MAUI HAPPENINGS
Mr. and Mrs. Dickey's Silver
Wedding.

By far the greater number of social
events known as surprise parties are
misnomers, the name signifying for
the most part merely infornaiity;
but last Saturday evening. May q,
witnessed one in all perfection, tie
occasion being a celebration OF the
twentytift anniversary of the mar
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. H. Dickey,
of Haiku. The rendezvous was at
the residence of Hon. II. P. Baldwin,
where sixty ladies and gentlemen
waited impatiently for s o'clock to
strike, and then slowly and silently
began their promenade to the dwell
ling just above, while the young
moon, shining family above, must
have thought them a band of con-
spirators on some desperate mission
bent. The amazement of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dickey was too real to have
been counterfeited, and, Judging by
the joyous shouts of greeting, there
was little resentment for this unan
nounced intrusion upon their domes
tic ''dolce far niente."
After many congratulations there
was the loosening of parcels, the IN
tleing OF papers, curiosity and admir-
alton for the pretty souvenirs apropos
to the occasion. Then the guests be-
came quiet for a moment and
gathered around, while two most
unique cakes were presented unique
from the fact that fifty silver dollars
added charm and interest to their
icings
Solos, appropriate to the occasion,
were sung by Mrs. Gulick and Miss
Irene Stiles. At 10 PM, after re-
freshments, the guests began to de.
part, but not before paying all sorts
of compliments and wishing all that
is best to MIR. and Mrs. Dickey.

LARCENY OF PEACHES.
Ulupalakua being in the same
district with Waikiki, Judge Kealo-
ha, famous for his hair splitting de-
cisions, has been occupying the
judicial chair of Wailuku Police
Court during the interim between
resignation and appointment of a new
police justice. During Tuesday, May
81, a prisoner was brought into the
dock charged with the larceny of
peaches. He admitted the purloin-
ing of the fruit from the tree, but his
attorney affirmed that the fruit, so
long as it remained on the tree, was
real estate, and that no larceny could
be committed until the fruit dropped
to the ground, when it became per-
sonal property. Now, it was declared
by old English law that no theft of
real estate is possible, and so asked
for the acquittal of his client, as the
peaches had never touched Mother
Earth, and so no larceny could have
been perpetrated. The Judge, after
a minute and lengthy disqnisition,
Endorsed the lawyers rendering and
discharged the prisoner at the bar.
Moral: Shake your peach trees if
you wish to retain the fruit.
