Puzzles In Relationship.

A strange relationship exists in the
family of a couple of Englishmen in this
state. Some ten years ago two brothers
named Beers came to this country from
England and settled on a small farm in
Menefee county. Things prospered with
them, and soon one of the brothers,
Philip, becoming tired Of lonely life on
the farm, wooed and won Miss Lizzie
johnson, a young rural beauty. They
were married and lived happily together
nearly eight years. Something, how
ever, disturbed the harmony Of their
married life, for last summer Philip ap-
piled for and obtained divorce. Life
seemed to have lost all charms for him.
In the mean time the other brother,
Louis, also tired of the unlHcky lot Of
the lone bachelor, began TO cast about
him for a helpmate, and must have dis
covered in his brothers late wife the
sum Of all his future happiness, for the
little village near which the brothers re-
sided was one day suddenly electrified 20
hear that Louis and the grass widow
had been made one. The news came 10
Philip, who simply smiled and replied.
Never mind; my inning comes next.
Little attention was paid to the rr-
mark, and certainly no one thought OF
the strange denouement that would fol
low. The ordinary routine life of the
mountain village went smoothly on IN
til, only day or SO ago, the villagers
were astonished to hear that Philip
| Beers and Mrs. johnson, his ex-wife's
mother and his brothers mOther-in-law,
had been quietly married Then there
was CONSERVATION in the family of Mrs.
| Louis Beers.
The neighbors and friends of the
several parties are now busily engaged
trying to figure out the relationship OF
the several parties to each others rela-
tives. - Kentucky Cor. Philadelphia

Church Endowment.

1t is proposed to have sale of
such things as may be collected, in
Christ Church school room, Kona,
Hawaii, in December next, for the
Church Endowment Fund.
The work of the Church in that
district for the past twenty years has
been supported chiefly by funds from
England. This support may at any
time be withdrawn, and there is no
hope of raising suitable income for
a minister in the district.
An appeal is made to all persons
interested in the continuance of the
ministrations of the Anglican Church
in Kona, to contribute articles for the
proposed sale.
Parcels of goods sent to the Rev.
S. Davis, Kealakekua, Kona, Hawaii,
any time during the year, will be
stored for the sale.

A Great Day I'm China.

Within short time the great day for
state worship will again come in China.
At the coming of the winter solstice the
whole nation is supposed to pray, at least
in the person of the emperor. This great
worship takes place at night. The EN-
peror squats on the bottom of a great
elephant car, and drawn by the white
elephant which the king Of Siam sent
him, is escorted by 2, 900 grandees, princes
and attendants, while bands of music
play along the way to the great temple.
He first goes into the palace Of fasting.
There he meditates before a copper statue
representing priest with his mouth Gov
cred by his fingers, indicating silence.
Upon the altar of heaven he should
sacrifice burnt animals-calves, hares,
sheep and pigs. How this worship will
take place, now that the altar of heaven
is burned down, do not know; but the
occasion may call out some expressions
of opinion from different parts of the
empire which will be more or less dan
gerous -Frank G.. Carpenter in National
Tribune

The KOna Election.

Mr.. EDITOR: Over one hundred
properly and duly registered voters
in the North Kona district, Hawaii,
were not allowed to vote for the
Road Board. The why is best
known to the Minister of Interior,
or those appointed by him to act as
inspectors of election. According
to law, the above voters had per-
feet right to u vote for the Road
Board. 1t may or may not have
been a conspiracy; still it looks
like it on the part of some person or
persons. We demand new cleo
ton for Road Board. The late
election cannot be held as a legal
one.
The Road Board, as it stands at
present, is composed of the sheriff,
the magistrate or ex-magistrate
This commission lately expired,
and has not been renewed)-and
the postmaster at Kailua, all three
holding other Government posi-
tiOns. The two latter know how
to make roads or spend the money
about as much as the baby in fact
it might be said that, as the post
master has the control of all Gov.
eminent lands in North KOna, as
the tax assessor and also agent for
the homestead lots, he can control
the most vOtes-may be so. How
ever, he holds too many Govern
ment positions to be proper per
son for the Road Board. Apropos
of the homestead lots, the law here
is mostly a dead letter-neithel
fencing or building is being done
on quite u number Of the lots. But
dear me, Sir, that may all help tc
induce voting for J. K. Kaelame'
kule. If we cannot get a good
Road Board, or better Government
officials, we will all grow grey
headed travelling over bulIock-trails
and Kona Akau remain an unde
velOped district,

They Knew all
About Watches.

