Dear "BEACoN':

Dear BEACON:
The following compost
tion by Maud Yates, a pupil of the
school at Compton, is sub-written
to the readers of the BEACON, just
as it was written and without any
correction or emendation on the
part of the child's teacher. The
sentiment, spelling, and punctuation
of the piece reflect credit alike on
pupil and teacher.
Arbor Day.
''IT's origin AND MEANING"
When our Pilgrim Fathers first
landed in the country they were con-
fronted by a wilderness which they
found it necessary to conquer in Or
der to have space for dwellings and
crops. For years this destruction
went on, and it was not until very
recent that the people began to rea-
lize that without styict measures
we would soon become a nation
without forests. The honor of be-
ing the originator of Arbor Day be-
longs to the Hon. J. Sterling Nor
gan, the Governor of Nebraska.
In the prairie State OF Nebraska:
One happy April morn,
On o fair day In Spring.tim
Our "Arbor Day" was born.
1t was at the annual meeting of
the Nebraska State Board of Agri-
culture, held in Nebraska, January
1879, that good Morton offered a
resolution setting apart a day in
April to be devoted to tree planting
"The Prairtes were green and graay,
Like heantiiul blliowy seas.
But the people In vain were longing
For q sight OF the leafy trees.
Since the hrst observance of Ar
borDay the people of Nebraska have
planted millions of trees, and former
treeless wastes are covered with
small forests and beautiful groves.
The object of Arbor Day is to
cause trees and shrubs to be planted
on highways and public grounds,
and 10 put in the childrens mind a
sentiment against the awful waste
that has been going on for years
in our forest regions. The idea
met with public approval and each
State and Territory of the Union
now observes Arbor Day.
AxA uysaa
Oh! did he understand;
That the beautiful plan be started,
Would spread DER all the land"
TIL In many state OF the Union.
Myriad trees would spring:
In beautiful shining splendoF,
His honoe and praise to sing.
Many years ago the people only
recognized the money value of the
trees. Now they are beginning te
see the value that trees have in His
tory and in Art, as Peter Stuyves.

Now listen from the forest

PUNAHOU OPERA
Will BE BIG
Event

But two days are now left before
the first presentation of the light
opera, THE Chimes of Normandy.
which is to be given in sne Charles R.
Bishop Hall. Punahou, by the conf
bined Glee and Dramatic clubs OF Oahu
College. Two presentations of the
opera will be given, the first Friday
night and the second Saturday night
Many weeks have been spent in prepa-
ration for these two nights and the
opera is certain to be all that is ex-
pected of tia great success.
The idea of an opera was first sug-
gested to the Glee and Dramatic clubs
when they met the first OF the year
to decide upon the annual concert
which it has been the custom OF the
Glee Club students to give each year.
The Dramatic Club, either separately
or in conjunction with the Glee Club.
has given an entertainment. usually a
play. which together with the concert
by the Glee Club, composed their pub
lie work for the year. This custom
has been carried out at Punahou for
years and the oldest alumni members
can tell of the Glee Club concerts OF
their day. This year, however, 1t was
proposed to combine the Glee and Drl-
matte clubs and present some enter
tainment in which both clubs might
take an active part. An opera was
the form of entertainment suggested
and THE Chimes of Normandy. was
chosen as the one best suited to the
students.
The scene of the opera is laid in
Normandy during the reign OF Louis
XIV. The costumes are all Louis NV
and are one of the attractive features
of the opera. A corps of dressmakers
has been employed in making 60 cos
tunes for the choruses and principles.
A special suit of armor, which plays
an important part in the opera, has
been prepared and is fine piece OF
workmanship. No pains or expense
has been spared in preparation for
'sThe Chimes of Normandy and all
indications point towards. great sue.
cess.
Rehearsals have been conducted un-
der the supervision of Miss Helen
Latham, who takes an important part
In the opera Miss Latham has charge
of the music department of the col
lege and has had much experience IN
this work. Miss Louise Churchill has
the leading female role in the opera
and Allan Renton has the leading
male role. Both Miss Churchill and
Allan Renton have wonderful voices
which go extremely well together.
Each part in the opera is well taken.
Tickets to The Chimes OF Nor

Music Company's store.

Rodrigues admitted this morning
that he received dollar in coin and

cd to have handed him the money,
while he confessed to have found the
revolver lying on a table. As the
others were unable to operate the gun
it was turned over to Rodrigues.
Confronted with the empty and
blood-stained cash drawer and other
boxes and receptacles taken from the

raid upon the store was found in the

than three dollars.
Chief McDuffie failed to draw from

WOMAN
SEEKS MAN TO WHOM
SHE LOANED MONEY

Asking the government to assist her
in locating W. f. Turner who, she
says. borrowed 800 from her more
than a year ago and failed to repay it,
Mrs. Mary Riley of Huntington, Cal,
has written a letter which came to
Governor Frear and which has been
turned over to the attorney general
for investigation.
Mrs. Riley says Turner told her last
September he was coming to Honolulu
to accept an appointment as govern
ment painter and paperhanger. The
attorney general so far has been I'M
able to locate any such position Or
name or. the territorial payroll.
Mrs. Riley frankly volunteers the
information also that she loaned the
money to Turner at rate of ? per
cent a month. 1t is darkly hinted this
might he illegal. coming under the law
of usury-provided she got the money.
