Especial Correspondence OF The starr
WAILUKU, February PA new
steel mill to cost between $4,000 and
$4,000 has been ordered by the Pho
neer Mil Company for the big Laha-
ina plantation The new building,
equipped with a crane and Twelve
rollers, will be erected as soon as the
present grinding season is over. The
new plant will be much more efficient
than even the present nine-roller mill,
which has turned out such excellent
work in the past.
The large reservoir is to be made
bigger, and the water development
by more tunnels viii probably be CON
tinued.
Wailuku Improvements.
The grading is being completed this
week in front of the Waikiki school
house and the ground prepared for the
extension of the sidewalk. The por-
ton of the irrigation ditch that was
formerly exposed in the lot recently
purchaled by d. H. Case is being
made a blind ditch under the side
walk. The consequent improvement
is great.
The Maui Soda and Ice Works, Ltd,
under r. A. Wadsworth's manage
ment, is considerably charging its
plant. The land for the purpose was
purchased of the Kaahumanu church,
Wailu5u through an arrangement with
the Waikiki Sugar Company. 1t is un-
derGtood that considerable new ma
chinery is ordered for the ice works.
The main portion of the house of
G. A. Hansen, head steamplow en-
gineer Of the Waikiki Sugar Compa-
ny, is being torn down and will be
made over new This is one more
plantation house of the Wailuku Com.

new.

TEARS, IDLE TEARS

By Alfred Tennyson. Tears, idle tears, I know not what they
 mean, Tears from the depth of some divine de-
 spair Rise in the heart, and gather to the
 eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no
 more. Fresh as the first beam glittering on .
 sail, That brings our friends up from the un-
 derworld, Sad as the last which reddens over one That sinks with all we love below the
 verge; So sad, so fresh. the days that are no
 more. An. sad and strange as in dark susa.ass
 dawns The earliest pipe of half awaken'd birds To dying ears. when unto dying eyes The easement slowly grows a glimmer-
 ing square; So sad. so strange. the days that are no
 more. Dear as remembered kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy
 feign'd On lips that are for others; deep as love. Deep as first love. and wild with all re- o Death in Life. the days that are no
 moro.

NATURE TAKING POETS
From the Baltimore Sun.


 The poets are responsible for great deal of mawkish sentimentality as well as some beautiful sentiments regarding the moods of nature. Ruskin. in one oi his earlier works, had a sentence some thing like this:
 "The hills to the left sank away in a long, low. sad colored line'
 In a new edition, 20 or 30 years later, he added footnote saying that this was all bosh;sthe line was such as would all ways be made on cloudy day, with mist in the air, and had nothing either sad or glad in it.
 Which was not exactly true. yet we ap- preciate his maturer feeling when we think of the nature faker bard who spoke of the autumn days as melancholy and "the saddest of the year."
 What is there melancholy in the days of autumn, in crisp, cool mornings that add to the energy of every human being, that turn the woods into nashings and flamings of riotous color. red and russet wine and crimson. gold and garnet and brown; that edge the fields with the rare combinations of asters and golden rod?
 Spring with its freshness, summer with its fruits, winter with It's sparkle and cheer-there is one glory of one and an other glory of the other, but the glory of none is equal to that of the fine au- tumns of Maryland.

CANDY UNKNOWN TO THEM

From the New York Evening World.
 Miss Liberty never smiled upon three happier children than Meyer. Aaron and Olga Kellner, who landed a few days ago after having experienced the great est pleasure in the steerage of an ocean liner.
 Born to the peasantry of Russia, they had never tasted candy until they board ed the steamship Neuw Amsterdam bound for the United States They did not even know what candy was, for they had never as much as seen a gumdrop in their lives.
 But some woman in the first cabin was their benefactor. Surely she must have been an angel, the children thought
 Russia had been oppressive to the Kellners. The father was suspected of being Nihilist, and he decided to bring his family to America.
 There was no railroad near where the more than 100 miles. carrying their bag gage with them,
 The children attracted attention almost immediately they had boarded the Neuw Amsterdam. One of the stokers, who had become interested in little Meyer, was talking to several first cabin passen- gers about him the first day out, and they all expressed desire to visit the steerage. The woman with the candy was in the party.
 Meyer was the recipient of the first box of candy. He had heard about candy but never having seen it, he was not quite sure about it. Finally he passed the box on to Olga. She, too, viewed it curious ly, then bit off the end of caramel Meyer was more confident, and he began on piece of chocolate. Then Aaron tasted of the candy and presently the faces of the three little ones were fairly shining from joy.
 | The Kellners were detained briefly al Ellis Island, and while the government did not supply the youngsters with candy some of its employees, who had heard oi the episode aboard ship, did. and the youngsters came ashore smiling and stell. ing everybody who could talk with then they had really discovered heaven.

