Hooper, Nebraska. -"I am very glad
to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has helped me. Forfve years
I suffered from female troubles SO ! was
scarcely able to do my work. took doc
tors medicines and used local treatments
but was not helped. I had such awful
bearing down pains and my back was so
weak I could hardly walk and could not
ride. Ioften had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and I commenced to
take it. By the time I had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was q
we'll woman. Atone time for three weeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble return
ing. Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did for me. Iwould
not take $1,000 and be where I was. You

Your quotation from the bulletin Of

in hard rock that Mr.. Mason has done
some of his best work in water-finding

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir:-In your issue of the 9Th inst.
mention is made of the visit of the
Rev H. Mason to this territory, and
in this connection there is reference
to the dirining rod in water-finding
It would perhaps interest your read
ers to know that Mr. Mason does not
use rod to locate underground wa
ter, though he employs it to some ex-
tent to determine the depth of-the wa
ter from the surface. He finds the
water by the effect of strong influ-
ence on his body whilst walking over
the water with outstretched arms, and
though man with scientific train
ing Mr.. Mason does not attempt to ex-
plain the cause of this influence
which does not affect him when his
hands are by his side, or when not
over water. -. =
Mr.. Mason is clergyman of the
Church of England, and does not fol-
low waterfinding as profession, but
finds time at his home in New Zealand
to help the farmers, various public

REASON FOR CHANGING CELEBRATION

Honolulu merchants are doing just the right
thing in their efforts to switch the city's an
nual nocturnal carnival from Christmas Eve to
New Years Eve, 1t is to be hoped that the peo-
pie at large will fall in with the idea, for unless
THE people help the merchants might pass reso-
'lutions from now until Doomsday without any
appreciable effect
Christmas Eve is not time for street car
niyal, from the standpoint of either the mer-
chant or the citizen out on a belated hunt for
holiday gifts. OF recent years Christmas eve
has come to be more of a street riot than a car
lniyal anyway Fort street has been damned,
less than half of the jam being made up of peo-
pie out to participate in innocent merrymaking,
and more than half being made up of hoodlums,
gangs CT young toughs and a liberal besprink-
ling of common DRINKS.
The result has been a hideous din, sawdust
and confetti impartially scattered on the pave
,nents or and shot into the eyes OF the unwary.
several street fights, and a general bedlam in
which late shoppers and 1ate-open shops suf-
Tered alike. Business almost comes to a stand
still while the miscalled celebration is on.
New Years Eve is not only good time to
turn loose superfluous energy and gaiety of
spirits because it does not interfere with Christ
mas business, but it has Significance and a
reason for celebrating that Christmas Eve has
mot
AS matter of fact, the merchants of the city
have ample grounds for invoking the aid of the
police to stop some of the Christmas rioting UNI
der the common nuisance law, and if the police
wish they can effectually make some real moves
toward seeing that the date of the celebration
is changed.

Russian Ride a Real Test.

Russian Ride a Real Test. :
The so-called Russian ride has been
anticipated by officers of the mounted
service here with considerable trepida
ton, not because any of them lack
Lerve or are short on horsemanship
but because it is the exception to t,
find horses who can take the. course
with safety in the required time.
II is all very well for army officers
stationed in hunting country, where
good safe jumpers are the rule and
not the exception, say tho ipcsl saw
ice men, but In Hawaii, where hardly
a horse has any previous schooling
atioss country, it is asking too much
OF both animals and men. The course
itself is easw, the obstacles being g.
foot solid hurdles and bitches of vary
ing width and depth, but this in itself
is an added DANGER tfbf almost any
animal can get over SO low a hurdle,
ind is therefore put at it regardless of
special fitness. If 1t was a regular
steeplechase course, with stlff pos.
and rail, stone fences and water
jumps, finished jumpers would be an
atsolute necessity, while in the pres
ent instance officers are supposed to
ride their regular chargers.
The three accidents which occurred
on the course during the last few
weeks, and which put Captain Elliott
and Lieutants Groninger ana Sheridan
out of commission. have pointea
the dangers OF, the ride, and while the
men who had to perform were them
selves very little worried, the WV
sisters and sweethearts of the garrison
lave been wondering how the weather
will be for first class funerals.
| The Russian ride was ordered at
tie suggestion of 4 hard-riding cavalry
officer who was recently stationed ut
st. Petersburg, and who was keenly
interested in the cross country tests
rof the Cars officers. He came back
to the states full of the idea, and COM
municated some of his enthusiasm to
the chief of staff, with the result that
the ride was ordered for all officers OF

