California Doves Arrive
FOrStOcking Maui County

Out of shipment of thirteen pairs
of California doves recently ordered
by the board of supervisors, eleven
pairs were liberated by Supervisor
Fleming this week on the Honolua
ranch. In spite of the long trip the
birds stood the trip well, only four be-
ing lost enroute. 1t is believed that
the doves, which nest in trees, will be
better able to Withstand the depreda-

the game birds which have been
brought to the Islands.

Getting a King.

Many years ago Denmark was in need of a king. The people were wor- ried as the king and queen had no son and they were getting old
 One day as the king and queen were looking out of the window they saw a beautiful ship approaching. On the mast was a strange flag that no one recognized. The king sent some o1 his men down to examine the boat
 They searched in vain but not a per- son was to be found. At last they opened a little door and found them selves in a beautiful chamber. In the middle of the floor was cradle made of gold. and in this cradle was a pret- ty little baby boy. The men took the baby and carried him to the queen,
 The queen took the babe in her arms and said, God has heard the Danish peoples prayer and sent kinga tc Denmark. All the church bells WeE1 rung; and the Danish people ~ thanked God for the beautiful baby boy he sent them.

My Calf Polly.

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would tell you about my black and white calf PoEy.
 Last summer mys father and I were two miles away from home moving. Over in the lot we had two calves that we had turned out to pasture for the summer.
 While my father was at work mow- ing 1 r4.& over to see Polly.
 I knew she was cross, but I wanted to see her so>bad I forgot all about her being cross< When I got over there l saw her coming. I thought she was coming because she was glad to see me; so I went up to her to pet her and she knocked me down, and as soon as I got up she would knock me down again.
 She frightened me so I called for my father. JU5t as I called he threw the machine out of gear, and if it had not been for that he would not have heard me.
 D He jumped off the machine and came running over where I was. Believe me was glad when I saw him coming He drove the calf away and sat un- der an apple tree all the forenoon. I guess if it had not been for my father it would have been goodbye for me.

PAY ATTENTION TO THAT LITTLE
 BALD SPOT

Here's good news at last for men and women whose hair is falling. who are getting bald, or prematurely gray and whose scalps are covered with dandruff that nothing seems to keep away and whose heads itch like mad. Lee & Osgood has secured the local agency for Parisian Sage, a simple, harmless hair treatment that is go certain in it's tonic action on the hair and scalp and so sure of giving the limit of satisfaction, that they sell it with offer of money refunded if 1t does not abolish dandruf, stop itching head, and not only cheek excessive loss of hair but stimulate a new growth.
 Par1sian Sage is delicately per fumed liquid, antiseptic and scientAh- cally prepared, which when massaGed into the scalp goes right down to the hair roots, where most hair worries begin, and furnishes the famished roots with the nourishment that is lacking to make the hair grow better and show more life and vitality.
 Paristan Sage not only stimulates hair growth but beautifies it so that it is a favorite dressing of women who take pride in beautiful hair that can be easily arranged and appear much heavier than it really is. A large bot tie is inexpensive at your favorits drug counter.

 was going to preach on Monday in
 Hanover, N. H., about 20 miles from Strafford.
 Monday came bright and sunny and not very cold. The sky was clear and the snow sparlxled like diamonds. 4 man was hired to take a lot of people in big sled with four horses. There were about 20 people. We started in front of the store al half past nine. 1t was a fine ride. The bells jingled merrily and we laughed and talked.
 When we reached Hanover we ate our lunches in the church and then went to the Dartmouth gymnasium where he was to preach There were l about four thousand there. Such a humming and buzzingi The ladies had seats like circus seats around the edge. but the men had to stand in the middle. When MT. Sunday came. how the Dartmouth boys cheeredi He made g fine speech and kept waving his arms

over to the bedside of her mother who was dead. but Dora did not know.
 It. was New Years morning, and oyer the great city lay the deep snow which was untrodden. but soon to be trampled on by thousands of busy feet. chsarful fires were kindled in many a luxurious home of the rich, and Hap py New Year" was echoed from lip to lip, as if there were no aching hearts, and no cold garrets.
 But there was one who did not for get ,and now. as she sat stpping her fragrant chocolate, she thought of the poor widow. So half an hour later the stairs which led to tho chamber of death creaked to the tread of this lady and her brother. After making the necessary arrangements. they ask ed Dora where she was going to stay
 Three hundred miles to the west ward was the village of D.. Here Dora was to make her new home with Sa- rah Grey. Before Dora came there they received a letter from Uncle Nat lars, which was for the benefit of the child who was to live with them. Her cousins, Alice and Eugenia, went for Dora, and she, seeing the way they were dressed. thought that her aunt must be rich. Arriving in the village Dora thought she would certainly be happy. But not knowing of the money sent for her she worked to pay her board. The aunt and cousins were cruel to her, and the lady and her brother who had seen Dora on New Years Day heard of this cruelty, and decided to adopt her. After a few more months of this hardship Dora the city, and she stayed with them in the city until she died.

