DREAMS.

If a good little child be ever sogood,

As good as a child can be;Wee Willie Winkie comes over the

hillWith his sack of dreams comes

he.One little dream of a truly train,One little dream of a candy cane,One little dream of a woolly

sheep,Qne little dream of a doll to

keep,One little dream of a rub-a-ru- b

drums,One little dream of a top that

hums,One little dream of a trumpet

red,One little dream of a brand new

sled,One little dream of a chocolate

dropDream upon dream, and they

never stop.If a good little child be ever so

good,As good as a child can be;

Wee Willie Winkie whv, here heis!

"Shut your eyes, quick," says he.

iAt our Post-offic- e door,Find Hill's curio store (fine find),Could you miss it, 'twould be a

Should you miss it, oh what ablunder !

Thou must diligently make it thyaim, that in every place, and inevery action or outward employ-ment, thou be inwardly free andmaster of thyself, and that allthings be under thee, and not thouunder them. That thou mayest belord and ruler of thy actions, not aslave or bondsman. But rather afreeman, transferred to the lot andto the liberty of the children ofGod; who stand above the thingspresent, and contemplate those thatare eternal. Thomas A. Kempis.

"What did you have, dear editor,in your stocking?"

THE HONOLULU TIMES

Few cheques (no checks), cupsand sassers (sass her), which arcso thin and light, skecred shallshatter 'em (like new resolutions)in less than twelve months; and,Kalcndars (40-leve- n) until we were"tired" of" looking at our new-found friend, "1909," with whomwe must journey, come rain, comeshine, for 365 days; and reallylooked back with regret at dear old1908, who had treated us from be-

ginning to close, so kindly!Cards and cards and cards, beau-

tiful baskets of beauties roses andpinks, nasturtium and fern, plumcake and spirit (good spirit) candyand candies and pyramid of"goodies" and fruit, and ribbons,pictures and purse, stationery, per-fumery, books (lovely), and littlewe promised to tell ("I dinna careto tell").

And now, we must all get backcalmly and resolutely and with"willing mind" to the legitimate"common task" and work of life.

"And help us, this and everyday, (O Lord) To live more near-ly as we pray," as dear Keble tellsus.

We are compelled to admit thatour dear contemporary, the Mourn-i- n'

Glory, in reviewing .today, ourillustrious political status (all illus-trated) brings the editorial gavelclown with an unusually heavyplump and thump, that remindsone of Boston's State-hous- e, etc.

Personally, we don't quite seewhy a Mayor, any Mayor, need beclassical at all.

Jonesor Brown (Judge Robinson, yea)has not in stock or store (head),of ancient lore galore, so we areconstrained to fancy. A man maygo "through" college oh yes! andattend Yale dinners and Harvardsuppers later on (yes, loo late),but, where's his little mark? his"footprints on the sands of time?"(Cui bono.)

Rhodes as sccretarv, and Loganas one of the in thebookkeeping of the country, for thepresent, (no gifts or presents outof it!) We ought surely one andall, to feel safe so far as "City andCountv" are at stake.

Jan.' 5.

New York City is a heartlessplace. Evcrv one you speak to is aGerman, a Jew or an Italian. Thevast bulk of them know nothingand do not try to learn. If youtalk money to them they can under-stand, but nothing else.

Several of the schools here have5000 pupils each, and the schoolchildren in the public schools num-ber as many as the whole popula-tion of Boston. The city is extra-ordinarily brilliant at night and thestores unceasingly attractive.Wanamakcr, who succeeds A. T.Stewart, has now two huge build-ings on two corners of the crossstreet and Broadway connected bysubway and bridge. In an im-

mense auditorium in the new build-ing concerts are given every after-noon. Boston's population is muchmore agreeable to meet, the car ser-

vice much better arranged and theconductors far more courteous.

We have just opened a new sub-

way under Washington street,which is said to be the best arrang-ed and most attractive in the world.Moving stairways carry you at cer-tain points and every convenienceis anticipated. I still write fouror five editorials, about threecolumns each week so I do not rustout.

MAYOR FERN.

It is certainly a fine thing andof which any man should feel just-ly, not proud but grateful, to beMayor of a city ; and it is a super-lative honor, the finest honor, to bethe first Mayor of a city.

