LEGEND DUETS. FEAR
Volcanic Activities Fail to Dis
 turb Older HaWaiians.

HilO, Island of Hawaii, T. H-Re- pits of MakOpuhi, Hanau and Napau, which have been dead" since 1S40, drained much of the lava that had made Halemaumau, the vast inner era tacular, and caused much fear that the lava would flow toward the sea and inundate the little villages of Kala- pana, Panau and Puaa.
 The older generation of HawailanS, however, entertained no such fear, for they remembered an ancient legendary agreement that had been made by Pele, goddess of the volcano, with Kama Puaa, the Hawaiian pig god, by which Pele promised her lava would never flow through HilO or Puma to the sea.
 Pele and Kama Puaa had an argu ment and Kama Puaa went to Hale maumau, Pele's home, to fight it out The god and goddess fought until Pele was overcome, and she pleaded for peace, according to the legend.
 We shall have peace if you prom ise never to allow your lava to flow through Puma or Hilo to the se. 7" Kama Puaa said. Pe1e assented, and she has never broken the promise fearing a return of the hated Kama Puaa, .the legend said.
 In 1880, when a lava flow was pro- ceeding toward Hilo and threatened to destroy the city. the Princess Ruth came from Honolulu here and, standing near the flow, reminded Pele of he1 promise and her danger from Kama Puaa if she broke the agreement. The flow stopped immediately, according to the older Hawaiians.
 On several other occasions Pele has sent her red-hot rivers in the direction of Puma and HilO, but they have never reached the two places.
 The last activity, resulting from an underground flow from Halemaumau that broke out at MakaOpuhi, Il miles down the great southeast rift that leads from Kilauea, has changed he appearance of Kilauea, Hawaii's great est scenic attraction, tremendously, according to persons now at the crater.
 It is now possible during favorable wind shifts to approach close to the pit-rim in what was known as Pele's oven.
 Although the pit of Kilauea shows no activity, volcano observers say that "She is not dead. only sleeping."

As for the matter of good plays the boys were all tarr- ed with the same stick, they all took in a notch in their belts and played 'em high, wide,- and handsome. These two games provided the best baseball sport seen in Holbrook in many a day. We have a ball team that's s a good one and don't tail along at the end of some othertown's sprocession these days. No sir. Not any a. tall!
 We hope that we will have more games with Belen at some future date as they have a dandy team of which they are no doubt proud.
 The summary of the last game was as follows: R Ii

 night. See the heavens aglow with light; Angels descending in raiment white To tell that the Lord has come!
 Chorus Glory to god, the choral strain, Glory to God, the sweet refrain; Glory, glory, glory to God, Christ, our Redeemer's born. Softly, sweet1y, the angels sing, Heavens music to earth they bring; Hark! O, hear how the echoes sing, Christ, our Redeemer's born. Hal1eluj jahi Hark from above, Angels come on the wings of love; Loud hosannahs welcome the morn, Christ our Redeemer's born. Ginning. chiming, hark 'tis the bells, Joy to all their music tells; Floating onward. greeting the morn, Christ our Redeemer's bornl

Dolls Christmas Tree

Once there was a daddy doll, mother doll and three little dolls. Christmas night when their little mis- tress had set them all around the Christmas tree and had gone to bed, the daddy doll said Lets take a walk and hunt our children a Christmas tree, too, and take it away before our mistress gets up." So the mother doll told the oldest little doll that they were going to walk. The daddy doll and the mother doll went out Soon they came back and the mother doll came in and told the little dolls to go in the other room. The daddy doll came in with the Christmas tree and stood it up. The mother doll found some popcorn and they put 1t on the dolls tree. Then they called their little dolls. They were so hap py they forgot to take it out till the daddy doll said, Look at the clock. It is o'clock. We had better take this tree out before our mistress comes out and finds us playing" So he took the Christmas tree and threw it out. And they took their seat and they lived happy.

 Dear Aunt Ann: You were so kind as to publish my story on my trip to Florida that I am going to tell you about my trip to Texas. I was on a visit to my aunt.
 I went to San Antonio, and there l saw the famous Alamo building that we have studied so much about in history. In this building I saw the sword that Ponce De Leon used in all of his wars.
 also saw the largest park in the south. Its name is Breckenridge park.
 In this park they had all kinds of animals, most any kind that you could think of. I will name some Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Camels, Rocky mountain sheep, monkeys. seals, all kinds of fish, ostriches, buf- falos, also a bathing pool and bath house, and benches on the banks. There were tables under trees for picnics.
 We went to Austin and went all through the capital all the way up to the top where l could see all over the city. 1 was with my aunt, and as we would see interesting places we would make pictures, which l treasure highly until this present day. Your friend.

Story Ahnnt East Lake

When I was in the sixth grade pr, J. H. Phillips came to visit our room. He told us about East Lake a long time ago. He said there was nothing but forest in most of the city. A few houses were here. about mile apart The only way to get here was to ride on little cars drawn by mules. The roads were muddy and were not paved as they are today. When any one passed through on the train all they could see was woods and forest. Where the East Lake park is now was nothing but a ccrnfield when he was here. So you can see how East Lake has grown. Its population is about 2,500 persons now. It was very small then. There were no schools here then. pr. Phillips said he remembered all of this.

Dear Aunt Ann: I am sending you story that T composed myself.
 ''rhe Fly That Taught n Lesson,
 Once a beautiful lady went to a fair She had many beautiful clothes and she had nice manners. But one thing about her was this: She was always meddling with h-other peoples things.
 Now, as she walked up and down the aisles at the fair she meddled with everything. She came to a beautiful green fly. It shone as bright as diamond. There was a sign right beside the green fly which read: Hands off" but the lady did not pay any attention to the sign, but touched the green fly just like she had done everything else. The green fly was alive, but the lady did not know it. It stung her so bad that it was months and months before she got over the sting, and when she did she never again meddled with anything that did not belong to her.
 Every time she would start to meddle with anything that did not belong to her, she would think about the day she went to the fair and would say, That little green fly taught me a lesson"
 Give all my love to the cousins.

When you go calling, or to spend the day at old friends houses, it's almost not fashionable any longer to ask anybody to play. In fact, you'd hardly mention their playing for anything. You feel you'd be impos ing burden. They'd think it too poky, too much trouble, or that you were too oldfangled.