 The island has four farms, three cow farms, and one chicken farm, and these farms keep the island well sup piled with milk and butter.
 There are three hotels on the island which are used for the summer peo- pie. They also have a fine golf links on the island at the south end. over looking South Beach.

UNCLE JED.s TALK. TO WIDE
 AWAkES.

Not. many of. the wide-Awakes have thought that the birds have begun to return from the South; but the first hoeks begin to arrive in February, the cedar bird being one of the first ar rivals. --y~rs-sg.rss
 It will not be long before the men who collect the eggs of the hawks and the owls will be driving far out into the wilds and climbing trees to get at the eggs of these birds who hatch their young long before many of the other birds build their nests. These hardy birds are always with us.
 When you see a blue-bird or robin this time of year they have come out from the cedar swamps where they have spent the winter. and as the weather becomes milder they will fly away North to Labrador and New F'oundland, where they will spend the summer, while. the blue birds and robins which nest with us come from Delaware and states South.
 And the golden robin comes always when the apple trees are in bloom and when the first whippoorwill is heard it is time to plant corn; and ih June all the birds will be here having flown some of them 5000 miIes-one such being the swallow.
 And the little red throated hum ming bird has flown clear from Florida to build it's nest and rear it's young and sip the honey from the flowers in your garden; and this little bird flies to the flower fields among the noun tains of the far North a thousand miles beyond the habitations of men on the border of the Arctic ocean.
 Pay attention to the birds and learn how they benefit man and what won derful songs they sing and what amazing distances they fly.
 The birds are great travellers and we can never fully learn all about them.

The Spotted Pawn.

One day the pupils of a country school started for a walk in the woods, hoping to find some flowers. Two of the girls were walking quite a dis tance in front of the other children.
 All at once one of the girls uttered a scream which. of course. brought the rest of the party to the scene. There on the ground lay a baby deer fast asleep. The little creature was brown with yellow spots on it's back and side.
 After all had taken a good look at the little deer, the teacher thought it best to leave the woods, as the mother deer might return and become angry, in tine meantime hurt someone. The little deer lay in the same place all day. ..
 It. is said that the mother deer will leave the little ones and travel all day. in search of food, But they al- wayS leave their young hidden in the leaves as much as possible.
 When the little ones are old enough to run, but not able to jump, they travel with their mother When they come to a wall the mother deer puts her nose underneath the little one, and in so doing helps it over the wall
 When. the deer are small they are spotted, but as they grow older these spots disappear. - ANNIE. L. FARRELL, Age 15 St0nfngton.

The First Automobile.

Oliver Evans. born in 1755. in a small city of Delaware, invented the first automobile.
 In 1894 he constructed at Philadel- phia the first carriage in the world to run by steam on land and gave it the name of "Orukter Amphiboles-" He described it as a machine for cleaning docks, a heavy, mud, flat with a steam engine of five horsepower. He first put wheels to it and propelled it a mile and a half on land and then into the Schuyllkill. A paddle wheel was fixed at the stern and 1t was propelled down the Schuylkill and up the Del aware for sixteen miles, passing ves- sells under full sail.
 Before the curious machine was taken to the river Gas this could go on both land and water) ISvens exhib ited it upon the road encireling Central Square, the present site of Philadel- phia's city hall, then occupied by the distributing station of the Schuylkill water works, the first water system ever built in the country.

emergency call for nursing service in this state?
 Would you volunteer for an eiSsr- gency call for nursing service outside this state?
 Give the name and permanent ad- dress of nearest relative"
 The following statement conosrninE the enrolment of nurses was given out yesterday by the state headquarters ol the Connecticut bureau of military census:
 'This census is designed in no way to interfere with the work of the Red Cross. The governor has the very highest appreciation of the value Of Cross.
 "IIe has been instructed, however to make a census of the resources Of tldia state which might be valuable in tinae of war. One of the most valuable Of these resources is to make aVatla.1le instantly for work in any part of this state the services of the trained nurses of Connecticut.
 "The idea of this census ls to make available lists of trained nurses tp- gether with their telephone Calls and other such valuable information In such a relRtion to the various centerE of this state that the municipal head of each center may have in his hands lists of nurses arranged by zones ra- diating from this cig so that should any disaster such as the explosion of factory, occur he could at onco without delay and without confusion, cause his assistants to get into imne- diate touch with every trained nt1rl8 who was available"
 The fact that the nurses of the atets are being included in this census in dicates how thoroughly the commit tee of special assistants to the govern or for the military census is going Into this great preparedness proposition.