The word or name "Fern" sug-gests at once, delightful images tothe mind and eye.

We think of shady, cool, refresh-ing vales and forests of greenery ;

of sparkling water, clear and sweetsplashing good-natured- ly over therocks and pebbles far adown intothe valley; we think of lovelyscenes and quiet resting placespromoting gladness ; for, there, arefound abundance of fern. (Fern allnight and green enough.)

It is excellent for pupils to betaught to observe signs; for, theyare public educators.

Let a boy, for instance, look inat the 'A. Y. C."

He sees the capitals at oncethe period placed for all contrac-tions, on every package of candy.

Can he spell chocolate, raspberry,vanilla, etc.?

the gifts ranged, the whole amount-ing to a great deal in value and allbeing of genuine practical value tothe ninety and one girl pupils andto the members of the faculty.

The Washington Herald says:"Mrs. Augustus F. Knudsen, of

Kekaha, Territory of Hawaii, whowas designated by Governor WalterF. Frcar as delegate to the Wo-men's Rivers and Harbors Con-gress, has traveled 5000 miles inorder to show the interest of thepeople of the Islands in this greatmovement."

FAITHFUL TO DUTY.

How shall we estimate the ser-vices of those who never swervefrom the line of duty as the yearsroll by? What shall we say,what meed of praise offer tothose who can look back to a ser-vice of half a century without asingle lapse of duty? Shall wesit down and consider whetherthe position was one that theworld honors, or the simpler,humbler line of work almost un-

known, but very essential?When Mr. Austin K. Jones

gave up the position of bell-ring- er

at Harvard after fifty years ofunbroken service, it recalled tothe memory of many a graduatethe many times he had been sum-moned to duty. We had occa-sion, recently, to recognize thefaithful, the ideal service of onewho never flinched in the call ofduty for a period almost as longa time. It is coming to be recog-nized as one of the solid at-

tributes of the city that thosewho help move its machinery areso faithful for long periods oftime.

Mr. Jones has been and is anhonored citizen, taking his partin the civic life of the city.Quiet, unobtrusive, straightfor-ward, he is able to enjoy thefamilv he has reared and the com-petence which his prudence andeconomy have made possible.The rising generation may welltake note of his example and mayhope like him to be respected andhonored for what is within thereach of all fidelity to duty.

Of Roman Catholic methods,Mr. Rockefeller said that he has"seen the organization of theRoman church secure better re-

sults with a given sum of moneythan other church organizationsare accustomed to secure fromthe same expenditure. It is un-

necessary to dwell upon the cen-turies of experience which theChurch of Rome has gonethrough to perfect a great powerof organization."

Washington, D. C, Dec. 14. ;

The remarkable week wasbrought to a climax with the an-

nual fall dinner of the GridironClub, all of whose dinners havecome to be notable events in thelife of a Washington winter.Nearly all the prominent figuresin the week's doings were invitedguests at that banquet. ThePresident and Vice-Preside- nt ofthe United States were present,as were the President-elec- t andthe ct. Hon.W. F. Frear of Honolulu figuredamong the gubernatorial guestsand occupied a seat at the headtable.

It was a night of wit and fun-makin- g,

in which all the digni-taries unbended and met on aplane of equality with the forty-od- d

Washington newspaper cor-respondents comprising the mem-bership of that club. Cabinet of-

ficials, national chairmen, andSenators and Representativesgalore were among the banquet-ers about the gridiron shapedtable and did not adjourn till mid-nifh- t,

when the impressive ren-dering by a tenor soloist of "TheSong That Reached My Heart,"was completed.

"THE ANNALS OF A QUIETNEIGHBORHOOD."

What can we offer for younow of annal, anecdote, or storyat length, like to dear famousMcDonald.? Our mite even isbut lame and halting in compari-son.

The Young Hotel looks over atus and the Cafe is tempting andcan easily be had.

The Y. M. C. A. looks too,cross-wis- e, at the Elite and likesto see all the plants growing inthe upper storv.

We planted Mrs. 'Taylor's nas-turtium seeds on New Year's Dayand said: "They should be up innine days," and on that clay oneseed was up, and on the eleventha potful ! So you see, seed ?

But we did not "forget" to givethem a little drink every day. Ababy must be fed you see.

