A Kitchen Hint.

A Baltimore housewife cooks new peas
without the bother Of shelling them.
Every one who has undertaken the task
Of shelling half peck Of peas in a hurry
viii welcome her suggestion. BE sure
the peas are fresh" says she. and pick
them over carefully. taking out all Of
them that are not perfectly sound and
fresh. Wash them through several waters
in which a handful Of salt has been dis
solved Then pour the peas, still in their
pods, into a kettle Of boiling water. Stir
them occasionally, and when they are
done the pods will all be floating on the
top Of the water, while the peas will be
on the bottom. Remove the pods with a
perforated SKINNER and then drain the
peas, add hot milk. a big lump Of butter,
and salt to taste. The peas have a much
finer flavor when prepared this way than
when Shslled and cooked"

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Have you grown wise enough to make
a real fight to forget annoyances, wor-
ries, and cares?
Or do you think and think Of them,
over and over again In moments of
that there is a great big something in
your head, boring its way through to
your very brains?
And then do you lie awake, wonder
ing why sleep will not be wooed and
why it seems that life has taken on
such dingy hues?
The Happy-Go1Luckies" are supposed
TO let opportunities slip from their fool
ish grasp while they are browsing about
in the sunshine Of good nature and easy
going. And probably they do, but some
times it does seem that it would be
wondrously comfortable not to care over
much when misfortune came knocking
at ones door, at least not so much as
TO let 1t take possession OF one, body
and mind.
Because there is healing and there
is forgetfulness in Gid's great out-of-
doors IL one will only take the re-
freshment unfollowed by the nagging
steps OF things gone wrong.
Live One Day at a Time.
Folk who have tried, who have lived
through worries and trials. and have
come out Of them sadly weakened and
frayed. tell US to live just one day at a
time, not to fret about what has gone
before or to fear what may come after.
But that is the one thing We have not
learned TO do, and do you know what
the trouble is in large part?
Most OF US do not half try to forget.
Something happens, maybe very big and
awful, or perhaps just little and annoy
ing; and instead of desperately trying to
drive it out Of mind We go over and over

it. from every angle, sit with it at meals
and take II with US when the time comes
TO close our eyes, but not to sleep.
1t is not in human nature to let the
big things go by, but most Of US have
only the ordinary Ills in life TO trouble
us and It is a pity to dwell upon them
day and night to the exclusion Of hap
pier thoughts and hopes for the future.
When you let some little annoyance
bother and bother, let II eat with you
and sleep with you, does II ever occur
to you to think Of that old warning that
some mothers, more naggtng than wise,
are fond OF uttering: stop that fret
ting, or III give you something to cry
about!' It is rank, unlovely, and really
must make a cross, cranky little girl or
boy a bit more rebellious than ever. And
yet sometimes when one is fussing and
fuming over the trifing ILLS that simply
must come to US, one feels almost afraid
that the hand OF real trouble may fall
pretty heavily and that then there may
be something to cry about"
Let Little Things Slide.
For II you and I were truly grateful
for our exemption from the cruelty hard
blows that come TO some folks in this
world OF many inequalities, don't you be-
lieve we would let the little things slip
along, from sheer thankfulness, without
any worry and without any protest?
day at a time or a year at a time
looking backward, there are not so
many things that were worth what they
cost in worry. Generally the most dread
I'd Of all developed a silver lining some
where, and II we compare our lives with
those OF many others We can we'll AFFORD
TO go on, by the day and by the year,
taking the small troubles as they come,
not stopping TO fret and fUme. For as
the strokes Of fortune and misfortune
come to all, they fall very softly in
some places, very heavily in others.
And II, as some folk believe, we get
cur deserts, our punishments, as We go
along It seems well to take care and not
Protest too heavily.
For II II were a human power at the
helm and We fretted overnuch about our
little trials and tribulatio1s we surely
would be reminded that in time there
" Ould be something to cry about"
Really, when one thinks OF the weight
OF worry over nothing and then turns
10 the real clouds OF trouble that sweep
ever part OF the world, It is with a sense
Cf weakness and a Consciousness OF lack
of courage.
At least, We can try TO forget, for the
time may come when We, too, shall have
something TO cry about"

FORTY SLAIN IN FIVE MONTHS.

