Pain and Struggle

Many people have fine dreams Of
moral and spiritual beauty which never
become anything more than dreams,
because they will not work them cut in
pain, struggle and self restraint. Here
is an incident from private letter.
zone day lately one of my little mu-
sic pupils. an old fashioned, sweet lit
tie girl about nine years Old, was play
ing scales and octaycs, when she turn
ed to me and said oh, Miss Graham,
my hands are tired
II said: Never mind, Norma; ;pst
try to play them once or twice more.
The longer you practice them the
stronger your hands viii grow, SO that
after awhile you will not feel 1t at all.
"Shc turned the gentle little face
weariedly to me and said, Miss Grn
ham, 1t seems as if everything that
strengthens hurts
Il gave her something else. but |
thought, Yes, my dear little girl. ey-
orything that strengthens hurts"
The child was right. It 81 true IN
music; 1t is true in all art; il Is true
in the making OF character; everything
that strengthens hurts. costs pain and
self denial. We must die TO live. We
must cruelty the flesh that we may
find spiritual gains.J II. Miller in

"REMINISCENCES AND FAREWELL
George B. Sears Writes Parting Let
ter After His Vacation Visit

George 3. Sears Writes Parting Let
ter After His Vacation Visit
Editor of the Banner;
Dear FIiends:-Sixty years ago the
village of Bennington was peopled
with many Ct the grandest characters
in history The old brass knockers
on the doors of these homes, (many
OF which can still be seen on the
front doors in the Nillage), could be
heard for a long distance. When the
door was opened loving and hospit
able welcome was always extended.
The grand men and women who oc-
cupied these homes were typical OF
the beautiful mountains and hills or
this most beautiful region. II was an
impressive sight to the boy or girl
of that period to see gathered at the
cid Walloomsac Hotel representatives,
of these grand men and women, many
of whom could have graced an lmper-
ial Court but who now sleep in the
old church yard on the hill They
were all good friends and neighbors
in the true sense of the word. At
these public gatherings it was as
good as circus to see them after a
generous repast dance the light fan
tastic toe to the music of the fiddle
as it was then called.
At the Old Church on the hill foot
stoves were in common use. live
Goals were supplied from an old box
stove in the yestibule. These were
replenished during the noon recess
in preparation for the afternoon ser
vice This second service was a
very tiresome one for the younsters
and they inwardly thanked God when
the minister reached the siXthly Snd
seventhly in discourse, for they
then knew that their release was
near and that they could soon
breathe naturally once more. The
bees hum among the clover blossoms
and the birds sing as sweetly as in
days Of yore. The stage is still there,
but the actors have passed on and
the dear faces and kindly greetings
are now blessed memory
The few old residents who annual
ly visit these scenes Of their child
hood, and clasp the hands of old

friends and drink anew of Benning-
tons pure air and water, these still
cherish in loving memory the grand
characters that have made this reg
ion historic, and who have by their
sanity lives hequeathel a priceless
heritage TO their posterity. Many Of
the beautiful shade trees on the hill
under which many generations have
enjoyed grateful shelter were plant
ed by loving hands long since folded
in the sleep of death. Their works
do follow them.
The Reaper has been busy during
the years that are passed. Only a
few of the old time residents are
now living, silently and tearfully the
one time occupants OF these old
homes have been borne to the Old
Church yard. where sleep many of
the patriots Of Revolutionary fame.
Some day there will be a grand re-
union there when the Master comes
to awake the sleepers and clothe
them with the garments of lmmOrtali
~ and give them an abundant en-
trance into the eternal peace of
Heaven. AS the mountains are
around about Bennington so may the
Lord be around its people from this
time forth and even for ever more.
Very reluctantly we leave behind us
once more the scenes of our child
hood and the dear friends who have
greeted us so cordially and have so
kindly and generously assisted in
making cur annual visit one con
tinued round of enjoyment.
We take this opportunity of ex
tending to them our hearty apprecia-
ton of their hospitality and friend
ship and trust, God willing, that we
may all meet again next year

Floating War Loans.

The United States was Ia actual fact
the originator of what may be called
the intensive campaign for populaf
subscription to a war loan. Jay Cooke
in 1862, undertaking on commission the
hoatlns Of $l00,000,0O0 United States
bonds on which Wall street had looked
coldly Mt the treasurys terms, started
his 300 subordinates TO canHaSsiug
all towns and villages of the country.
BY the visiting Of every house like
book agents, the cnliSting Of local com.
mittees, the placarding of town halls
and postoniccs and railway stations,
the constructing OF patriotic appeals
through the newspapers and the pro-
motion of public meetings he drew on
reserves Of capital previously unsus-
pectcd and actually elected In the time
prescribed $1J,0O00G0 more subscrip-
tious than the authorized total of the
loan before he could stop the wheels of
his organization,
In short, the United States invented
this method of floating war loans, as
ii invented such other appurtenances
Of war as the armored ship and the
submarine.-Ale Dana Moves in

The scarf is two and a half yards in
length, and twelve inches wide. The
edges are made quite distinctive by
raveling out the material as a finish.
the sides to a depth of half an inch,
and the ends one and a half inches.
The embroidery is done in Shetland
wool, and four or five shades are used
for contrast, and the diamond design
is a substantial pattern that Is easy
to follow.

same scarf worn as a surplice, a belt

novelty.
Many OF our "knitters" have little
odds and ends Of wool left from

use can be found for them in making
dress and sweater trimmings. Vividly
contrasting colors have been worn for
several seasons, and proved very pop

more as q trimming on solid color

those goods imported before the

Local Far East Section is Brimming With
Wealth Of Art Treasures Gathered from
Chino and Japan for Honolulu Stores

Honolulu's own Chinatown is
glowing with brighter and brighter
colors as the Christmas season ap-
proaches. The tourist and the resi-

an appropriate solution for the
ever-recurring question, What
can / buy in the way of new and

gifts?"
In the Chinese, Japanese and
other Oriental shops of Honolulu
treasures of Dai Nippon, the erst-
while Flowery Kingdom, now the
great Oriental Republic; Of India,
the Philippines and Java and Bur
ma and Ceylon are ready for the
eager purchasers.
An excursion through China
town, provided one enters upo1 it
with the proper spirit Of adventure,
is intensely interesting. The var
iety Of gifts is surprising. when
one knows how to shop.
No matter how much time one
passes amid Oriental art treasures,
one never becomes surfeited with
them, for there is a certain air OF
mystery about the products Of the
Far East that keeps ones interest
aflame Perhaps 1t is because the

WAR DECLARED ON
RATS BY u. S. GOVT.

The government at Washington Is
preparing a campaign that should be
effective in killing the rats that are
so destructive. both to lives and prop
erty. A conservative estimate places
the loss of foodstuffs from rats at
over two hundred million dollars an
nually, and in the present scarcity Of
food, this loss must be prevented. The
most efficient way to kill the Rat is
by the use of Stearns' Paste, and
thousands of dollars worth have been
bought by the government Every