And, that reminds us, thatnearly every dawn of clay or bitearlier it may be, a dear little

baby awakens from long slumberand is hungry; and, as it cannottalk it tells its mother by crying,to feed it even with warm milk,which can be ready in five min-utes, if a clean well-fille- d lamp iskept on hand.

It is very pleasant and greenback of our office and never dowe hear ought but kind wordsand cheerful greetings, song,whistling and story. Ours is in-

deed a quiet orderly neighbor-hood.

It suits us and we are not(knot) too easily, suited.

("Yaw.")However, we are suited when-

ever Miss Fitzhenry can findtime to play: "Come back toErin" and "Home, Sweet Home."

Not far from this, our domicile,is a beautiful little boy and themother lets him go to play in thegarden by himself; but, everynow and again she goes and callsout, to see if the little one haswandered "outside the bound-aries" (as Bishop Willis used toterm it, at old "Iolani").

This morning we overheard themother calling and the little chapshouted back: "Me all wight,Ma-m- a !"

4 4 4We have the Library, the His-

torical Socictv, the Masonic Tem-ple and Kcarn's Chutney justclose below us, the Central Unionwith Dr. Scudder just a pieceover from us a stone's throw,the R. C. also with cross, bells,clock striking every fifteen min-utes day and night, bells "calling"us up to prayers at five a. m.,the Angclus again at 6:30 p. m. ;

and, the C. S. within our gates ;

with all this we ought to try real-ly to crutch it some way, overthe rugged road of life.

Whenever we gang out for ourKona (not storm) coffee as wefind ourself again in our own"neighborhood," Hotel street, wemay see the tall majestic figureof Mr. Peter awaiting a messageand the bootlacks all in order toshine shoes, crossing we bid thehackman good morning whothinks (if he doesn't say) 'twouldbe a fine morning to drive me andmy friend to the Pali all for fourdollars and a fair (fare) price.

George II. Allenmade the distance, over the sameroute, September, 1904, in 16days 21 hours 33 minutes, averag-ing over 53 miles a day. I haverecently received a letter fromthis remarkable pedestrian. Hewrites :

"I have just finished (October,190S) the greatest and lastathletic feat of my life, by walk-ing from Lands' End to JohnO'Groat's, and beating mv formerrecord by three days. This timeT went the direct route (840miles), and covered the whole

distance in 13 days 23 hours.This works out just 60 miles aday." He adds:

"On my recent walk I made yjmiles :' the first day ; thelast day into John O'Groat's 732.From Perth on over the Gram-pian Mountains, 72 miles, I seem-ed to be gifted witli almost super-human strength. Over theserough roads," he writes, "I wentlike one wdio walks on air.My feet, of course, were knockedabout somewhat, and for severaldays I was troubled with a ratherbad left heel."

Toward the close of his mostinteresting letter Mr. Allen says :

"But I must leave off this talkingof myself. Still I feel you willunderstand that it is all for theenlightenment of the world thatI walk and talk and work, anddo even-thin- I do. You will un-derstand I never make a pennyout of my athletic ability. Icould, if I felt so disposed, makea fortune in a few years, but Iprefer to work freely and with asingle eye, knowing that in thiswav, and this alone, can I doGod's will."

A little explanation may behere profitable. The man Allen,from his eighth to his eighteenthyear, was an epileptic. On oneoccasion, at the age of sixteenyears, he had thirty-tw- o seizuresin one day and was not expectedto recover therefrom. From thistime on he went in for a "rigidsystem of diet, exercise andbaths," and has never had an at-

tack since his eighteenth year.He now takes warm baths two orthree times weekly with an occa-sional midday dip in a stream.He has taken no medicine sincesixteen years of age. Mr. Allensays : "Because vegetarianism hasdone so much for me, I am will-ing to give my best to the ad-

vancement of its principles." Hefully recognizes, however, thatwhile feats of endurance in them-selves do not constitute the high-est form of propaganda, they,nevertheless have the advantageof being very real argument forthe cause.

His walk finished, thus hewrites : "A hot bath, a good meal,and I retired to take a well-earne- d

rest, with a card bearing thesewords facing me : 'They that waitupon the Lord, shall renew theirstrength,' "

THE LUCK OF FOUR-LEAVE- D

CLOVER.

