saloon and asked for quarters; he passed
out, as he supposed, two half dollars,

take he Immediately drove to his house
and learned that such was the fact.
He was rewarded with FIVE dollar
piece for his honesty.

A hack containing some native
women collided with the corner of the
immigration Depot fence yesterdayafter-
noon while on the way to the Branch
Hospital beyond. The horse became
frightened at the noise Of the
collision and started to run. He
ran from the Depot until he
reached the bridge this side of the
Hospital when he was stopped by the
hard pulling of the hackman. If he
had continued running there would
doubtless have been an accident at the
turn of the road near the Branch Hos
pital.
Last Wednesday afternoon Mr.. H.
Armitage, Passenger Agent for the
|. |. S. N. Co., whose office is at Will
lions photograph gallery on Fort
street, left his vest containing a silver
watch hanging by his desk in the pho
parlor and went out collect
ing. When he returned the watch was
gone. When Mr.. Armitage left the
gallery he fortunately took gold
watch and a fine quartz chain mounted
with diamonds, which needed repairing,
down to Wenner & Co.'S. AT first it
was supposed to be joke played by
some OF the boys around the gallery
but investigation proved it to be an
in-earnest-you-bet steal.

will catch the festive quarter Tor the

question will be solved when men quit

teal question of human suffrage will be
solved in the same manner-when men
stop voting and tyrants cease ruling;
that the. gayest of the .Benedicts refuses
10 be yoked; that the loves Of the
angels do not relate to Hawaii; that
cried to go to Hilo by the
asst Kinan; that the employees of the

nanled; that the candidates of the OPP

Die don't back things up.