Warsaw, Poland, June ga series OF
mysterious murders led to-day to a raid
on a house in the village Of Kurdio in
Novoyaladoga tenanted by a woman
whose daughter disclosed the corpses OF
seventeen human beings. All had been
tortured to death. The bodies were mu-
tilated almost beyond recognition.
Upon rigid inquiry the mother con-
fessed that she was at the head OF a
murderOus gang which in the past FIVE
months had slain forty persons. She
gave the names Of others in the gang
and within a few hours thirty were under
arrest. The motive in each case was

FRENCH HEELS ARB
EXTREME THIS YEAR
wearers Keep Balance Only with
Great Difficulty.

The average American woman Is for
tunately more sensible in the matter
OF footwear than her Partisan sis
ters, who are running 10 absurd ex-
tremes this season, not only in the mat
ter Of elaborate materials. but in the
height and slImness of their heels. At a
recent race meeting In Paris it was only
by great skill that the wearers OF high
heels kept their balance at all, and they
hobbIed rather than walked. and had the
appearance OF being deformed at the
knees.
In dances II is only possible TO glide;
the wearers Of such heels are balanced
entirely on their toes.
II beauty were achieved by such sacrI-
nee to comfort one might understand
this high heeled craze, but It Is posi-
lively ugly and unsightiy 70 behold the
natural foot so distorted, and although
we follow Frances lead in fashion to a
large extent let Us taboo very strenu-
ously this ridiculous fashion in heels.
Summer shoes Sensible.
At present the summer shoes are cut
sensibly. For the most part We see tones
OF grays and tans in suede and velvet
calf, with neat little bows across. and
where colored footgear is introduced II
appears in the uppers TO a patent golosh-
ed shoe. The buckled shape will be
worn a great deal this year with the
pannier dress.
For evening pretty slippers are made
mostly OF soft satin to match the frock,
or in some pretty contrasting shade.
Suede shoes are dainty also for evening
wear. and many gold and silver slippers
will be seen at smart functions this sea
son. Except for tiny bows or paste
buckles and sometimes a little embroid-
cry, the shoes are simple and neat.
The introduction Of shot taffeta dress
has occasioned a wave in favor OF shot
effects in hosiery. and many women are
wearing bright color silks under a con-
trasting shade Naturally these stock
ings are gossamer nghtness TO avoid
bulk.

Maui Man In
Very Bad Fix

There is a funny story going the
rounds about Maui man. The
yarn started in Honolulu and it
goes like this:
A well known Maui man visited
Honolulu this week. He put up
at the Young Hotel. His room was
situated about half way between the
Office aud the King street end of the
building.
Returning at midnight, the Maui
man, finding the heat severe, re-
moved all his clothing and lay out
sid all the bed clothing. The light
from the transom over his bedroom
door annoyed the visitor, and at
about one O'Clock he decided to
shut down the top and keep the
light out.
Carefully opening his door, the
visitor peered up and down the long
corridor and seeing nobody about,
slipped into the hall way and,
reaching up, shut the transom. At
that instant his door banged to
Then there was a scared man from
Maui. CARRIED rs Adam, and lock-
ed out of his room! A wild dash
along the corridor to a bath room
then ensued. There happened to
be no towels in that place. and the
situation became awful.
However, an attempt was made
to use the bath tIb for IA bed, but
it was not too comfortable. Toward
dawn the Maui man, feeling des.
parate, dashed into the hall and
sprinted to a room he happened to
remember a friend occupied.
The friend was awakened by the
hammering on the door and ther
the Maui man was rescued. Pyiamai

HONOLULU, Dec. 12.-I take
it that Maui, not having been at
any time blessed by visits from
some wealthy mining men from the
Western part of the United States,
knows not the joys and SORROWS of a
malihini Christmas tree unders-
landing, of course, that it was man
from Nevada who first planted here.
And if your people would deprive
themselves of the part of the pleas
ure which sometimes leaves regrets,
they will not begin on II tree of this
sort of their own making. The
first tree here was novelty and
conse quently "a surprise and after
that it became, and is, as great an
opportunity for the impecunious as
it is a source of pleasure to the
really poor. 1t is not difficult to
find on Christmas morning families
of Chinese who get a hand out from
the. malihini and then go to the re-
gular church affairs and double up
on the offerings. What is true of
Chinese is as true of people of other
nationalities and aside from the
pleasure the tree may bring to the
really poor and deserving there is
little to it. When | look upon the
people who hang at the foot of the
tree for two or three hours, believ-