"You don't mean to tell me,"said Uncle Jacob, looking horri-fied, "that not one of you hasever found a four-leav- ed clover?Well, well, well!"

Bernicc and Rachel, the twins,and Chrissy, the nine-year-ol- d,

looked as ashamed as they felt.Plainly, Uncle Jacob consideredit a serious thing never to havefound a four-leave- d clover.

"I didn't know there was sucha thing as a four-leafe- d clover,"said Chrissy, determined to makea clean breast of it.

Uncle Jacob shook his head."I've always had my suspiciousabout those city schools. Whatdo they teach, if they leave outsuch important tilings? Ofcourse, if you've never even' heardof four-leafe- d clovers you don'tknow how there came to be four-leav- ed

clovers at all?"No, they didn't; but they want-

ed to learn."Well, at least, you know that

the queen of the fairies made allthe clovers?" said Uncle Jacob.

The twins and Chrissy didn'treally know that, cither; but theykept silence ; they were not go-

ing to display any more ignor-ance.

"One day she was makingclovers at a great rate, being anindustrious fairy; but somehowor other she made a mistake incounting, for when she finishedshe had a whole clover-lea- f leftover. She thought it would be aterrible thing to waste it, beingan economical fairy. In the

midst of her perplexity she had abrilliant idea, being a cleverfairy. She added the extra leafto a clover, and gave it the fairyblessing, being a kindly-dispose- d

fairy. And so, from that timeout, whoever finds a four-leave- d

clover is a very lucky person."Npw," concluded Uncle Jacob,

"I have a plan. Out there behindthe orchard is a whole big mea-dow of clover. You three maylook for four-leafe- d clovers to-

morrow, and the one who findsthe first four-leave- d clover shallgo with me to town day after to-

morrow, and we'll have a jam-boree."

The twins and Chrissy wereimmensely excited. They hadonly been a fortnight at MountHope Farm, but in that time theyhad learned what a "jamboree"with Uncle Jacob meant. Allthat night they dreamed of find-ing four-leave-d clovers, and afterbreakfast the next morning theywere ready for the clover mea-dow.

"Dear me!" said Aunt Mar)',with a sigh, as she went throughthe hall, "there's that bottle ofmedicine Doctor Fair left herelast night for Terry Andrews. Itought to go down this morning,but I don't see how I'm ever go-

ing to get time to take it."Chrissy heard her just as she

was going out of the door.Chrissv stopped short. The twinswere already scrambling over thefence. Chrissy thought of thejamboree just once. Then shesaid : "I'll run down to the An-

drews' with Teddy's medicine,aunty."

"Thank you, Chrissy; that willbe a real help to me," said AuntMary, who didn't know anythingabout the clover-lea- f compact.

Uncle Jacob saw Chrissy start-ing off with the bottle. "Well,well, well !" he said.

Chrissy had seen Teddy An-

drews before, and felt very sorryfor him. He was just seven, andwas ill with spinal trouble. Hehad to lie on the sofa all the time.This morning, she found him cry-ing.

"O Teddy, what's the matter?"she said.

"Johnny said he would read methe new fairy story Aunt Marysent me this morning," sobbedTeddy, "and now he's gone offfishing, and there's nobody to

THE HONOLULU TIMES

read; and I'm so tired of beingsick and lonesome."

Chrissy in her mind's eye sawthe twins in clover. But shesaid, briskly: "I'll read it to you,Teddy boy. Here, give me thebook."

Chrissy read all the morning.The story was a long one, andTeddy was wild to know the end.He listened with flushed checksand shining eyes, and whenChrissy finished, he said: "Oh,thank you ever so much. It wasjust splendid. I'll think about itall the afternoon, and not be a bitlonesome."

Chrissy promised to comeagain soon, and read to him.Then she walked soberly home todinner. She thought she hadlost all chance of the jamboree;but when the twins came in todinner neither of them had yetfound a four-leave- d clover.

"I'm afraid the fairy queen for-got to make any this year," saidRachel, sorrowfully.

After dinner, back hurried thedetermined twins. Chrissy stay-ed to help Aunt Mary with thedinner dishes, and then she, too,started for the field. In the yardshe met little Nora Lee.

