The Hilo Railroad Company, in adj
ditlon to pushing the work on the Ha-
makua extension forward, is straining
every effort to complete four new
coaches with which will be needed for
the traffic when the rails have been
laid to Hakalau. The cars, when com
pleted, will be of the standard variety
and in outward appearance will be
very similar to the coaches now in
use. The manner of construction will
be somewhat different, however. The
new cars will be of the best type to be
found anywhere in the United States.

tions, climbing to the top shelf. There
he found a small bottle In which his
mother had put some corrosive subli-
mate tablets for safe keeping, the
tablets being used in the preparation
of an antiseptic wash.

ter, who Immediately swallowed its
contents. Mrs. Mackln came in just
as the child had emptied the bottle
Emetics were given and Doctors
Milliken and Pepper were summoned.
The child's stomach was pumped out
and for short time she seemed to
rally but little later began to fail
rapidly and died in four hours after
drinking the poison.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the house at 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon, August 7, by Rev. George
B. Merriam of Skowhegan. The buri-
al was in the Forest Hill cemetery.

A MIDSUMMER HYMN.


In the beautiful dawn of morning
My praise shall ascend to Thee,
At Thy touch the earth awakens
And joins In it's song with me.
The leaves of the tree-tops whisper
Their praise for the rising sun,
And the chirp of the bird and insect
Proclaim a new day begun.
Oh Though Glorious King who dwell
eth
In unapproachable Light,
Who cen fully declare Thy beauty
Or speak of Thy matchless might?
We adore Thee for love as boundless
AS Thy wisdom and Thy might,
'Tis revealed in the days bright sun
shine,
And the still and starry night.
Far more In the coming Of Jesus,
To rescue the world from sin,
To arrest the tide OF sorrow,
And join His rich blessings In.
So we praise Thee for love as match
less,
AS Thy wisdom and Thy power,
1t shines through Thy vast creation,
IT'S sun in the wayside flower.
