PRINCESS SPRING.

There was once a beautiful queen
whose name was Spring. and she ruled
over tho Gprinstime. and her little
daughter. Princess Spring, was very
much like her.
Queen Spring had ruled for twenty
years, and now an old witch told her
that she must give her rule to Prin-
Queen Spring knew that she must
do so.
When spring came. tho queen said:
Come, my daughter, and be sure that
you watch how rule so you may rule
as we'll, for witch has put spell on
me that I should leave thee TO rule,
but at the end OF every two years, I
will come TO thee. BE brave my
daughter. and fear not. for God is with
thee always"
Princess Spring was very sorry but
said nothing. and at last the time came
for her TO depart. and bidding her last
farewell. she fell asleep and did not
awake until spring came and her rule
was to begin.
She ruled even better than her moth
err. and she loved the flowers. the birds
and all tho trees.
AT last the two years came. and Prin-
cess Spring was delighted TO see her
mother.
One day as Princess Spring was rul-
! ing she saw n handsome young prince
They fell In lova with each other and
| were married
Queen Spring came again. and said
| that the witch had died. Princess
! Spring now had n beautiful daughter
and had Queen Spring TO share the
happiness of Prince Spring, Princess
| Spring and their daughter.

SPRING.
Composed b,

Spring is near, and never fear
For birds and flowers are sincere:
They sing and welcome everything
Even the widest storm and rain.
The rivers rush along
Some are quiet and others strong
Some arc black and some are clear
For God made them. and so never fear
some arc shallow. some are deep,
And In them living creatures sleep.
The air is cool and blissfuI sweet,
The dearest rose soon will meet.
She is maiden gay and fair,
With voice so sweet and rare:
The sign of Spring upon her cheeks.
with words to me of cheer she c-reets.

SPRING.

When the flowers begin TO bloom,
And the birds begin to sing.
VOW hear the cry everywhere, 1t is
spring.
When the children come from school.
And find themselves beside Il pool
They see the birds play In the trees,
Taking In the swift spring breeze
Then the boys so camping out.
And call themselves great Boy Scouts
They throw marbles In ring.
And hollcr out, "TIurrah for spring"
See the rabbits tip around.
Trying TO avoid approaching hound
To sec the ttmid little thing
Always brings the news OF spring
Then the children go for flowers.
But arc caught ia evening showers
Gathering UP the little things
That reminds US more of spring
When the buds begin TO smell
And the roses sweet 10 smell,
When tho vines begin to grow
Then again is spring You know.

tional tomorrow night in a Iaughable
film entitled, Mabel at the Wheel.
]. Rufus Wallingford also comes
again, in the eighth episode of that
delightful rogue series, the new story
involving "A Transaction in Summer
Boarders." ..
An interesting feature of this serial
is that each episode is complete,
knowledge of the plot of those which
have gone before is not necessary
for thorough understanding and en-.
joyment of the one at hand
The Millionaire Baby" never was
lost and never was stolen. Thus ends
in unexpected manner the big SIX part
mystery drama OF. that name, which
will be shown for the last time at the
National theater this evening. Those
who have read Anna Katherine
Green's story. from which the photo
play is taken, know its ending but
for all others the plot is maze OF
mystery from beginning to end.
Dramatic critics regard the nara.
tive as one of the best of its kind
ever made into motion pictures. Every
moment Of its presence on the screen
is filled with interesting action; the
scenes are good and the dramatic
roles are handled with more than or
binary cleverness by the all-star cast,

Collins Opens
Fight FOR ROAD
BONDS in TALK
City Engineer Tells Engineer
ing Association of Homo
tuIu'S Needs

The first gun in the fight for bond
issue to provide for better roads was
fired by City Engineer George NJ. Col
Inns in an address before the Hawaiian
Engineering Association at its meeting
in the Library of Hawaii last night.
Collins opened with only preliminary
skirmish, for he had no instructions
from the mayor and spoke of the nee
essity for bond issue only from the
standpoint of the city engineer.
Il believe that bond issue for road
construction should be made, not ne
cessarily to the city's limit, but suffi-
ciently large to build permanent belt
road, with new permanent road
around Waimanalo and Koko Head
and another permanent road for the
Waianae district" he declared. The
greater profits which the farmers in
this district could make win justify
the expenditure"
Help Develop Land.
1T is unnecessary for me to point
out the increased benefits which will
be gained upon the completion of
permanent road system which will
unite Honolulu and the country dis
tricts, and which will be the incentive
to greater development Of lands now
uncultivated If permanent roads are
built future generations will use them
and therefore the system which will
make the future assist the present is
the scheme which seems to sme most
practical
Collins spoke at length upon the his
tory of concrete road making, and the
changes in specifications. Lusitana
street specifications are practically
the standard specifications of the Am
erican Concrete Institute, he stated.
Sub-drainage cane in for a share OF
his attention, also.
First he stated that water is the
greatest enemy which road has, and
where underground wateriis liable to
be present it Is absolutely necessary
to provide sub-drainage. After wan.
Gdering from the subject for minute
or so he came back and said that on
Kalakaua avenue there Is water with
in one or two feet of 1.-THE pavement
surface at times. and the suh,base Of
the read is more or less saturated all
the time.
Might investigate?
Then ne automatically suggested:
that it might be well If the associai
ton investigated the necessity for SUBJ
drainage on Kalakaua avenue. The
supervisors have declared sub-drain7
age on Kalakaua avenue unnecessary,
without consulting Collins.
Four new members, C. Budde. Fred
Ohrt. r. E. Hughes and Collins, were
elected to membership in the associa,
ition last night Carl Andrews presids
