Farm as a DisclpIinarian.

Unceasingly we farmers are made to realize that task delayed is a task rendered increasingly difficult Build the fence today; month from now the post hole will cost you twice as much. Sow the alfalfa today. not another day in the season can 1t be sown with success. Pick up that strand of barbed wire today; tomor- row your horse will be maimed by it. So fall, day by day. demonstrations of the needfulness of doing it now,
 until the desire to be prompt, to snatch the opportunity, becomes al. most an obsession. Great as is the demand in the city for promptness, it is not so unpitying as the country demand because in the city the de mand comes largely through people, and people are not so exigent as things. People will receive excuses provide substitutes, alter require ments. Things will not; things, there fore. are more unmercifully exigent than human masters. Disciplined un- der such masters, 1t seems to me the country-bred must have greater in grained power to do the hard thing and "do it now" than the city-bred.- Arthur NJ. Judy, in the Atlantic.

Matter of Superstitlon.

A third marriage is considered un- lucky in certain parts of India. A fourth marriage is not. So when a man wishes to become benedict after two previous trials and still evade superstition he eyokes very clever scheme. MT. Man of India goes through ceremony with bird or animal or flower as the bride, in or der that his next wife will be the fourth and not the third venture. Though this may sound ridiculous to many of our American people is it any more so than the lengths to which persons in this country will go to avoid the number 13 or "unlucky
 days" ard other household bogies?

Spraying a Danger to Birds.

It has been commonly reported that arsenical spraying of trees in New England in order to eliminate the gypsy moth has proved fatal to many birds, but, according to pr. L. o. Howard, chief of the United States bu- reau of entomology, investigations fail to show any such result. The ab- sence of birds from the regions where spraying has been practiced can be explained by the fact that the spray ing causes a scarcity of insect food, and the birds are obliged to seek this elsewhere.

Hje Eavorite Hymn.

A lady with an unusually sweet voice is connected with a charitable organ ization and often sings at funerals In the tenements.

Count Leo Tolstoi Wrote
Much Concerning His Fa-
vorite Heroine, Anna Ka-
renina, Whom He Declar-
ed to be a Typical Modern
Product.

Count Leo Tolstoi wrote many
famous books, but of them all his
favOrite was Anna Karenina
He frequently declared that ht
had put the work of ten years
into this wonderful novel. which
enjoys worldwide fame Az
the book is picturized for William
Fox, president of The Fox Film
Corporation, IL forms al even
more powerful arraignment OF
modern society than did the orig
inal work With Betty NanseD,
the famed tragedienne, in the title
role, and the standard of excel
lence of the William Fox produc-
tions even surpassed, II actually
outdoes anything yet seen upon
the screen.
TOlstoi will be ever remembered
as the implacable enemy of hypoc
risy and sham. He sternly set
his face against the opinion of the
world, and wrote with pen dip
ped in acid, of conditions as he
knew they existed. Criticism
ragged about him, but it never Iuf
fed him for u moment. He still
held inflexibly TO his creed that a
great master must pen the truth
untlIncbingly, regardless of the
oonst quences. In sense, Tol.
stol was martyr to his beliefs,
for his books we're ordered burn
ed by the Ozar of Russia, and he,
himself. was for time In danger
of Siberia. But the estimation in
which the world held TolstOi held
the Czar's hand. Even that auto
crat dared not exile an author
who was not a Russian writer,
but world writer. SO Tolstoi's
burning screeds continued to pour
forth, and the earth listened. OF
Anna Karenlna, Tolstoi said:
81 have done the best could
do IN this book. 1t is my life
blood aud my masterpiece. l can
never equal it. As l penDed it,
flames leaped before me. 1 saw
Anna and her cruel crucifixlon
upon the cross of man made law,
and | wrote white heat. What
ever Anna Karenina may be, she
is at least true. She Is real, A
type Of woman who must suffer
everlastiDgly for her nature; for
which, after all, she was not to
blame. And this is Anna--a
woman who suffered grievously
through many viscissitudes; but
in the end yielded to inevitable
fate 1t may be sombre but it Is
at least life,--real, raw life, and
not pretty sentimentalities swee.

