discontinue of the little party, compelled to wait
another fifteen minutes for car.
Technically, the crew Of the car was right in
not stopping on the wrong corner, but in reality
both conductor and motorman ought be sum-
moned before the superintendent and given
drastic calling down." We believe the street car
company does not believe in practices OF this
kind. The rule pertaining to stopping on street
corners is not an ironclad and irrevocable one
that cannot be violated without loss of job. We
believe the company encourages the use of COM
mon sense by it's employees in the execution of all
the rules.
Had the motorman stopped on the wrong cor
ner, traffic would not have been blocked life and
limb of the passengers would not have been
jeopardized, the efficiency of the service would
not have been impaired It seems to us that the
motorman and conductor belong to that class Of
narrow-minded persons who cannot see farther
than the end of their noses. Neither the conduc-
tor nor the motorman will advance much farther
than the jobs they are trying to hold down now.

how they can control the markets of the world,

much of kindness, benevolence and charity is
found there.

the little boy could tell them before
night came.
For they said, when it is dark
we will kill him." But they were very
polite, indeed, until they heard ali that
he had to tell, and when night came
they asked him where he was going
to sleep.
In the little puhala bush," he said.
But when it was very dark he climbed
up in the big puhala bush to hear
what the ghosts would be saying. In
stead of talking over what they were
going to do with him, they crep to the
little puhala bush and threw stones
into it. Then, thinking that they had
killed the little boy from Maui, they

Now Those Weeds

j. O. Rankin of the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station hands down good bits OF ad-
vice to the farmers in the bulletins he issues
weekly. Weeds are the text Of little sermon
he breaches in a bulletin that was received the
other day. He asks:
'Have you moved those weeds? Then your
farm is worth more and you are better neigh
Dor and better citizen than if you hadn't. Ev-
eryone thinks more Of the farmer and farm # he
sees the weeds neatly moved as he drives along
a welldragged road. AS he passes the end OF the
line fence he sees fence row, not weed row,
and the same is true of the cross fence.
Does this describe your farm? Then rabbit
shooting may not be so good on it next winter,
but buyers will offer you more an acre on it
because they know it will take less work to make
crops on it for number of years than if all that
weed seed had not been harvested. If you still
have that weed crop to harvest, you will have to
hurry. Weed seed is getting nearer ripe every
day. The hot dry weather has hurried ripening
instead of belating it. Bur pulling time is COM
ing and the horse weeds in the fence rows are
getting harder for the mower or scythe to ham
de- but there is some consolation in the thought
that there is still time to do great deal OF good
and that too early moving might have let the
weeds come up and make another crop of seed.'

PART I.

Long, long ago, before the white
people knew much about the Hawaiian
Islands and before any of them went
to live there, little boy lived on the
island Of Maui who gave his father
and mother, and indeed everyone who
knew him, great deal of trouble.
On the whole, he was not such a
very bad little boy, but he had one
dreadful fault. He would pull up all
the young trees he possibly could.
And you know in Hawaii all sorts of
fruit upon which the people depend for
food grows on the trees, and when the
sun is very hot people are grateful for
the shade Of the tall palms and man.

But no sooner would this boy see
that one of his neighbors had a new
tree nicely rooted than some moon.
light night he would go stealing out,
and next morning the owner would
wake up to see his poor tree lying on
ground beside the hole in which it had
been planted.

bad business OF tree pulling would
have to end; he would have to send
his son away from Maui.
Just across from this village there
was another island called lanai. 1t
was a barren island, where few people
lived, for it was hard to get enough
water to drink. And all the Hawaiians
believed, because people could not live
there. that ghosts or "akoowas" did.
They We're very much afraid of these
ghosts, so did not often go to lanai,
and never when they could help it,
But they rowed the little boy very
near to the shore and babe him swim

IF the ghosts do not get you" they
said, land you are so fortunate as to
kill all of them, if you build fire at
night on high hill we will see it and
will come for you, for we will know by
that that you are very sorry and want
to come back to Maui and will pull up
no more trees"
