September 17, 1334. If we remember correctlv the “Charleston” iras the first of the “Whiie Sqnadron'’ to visit Honoluln. Her arriral on her secon3 crnise is still ia the miads ol who were here on January 29, 1891. When with flags at half-mast and yards cock-bnilt she entered port with the body of King Ealakana, the kin<l attentions shown by the oflBcers to the King during the voyage to the L*nited States and the, almost sacred manner in whieh the botly was gnarded while being borne to the Islands, endeared the “Charleston’’ to the peopla of Hawaii. As mueh as it was in the power of the people, their appreciation was shown to the oflBcers dnring their stay and when sailed they left graven on tablets of love and memory,ev- : idences of their Aloha for Ha1 wau. Few, if any, of the officers who were heie then are on the vessel now; some have reached the age of retirement and others I have gone to other vessels but i the Gharleston is still grean in the heait «of the Hawaiians. Have you ever used a Pansy Stove? We have lbeen selling them for four or five years and to-day they wear the “Yellow Coat” in the empire of stoves. They are recognized by every oue, oven dealers in other stoves, as a superior article and one whieh they do not care to ruu up against. Of course stoves may be bought from people who are uot dealers. We have people ruuning hero every day or two for fire bricks and parts belonging to stoves they have bought from other parties, and when they find they eanuol get them they disoard their stoves and

buy a “Pansy.” You see there is a disadvantage in buying dear things at low pnces. Come to us and get a Pansy at §15 00 and you get full value for yonr money. Yoa don’t get a ?75.00 range for fifteen dollars. mind you, but you get a first class stove that is worth Thirty dollars to any one

Our Ready Mited Paints are , suited to the wants of ueople who have a little painting they want to do themselves. ‘The advant1 age in bnying a prep;ired paint is that you have the benefit of the best mixors in the United St:ites without having to pay for it. The paint is ready for use directly you take the top off the ean and if yon don’t find it eheap- j er and better than any you ean mix yourself we are mistaken in our experience' In California the nainters are using the prepared I article in preference to buying lead and oils because they find it to their advantage to do so. We believe it is only a question of time when the painters here will fall into line.