THE s0-CALLED 4sCHO0l. FUND DEFICIT

The technicalities of.the tax law and of the
act of the last legislature providing for the
maintenance of the public schools are such that
few people understand that the so-called
deficit in the school fund Is not deficit and
that there is really no fixed school fund, except
the appropriations of the last legislature for
school buildings and equipment. With these
appropriations the department of education has
nothing whatever to do as a matter of discretion.
Consequently, the only school fund.- is the
elastic amount set aside by legislative act pro-
siJing for the maintenance of the schools.
This amount is based upon THE following pro-
vision in Act SO of the legislature of 1911:
ssThe total number of teachers, including
Supervisors and principals, who may be contin-
1ionsly employed by the department. in any one
wear shall not exceed one for every thirty-fiye
pupils enrolled in the public schools during the
preceding year, provided, however, that the
monthly payroll of teachers, supervisors and
principals shall not exceed $4,000 per month
plus $50 additional for every 35 children of
school aye added to the enrolment of the public
schools after June 30, 1911
In providing revenues for the schools, the last
legislature appropriated ia addition to revenues
from the school tax, an amount from the reve-
nues from real and personal property sufficient
to meet the requirements of the aggregate salary
roll and the act distinctly states that this addi-
fional amount is thereby made the first charge
upon such revenues.
From these two quotations of the law 1T is
plainly seen that there can be no deficit in the
school fund.- because there is no school fund ex.
cept the elastic demand upon tax revenues,
which demand is first charge upon such reve-
nues
As the Star bulletin commented editorially
last Saturday, the apparent deficit is only a
bookkeeping condition, the territorial bookkeep-
er having set aside a certain amount for schools
and this appropriation being overdrawn. But
if ii were douhly or triply overdrawn, there
would still be no deficit because the law itself
provides an elastic system to meet varying de
lnand, and the schools, being first charge upon
these revenues must he first locked after, under
the spirit of the law -"
The apparent deficit is due to the fact that
the new school law did not go into effect until
January, 1912, and the existing appropriation
VAS called upon for demands during the six

WHAT WOULD CHRIST DOT

What would Christ do, have We pom
dered,
In the punishment of wrong?
Would He, like uHthinking mortals,
Meet out vengeance harsh and
strong?
Would the Man of peace and sorrows,
If He came to earth again,
For the errors of poor creatures
Cruelty give pain for pain?
Yes, claim Justice, or go further
In the mad, discordant strife,
That the old law, even, of Moses,
Which but took life for life!
No, All! no, the gentle Jesus
Well we know the path He'd take,
He who suffered death and torture
Gladly for the sinners sake!
In this age of swift progression,
In this elevated time,
The common-sense of men should
limit.
The punishment to fit the crime.
Yes, and temper. that with mercy,
AS the Christ himself would co,
Not be seeking blood and torment
And the gailows, even as you!
But We must have full protection
From these coarse, inhumaf1 Doors;
Conquer them through fear and tor
ture!--
| They are brothers, sirs, of yours!
And If truly Christ ye follow,
With naught but love must We re-
form,
Counsel them. protect and guide them,
Whilst yourselves We keep from
harm.
For their good incarcerate them,
And your own protection, say.
Then your duty is: instruct them,
| Lead them in the Christine way!
Not by harshness and by hatred
Can the work of God be done;
| Ye but rouse ten thousand devils
Where before there was but one!
Ye who cry for death and torture,
| Do We play the Christly role?
What is there of human-natufe,
! What of mercy in your soul?
Scant your knowledge of Life's mean
e ing;
| Gods will measuring by your own;
Deeming We are tools of Justice
| God must measure that alone!
Much We talk of Gods forgiveness,
And extol the power of good
In the churches, yet outside them
/ Seek for vengeance and for blood!
Daily, too, we ask forgiveness
/ For the debt to sin We owe
How reconcile the thought of mercy
When no mercy swou1d We show!
Christian men and Christian women,
Self-satisfied, so quick to blame;
Feeling only condemnation
For your brothers sin and shame!
Christians, yes! But like an actor,
Merely playing Christian part
On the stage of Life, whilst evil
Still remains within the heart!