SUGGESTIONS ON
THE SELECTION
or A BREED.

A knowledge of the breeds OF
poultry will come from
close observation at the poul.
try shows and by a study OF
current literature. Remember that
there is no one breed which is bet.
ter than the rest under all condi
tions. Where one desires to pro.
duce white sbelled eggs, regard
less of meat qualities, selection
may be made from the many vari
eties OF Leghorns, MiDorcas, Cam
pines, etc. If the chief desire is
for large, well tlesbed, market
fowls, there are the Brahmas,
Landshans, COcbins, Dorkings Or
Cornish Indians to choose from.
The general farm poultry raiser
desires combination Of profita
ble egg production and good sized
carcasses for producing table
poultry. To fill these require.
ments we have numerous varie.
ties of Plymouth Rocks. Wyan.
dottes, Rhode Island Reds, Back
eyes, OrpiDgtons, etc.
First, determine whether an
egg breed, a meat breed or a gen.
eral purpose breed is desired.
Then study the breeds under that
classification and see which VIII
most nearly ill the requirements
of your market and your local
conditions For instance, con.
slider such phases as the follow.
ing:
Does your market want white
or brown eggs! The Ltghorns
produce white eggs and the Ply m.
outh Rock brown.
Does the market want yellow
skinned or white-skiDned car.
cassesi The Wyandottes have a
yellow skin and the Orpingstons a
white skin.
Are the birds to be kept closely
confined or are they to range wide
lyi The Brabmas are sluggish, poor
rangers, and are easily confined;
while the Leghorns are active,
good rangers, and do best when al
lowed practically unlimited range.

Chronic PrOwler Gets
Six Months Sentence

John Garcia-not Sheriff Crowell's
good-loolting young assistant, but
middle aged Porto Rican-was senten-
ced to six months in Jail for being un-
lawfully on the premises of Domingo
Coelho about midnight last Tuesday
The victim is an old offender, having
but recently served a years impris-
onment for larceny.
COelho was aroused on the night in
question by some one trying to open
the door of his house. Grabbing his
revolver he sailed forth in time to see
an intruder beating it across lots. Al
though he emptied his gun at the fee
N form, the trespasser escaped. Dep
SIF Sheriff Ferreira, next day discov-
cred pair of shoes IN the weeds near
the Coelho home, which were indenti-
fed as belonging to Garcia, and his
guilt was pretty firmly established.
The police believe that Garcia is
the "peeping Tom" who frightened
the inmates in Mrs. Weddick's home
recently, and possibly the same per-
son who got away with the contents
of Brother Franks larder.

Chiinanlan is
Held For An
Awful Crime
Little 9.Year Old Victim in Serious
Condition in Paia HospitaI.-Threats
Kept ChiId's Lips Closed For Over
a Month.

Disease-infected and seriously ill.,
little Maria All Chew, nine years old,
lies in the Paia hospital. In the Ma
kawao Jail is held All Jack, on charge
of being responsible for the child's ter
rible plight. If the Chinaman is found
guilty of the crime it is possible that
he may answer for it with his life.
All Jack is a Chinese who was liv-
ing the upper Paia plantation camp
In an adjoining tenement lived also
All Chew with his little daughter
Maria, whose mother was a Porto Ri
can, and her brother, a boy aged IL.
Some time during the holidays, ac-
cording to the girls story, All Jack
committed his dastardly assault upon
her during the absence of the other
members of the family, and by threats
prevented her from telling of the oc-
currence until the loathsome disease
he had communicated to her, made
further concealment impossible.
Deputy County Attorney Vincent
and Sheriff Crowell have investigated
the matter, and All Jack will be given
a hearing in the Makawao district
court the first of the week.
