A teacher in a Philadelphia Sunday
school was so proud of her flock that
she invited several visiting ministers
and elders to attend one of her classes

Then came the fall which invariably
follows pride.
Turning to bullet-headed, freckle-
faced little boy, whose ears seemed
about to carry off his head like an
aeroplane, she asked him to repeat
verse from the Scripture, but her only
answer was vacant stare.

you mean to tell me that you can't
repeat even one verse;"

tress, Will lake the Leaaina Part.

Grace Van Studdiford i'm the new
DeKoven and Smith comic opera, THE

Miss Van Studdiford has justly ac-
quired the title as reigning queen of

many enthusiastic admirers and critics
she would now be a member Of oscar
Hammersteins grand opera forces.
Flattery on this subject has only given
her renewed courage to continue i'm the
light opera field which she so much
adores.
The Golden Butterfly" is a real
comic opera bordering on the lines of
grand opera. The music and dramatic
situations demand a large chorus of
singers, dancers and a large orchestra.
The story of the opera concerns the
life and ambitions of a young composer
named Franz who is madly i'm love
with lima, a young singer I'm the Buda

and sends it to the manager. who de-
cides that it is just what he wants in

Lihue, Feb. 19.-Several new reser

the McBryde Sugar Company. in the
hills back Of Kukyula Inlet. which will
bring into cultivation large area OF
new land lying below the county road.

the foundations for the dams, of which
there will be three, one below the 9th
CT, in>Aipo valley, and fourth will be
PUT in later. They will be llnished in
three or four months.
The land under these new reser-
yoirs is at present uncultivated owing

at q greater elevation than the planta-
