FAREWELL To THE
PURv|S FAMILY

About thirty members of the Gu
Club enjoyed very delightful beach
party, last Sunday given in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Purvis and their
daughter, Miss Silburn, who are
leaving shortly for the coast. The
affair took place at the McBryde
beach house, a number of the party
enjoying the splendid swimming
afforded there.
A perfectly appointed picnic sup
per was partaken during which sew
eral speeches were called for, and a
gift was presented to the guests of
honor as a token of appreciation for
the interest shown by the Purvis
family in the club and its various
activities since its foundation.
In spite of prevailing showers,
the pyrotechnical display was car
ried out with some measure of sue
cess, bringing a very pleasant out
ing to an end.

MILITARY SPORTS
BOOMING ALONG

Company baseball teams have
three weeks more in which to pre-
pare sfor the coming season. A
short elimination series will begin
OH May 21st and is scheduled TO
be PLAYED off before July 4th., af-
ter which longer drawn out series
will be played, extending through
the summer.
Keen competition is predicted
between the various companies
composing the regiment. The ma
terial available is said to be shap-
ing up much better than had been
expected on account of the old
baseball PLAYERS being so widely
scattered-urder present condi-
tions new discoveries being quite
numerous.
The challenge issued by Co. D
football squad was answered last
Sunday by the second battalion
team, the members of which went
over to Kilauea for the match.
Whereas most of the soccer teams
are recruited from an entire batta-
lion, Co. D has only its own mem-
bership from which to select
eleven. The gsme resulted in an
win for the second battalion men,
lilo. Much credit is due the Kila.
uea company for the enthusiasm
shown in organizing it's team.

SCENIC HIGHWAY
FOR THIS ISLAND?

The following interesting story
appeared in a Honolulu paper which
arrived at Lihue this morning:
In song and story the well-known
expression On the Road to Man
dalay" will he changed to "On the
Road to Hanalei" if the plans of
the Kauai boosters go through.
The people of Kauai are now work
Ing on road over the mountains
from Waimea to Hanalei which
when completed will be called the
Road of Ten Thousand Wonders.
Running along close to the cliffs
which stand like sentinels guarding
the shoreline, and then through val
leys and over the mountains the
road will bring out wonderful scenic
possibilities a $ yet undeveloped.
This section is rich with wonders of
every description, and those who
have made the trip state that when
the road is completed it will be sec
ond to none in the value of scenery.
Ma Pail, which is acknowledged
to be one of the beauty spots of all
Hawaii, will be reached by the new
road, and the roadway will wind
around close to precipices, of which
there are hundreds. The news of
the project was given out yesterday
at a meeting of the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee, and all of the men,
bers were enthusiastic in regard to
the project.
A mine rich in jewels will be
developed" said Albert P. Tay-
lor, when asked regarding the
building of the scenic road. This
scenic section will be startling to
the average tourist, and will with
out doubt prove to be a mine to
Hawaii. Kauai has taken note of
Grav's Elegy and the flower that
was born to blush unseen will in
the future not be wasted on the
desert air" he concluded. 1t is
expected that the road will be COM
pleted some time next year.

A few hemorrhages followed,
but this soon stopped, and at II
o'clock this morning by DR., Wa

certain of recovery.
1t is stated that Jardin had been

late his means of procuring liquor,
whatever they were, had been shut
off, so Friday he drank the whole

O'Clock in the afternoon he got
out his revolver, fired il once to
see that it was in condition and
went into his house. Shortly af-
ter there was the second report of
the pistol, Jardine having shot
himself in the breast close to but
missing the heart.
Neighbors gathered around but
no one would dare into the house.
Finally DR.. Waterhouse came along
and was hailed. He looked in the
window and saw Jardin sitting in
a chair. The wounded man called
out to the doctor to enter. which
he did.
= Jardin was taken to the hospital
in Koloa where his wound receiv-
ed prompt attention
In statement to Deputy Sheriff
Blake the would-be suicide stated
that his sole cause for attempting
his own life was the attitude Of
his friends toward him-constant-
ly abusing hin-for drinking. He
said that his business affairs weIe

at Homesteads and told the Deputy
Sheriff that the proper remittance

A KICK FROM KEKAHA

Editor Garden Island:-
l think it shonld appear in your
honorable paper that the police
force of this island are not seeing
to the cars using DINNERS on their
lights. Each time we are out in
our car we meet three or four
have to stop and let them pass,
their lights are so bright,
Also. on the Kekaha side we
have dozens Of estray horses on
the road-also at Kalaheo. It's a
shame why the heads cant attend
to their simple duties. Some one
ought to see to it; and when they
make law see that it is carried
out.

NATIVE WISDOM
FIFTY YEARS AGO

The following is from the pen
Of Rev. J. NJ. Lydgate:
From the Kuokoa. Hawaiian
newspaper, of Dec. u, 1866, we
translate this wise bit of advice,
which is no less wise now than it
was then.
PLANT COCOANUTS!
Listen my Friends of the Garden
and Field Let us plant cocoa
nuts In the good old days of
the Chiefs, the sea shores were
beautiful with cocoanut groves;
but IN these degenerate DAYS of
their descendants, the groves are
dying, and soon that most beau
tiful Of Hawaiian trees will be a
thing CT the past.
To my fancy, the beauty of
this our own home grown tree, far
outruns any of the foreign trees
the haoles have brought here.
These malihini trees are all very
we'll, but the glory of Hawaii is
the cocoanut.
1t is the anxious desire of this
one Hawaiian, at any rate to see
in my old age the waving groves,
as in the DAYS of my youth, and
more. In those days the land all
belonged to the chiefs. and the
groves belonged to the chiefs.
Now we own our kuleanas, and
every man can plant a few trees
near his little home, and enjoy
them.
Where are you my friends The
cocoanut is valuable thing ! You
can sell them for ten cents apiece,
and a good tree will WELD one
hundred nuts a year, that gives
you $40 a year. Sugar cane isn't
in it with that Besides that the
leaves are valuable for thatch, and
the fibre for rope. The captains
coming up from the south tell us
about this fine rope that they get
there, on those small islands,
made out of cocoauut fibre, and
they want to know what's the
matter with us, that we don't
plant cocoanuts, and make rope.
Sure enough We ought TO be
ashamed! Well, l planted ten
trees when l got nv little kuleana,
and thev are bearing generously
now; but as l realize that these
ten trees can't live forever, l am
going to plant a lot more. Now
let us all do the same thing, and
then, three; four, or FIVE years
from now, we will see, all along
the shore of Hawaii, the feathery
plumes of myriads cocoanuts wav.
ling in the wind.

