters in Glasgow Christmas
eve. They are rehearsed for weeks
before. The playwright usually chooses
as his theme a fairy tale. "Jack the
Giant Killer" cali Baba and the For
ty Thieves" and aladdin and the
Wonderful Lamp" have been favorite
themes. AS a rule. the playwright re.

very dog that lay stretched at his feet,
as he lazily shifted his position and
yawned, would look fondly up in his
masters face. wag his tail against the
floor and stretch himself again to

Supper was announced shortly after
our arrival. 1t was served up in a
spacious oaken chamber, the panels
of which shone with wax and around
which were several family portraits
decorated with holly and ivy. Besides

"Aim high" they said to William Brown,
And he chose no&ons elevated;
To common things he gave a frown,
He felt for greatness he was fated.
Alas, he did not rise to fame
Nor realize his high ambition
He put so much thought on his aim
He quite forgot his ammunition.
And Glitch your wagon to a STAR"
Was what they counseled Henry
Walker.
He wished to journey on and far
Behind a steed that was no baker.
Alas, the journey that he made
Was not distinguished by it's fairness;
His wagon led no cavalcade
Because he overlooked the harness.
"Do not put all your eggs they said
To Hiram Perkins, Sin one basket

He did not think the eggs to gather.
"a burnt child breads the fire." they told
To Julius Miggles for his training;
He waited then till things were cold,

tains enough of the tale so that the
young folks can recognize the char
acters, but taken altogether the pro
duction becomes really a dramatic
burlesque of local life and character,
interesting, entertaining and even ele-
waiting to old and young. Actors and
actresses of renOwn take the leading
parts. while there are dazzling cos
tunes, magnificent scenery and a gor-
geous ballet thrown in. No wonder
it is that often until the middle OF
spring the pantomimes enjoy a con-
tinuous run. Latterly they become
in a sense classics, for their libretti
undergo weekly improvement at the
suggestion of local wits noted for the
pungency Of their sayings and the
fund of dry Scotch humor they pos
SeSS. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
these pantomimes are visited by some
persons each night all the season
through and by others fully a score OF
times
Then there is the usual exodus of
young men to the country at Christ
mastide. 1t is a common saying among
Scotchmen that all roads lead to Lon
don. This is changed to Glasgow in
some cases. There is scarcely a fam
lily Of note IN the Highlands thPt has
not a son at the universities of Glas-
gov or Edinburgh studying for the
professions of law, medicine, the pull
pit, the army or the home or foreign
civil service. With what hope and
pride the advent Of the young student
is looked for at the little railroad sta
ton up in the mountains on Christ
mas eve or morning! If he lives on
an estate the next day he is given a
side by his rustic countrymen in their
annual Christmas day football match.
The game is usually a stoutly contest
ed one, umpired and refereed by the
laird and heads of the estate. At the
corner of the field is placed cask Of
good Scotch ale. from which the play
ers regale themselves at half time.
Then the game resumes, and the sec
ond half is fast and furious. Around
the ropes are the young women OF the
estate looking on with pleasure and
discussing their choices in the dance
list of the evening Brooklyn Eagle.

Premonition.

Into the hearts of men today
Bringing to them fresh dismay
The sigh Of a list in an instant bore
The news that the struggle was on once
more,
That people last year deftly proved
Their cousinship twice or thrice removed
And family friends and the office boys
Must all have their jewels and cards and
toys
Then into their work with a newer vim
And a desperate force and with visage
grim
They sailed, for they knew twas no time
for play
And that worries would pile higher yet
each day
For Christmas was fifty days away.
