Beaver that night. It seemed to me that! all the mosquitoes on the island must have been there to give us a welcome serenade. Several of Strength of Character By Rev. R. L.

Price. Strength of character is a force. It is made up of two things, power of will and power of self-restraint, not altogether unlike in themselves, but differing enough to make a good working force. Because it is made up of things or elements, it requires two things to its existence, which strong feelings and strong command over them. Just here is where we often make a great mistake.

We mistake strong feelings for strong character. A man who bears all before him, before whom many others tremble and whose outbursts of mere feeling or passion make all about him quake with fear, be- Honolulu, II. T. Fort Iluger 105th Co. March 7, 1916.

Dear Sir: As I recieve your paper every few days and also was at one time a resident of your city, I thought perhaps some of your readers there would be interested in a letter from this part of the world. Will write you of a hike we had during manuevers last year. We were all aroused from our slumbers somewhat earlier than usual for it was the day set for the commencement of our annual hike that we are required to take, It seemed as though I had just "hit my bunk" arrd it was "heart rendering" to hear the sharp notes of the bugle for we had taken a forced march through several inches of mud and did several miles of skirmishing thro' cactus, underbrush, and over sharp lava rocks the preceding day. However, at six-thirty we were formed in our company parade, heavy marching order and one ration apiece, ready to start. It was our first time to use our new packs that the government had issued to us and we were al anxious to try them out.

In the new field eauinment the blanket the men had just had their hair clipped so as to be as cool as possible and the mosquitoes seemed to take delight in lighting on their ba'd heads and humming "Home Sweet Home" etc. We spent the night keeping our smudges going and explaining to them how we liked their company, but it was all of no avail for they stayed with us until dawn and then we turned our attention to an attack we were to make on a sand hill a couple if miles away that was supposed be the defence of an imagin-iry enemy. It was hot work running from one sand dun to mother and crawling on our stomachs along gullies thro' burrs, but after two hours successfully charged the hill md marchedback to camp to for the day, it being Sun-lay, we did not continue our like. Sunday night we had a good rest for we unpacked our mosquito nets which Were on the wagons and at six a. m.

Monday we bade Waiamanila, which we had nicknamed "Mosquito Bay." We pushed our way thro underbrush and thickets for eight or ten miles, at last coming to a cut in the mountains thro' which we could pass. We camped Monday night near a large Marconi Wire-, less station. Here we were greeted by the hardest rain that I have ever seen. It came down the hills in streams and every thing we had was thoroughly soaked. It was a very disagreeable, night but the following morning the sun was shining as brightly as ever and our clothes soon dried on our bodies.

The roads however were in bad condition, but at four o'clock we were unslinging our packs and again were at" Ruger, having crossed the mountains twice and circled one, end of the island, which is about fifty miles, in Fou Sale: 4 room house, acre land. Cash or payments. W. S. Ford.

The Net Is Tightening There are 840 daily newspapers, published in the United States and using the English language, thatdecline liquor advertising. A year ago there were 4S2. If the rate implied in these figures continues the liquor trade will soon be out on the roads hunting for new mediums of communication. The truth of the situation is that, what with voluntary action by newspapers an i state action in the form of laws prohibiting advertising of lawless business, the future of the maker or vender of liquors, as a buyer of publicity, looks dark.

Crane, who has been pastor of the" M. E. church for over two years, has been appointed to the church in Howard, Elk county, Kansas. Rev. Crane went to, conference with the probable expectation of returning to Lallarpe, but the Howard people had heard of him, and upon some of the members meeting him at conferencs they became more solicitous for his appointment as their pastor.

He will receive an advanced in salary. Howard is a county seat, a good home town, and- has an altitude a few feet higher than the average eastern Kansas town, making the town suitable one for Air. Crane's health. The writer lived two year years 3 it, i Knows scineming aoout tne town. Rev.

R. N. Montague was appointed to the M. E. church at LaHarpe, and is a young man having a wife and three children, the oldest one we are told being 10 years of age.

We were pleased with his appearance having had a few moments conversation with him after the appointments were read. As we go to press we do not know whether he will be here for the Sunday services pr not, however if he should not arrive there will be services at the church Sunday morning.

A BACKHANDER FOR SAPPY. i company excepted, of nnnreo Mm Keen Yes, in both cases. cause he has his will obeyed and his own way in alf things, ve call him a strong man, when the truth is, he is a weak man with very strong passions, and he, I being mastered by them, has be- i come their obedient slave.

i A man's strength of character must be measured by the power of those men or influences which subdue him, control him, and direct his life. A calm, quiet, composure is very often (the highest mark and result of A man conscious of, his own strength needs not to bluster and storm, You may hate seera man re-j ceive a very grave insult and jonly grow a little pale and quiet-Jly and composedly reply. That man is spiritually strong. Or we i may have seen a man in anguish of mind and soul stand as if he were carved out of solid marble, mastering, himself, or one bearing a hopeless daily trial remain silent, and never tell the world what disturbed his. peace of mind.

That was strength. He who with strong passions remains pure; he who, being keenly sensitive, with manly powers powers of indignation in him, can be provoked atvi yet restrain himself and forgive, he a strong man, the spiritual hero. Bearing the thorn in the flesh and not the rose in the hand made Paul the great power in God's hands of taking the Gospel of redemption through Christ to the great and needy world of lost men. Farewells A picnic supper was given Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

The same evening the High School gave a farewell reception to Miss Dorothy and Maurice Crane at Wert.s Hall, uve Ilu vuu a roll, mess kit, is carried on the soldiers back while before the roll was slung over his shoulder. The new pack weighs about thirty pounds and is much better than the old one. The advance and flank guards were given time to get their proper distances and then we moved ahead in columns of IT.

squaas. it was great sport lor the first few miles and everyone was joking and laughing but as soon as the morning coolness disappeared and the sun began to cast smiles upon us all I could hear was the steady tread cf many feet upon hard, hot road. At twelve o'clock we7 stopped by the roadside to rest and eat our lunch which consisted of two sandwiches "and an onion. This brought life back to everybody and we again felt like pushing ahead. We traveled all the afternoon over winding roads thro' a very beautiful country, the valleys looking picturesque with their cocoanuts, banana, datepalms and other tropical trees and the hill sides covered with pineapple fields.

At four o'clock we again halted and pitched our tents on the beach twenty-two miles from where we started, having crossed a ridge, of mountains that run thro' the center of the island. To our right was a long ridge of the mountains which is at least one thousand feet high, and is very near vertical covered with verdant mosses and short grass from bottom to top, while on our left was the beach of fine white sand and rolling waves. This place is called Waiamanila and here inter island steamers can come within fifty feet of shore and dock. A pier extends out a short distance which is fine for diving and as soon as supper was over and our blankets were spread for a good night's rest, we all went in for a swim in the invigorating water. Scon the sun sank behind the mountain-i but there was no sleep for U3 rifles the entire distance? Respectfully Yours, Corporal B.

E. Ashley. The Parent-Teacher Meeting was held Monday evening in the Pioneer Building. Those present enjoyed a selection on the piano by Mrs. Dr.