ROMANCES END IN
'CUP|D'S MORGUE"
Many a Token of Affection Finds
Its Way to the Dead
Letter Office.
Every Year Thousand of Valentines
Fail to Reach Their Destination
Because of CareIessness on
the Part of Those Who
Send Them.

THE failure to dot an 'f' or
cross a It" helps to fill Cupid s
morgue" and often places in
jeopardy the real romance of
many a man and maid who go through
life thinking that the anonymous out
pourings of their hearts were not ap-
preciated, or that the intended recip-
lent lacked intuition. Thousands OF
these votaries of st. Valentine lose
out every fourteenth day of February
and wonder why, little thinking 1t
was only the slip of the pen in ad-
dressing the valentine to the chosen
one that caused it to go astray and
finally reach "Cupid's morgue," as It
is called at the dead letter office at
Washington.
Or it may be the lost valentine was
sent to a Mike post Office" which
sounds like a place for only mysteri-
Gus letters which are sent to little
brownies, pixies and fairies by small
Children, but is in reality just flag
station on the railroad, and not post
office at all. In this case it is left at
the nearest post office, and if the adj
dressee fails to claim it the valentine
then reaches "Cupid's morgue' at
some one of the sixteen division head
quarters of the railway mail service.
When it reaches the morgue, If 1T
bears a written message, every means
is resorted to to find for whom it was
intended, for Uncle Sam has lot of
sentiment, so sometimes by the post
mark and a wonderful astuteness in
unravelling the secret intentions Of
people which characteriZes the clerks
in the dead letter office through whose
hands it passes, the fair one or gallant
is reached. AS real valentines are
never signed-for that is their myster-
ious charm-it takes kindred feeling
and the cleverest sort of detective
work to unravel the mystery of their
destination. In the event of failure,
he who thinks these messengers of
sentiment and love are ruthlessly de-
stroyed or sold at auction in one of
the several dead letter sales which
take place each year is mistaken, for
in the case of valentines, with some
exceptions, what is ones loss is an
others gain, and while trifie belated
reach happy destination where they
are thoroughly appreciated.
On the IA of February all over the
country the mails increase about ten
per cent, and while this is not as
large an increase as at Christmas and
Easter. it is very noticeable, requiring
a longer time to sort and deliver the
valentine matter. The special deliv-
cry and parcel post service help to
facilitate getting out the mails on this
day, and the latter is particularly IN
teresting In the variety and unique
ness of the articles it carries as SOU
venirs of the celebration.
With each year styles change, and
the old-fashioned. large, lace paper val
entines in the embossed envelopes of
the last century, and the fancy cards
in pasteboard boxes which used to be
sent and were such a trial in the
stamping machine, have now given
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-02-11

place to thousands of post cards, while
books, candy, flowers, fruit and other
articles requiring careful wrapping
come by special delivery or in the
parcel post.
There is no live stock of any de-
scription carried by parcel post except
by accident, though there is under dis
cussion at this time plan looking to-
ward an extension of the service in
this direction, that the farmers and
country people generally may have the
benefit of sending their live poultry,
and perhaps game, to customers !.
rect.
However, on last Valentine day a
country swain not being up in parcel
post regulations and wishing to send
the admired one suggestive, live,
honey valentine, sent her pair
of bantam chickens by the parcel post.
The postmaster at the country post
office, not having read carefully his
instructions, or perhaps having fell
low feeling, allowed the tiny cock and
hen to come to Washington, and they
were so cute and the cock crowed so
Justify on his arrival that the parcel
post man delivered the pair to the
intended one. Besides these, a pair
of rabbits came through in the same
way.
Since the rage for picture postcards
began valentines largely take that
form, and as addresses are often de-
fective, and there are no return marks,
these are turned into 'Cupid's morgue"
in the dead letter office, where they
are carefully looked over, sorted out,
put in packages and by the help of a
list furnished by municipal officers,
sent around to the various charitable
institutions and hospitals. On reach
ing this final destination they are dis
tributed among the inmates and pa
tients in the wards, of course the
children coming first.
This is a wise and cheerful disposi-
ton of them that Uncle Sam has
thought out, as they bring sunshine to
many little child and older person,
too, who may have been overlooked on
st. Valentines day. And though the
gift is a bit late, it is enjoyed just as
much, as was illustrated in the case of
an old sailor in one of the hospitals,
who was moved to tears of joy at the
sight of the valentine, explaining to
the nurse that it was the first he had
received in years. - The last one
reached him in foreign port, he ex-
planned, and since then there had been
silence.
Flowers and fruit are distributed in
a similar way after being kept for
reasonable length of time in the large
ice box which was installed in October
in the new city post Office for that
purpose, all perishable goods being
put in this if delivery is belated.