We had been talking in a general
way in the smoking car, says
writer in the Detroit Free Press,
when an oldish man with a very
innocent expression of countenance
suddenly turned and said:
"Gentlemen, I've been sort O
lookin round Chicago for three or
four days, and kinder imagine |
got swindled in buying a watch.
Here it is, and l wish you'd look at
it and give me your opinions. |
haint travelled around much and [
don't know many of the tricks of a
big, bed city, but l hate to think l
don't know huff not to bite at a
swindle. Jest look it over and tell
me what you think"
1t seemed to be gold watch and
the works appeared to be in good
order, but the first man who took 1t
in hand investigated it moment or
two and said:
"Well, old man, if you paid more
than $50 for that thing, you've been
bitten"
81 hev, Ell? That's about what l
had concluded"
81 should say" observed a sec
ond man after thorough investiga-
ton, "that if [ had my choice be-
tween $50 bill and this watch, I'd
take the bill. I've seen better at
SIS"
whats your opinion?"asked the
old man, as he handed it to third.
"Humph! You won't get mad?'
ooh, mop
off you have been swindIed you
want to know it?''
II do"
"Well, sir, | used to be an agent
for factory in Connecticut which
turned out better looking watches
than this at So apiece for the
trade"
"For the land sakes" gasped the
old man. and he settled back III his
seat and looked so heart broken
that no one felt like saying more to
him. An hour later, when [ found
him alone and apparently in better
spirits, | sat down beside him and
asked:
GLOW much did you really pay
for that watch, anyhow" He pulled
out his wallet, hunted out the bill
which was from one of the best
iewelry houses in Chicago, anC
showed me the figures. The price
of the watch was 1915, with s
guarantee on the bill for five years
"And I've been in the watch
business myself for thirty-twC
years" he chuckled as | returned
the paper.
"But what was your object?"
asked.
"Just to prove to myself ovel
again that everybody likes to be
lieve that everybody else has beer
taken in and done for; and tina
not one man in twenty knows hal
what he thinks he knows, especi
ally about watch"
If the public would bear in minC
that the guarantee of a responsible
dealer is more to be relied upon
than the dishonest opinions of thei
friends, or interested contempora
ries, they would not hesitate lons
where to buy their watches. For

A Co-onerative Root FACTORY.

A striking proof of the steady progress
of the principle of cooperative produc
ton was given Friday at Leicester,
where over 500 delegates from all parts
of the kingdom assembled to assist at
the formal opening of the largest coop
erative boot and shoe factory in the
world. The factory stands on six acres
of ground. The buildings cost $3.50, 900,
and when fitted with machinery the to-
tai outlay will have been $25O,O0O. The
working capital will be 100000, and
the factory will be able to turn out So
600 pairs of boots every week. This huge
enterprise has been and will continue to
be managed by workingmen, and the
men who make the boots will share in
the profits earned by their labor.-Lon-

A Voice from KOna.
N. Kona, Hawaii, Feb. Is, l89

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of
the 9th inst. appeared a letter
signed Taxpayer of Kona," and
headed GLOW we do Things in
Kona, Hawaii"
AS the letter in question does not
express the sentiments of the peo-
pie here, l cannot imagine who the
eve" may be. Have we, indeed,
here lurking on the sunny slopes
of Kona, among our pleasant coffee
groves, some secret society whose
members stab in the dark when
ever they cannot have their own
way? Had this letter appeared in
some popular native paper, it would
have caused deal of fun among
the people, who would have
thought it some clever burlesque,
and l myself am at loss whether
to ascribe it to Mr.. MiIler's friends
or enemies. On the simple fact of
Mr.. G.. ID. Miller's name not appear
ing on the printed ballots for the
Road Board your correspondent has
built such q cruel, malicious structure
of inuendo and suspicion as only a
base mind could conceive and Mr..
Kaelemakule's friends, among whom
he counts the wholesale merchants
of Honolulu and many high Govern
ment officials of the past and pres
ent, who have had dealings with
him, will smile at the idea of his
being party to conspiracies i'm
plying the suppression of letters in
his post office-for what else can
the writer mean by his base inu-
endo?
Regarding that portion of the
letter which relates to myself,
shall adhere to my resolution Of
ignoring anonymous slanderers
and L could wish that editors o.
respectable newspapers were indie
pendent enough to refuse all that
kind of correspondence. Yours
truly. W. MULLER.

the sake of experiment was painted
with Carbolineum Avenarius, and
the other left implanted were buried
and after a lapse of three years dug
up and examined. The result was
that the wood to which the Carlo
lineum Avenarius had been applied

other was found to be in rotting
condition."

Curious Recovery of Lost Records.

Curious Recovery of Lost Records.
Gorham met with Il serious loss over
twenty years ago About 1871 it was
discovered that book containing the
earliest town records, from its incorpora-
ton in 1854 to 1915, was missing. The
town offered a reward for its return and
many individuals joined in the search,
but hope of finding these records was
abandoned long ago. Last week, how
ever, the express brought from Boston a
package containing three books in excel
lent preservation, without any explana-
ton. One of them was the early rec
ords of Gorhan. The other two books
contained the marriages, births and
deaths of the inhabitants of the town
from 1864 to 1922. Lewiston Journal.

A burned pinafore has been the cause
of curious debate. A girl belonging
to the Cuckoo Lane schools, at Hanwell,
belonging to the city of London and st.
Savour's union. dropped the chalice at a
communion service and stained the pima

dered the pinafore not to be washed, but
to be destroyed. As it belonged to the
ratepayers the managers inquired his
authority for destroying their property.
The chaplain pleaded the precedent
that old Bibles are destroyed in the same
way, but offered to buy new pinafore.
The managers however are determined
not to let the matter rest, and two COM
