A Young Man.

The editor of the twinkler is hav-
ing fame thrust upon him in the
American press. This is specimen
of several going the rounds, and is
from Virginia paper:
"Walter Smith, editor of the Ha-
waiian Star, who has been getting
himself into trouble by attacking
Claus Spreckels, is an enterprising
young man and graduate of Cor
nell. He was editor of the Ithaca
Journal for time, and then went
to California as correspondent for a
syndicate of Eastern papers. Then
he led a tilibustering expedition into
Southern California and narrowly
escaped getting shot. He did news
paper work on the San Francisco
papers for two years and finally
went to Honolulu. His friends pre-
dict that he will either be President
of the Hawaiian Republic or that he
will get himself hanged"
An Ohio paper uses the same
words as original, adding, "And the
newspapers of this country who
have been flooded with his Smiths
tales of woe on the island are hop,
ing that one or the other will take
place soon."

NEARLY A BIG BLAZE.
The Fire Department Called Out
But Not Needed.

The "ding dong" of the fire bell
at the Bell Tower was heard about
noon to-day. The telephone centrals
reported that there was a fire in a
cottage on King street near the cor
ner of Alapai street. The engine
companies responded promptly, but
the blaze had been extinguished
with the assistance of boys. The
fire was in yard adjoining Mr.. j.
B. Atherton's residence, on the Wal
kiki side, and was caused by a light
ed cigarette. A native family had
just moved into the house this day.
Two women were sitting in a room
in the upper story smoking, when
one after giving her cigarette a
final puff threw it out of the win
dow. The cigarette landed in the
dry grass outside and only few
minutes sufficed to cause big
blaze which increased at an alarm
ing rate. The grass was as dry as
finder. The women rushed out and
secured buckets of water, while as
sistance was attracted from the
street by their cries. The fire was
extinguished, but not before it had
come dangerously near an adjoining
house. The side of the house was
scorched, also the lattice work divid.

JOINED THE p. g. ARMY.
A Recruit From the q. g. 8. Adams
without Leave.

A U. S. sailor named Schroeder
was reported from the U. S. S.
Adams about two weeks ago and all
efforts to locate him we're without
success. On Saturday last Captain
Nelson heard that the deserter had
enlisted in the p. G.. army. This
Information was made known to
Captain Ziegler, in command of the
forces at the Government building,
and he stated that he would see the
Colonel about it. AT Z o'clock in
the evening Captain Juen of the Po-
lice went to the Government build
ing, but Captain Ziegler was absent.
Lieutenant King met the officer,
who stated his errand. The lieut.
enant said another officer had been
there earlier in the day about the
same man, and that he could not do
anything until Captain Ziegler re-
turned. Juen told him that he was
pretty sure that the man he was
after was the right person. The
lieutenant stated that the man, who
had enlisted seven or eight days
ago, gave the name Of Schrayler.
While the parley was going on
Juen saw Schroeder walking along
on the Waikiki side of the Govern
ment building in civilians clothes,
having presumably secured fur
Tough for the night. The man had
just come off duty. Juen waited un-
til Schroeder got outside when he
babe King goodnight and followed
him. Schroeder entered house on
the corner of King and Richards
streets. Juen followed him into the
house and invited him to the Sta
ton. When asked what his name
was he said Schrayler. Juen secured
description of the man through
the telephone, and a sergeant from
the U. S. S. Adams came and identi-
fed him. He was taken aboard.
Schroeder alias Schrayler, after de-
sorting from the Adams, enlisted as
p. &. soldier and served ever
since. Should it be proved that the
military authorities knew all the
time that he was deserter, the p.
G. will have some interesting expla-
nations to make to the U. S. repre-
sentatives.

Power of the Imagination.

'I never was more firmly convinced of the power of imagination" said man, ethan was by something that happened to me on the occasion of visit to friend. It had been an extremely hot day, and when went to bed at night the heat seemed almost insupportable. It seemed to me that if should open the door from my room into the hall it would make 8 little circulation and make the air more comfortable, and felt safe in doing this because am an early riser, and knew could get the door shut before any body was stirring in the morning. So I opened the door, with the pleasant result that I had anticipated, and when I went to close it in the morning found that I had opened not the door into the hall, but the door into closet.

An Unreasonable Mermaid.

''This here show business" said the dime museum man, ''ain't what it's cracked up to be by long shot. A mans allus runnin agin things that do him up."
 Whats troubling your" inquired the advance agent.
 "Why, that durn mermaid of mine is gettin me into debt over my head. Now, you know I've got the only genuine mer- maid on exhibition. She's maid of the sea, she is, living example of the storied nymphs of the wave of old, as my programmer says. pay her big salary, and she puts all my other attrac- tions in the shade. It would put your eye out to see the way the people look at her. I tell you, she's the greatest freak in the business, and the best of it is she's genooine. But to come down to cases, as I wuz saying, she keeps me in hot water all the time. There ain't 8 day that I don't have to do somethin special for her. don't dast refuse, for I can't get along without her in these dull times. Sometimes, though, she makes me crazy by her unreasonable requests. What do you suppose she wants now?"
 Couldn't imagine" replied the ad- vance agent, unless tits fresh sea water every day or something like that.'

A Plea For EgOism.

Ask yourself hard questions about yourself; find out all you can about your self. Ascertain from original sources if you are really the manner of man you say you are; if you are always honest; if you always tell the square, perfect truth in business deals; if your life is as good and upright at il o'clock at night as it is at noon; if you are as good a temper ance man at a fishing excursion as you are at a Sunday picnic; if you are as good when you go out of the city as you are at home; if, in short, you are really the sort of man your father hopes you are and your sweetheart believes you to be.-Panola (Tex.) Watchman.
