THE OLD SETTLER.
Two Deer at One Shot Not Extraordinary
According to Precedent.

bagged two deer at one shot, and
there was great diversity of opinion
atthe tavern as to whether the hunt
.er had actually done it or not, says
the New York Sun. Some profess
ed to believe it, while others loudly |
proclaimed that they would bet a
little something that there wasn't a
word of truth in it. The Squire
was among the latter, and the Old
Settler coming in when the discus
sion was at its height, he was plac-
ed in possession Of the disturbing
news.
"W'at-a We think bout it, Ma
ior?" asked the Squire.
"Who were the hunter?" said
the Old Settler, sitting down, and
assuming wise and judicial air.
"Baisly Cronk," said the Squire.
"Of Cronk HIP" asked the Old
Settler.

"Dunno nothin' bout his gum"
"Did you hear wuther he werepa-

"Durn his patience! Do y be-
lieve he got them two deer at one
shot, or don't y'?"
"Were tina anything said bout
his waiting till he see the whites Of
their eyes?"
"See here, MAORI" exclaimed
the Squire, his patience exhausted.
"Be [ a witness in britch O prom

y think bout Baisly Cronk gettin'
them two deer at one shot? Itdon't
make no Difference, ez a matter O
that, wat y think; but watts all
this here rig'marole O your'n got
to do with it?"
Squire said the Old Settler
blandly, and without feather ruff
fed, "alluz load yer gun heavy anC

you don't git enough bar meat an(

Tha's perceedents fer it.
There was a look of mingled di
gust and commiseration on til
Squire's face as he stood for a M
ment gazing at the Old Settle
Then he exclaimed;
"Mebbe tina is perceedents fer

melancholy fact, muttered: Cool

The Old Settler bristled a little,
and there was q little warmth in his
tongue as he remarked:

morning: 'M'riar,' 1 says, seems

she.
"B'gosh!' says l. That's it!'
TheSquire's response to thissallJ
of the Old Settler was lost in the
burstof laughter that the latter call
ed forth, and when quiet was re
stored he was serene and good-na

Ever since this Constitution had
been promulgated the native people
had been dissatisfied. That feeling
was shown by the large audience of
Hawaiians now present, Many have
taken the oath to support the Con
stitution so that they could vote,
but they were nevertheless dissatis-
fed. The King had right to pro-
mulgate the Constitution, but this
was forced one. He then related
his position abroad at the time of
the revolution of 1887 and his recall;
the necessity which was forced on
him of sending his wife and child
back to their home in Italy, the
journey causing the death of his
child He spoke of the revolution
of July, 1889, and said that, at that
time, if it had not been for the vacil-
lating of the late King Kalakaua,
who should have given him assis-
lance with some of the Household
Troops, the present Constitution
would have been abrogated and
King Kalakaua would be alive to-
day. He did not to-day see any way
clear to obtain new Constitution.
Rep. Kaunamano spoke at length
in favor of the bill.
At IL the Committee rose and
took recess until 1:30 p. m.

CHARGE OF MANNING.
Peter Quinn Chews Off Tom Null
lens Ear.

About 10 o'clock this morning
man named Tom Mullen came to
the Station with his left ear chewed
off and blood dripping from the
part. DR.. Peterson was called and
dressed the wound. Mullen stated
that his ear was bitten off by Peter
Quinn, consequently a warrant was
issued for the latter's arrest on a
charge Of manning. Captain Ka-
mana and two officers arrested
Quinn near the Bay Horse Saloon.
He was under the influence of liquor,
and near the corner of King and
Bethel streets made an attempt to
get away, so that he had to be
thrown to the ground. The cause
of the trouble was as follows: Quinn,
who had luau last night, went into
the Bay Horse Saloon this morning
and made some remarks to Mullen,
who being angered threw bottle at
Quinn. The bottle missed the mark
and the men flew at each other.
During the scuffie they fell on the
floor, when Quinn bit Mullen's left
ear clean off, leaving just the top
part. The men had always been
enemies and when they came to-
gether would almost invariably have
scrap of some kind. Quinn will be
tried in the Police Court tomorrow.

The following choice bit of word painting
occurs in Hawthorne's Marble Faun:
"Women be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwork ready to fill
the tiny gap of every vacant moment. A
needle is familiar to the fingers of them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adroitly as her
pen; the woman's eye, that has discovered
a new star, turns from its glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn a casual
the advantage of us in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small, familiar, gentle in
terests of life, the continually operating in
fuences of which do so much for the health
of the character, and carry off what would
otherwise be dangerous accumulation of
morbid sensibility. A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line,
stretching from the throne to the wicker
chair of the humblest seamstress, and
keeping high and low in species of COM
munion with their kindred beings"
Housewives, while you ply the needle,
have you ever reflected on the vicissitudes
of life? See to it that your husbands pro-
vide for the future welfare of their families
by at once applying, for Policy in the
GETTY of the United States. No more
suitable gift could be offered to you.

Mr.. j. p. Blaze, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that state during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
ReUieW. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with a severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Baize
sent to the nearest drug store and got
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Re
NEEDY, of which he had often heard,
and took number of large doses.
He says the effect was wonderful and
in a short time he was breathing
quite easily, He kept on taking the
medicine and the next day was able
to come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaze
regards his cure as simply wonderful.