At the meeting of the Maui Cham
her of Commerce that was held last
Wednesday, an important letter,
bearing on the scheme to establish a
Hotel on the side of Haleakala, was
read. The communication was from
III. P. Wood, of the Hawaiian Pro-
motion Committee, and j. n. ).
Williams presented it to the meeting.
Mr.. Woods scheme is to have the
Maui Chamber of Commerce under
wife a sum of $4,000 which would
be devoted to erecting fine hotel at
about the four thousand feet eleva-
tion on the mountain. The hotel
would be large, roomy house, and
wide lanais would surround the
structure.
Then. on the summit of Haleakala,
a large rest house would be erected
and comfortable beds would make
the tourista forget the cold snap in
the air.
Mr.. Wood provided figures to
show what the cost and probable re-
CENTS from the hotel would be. ALI
owing SIS, 900 for expenses during
the first year, Wood figures that the
income would be sufficient to pay
the interest on the sum invested and
leave some thousands of dollars t6
set aside as a sinking fund.

could TO the good wishes of the

full address. The illumination was
done by w. F. Kaae, who is an ac-
knowledged artist at that kind OF

Fine POrkers
On Molokai
Berkshire Pigs Doing Well And
Turning Corn Into Bacon
Growing Industry.


Howard Bowen, of the firm OF
Vincent Bowen, Pukoo, Molokai,
was a visitor to Wailuku during the
week. He came via Honolulu, and
the visit was partly for pleasure and
for business. Mr.. Bowen is well
known on Maui, and he met many
friends while in Wailuku.
The firm of Vincent Bowen is in
the big raising business, and their
ranch at Pukoo is gradully assuming
the look of big mainland concern
of the same kind. Only pigs with
a pedigree are allowed space at the
ranch, and some of the best Berk-
shire sows and boars are to be seen
roaming the paddocks.
The ranch is subdivided and the
greatest care is taken in the segre-
eating of the different classes oi
pigs. Some of the yearling sows
have caused sensation when ship
ped to Honolulu, and top prices
have been paid for the porkers.
The ranchers raise their own feed
and their cultivation paddocks are
being added to every month. Corr
is one of the standby feeds, anc
ground algaroba bean is also giveI
in we'll balanced ration. The re-
suit when shown in pork is graft
flying to the ranchers.
Alfalfa is raised also on the ranch
anda more contented lot of pigs thar
those belonging to Vincent Bower
Co. would be hard to find. Tn
business is growing larger every day
and the firm expects to have man,
thousands of pigs in the near future

PROPOSAL TO BUILD HOTEL
ON SLOPE OF HALEAkALA
"Promotion Wood" Writes To Maui Chamber Of Commerce
Would Have Association Underwrte S5O,OOO--
Committee Will Look Into Matter.

there was a general discussion of the
proposal, and the sense of the meet
ing appeared to be that a committee
should he appointed 10 go into the
matter. This was done and Chair
man F. f. Baldwin named Hugh
Howell, w. H. Field, J. N. S. Will
liams and w. o. Aiken. Mr.. Bald
win will also be on the committee.
The matter of hotel at Kahului
also came up, and the letter Of Mr..
Wood touched on the subject. Wood
claimed that hotel for the accomo-
dation of tourists is badly needed,
and that something should be done
regarding the housing of visitors to
Kahului.
The same committee that will
take up the Haleakala affair will
look into the possibilities as regards
Kahului. 1t was thought that a
branch of one of the Wailuku hotels
! might pay, if established at Ka-
hului.
The matter will be looked into
and, although it is thought by some
people that the time is not ripe fol
any such scheme as the Haleakaia
proposition, it will come about,
sometime, and that any investiga-
tions made at the present time would
all be valuable in the future.

Bad Drought
Now Ended

Although the ranchers of Maui
have gone through one of the worst
droughts of years, the loss of cattle
has not been very great. Careful
herding, and changing from one
paddock to another, has minimised
the loss, and now that the rain has
come at last, the prospects are
bright for a good new year.
1t is said that Haleakala Ranch
lost less than three hundred head of
cattle. That is good record, con-
sidering the number Of cattle carried,
and the bad drought that worried
everybody on the side of the noun
tain.
The Kula district had bad doing
and the end has not yet come. The
pipe line helped out lot, but only
for domestic purposes. Rain is badly
needed, and many people have be-
come very discouraged as regards
the raising of crops. Much trust is
being shown in the new variety of
of corn introduced by Marketing
Superintendent Starrett, and the
hopes of the small farmers are now
centered in the corn that is said to
mature in ninety days.
