 The local man is quoted as accurate y as possible, frdm memory, to show he contrast between his hesitating opinion and MT. Edison's decided one. The latter goes on to say:
 Don't call it panic. It is nothing but a period of depres- sion, and nothing to worry over, provided we are set ourselves resolutely to the task of over coming it. These periods of de- pressiOn comes in recurring cycles. They are nothing new. The point to be driven home is that the country always recovers from them and goes forward with greater strides than ever before, We will get over this one, too. The tide already has begun to turn. Times are getting better now, slowly, of course, but surely, These periods of depression are caused by a faulty adjustment of our economic machine, or by it being thrown out of gear by some unusual force, such as war.

extant show that he and his printing appar-
atus left Boston, on the brig Thaddeus which
carried the first Christian missionaries to
Hawaii and landed in the islands April 3. 1890.
Locmis' press was uaed principally for
printing educational matter for instruction Of
the -Hawsiians by the missionaries. but the
king came to realize its value and sent him
two DEGREES to be printed for PRONUNCIATION.
The first newspapers turned out in Hawaii
were printed in the Hawaiian tongue, adapted
to English letters This date Of their appear

Judith made her way up two
flights of stairs to her room in the
boarding house-where she had lived
for the five years since her mothers
death. Flinging herself into the
shabby chair which stood next to
the window she relaxed. A few
minutes later her hazel eyes opened
languidly and wandered over the
room 1t was not by any means a
cheerful place. The old oak dresser
had given many years of faithful
service. while the bed, Judith
thought must have been purchased
at some antique store. Two horse

which could not now be determined,

cries adorned the windows, no pic
