not been made public. Members of the
committee refused to give out the
names of persons who would be asked
to testify against the judge, though it

A LETTER FROM HER.

It's a mighty dreary living when the
letter doesn't come,
When you're longing so to have it that
your heart is getting numb,
When you've waited, and you've wait
ed, and you want it awful bad,
When the sunshine doesn't cheer you,
even laughter isn't glad.
It's a mighty comfy" feeling when the
letter comes at last,
When you linger DER the reading,
quite forgetting all the past.
Yes, of course I'm sorter loony, or
wouldn't care so much,
But the letter from the lady has
mighty soothing touch.
You may call it sentimental, you may
smile, and even sheer,
Yes, | know, you frozen fossil, that
you think yourself seer,
But you'd give a million dollars for
letter like O this,
And enough of life left in you SOS TO
feel the surging bliss
That will run all through a fellow
when the letter comes at last
From the lady-love that loves him and
that's caught him tight and fast

Converts of Rev. Mr.. Mason
Are Still Digging for Water
on Island of Lanai

Notwithstanding his scientific eX-
communication by United States hy-
drographcrS. the Rev. Mr. Mason of
New Zealand has not lost particle of
the confidence of those that enlisted
his services as a diNineT OF hidden wa
ter in these islands. They are follow

dig On Oahu just where he has sensed
water.
The indications are increasing" "
said Cecil Brown this morning when
asked for the latest news from the
well on Lanai Mr. Mason advised
US before leaving by all means not to
stop digging. He thought water would
be found below the rock where we are
now blasting.
1T is very important to get water
at that elevation, because whenever it
is struck there pumping will be
stopped The elevation there is 1,20O
feet above sea level"

Mr. Won Holt stated that he himself
