Fire at Rikiki.

y few minutes before three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon word was received
in this city that the residence OF Mr.. q.
D. Freeth at Waikiki was on fire. On
arriving at the scene this proved incor-
rect, as the fire was confined To a barn
owned by Mr.. Freeth. and barn, a
three-roomed cottage and Il woodshed
owned by Mr. ~ J. Cartwright, all ad-
joining each other. There was a scarcity
OF water, and consequently nothing
could be done TO save the above build
ings from destruction. Mr. Cartwright's
residence. which Is close to these build
ings, was probably saved by the number
OF hao trees growing ON that side OF the
house where the fire took place. The
barn and cottages had only recently
been erected, and in the woodshed were
about four cords OF firewood. The dam
age to Mr.. Cartwright's property is
about $4,000, which Is fully covered by
insurance. The barn owned by Mr..
Freeth was an old building, and not in
sured There was strong wind blow
ing to sea at the time, or else the de
struction to property might have been
greater. The origin OF the fire is not
known. \ large number of citizens
visited the scene OF the fire during the

Farming On a System which Requires
Work During the Entire Year.
That system of farming which gives
employment to only four or five month";
in year is ruinous one. 1t is no
difference whether the farm be devoted
to grain and grass raising with suffi-
Gent quantity of hogs and cattle to eat
the food raised on the farm, or any
other products. There should be such
arrangements made that profitable en-
ployment will last all winter. 1t is I'M
reasonable to expect a sufficient profit
On five months labor to pay mortgages,
educate the children, furnish the farm
with all of the necessities and reasona-
BILE luxuries which an industrious and
intelligent farmer can and ought to
have, to ornament the home. the house,
lawn, orchard, and give life and happi-
ness to all of the surroundings.
The pastures ought to take care of
and feed the hogs and cattle during the
summer, while the force on the farm
are raising and harvesting the crops,
and then in the winser fatten the hogs
and fatten the cattle, as do all good
feeders who have quarters to protect
them in comfort and health. If YOU
have dairy, have at least as many, if
not more, fresh cows in winter as in
summer. 1t is o better time to raise
calves by hand, and butter usually
brings better price. The COWS have
to be kept anyhow, and the better they
are fed the more profitable they will be-
All branches of industry are to be
crowded, large profits are to cease,
economy will have to be exercised in ali
departments, and a more constant in
dustry will have to be exercised. 1t will
be the source of more happiness and
contentment. Besides the sources of
winter employment named, there are
hundreds of ways to which an enterpris-
ing farmer can turn the products
OF the farm SO as to make them
more profitable and less expensive
to ship to market There is a change
going on in this respect, and he
who neglects to keep pace with the
advance of the times will find him.

first step towards continuous, profitable
winter employment. Any other course
means poverty, increased mortgages,
and eventual sale, and a removal to

yesterday morning on the charge of

The poor young fellow was almost
paralyzed with fright, and becoming
somewhat uneasy at his condition, I
pulled out flask of brandy and gave
him pretty stiff dpink.l After the
liquor had partially restored his facul-
ties said to him: Now, Mas, brace
up and be a man. tell you that Ju is
an awful coward and will run just as
soon as you point pistol at him. Just

When we got to the appointed place
the Major and his protege were already
there. Ju was sight. His eyeballs
were rolling, his cheeks were as ashen
as they could get under the peculiar
pigment of his cuticle, and no wonder,
for in the Major buggy were two huge
pistols of revolutionary origin, with flint
locks, a half gallon syringe, a monkey
wrench and a pair of horse clippers.
The Major saluted me in grave, for
NAL manner returned it as gravely
and formally. Tying our horses to con-

functions not to stir, the Major and re-

We gave the heroes another drink
and placed them in position, ten PAGES
apart, pistol in hand. The Major won
the word, and gave it generously:
'Fire! one-tWo-t hree!"
There was terrific report, vast
cloud of smoke, and both men lay
prone upon the ground. I rushed to
Ananias and raised him up. The huge
