The True Shepherd.


Dogs in general are spoken of as
the servants and friends of man.
Only of the sheep-dog, it has been
claimed, can this be said with ab-
solute truth. In his Memories and
Portraits" r. L. Stevenson relates
an incident in which the shepherds
dog showed greater business acumen
than its master.
Once, in the days of his good
dog, he had bought some sheep in
Edinburgh, and on the way out, the
road being crowded, he lost two.
This was a reproach to John and a
slur upon the dog, and both were
alive to their misfortune. Word
came after some days that farm
er had found two sheep, and thith-
er went John and the dog to ask
for restitution. But the farmer was
a hard man, and stood upon his
rights. How were they marked?"
he asked, and as John had bought
from many sellers he had no notion
of the marks.
Very well" said the farmer,
then it's only right that | should
keep them"
Then said John, Its a fact that
| Gamma tell the sheep, but if my
dog can, will you let me have
them?"
The farmer was honest as well
as hard, and l daresay he had little
fear of the ordeal, as he had all the
sheep upon his farm into one large
party, and he turned Johns dog in
to their midst. But that hairy man
of business knew his errand well;
that John and he had bought two
sheep and Ito their shame) lost
them. He knew besides (who
knows not. except by listening)
that they had come for their recov-
cry, and, without pause or blunder
he singled out first one and then
another the Two waifs~
The shepherd and his dog what
do l say The true shepherd and
his man then set off together in
jocund humor, and smiled to ither''
all the way home, with the two re-
covered ones before them Dumb
Animals.

The Rev. IrI R. Hicks 1912 Almanac.

The Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1912 Almanac.
Before the great Drouth of 1911,
the Hicks Almanac gave timely
warning. For over two years prior
to 1911, the Hicks Almanac again
sounded a warning of drouth dam
ger. And so for forty years this
same friend of all the people has
steadfastly refused the offers of
spectators and continued to warn
the public of the coming dangers of
storm and weather. AS they should
have done, the people have nobly
stood by Professor Hicks, their faith
full public servant, who has grown
old in their service. Send only One
Dollar to Word and Works Publish

Some folks blow in lots on a blow
out.
To retain blessings you must
pass them along,
1t is good thing to feel younger
than you look.
1t is easier to work some men
than to get them to work.
Many a good ,horseman fails to
put bit on his own tongue.
A good many down and out
pugilists keep on hitting the bottle.
If worry makes you cuss your
troubles. 60 out behind the barn
to do it.
Visions of wealth are easily
dreamed, but it takes work to full
fiji them.
Friendly interest is not a good
excuse for sticking the nose int o
other peoples business.
The first-rate man is willing to
cooperate with his neighbors for
the good of his community.
1t does not always indicate that
one really is right when he vehem-
emily declares that he knows he is.
Sometimes in waiting for a fav-
orable opportunity one is grossly
deceived by appearances, which he
finds out too late.
When a rich man gets tired do
ing nothing he calls it ennui; the
same affliction in a poor man is
pronounced pure laziness.

Money Invested
In a Home Brings
You Real Rewards.

that cannot be measured alone
in dollars and cents. There's
satisfaction in knowing you have
a home when possibly all other
investments fail-it gives you a
feeling of security and demands
the recognition of your fellow
townsmen, because by building
you show your faith in the future
of the community. And every
community is known by its deeds.
You can help and at the same
time help yourself. A home in
vestment is always the most
meritorious, and loss is less like
ly because you are dealing in
values you understand and with
people you know. We have sup
piled the lumber for the homes
of many of your friends who are
now on the road to success, and
want to talk with you whenever
you're ready.

All good Democrats will keep
aloof from the peace disturbers who
would create a disturbance over
Missouri's attitude regarding the
Presidency. The Republicans are
kicking up the row. 1t does not
matter half as much who is nomi-
mated as who is elected the next
Democratic president. Democratic
principles are right and only trial
is needed to vindicate their sound
ness. Rails County Record.

AN EXCITING
WEEK IN SUGAR

Willett & Gray's Journal July 81
The week under review has been one
of the most important because of the
excitement and advances attending
it, that has occurred in several years.
A great disaster to the European beet
crop is evidently firmly believed uy
operators on the sugar exchanges.
and our own correspondent and beet
expert, +. o. LIGHT, continues to
cable us each week for some time
past that the weather is unfavorable,
but in reply to special question he
replies that the extent of the damage
cannot be estimated Just now.
The course of prices for the week
has been eXcitedly upward, both
abroad and here.
Beet sugar advanced on Monday to
Us. lid. for July, reacted to 12s
l7Ad. on Tuesday and rose to lbs.
I2Ad. today, with further advancing
tendency, Cane Javas rose from 13s
W IO5' Ous dJ Ju6 CLOSE.
European sugar consumption to
June 1 shows 500 per cent increase,
say 165,109 tons.
Our weekly Cuba cable gives island
receipts 5000 tons against 1000 tons
in 1909. Four centrals are working
against two last year and five in
1909. Rain is wanted for the growing
crop.
A paragraph herewith calls atten-
ton to the increasing production of
Java white sugars in that country, of
much consequence in connection with
the abolition of the No. 16 D. S. from
our tariff.
Java produces this year 1,265,OOO
tons of sugar by early estimate,
which may be increased later.
At the close the market holds it's
advance fully and sellers pretend TO
, higher values before selling.

for fifteen shares between boards
Sales of eighteen, seventy and ten

STANDARD OIL
BEARING MARKET

San Francisco Chronicle, August 1
The belief is currently expressed
that the Standard is bearing the oil
market in every possible way and that
all statements coming from it's offices
are for the purpose of bearing the
market In one instance it was point
ed out that the published report of
the test we'll drilled by the Standard
to investigate DR.. Merriam's theory
regarding a big supply of heavy as
phaltum oil below the strata of light
oil, was given out solely for the pur-
pose of getting people to believe that
there is plenty of oil and consequently
be able to bear down the price to the
consumer.
One operator expressed the opinion
a few days ago that the conditions
now are merely the dark before the
dawn" and he believes that the day is
not far distant when oil will soar up
ward in price.

NEW CLUB OF
IMPROVERS

A new improvement club was ten
tatively organized Monday night when
about twenty residents of the Kalihi
district met in the Kalihiwaena school
and discussed the matter at some
length. L. H. Mesick was elected
president of the new organization, and
Henry O'Sullivan was temporary Sec
rotary. Another meeting will be held
next Monday evening at which a re-
port will be received from a commit
tee appointed to draw up a constitu-
ton.
The new club will claim for it's dis
trict all the territory mauka of King
street between Kamehameha school
and Moanlua.
This district has been one of the
most neglected sections of the city,"
said one of the organizers this morn
ing. I'VE have received almost no
attention from Territory or county in
the way of improvements, and in fact
government property in the district
is the most neglected of all. We hope
to have a club of from 200 to 400 mem
bers, and we propose to send dele
gates to the Central Improvement
Committee, and to get out do some
hustling in behalf of Kalih."
