Where only beast may thrive

SONG: THE SEAS DAUGHTER


BY Margaret Widdemer.
TRIED to be sad for the SORROWS of my true love,
Il Who said was not true nor kind,
But there only came comber of the wild green
water
And lifted through my mind
lay down to sleep and go dreaming of my true
love,
Who gave me all his heart and will,
But my only dream was of the wild green water
That whispered at my SILL
bowed my head to go quietly and Silly
And meekly as good maid should
But my feet go springing like the wild green water
That echoes in my blood. .
Oh, can wait and be faithful to my true love,
Who is wearying and fond and fam
must lie out in the of the wild green water
That loves me and is gone again.

A PRAYER AT THE END OF SPRING
By David Morton.
IF have been too sombre Lord,
For daffodils that light the Spring;
If / was all too dull to see
The wiser worship that they bring,
Lord, God of laughter and delight
Remember not this thing.
If have walked in April ways,
Too solemn and too grave, alas,
For all Thy mirthful, careless leaves,
Thy gay and gallaEt-hearted grass,
Lord, stay me till learn to heed
Thy laughter where pass.
And when there comes another Spring
Of tulips rising from the earth,
If would 60 too darby by
To sober things of lesser worth,
Lord, halt me where those pulpits are,
To hear Thee preaching mirth.

A., s, WILCOX PASSES AWAY
LOSS TO WHOLE TERRITORY

He had very keen sense of
humor, and a ready wit, of a caus
tic, pungent kind, that however
left behind it as a rule no sting of
bitterness.
He won the confidence and re.
gard of his employees, down to the
humblest man on the plantation,
to remarkable degree; and es-
pecially the Hawaiians banked on
"Alopeka" as their friend with a
childish confidence that was very
touching. Many substantial
evidence of kindness went to
them that no one knew anything
about.
In quiet and unassuming, yet
very emphatic way, he stood for
practical righteousness and the
things that make for honor and
integrity. He was always ready
to stand behind any public-spir-
tied move in any direction.
He will be very seriously miss
ed by nearly every good cause, as
well as by host of friends and
beneficiaries.

Old Kamaaina Dies

At the close of the baseball
game at WaipOuli, on the Fourth,
wireless message was received
by Allan Mcguire one of the Pu-
nahOu team conveying the news
of the death of his father j. j.
Mcguire of Waimea, Kauai.
He left Waimea some three or
four weeks ago and went to Ho-
nOlulu to take treatment for his
throat. 1t was finally found that
operation was necessary, and as
the result of this operation he
succumbed.
Mcguire was a kamaaina on
the Islands having been here up
wards of thirty years, and having
served in various capacities all
over the group. He was boiler
maker by trade and has done a
good deal of that sort of work.
For upwards of a year he had
been manager of the Waimea end
of the Lihue Ice and Soda bust
ness.
He was richly endowed with
the characteristic qualities of a
likable Irishman. He had a
keen sense of humOr and very
ready tongue in dispensing the
same. With this ready wit went
a genial disposition which made
him popular with men, and to
crown his Irish qualifications he
was generous to a fault.

Mr.. King came to the Islands
away back in 1873 as a young
man. In the old days while Wal

manager. Later he came to Kau-
al and was one of the independent
planters at Kapaa for the Makee

creditable to even a sandlot league

excellent hitting, landing on the
ball four times during the game for
two singles, two bagger, and one
homer. Each of his hits tailed Il
run for Punahou.
All Kauai started off in the first

The first and only defeat for the

was registered by the fighting team
from Lihue who humbled the coll
ege boys to the tune of s to 3 on toe
Eleele ball park last Sunday NOR
ming.
Although the l.ihue team scored
a run in the first on Ubunn Hee's
home run, the Lihue boys did not
maintain the lead long, as a syste-
matte hitting on the part of Puma
hou brought then to the lead. Things
looked pretty black for the Lihue
nine when the team went to pieces
in the fifth after an error by the
second baseman. For awhile the
team went up in the air allowing
three runs to come in for Punahou.
A change of pitchers in the sixth
saved the day for Lihue. NJ. Perreira
was in excellent folm holding the
Punahou team for the remainder of
the game. A batting rally in the
lucky seventh, tailed four runs for
Lihue, giving the Kauai boys the
lead, while two more runs registered
in the second half of the eighth