CONSCIENCE MONEY"
New York Telegram.

From the New York uelesram.
 People who have, in some way or other. defrauded the government are often driven by conscience to pay back In the last fiscal year conscience money" brought to the federal treasury, during the fiscal year of 1912 just closed, a, total of ss514.
 This amount came from several hum dred people, the identity of all unknown, and made an aggregate of $4Sl,So1 thus paid into the treasury. While 1t Is pop ularly supposed that these contributions are placed in separate fund, or what is familiarly known as the "consciencs fund.-" there is in reality no such dis tinct account piling up in the vaults Of the government. As the money is re- ceived 1t Is immediately turned into the general fund of the treasury and expend' ed the same as any other receipt.
 The conscience contributions range from a few cents to thousands of dollars. The largest received during the fiscal year was 5000, while the gareatest single sum ever received was sS5,o0o, number of years ago.
 The anonymous contributions represent payment for customs duties withheld, under valuations, the use of cancelled postage stamps and doubtless an infinite number of other things, known only to the senders
 The first contribution was received in 1911. the second in 1927. Ever since the latter year they have been coming in with increasing frequency.

LUCKY STOCKINGS

From Tit-Bits.
 Stockings figure in some curious su- perstitions touching old customs, es- pecially those connected with marriage. Everyone knows that there are actions both lucky and unlucky. Among the former 1t is commonly held that to put on any article of clothing wrong side out is decidedly a sign of good luck, but 1t must be done accidentally, and when the mistake is found out no change must be made, else the luck will Immediately vanish. This idea is very firmly held about stockings, probably because it is more easy to make such a mistake in putting on a stocking than in donning other garments. It would be hard, indeed. for woman to put on her dress or a man his coat or vest in- side out without noticing what he was doing.
 Another superstition touching the use of hose is connected with dreaming. This is a Scotch notion. If a person be about to sleep in a bed that he or she has never slept in before, the cer-
 
 placing the stocking taken off the right foot under the head. Not only will the sleeper be sure to dream, but the dream will certainly come to pass
 l Of the superstitions attached to mar riage ceremonies, most people have heard of "throwi; the stocking" This rite would hardly De regarded now as consistent with modern notions of de- oorum, but it was highly popular in former days. The ceremony was per formed at the conclusion of the we'd ding days festivities by young men and girls seated at the bed-foot-the former having the brides and the latter the bridegroom's stockings--whose object | in throwing the hose backward over their heads was to hit, if possible, the head. and especially the nose, of one or other of the newly married couple, A successful shot meant marriage at an early date for the thrower. | Another old custom which the super stitious sometimes remember when they get married is to wear one old stock ing and one new one, following the thought, perhaps, that every bride should wear something old, something new" To this day many brides adhere to this old habit, or superstition. but they do not confine the apparel to stockings,

THE JOY OF FALL
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The gentle spirit of the Fall

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The gentle spirit of the Fall
 Wiu como to glorify the air, And the football player will appall
 The population with his hair. The referee will climb the poles
 And sound his shrill official toot, And the moth will drill a few more holes
 In everybody's Winter suit.
 There is no glory to compare with that awaiting just ahead. when the gossamer gets in the air, and the sassafras is flaming red. A million harps have duly twanged upon the glories of the time, but a poet still were rather hanged than not intone his little rhyme.
 You may destroy his throbblng Tyre and pitch him headlong in the sea, but death alone can quencfl the fire that underiies his melody He'll string a horse hair on a pole and even stronger than before up- lift the passion of his soul with getting back upon the shore.
 At such time, though you may laugh,
 It would as probably avail To catch the acrobatic calf
 And tie brick upon his tail. One whiff of Autumn in his nose.
 And lowering his playful head, His rear appendage still uprose,
 Though weighted with keg Of lead.
 You can't restrain the joy of Fall thai palpitates in living things. nor hope to djssipate the thrall in which a poet. aster sings The calf will kick and buck around, the colt will cut few higf inks and the poets zither will resound despite what anybody thinks.

