JOHN VIERRA-Cne of the last

wrote was about the famous old bun
galow up Nuuanu valley which was

F. SCHNACK-It is particularly
gratifying to me after having been
one of the first to protest against the
lawless banana cutting by the Board
of Health to have had the privilege
of presenting the matter to the su.
preme court and to have been sus,
tanned in my protestations.
G. B. CURTIS-The impression that
merchandise generally is higher in
price in Honolulu than on the main,
land is an erroneous one. In dry goods
particularly our merchants sell as
cheaply as in San Francisco or even
New York, Notwithstanding the diff
culties we work under as regards
transportation, lack of pronounced sea
son changes, etc.
e. ]. HYDE Spakane)-There have
been sixty or seventy people from my
part of the country in Honolulu this
winter, and 1 think there are twenty
or more here at the present time.
This is an ideal place for spending
the winter There is every reason to
believe that this town will be called
upon to take care of hundreds where
you now have one, in a few years.
JOHN H. WILSON-Hawaii belt
road has Oahu belt road skinned a
mile. 1t costs $4,000 mile on one
section and $4,000 in another section.
A. A. Wilson's bids were $9S, $3.50 rs for
section one, five and a third miles
long, and about $4,000 for section
two, one and a third miles, these be-
ing the lowest. My bid on the Heeia
belt road section was $79,432, for five
and third miles.

under The Coconut Tree"

BY H. M, Ayres.

A pretty good joke on w. H. Smith
is going the rounds. Billy went to his
barber shop for a scrape the other
day, took OFF his coat and sat in a
chair waiting his turn. There was a
vacant chair in the shop, one of the
BARRIERS having gone to lunch. Pres
emily a malihini came in and glanced
around the shop. No one took any
notice Of him, which must have peeved
the stranger for he approached the
popular shoe man sitting all unsus-
pecting in his immaculate white shirt
sleeves and asked him why in the
name of Sam Hill he didn't go to his
chair and attend to business instead
of incoming over the pages of the
Police Gazette.

F. SCHNACK-Th fact that the At
torney General as legal adviser of the
Board of Health, knowing all the
while that the banana-cutters had not
a leg to stand on, still abetted and
encouraged them, and repeatedly
threatened and intimidated the people
who attempted to protect their prop
erty, stamps the late banana crusade
as the most culpably lawless violation
of individual property rights with
which Honolulu has so far been
served
REV. DIR. SCUDDER-Many indica-
tons seem to point to a great relig-
ious movement here. Individuals are
beginning a new life. If Christians
cooperate there will be many more.
There is widening interest among dis
Iciples-a healthy ripening. The quiet
parlor conferences, though small, are
impressive with their earnestness.
The spirit of personal responsibility is
gradually rising. There is a longing
for unity of effort among various
churches.
MORT MURAMOTO-The secret of
growing roses is in three things. Feed
them with rich food. Water them
twice a day, they are thirsty. If the
roses live in the ground make a dam
to hold the water till the roots drink
lit up. When a flower has bloomed
cut the stalk down to three inches or,
in thick varities, back to the third
bud. Then you will have little bush,
few leaves and large, fine flowers.
This is the rule of growing roses and
other flowers in Japan.
c. w. ASHFORD-Once when Ku-
hio, Sam and l were in Washington
looking for something new to eat we
were in place where we saw lady
with fat poodle dog. 1 said to Sam
for joke that if we had that dog in
Honolulu we'd make a fine fricassee
iof it. Sam said it made his mouth
water. Kuhio thought it would be
better roasted and stuffed. You ought
to have seen that woman. She
grabbed her dog and got out of there
like shot. Afterwards when she
saw us again in the street she
grabbed the poodle again and got
near policeman.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
POPE spent one day this week at
the Boys Industrial School, at Waia-
lee, and found things in very good
condition. They have a big steam
washing machine in use now, and
have no more trouble in keeping their
sheets clean. The superintendent of
the school forgets to make report of
such facts as-that the school has
fifteen acres of fine sweet potatoes;
that 5000 ironwood pines have been
planted near the seashore and are
doing we'll; that success has been had
in growing pineapples; that they have
fine herd of dairy cattle, and other
such things which indicate what is
being done toward making the school
pay its own way and make useful citi-
zens of the boys it has to deal with.

SHADOW EVIDENCE.

by Mary Mapes Dodge.
Swift DER the sunny grass
saw a shadow pass,
with subtle charm;
So quick, so full of life,
With thrilling Joy so rife.
I started, lest, unknown,
My step-ere it was flown
Had done 1t harm.
Why look up to the blue?
The bird was gone, knew,
Far out Of sight,
Steady and keen of wing,
The slight, impassioned thing
Intent on goal unknown,
Had held it's course alone
In silent flight.
Dear little bird and fleet,
Flinging down at my feet
Shadow for song,
More sure l am of thee
Unseen, unheard, by me-
Than of some things felt and known,
And guarded as my own,
All my life long.
