POPE With Kameharacha, Kawaiahao, Maunaolu, and other such schools for the education or Hawaiian girls, the field, so far as education is concerned, Is pretty well covered. The gixat need for many years has heon Borao suit able home where girls could bo sheltered and fostered under good in fluences during the Interim before they are settled In somo permanont occu pation or home. For this purposo two such homes have been Instituted, Kalulani and Cluett. But these homes are filled to overflowing and are entirely inado quoto with a long waiting list of those who cannot be accommodated. Recognizing the great need that there is for farther provision in this line, the graduates of Kamehameha propose to do honor to the memory of their benefactress, Miss Ida M. Popo by establishing such a home, as a last ing memorial to her virtues and char racter. They are undertaking tolraiseja fund of $150,000 for this purpose, mainly, though not solely, through the efforts and generosity of the Kamehamelfa graduates. Uniform organizations are being created on the different Islands wth a view to getting into touch with all Kamehameha graduates, and to in terest them In this most worthy cause. A number of high class concerts or other entertainments will be given on Kauai for this purpose, duo notice of which will be given from time to time.

It all happened bo sudden, like a stroke of lightning out of a clear sky, that Wong has hardly got his breath yet and is still wondering, why these haoles arc so finicky and particular about what a person carries in a gunny sack. Wong was vending his legitimate wares and also his self-concocted "Eau de Vie," when unfortunately for hm, one of the minions of the law es pied him and, suspicious of Wong's ac tions, apprehended him. Sure enough besides the homely peanut, quite a quantity of mountain dew was found reposing In his gunny. Bail was in order now and not having sufficient kale in his Jeans, Wong was allowed to interview some of his friends, who generously made up the purse demand ed by he officers. Wong gained his free dom but his wares were confiscated and are in the Sheriff's care. In Court next day, Wong made him self scarce and falling to appear, his money was declared forfeited and turned in as a County realization. :0: LIHUE HOSPITAL ATTENDANTS RECEIVE BEAUTIFUL GIFTS Two weeks ago Sunday the Japanese of Lihue community called on Togo, the genial and obliging assistant at Lihue Hospital, and presented him with a handsome gold watch and chain in token of their appreciation for his untiring efforts in their behalf during the flu epidemic.

The Makcos' lack of pitchers with any sort of ability on the mound was partly responsible for tho defeat, but ihey threw away the game themselves . making many costly errors at crltl ".l moments.' Hoopll on third, Bun Heu at short, Rodrigues at first, King 'n left, and Wolters at the plate, all dropped perfectly thrown halls that 3hould have retired baserunners, but were scored as runs Instead. All in all, 'ho Makees had an off day all around, .lid had nobody but themselves to blamo for losing to what was supposed to be, an easy team. Umpire Marcalllno, who usually offi ciates in a very satisfactory manner, also had an off day, calling mnny 3trikes that seemed too low and too high for tho batters to swing at. The feature of the game was the pitching of Furtado, who struck out fifteen batters for Makawell. In the eighth he fanned Hoopll, Shlral and Rodrigues in succession, and in the ninth Arcia and Morita also whiffed, making it five in a row. Barrette and Tsunehlro also starred, the former get ting a trlpple and a single in two times up, and the latter a double and a home run to deep center. The game was marred by what seemed to be a deliberate attempt on the part of Pedro, the Filipino catcher nf Makawell, to spike first baseman Rodrigues of the Makees. In the sec ond inning, he hit a grounder to Hoopll at third and tho ball got to first several feet ahead of the runner, but when a few feet away from the bag, Pedro umpcd into the air straight for the "nVles of Rodrigues. Luckily, tho lat ter had time to get away when he saw the spikes coming, but one can imagine the result had the play been close, forcing Rodrigues to remain on tho bag little longer. Umpire Marcalllno noticed this piece of dirty work and warned the offender that a repltition of tho same would result in his banish ment from the game. McBryde-Kllauea Tho McBryde-Kilauca game at Kli auea, was a shut-out game, 7 to 0 in f.tvor of McBryde. Next Sunday's Games The games next Sunday will be as follows: Makees vs. Kliauea at Kapaa; McBryde vs. Lihue at Eleele.