GORKY AT HOME IN CAPRI

and is taking great interest in the Rus4 sian socialist party, although the latter have accused him more than once of livz ing an exceedingly easy life under the Italian skies, and far from the real strug- gle with all it's tragic side in which they are engaged
 Yet Maxim Gorky is by no means a sel- fish member of his party. A large pro- portion of the amount he receives on ac- count of royalties from his works is sent to Russia to help the organizations which are fighting for freedom and for con- stitutional government. The annual in- come of GorlSy is said to be something near a2o,o00; but his living expenses do not exceed three figures. All that is left is freely given away, as Gorky considers himself a kind of trustee for the lower Russian classes amongst whom he was born.
 The sympathetic feelings of Maxim Gorky towards the Russian peasants could be no better expressed than by this episode. which an Italian friend of his, Signor Roberto Bracco, the well known author and dramatist, was kind enough to tell me during a short visit that we both paid to the Russian master. We were once sitting" said Signor Bracco, "Gorky, few friends. and myself, on the beautiful terrazo of his house in Capri, on hot summer afternoon, while the Neapolitan painter, Vincenzo Mgliaro, was busy drawing some sketches of Gorky to be used for a great portrait of the writer which is now almost finished. Gorky was requested to sit, and he was. in fact, leaning on an armchair almost motionless, looking toward the immens- ty of the sea. No one was speaking, but we were all listening to powerful gram ophone which echoed in the air it's bari tonal voice. We asked to hear through the gramophone some of the beautiful and melancholy Russian songs, whose origi- nality and whose strength of sentiment tality are almost unapproached by any other music. They were the songs of ex- lied prisoners proceeding to Siberia or of prisoners waiting for their last judg- ment, or, maybe, of the poor peasants dy- ing of starvation on the deserted steppes. Vincenzo Migliaro and myself were star ing at Gorky, who was still sitting, almost motionless, in his chair, looking toward the sea- What is he thinking off" said at last. Miglaro bent his head down to catch sight of his eyes. He is crying, you knowp he then whispered to me It was true. Maxim Gorky, the man who had fought through the mosts stormy life the man who had won the hardest battles, was in tears while hearing these songs, which spoke to him of the unshakable ideals of liberty and equality, the ideals which he had conceived in the days when he had been poor and helpless and which nothing on earth. would cause him to for get. .'f

Recognition of Dr. knapp's Work

Those who knew Dr. Seaman A. Knapp personally and those who had observed his broad and far-reaching efforts to promote agriculture in the south can be counted upon to take a lively interest in the movement to raise fund for proposed memorial. The entire south should be aroused to a just appreciation of the man who brought his scientific knowledge and his energy to bear in advancing southern farm industry and placing agriculture on higher plane.
 Dr. Knapp developed the rice indus try in Louisiana and Texas, and it was he who in 1908 inaugurated the dem- onstration work to fight the boil weevil. Dr. Knapp was truly great man and his memory should be hon. pred in substantial way.
 H. J. Willingham, state superin- tendent of education, has addressed a letter to the school teachers through out Alabama asking that Wednesday, November ?, be set aside for the pur- pose of paying honor to Dr. Knapp On that day the movement inaugu- rated to establish large agricultural school at Nashville as a memorial to Dr. Knapp is to be explained, and steps will then be taken to raise part of the $150,OO0 which the memorial committee asks for. MT. Willingham is desirous that the school children should contribute as much as 10 cents each toward the erection of the pro- posed agricultural school. It is req sonable to expect that nearly every child will make little contribution. It should certainly be easy for tho committee to have S150,000 in hand by the end of the year.
