Poker is being played so large
ly in society that man must be
mighty careful how he sits into @
game. Not long ago a gentleman
who had played some years age
was at a card party at the home
of friend, and he vas invited lo
sit in with couple of dudes and
couple of dudesses, and, being
an old bachelor, he thought be
would show them that though he
was no dude, he could play
poker. The first hand he got
til ee ten spots, and girl drew
one card and bet 81. lie raised
her S5, thinking she might have
two pair, when she came back at
him with q so, and he laid down
his three ten-spots, thinking she
had filed. As she raked in the
money she laid down her hand
and it was bob-tail flush as
though she had fours, and there
was not movement of a muscle
of her face, though she breathed
hard, and there was a sealskin
cloak CLEAN in her eye that para
lyzed him. On the other hand
she looked as though she had
lost every friend she had, and
seemed TO be sick with ennui, and
her whole face, as she simply put

as she was only poor orphan;
but he bet $40. just to show her

The two Wises are always be-

are both in the House OF Repre-
sentatives from Virginia. To be
sure. John s. Wise is q Read
juster and George ID. Wise, bis
cousin, is a Democrat, but they
are both young and active. John
Sergeant Wise is the son Of Henry
A. Wise, but be will never be the
man his father was. He doesn't
look anything like him, to start
with. Henry A. Wise was thin;
q man OF fiery eyes. tongue and
temper. John s. Wise is short,
stout, chubby, smooth faced man
with brown hair, broadly parted
in the middle, who jokes and
laughs with the greatest ease. He
has his fathers quickness and
nervousness. He has, in some
measure. his fathers eloquence;

chewing the end Of a cigar, while
he writes with his head thrown to

which he can curb very effectually,
occupies the place Of the cigar.
Presently he jumps up and moves
rapidly around the House. He
stops at half a dozen desks, says
something bright at each and

Bohcmians In Literature.


Literature is rich with the work
OF Bohemians, some Of whom are
famous. But il was not until
literature became profession
that Bohemianism became a guide.
Sir Richard Steele was a perfect
specimen Of the literary Bohemi-
an Oliver Goldsmith was of the
fair fraternity, but Samuel john
son, Alexander Pope and icy
Joseph Addison were decidedly
not. They were literary, but had
not the divine contempt for the
morrow that marks the Bohemian.
Charles Lamb was perhaps not a
Bohemian in the extreme mean
ing of the word, but by all sym
pathy he was justly 30. Then we
have Alfred de Musset, Gerard
de Nerval, Privat d'Ahglemont,
Leopold Robert and Gavarni;
Steele. Fielding, Thackeray and
Ben Johnson--a'l were Bohemi-
ans. So was old Chaucer, also,
and Marlowe, Sucking, Herrick,
Gay and the divine Shakespeare.
OF the latter day Bohemians,
there are those whose history
would fill volumes and whose
namess are legion Poor, dead
and gone Harry Clapp in his day
was the king of Bohemians. =
He diel in Now York, when he
was counted among the foremost
Journalists OF his period. He
handled one Of the most saucy
and fearless pens Of any of the
old school of Bohemians that used
to congregate at Pfaafls on Broad
way. Harry made Pfaaff wealthy,
although he himself died poor
Clarp used to lunch there, and
one day the coffee and eggs so
impressed the famous Bohemian,
that he then and there wrote about
column puff of the caravansary,
but, although a puff, it was in
Clapp's best style, and he could
make the rsnkest kind OF a puff
SO witty and interesting that it
would be acceptable to any jour.
nal. Harry's dissertation on cof-
fee, and the articles that the other
Bohemian journalists wrote made
Pfaaff famous and he became rich,
And now nothing is too good for
a genuine member of the guild
there.

The Hollow square" ;"
New York Times.

iA'~" ~" Ah"S''l
The "hollow square, formation
that won the battle at Ell Teb il
undoubtedly formidable one in
these days Of long range rifles,
when the assailants can be exter-
minated long before they ever
reach the bayonet points. But
that infantry squares have been
broken by cavalry on more than
one occasion is now matter of
history. Authorities are still divid-
ed as to whether Victor Hugo was
right in affirming or Siborne in
denying that the French heavy
brigade drove in the face of a
British square at Waterloo. But
Montbrun's cuirassiers broke a
Russian square at Bcrodino in
1912, and Colonel Caulainceurt s
horse, in the same battle, actually
charged into an intrenched re
doubt. In the course of the
Anglo-Arabian war that followed
the annexation of Alden, in 1889,
an English square was attacked
in the open plain by a mass of
Abdali horsemen. The Arabs
forced their way in so far as to
kill several men in the third rank
and were then beaten off with
bayouets and clubbed muskets,
an occurrence utilized by James
Grant in one of his military nov
els. The Irish brigade had a
similar experience at Talavera.
$50, my Connaught boys" said
General Pictou to them after the
battle, "you let the Frenchmen
get into your square to- day, did
you?" "Well, your houor," an
swered brawny Irish grenadier,
with stern significance, "the
blackguards got in, sure enough,
but bedad! they never got out
again"