"Please, I've come to learn thesoup- - " said Nora, shyly.

Chrissy had met Nora in Sunday-

-school and had promised thatif Nora came up to Mount Hopesome da)r, she would teach herthe loveliest new song she hadlearned in Sunday-scho- ol athome. But she had not knownNora would come just when itwas so necessary she should belooking for four-leave-d clover.

"Come in," she said heartily."We'll go right at it."

It was three o'clock beforeNora had learned the song andgone home. Chrissy was tiredand warm, but no twin had yetturned up with a four-leave- d

clover, and the jamboree was stillto be won. As Chrissy wentthrough the kitchen Aunt .Marygot up off the sofa with a sigh.

"Dear me! I must make acake for the men's tea. And howmv head does ache!"

For a moment Chrissy thoughtshe couldn't no, she couldn't!Then she did. "Aunty, I'll makethe cake, and you go and liedown. Oh, yes, indeed, youmust! I can make plain cakesplendidly, and I like doing it."

"You are the greatest little helpthat ever was, Chrissy," saidAunt Mary, gratefully. "I be-lieve I'll have to let you. I canhardly hold my head up. I'll goand lie down upstairs."

Chrissy lighted a fire, put onan apron, mixed the cake, andbaked it. Uncle Jacob looked inat the window once, and saw her.'

"Well, well, well!" he said tohimself.

Then tea-tim-e came, and whenthe twins came in to tea, lo, andbehold! neither of them had yetfound a four-leave- d clover! Butthey were determined that theywould.

Chrissy made her third startfor the clover meadow; but shesaw Aunt Mary, who hadn't eat-en any supper, and who had a lit-

tle wrinkle of paint between hereye-brow- s, packing a basket inthe pantry.

"Where arc you going withthat basket?" said Chrissy. "Idon't think you ought to be up atall. Please go and lie down."

"I must take this basket of eat-ables down to old Aunt Sally,"said Aunt Mary. "She is verypoor, and I fear she is out of pro-visions. I forgot about it before,so I mustn't put it off any long-er."

"I'll take it down to Aunt Sal-ly," said Chrissy.

"Child, I'm afraid you are tootired. You've been running myerrands all day, Chrissy."

"That is what nine-year-o- ld

legs are for," said Chrissy, laugh-ing. "I'm not a bit tired, and Ihaven't a headache."

Uncle Jacob saw Chrissy start-ing off with her basket, and hesaid: "Well, well, well!"

It was nearly dark when Chris-sy got back. She was tired, andher face was a wee bit sober, forshe knew it was too late now tolook for lucky clovers. The dewwas falling, and Aunt Mary neverlet them stay out after dewfall.Then Chrissy just happened tolook down, and there at her feetwas a big dumb of clover. Shebent over it, and gave a joyful lit-

tle cry. Right under her handwere three four-leave- d clovers,such big, luxuriant clovers thatthey must have cost the fairyqueen some economical twinges.

Chrissy picked the clovers, andher feet went twinkling up the

lane, forgetting all about beingtired. Uncle Jacob was sittingon the veranda, and the twinswere there, too, rather tired andcross.

"O girls," gasped Chrissy, "did3'ou find any four-leave-d clovers?I've found three!"

"Sec, there, now," said UncleJacob, "I expected you would.It's an odd thing I forgot tocomment on this before that thefolks who go looking for four-leav- ed

clovers hardly ever seemto find them. It's the folks whogo about doing little duties andkindnesses, and thinking aboutother people, that find the luck.Well, Chrissy, we'll have the jam-boree, sure enough."

Chrissy looked at the twins'disappointed faces.

"Please, Uncle Jacob," shesaid, "can't Rachael and Bernicego, too? You see, I found threeclovers."

"So you did; so you did!That's always the way. Peoplelike you find so much luck that itspills over into other people'swav, even when they don't de-

serve it. Yes, we'll take thetwins, too. Now run up to bed,and get your beauty sleep for to-

morrow."And that night they all dream-

ed again of finding four-leave- d

clovers; but Chrissy slept withhers under her pillow. Congre-gationalism

THE HONOLULU TIMES

In the afternoon in all theschools a part of the time was de-

voted to the study of the life anddeeds of Columbus.

