'The first missionaries for the is lands sailed from Boston in the bri Thaddeus, October 23, 1819, accoir panied by three of these Hawaiia youths, who were to act as Interpre era.

A MEMORABLE TREAT. ?fr (Detroit Free Press.) The colonel sat comfortably In his chair and gazed dreamily through a hazy cloud of Havana at the Christ mas crowd. "Ha-ha! Colonel. At last I've found you looking sad!" And a friend who had come up from be hind and slapped him affectionately on the shoulder pulled a big chair alongside and sat down. The colonel leaned farther hack in the envelop ing leather and a volley (if expanding rings poured from beneath the care fully trimmed white mustache. "That," he said, with a wave of his hand toward the throngs, "set me to .thinking of how in my country school-days we big, had boys some times locked the teacher out to make him give us a Christmas treat. At the precise moment you soaked me on the shoulder I was thinking of tho time we locked out our teacher. We notified him a week beforehand that we expected him to give us a nice, substantial treat when school Met out.' as we said, on ('bristmas live. He had been a good-natured fellow and had succeeded In keeping on good terms with ns scamps in spile of us, so as we wanted, for that rea son, to let him off as easily as possi ble wo specified only a box of or anges and a box of candy. " I'll think about it,' he said, lang] ing, and we supposed it was as good as agreed to. "So when on the morning of Christ mas live day Mr. Teacher arrived without anything that possibly could contain a treat, we were hurt-doub ly hurt to think that a supposed friend would treat us so. We silently waited till the noon hour, and when luncheon had been hurriedly gulped, two of us were detailed to get him away from the school house on some pretext or other. They succeeded, hut he didn't stay long, as it was a cold day and there was snow. When he found the door locked he rattled the knob and called: " 'Open the door, please! lt is I, Mr.-!' " 'Sorry,' one of the boys replied through the keyhole, 'but you'll have to give us a Christmas treat before we let you in.' " 'Come, boys, come,' be said stern ly. 'lt is too cold for joking.
