Duties Of Life.

Below we publish paper prepared
and read by Bro. Walker Bryant in
response to subject assigned him as
leader of the prayer meeting in the
Columbia Baptist church on the 5th
of this month. 1t seemed too good
not to give it to others so we insisted
that it should be published and Mr..
Bryant reluctantly consented. 1t is
full CT gems ana merits the closest
reading.
No man has to say he can do moth
ing for the benefit of mankind, who
are less benefited by ambitious pro-
jectS then by the fultilment of each
mans proper duties. BY doing the
proper duty in the proper place, a
man may make the world his debtor.
The results of patient continuance in
well doing. are never to be measured
blythe weakness of the instrument,
but by the omnipotence of Him who
blesSeth the sincere efforts of obedient
faith, alike in the Prince and in the
Cottager.
No mans spirit is ever hurt by doing
his duty, on the contrary, one good
action, one temptation resisted and
overcome, one sacrifice for duties or
instinct, purely for conscience sake,
will prove cordial for weak and low
spirits, far beyond what either in
diligence or diversion, or company can
do for them.
There is no evil that we can not free
or fly from, but the consciousness of
duty disregardS, A sense of duty
persues us ever. IL is cmnipotent
like the Deity If we, take to our
selves the wings of the morning and
dwell in the uttermoSt parts of the
earth: duty performed or duty violat-
ed is with US, for our happiness or our
misery. In the darkness as in the
lightour obligations are with US. We
cannot escape their power nor fly their
presence. They are with US in this
life, will be with US at the close; and
in that scene : of inconceiveabIe
solemnity which yet lies further on
ward, we shall still find ourselves sur
rounded by the Consciousness Of duty
to pain US whenever it has been violat-
ed. and to console us so far as God
may have given US grace to perform
it.
There is nothing more beautiful
than the calm and resolute progress
Of an earnest spirit. The triumph O
genius may be more dazzling; tn,
chances of good fortune may be NOR
exciting, but neither are so interest

The same old story "Fools rush in

there is a question? so let's strike
happy medium, on one subject am
certainly sane; in reference to bur-
dening Adair County with Bonded

fact or for other purposes in particn-
lar.

what the Bonds sold for, this aside
from the other leakages that Bond

so aside from the sanity of the situa-

are against a Bonded Indebtedness
1 am not fully advised as to Public
sentiment whether it be for or against
Bonds what ever that may be its GER
tainly dangerous proposition.
We are all fully persuaded that we
need good Roads, we have a special
road tax in the County at present
that brings US in some $500, with ad

mdy'give us, every man in Adail

Ole age as it comes in the orderly
process of nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. 1t stands for expert
ence, knowledge, wisdom, counsel.
That is old age as it should he, but old
age as it often is means poor digestion
torpid bowels, sluggish liver and a
general feeling of i'll health, despond-
ency and misery. This in almost ev-
cry instance is wholly necessary.

OF Steamers

Two very welcome changes are
announced by the Inter-Island
Steamship Company. The sailing
hour oil the Claudine from Kahu-
lui, has been changed from five
O'Clock oil Saturday afternoon, to
four O'Clock. The steamer will al
so go direct to Honolulu, and will
reach the capital at about eleven
O'Clock at night.
The Mauna Kea is now scheduled
to sail from Honolulu at three
O'Clock on Saturday afternoons.
She will reach Lahaina at a reason
able hour, and then continue on
her way to Hilo.
Since the removal of the Clau-
dine has caused hardship to people
with goods to ship to Hilo from
Kahului, the Inter-Island people
aie said to be going to put one of
tn5iI mall steamers on a run that
will take in Kahului and Hilo.

RanChman
Is Injured

Louis Won Tempsky, the well
known ranch manager, met with a
rather serious accident while play
ing polo at MakaWao last Saturday.
He tore the muscles of his right
arm, and is now obliged to carry
the member in a sling. No serious
results are anticipated, but the in
jury is a very painful one that will
take months to cure.
The accident happened during a
practice game, and was caused
through Mr.. Won Tempsky's NAL
let getting tangled up among the
hoofs of his mount. The player
held on to his stick and there was
a terrific strain for half a minute.
Then the muscles gave way, and
the damage was done.
All the friends of the genial
manager hope to see him his own
old self in the near future.

Giant Powder
Mains Boy
Right Hand OF Lad Is Blown Off
When He Makes "Firecracker"
OF Dynamite.

Another cripple has been added
to the list and, as is usual, the
blame can be laid ON the illegal use
of giant powder" The victim is
n lad of thirteen years, and his
right hand has been blown off. At
least, the giant powder shattered
the hand SO much that the doctors
had to amputate at the wrist. The
youth, whose name is Manuel Bo-
thello, resides at Makawao.
1t appears thct the lad obtained
a stick of dynamite somewhere or
another and, thinking that it would
make fine fire cracker, placed it,
end up, in the ground. He then
proceeded to light fuse and then
the inevitable happened. The lad
was rendered unconscious by the
shock, and had a narrow escape
from bleeding to death. He was
conveyed to the hospital where the
doctors at once operated ON him.
Sheriff Crowell, who is investi-
eating the accident, is curious to
learn where the lad obtained the
dangerous explosive. There is a
rumor going the rounds that the
County storehouse at Makawao has
been broken into, and that many
articles, including some sticks of
giant powder, are missing.