An amusing reply was given byone of the pupils. A teacher hadtold the class of the wonderfulvoyage of Columbus and how heinsisted on continuing the voy-age after the other men wereclamoring to return. Then sheasked: "Who was Columbus?"with the view of hearing howwell thev had followed her talk.

One little hand went up."Well, Johnny, who was he?"

asked the teacher."Columbus was the gem of the

ocean," was the answer.

Oh, yes, there will be plenty ofactivity in Chinatown. How-ever, it is a season which all Ho-nolulu enjoys. The touristswatch the parti-colore- d lightsfrom their hotel windows andthen make the rounds of theclubs at night; the haole busi-nessmen look forward to the an-

nual reception at the UnitedChinese society club where thesincerest reception is accordedthem ; and the Chinese Consul'sofficial residence will be throngedwith well-wisher- s.

Chinese New Year opens onJanuary 21 and will continue forseveral clays.

The anniversary of the birth ofEmperor William of Germanywill be celebrated one week fromtoday in the German Consulate.An elaborate reception is plannedby the house of Hackfcld on theoccasion.

The housewife can get dande-lion greens, if she will ask herChinese peddler. If he 'docs notunderstand, write "dandelion" ona slip of paper and he will keepyou supplied. They know its vir-tues as food and liver medicine.

Mustard greens arc excellent,but I have not succeeded in get-ting any, though my Chinamansaid he sowed some seed and theworms ate it.

Cooking greens with pork isnot essential. Simply boil in wa-tc- rr

and drain, then cook in oil,cream, butter or other fat, asliked.

Perhaps some would like an oldstyle of preparing dandelions,watercress and the outside greenleaves of lettuce. Cut in lengthsof one-four- th inch, heat vinegar,oil, or pork fat and pour over,salting to taste. The stem endsof dandelion may be boiled if thewhole bunch is not needed.Dandelion and watercress makea good salad with salad dressing,or simply oil, lemon or vinegar;as does also green onions and saltsalmon added to the onions. Allthese various relishes are whole-some appetizers.

using less milk. If you have nostove to bake it, steam it slowlyuntil egg is set, like custard.When you are awfully hungryfor squash pic, try it.

less rich. Cut dry bread in inchsquares or less. When well soak-ed in the custard, bake or steamslowly until set. Before remov-ing spread cocoa or chocolate ontop, making a meringue, or sweet-en and add a little water. 'Tisa pleasing change from the mod-

Oakland, November 17. "No-bo- d'

can ever expect to get near-er a paradise where there are au-

tomobiles than is Honolulu," isthe opinion Attorney George W.Reed expresses. Delightful oceanvoyage, free from all sickness ;

perfect climate in the island capi-tal, and wholesome hospitality,made the trip one of keen delightthroughout for Mr. Reed, whotook it to get a vacation from hislegal work.

Many things impressed thetraveler, but none more than thedelightful climate with which thecity of Honolulu, with more than50,000 inhabitants, is blessed.Not only is the climate perfect,but the civic appointments, suchas telephone, clcctricitv and streetcar systems, make the city partic-ularly enjoyable for the traveler.

The immense possibilities of theislands, with the tremendous agri-cultural wealth, convinced Mr.Reed that the Territory has a bril-liant commercial future before it.

"One thing that is going to havea great stimulative effect on thecity and the islands," he said, "isthe naval station at Pearl Harbor,

where the Federal isspending' millions of dollars inconstructing th best naval sta-tion in the world. I visited theharbor with the officers from thePacific squadron and was sur-prised at the magnitude of the un-

dertaking."The largest vessels can enter

this harbor, the banks are capableof giving perfect defense, and thechannel is large enough to accom-modate all the ships belonging tothe nation.

"One company is now estab-lishing a 2000-acr- e pineapple plan-tation, erecting its own canneryand creating a colossal industry.

"The government experimentalfarm is experimenting with cot-ton, which is expected to becomeone of the most valuable of theisland crops. The sugar, coffeeand sisal plantations are wonder-ful sights, and speak eloquentlyfor the future of that island.

"Three hundred automobilesare in use in Honolul 1, being par-ticularly enoyable, owing to theperfect roads. The island is net-ted with modern electric lines. Ithink every person should visitthat island, as it is the most beau-tiful place I have ever seen."