for the white foreigner Gin which term
we include the white descendants Of
foreigners born in the country par
amount position in the Government.
This is the bond of union which keeps
these heterogeneous elements to-
gether. The other party is more COM
pact. 1t would include the whole ma
tive race if personal enmity to, or at
least objection to, the King did not
cause certain number of Hawaiians
to stand alOof from it. It's binding
principle is Hawaii for the Hawaii
ans" Ii there were ever any doubt
as to this the course of events during
the electiOneering campaign, now so
near its close, has made ii unmistaka-
bly, evident.
For ourselves we are thoroughly
dissatisfied with the fundamental
principles of both parties. This coun-
try is neither for the Hawaiian nor
for the foreigner, but for both. We
want to see II third party grow up
amongst Us, party of conciliation,
party free from the vehement per-
sOnal hatreds, the narrowness of view,
that characteriZes the leaders of the
other two parties. Self-interest or sup
posed self-interest is the guiding inn
pulse of both these parties. The party
that we hope to see created and built
up, and ultimately triumphant here
will be one of statesmanlike princi-
pies ready to grasp and to deal effect
ually with all the social and political
problems that develop them selves in
this conglOmcrate community. A
party too of fairness and moderation
anxious to bring the two elements
which are now in conflict to a better
understanding, to impose on them
mutual fOrbearance, in fact to unite
them by making them forget the
petty aims with which they now
busy themselves, and join hands in a
compromise which shall give us an
amended constitution, improved
statute law, better methods of admin.
istratiOn, and more energy for those
things which will develop the re
sources of the country. We know
with absolute certainty that there are
very many TO be found in the ranks
of both the existing parties who wish
this as much as we do. and we have
confident hope that it will not be
long before they are drawn towards
one another and begin TO work to-
gether as party. "Wanted-a
party" yet, this is the party that is
wanted that is coming, and that viii
bring with it great well being to this
country.

WE HAVE been taken to task by in
dividuals Of both parties for an expla-
nation of the position Of political af-
fairs in this country az given in last
Tuesdays issue. Neither side is will
ling 10 admit the truth Of our deduc-
tiOn from the facts that are before our
eyes and theirs. We may at some
other time devote ourselves to the re-
futatiOn OF the statements, and argu-
mentS that have been addressed to uE.
We know they have been advanced in
good faith, and are earnestly believed
in by those who have had far longer
experience in Hawaiian affairs than
ourselves. But to all Of them-tO both
sides alike-we would now simply say
that it is we'll for men sometimes TO
have the opportunity of seeing them
selves as others see them. There is
an old prOverb which is very applica-
BILE to this matter. 1t tells us that the
Iooker-on often sees most of the game.
We claim, in this case, to play the
part of the lOOker-on, and, as belong
ing to neither party, to be in position
to Judge better what are their charac-
and tendencies than any
member of either can. We re-aflirm,
without any hesitation, that the tend
ency of things since 1880, has been to
the formation of two distinct parties
here and that the real characteristics
Of these parties are that one is foreign
party and the other a native party. If

Bear and Child.

Henry Flynn, Of Inskip, Cal.
let his three-year old daughter ride
upon q horse that he was taking to-
pasture, and after she had ridden
about forty rods from home he
lifted her off the horse and told
her to run home. On returning he
found that the child had not reach
eel home. Going to the spot where
he saw her last he saw her tracks
in the sand. Search wBs made all
night in the forest for the lost
child. In the morning, as the
searchers was passing ID swampy
spot where the underground was
thick, they heard her voice. They
called to the little girl, and told her
to come out of the bushes. She re-
piled that the bear would not let
her. The men then crept through
the brush, and when near the spot
heard a splash in the water, which
the child said was the bear. They
found her standing upon log ex-
tending about half way across a
swamp. The bear had undertaken
to cross the sawmp on the log, and,
being pursued, left the child and
got away as rapidly as possible.
She had received some scratches
about the face, arms and legs, and
her clothes were almost torn from
her body; but the bear had not
bitten her to hurt her, only the
marks of his teeth being found on
her back, where he had taken hold
of her clothes to carry her. The
child says the bear put her down
occasionally to rest, and would put
his nose up to her face, whcrcupon
she would slap him, and the bear
would hang his head by her side,
and purr and rub against her like
a cat. The men asked her if she was
cold in night, and she told them the
old bear lay beside her, put 'arms
around her, and kept her warm,
though she did not like his long!

Furman's Formula.


AS many of our readers are in
tatuated with Judge Furman S
success as a farmer, we give below
his formula for making his celebra-
ted compost:
Take thirty bushels well rotted
stable manure or we'll rotted organ
ic matter as leaves, muck, etc.
and scatter it about three inches
thick upon a piece Of ground so
situated that water will not stand
on it, but shed off in every direc-
tion. The thirty bushels will weigh
about 900 pounds. Take 200
pounds of good acid phosphate,
which cost me $22.5O per ton, de-
liverd, making the 200 pounds
cost 1925, and 100 pounds kainit
which cost me, by the ton, $14 de-
liverd, or 70 cents for 100 pounds,
and mix the acid phosphate and
kainit thoroughly, then scatter
evenly on the manure. Take next
thirty bushels of green cotton seed
and distribute them evenly over
the pile and wet them thoroughly :;
take again 200 pounds of acid
phosphate and 100 pounds of kahn
it, mix and spread over the seed,
begin again on the manure and
keep on that way, building up your
heap layer by layer, until you get
it as high as convenient. Then
cover with six inches Of rich earth
from fence corners, and leave att
least six weeks; when ready to
haul to the field cut with spade
or pick-axc squarc down and mix
MS thoroughly as possible. Now we
hav" thirty bushels Of manure
weighing 900 pounds Of chemical
in the second layer, and these two
layers combined torn the perfect
compost. You perceive that the
weight is 2,4OO pounds.
