and waved in the air, clutching at
the frantic victim, and from a hid
eous barrel shaped body two bead
like eyes over a wicked looking
beak watched the struggles of the
boy, as it tried to fasten more Sc
curely to its prey.
The boy was in the grasp of the
tentacles of a huge octopus, which
had been left by the tide and was
lurking under the kelp.
his COMPANION COMES TO THE
RESCUE.
The boys companion was brave.
He dashed into the water to the
rescue, and, Selling the tentacle
that still gripped firmly, he sue
ceeded in loosing its hold, and both
boys scrambled upon the rocks in
to safety.
The two boys, as soon as they
recovered from the shock of the
fright, resolved to dislodgc the
monster and if possible capture
him. So they gathered a pile of
stones and began a bombardment,
! which soon drove the creature from
the pool.
With its tentacles waving angri-
ly in the air the octopus rapidly
scurricd over the rocks toward the
sea, and before its Would-be captors
could cut off its retreat the devil
fish had reached the sea and disap-
reared in the waves.
The boys then returned to the
pool to see what the creature had
been feeding on. They tugged
away at the tangle Of kelp, and as
they dragged it from the water
they started back in dismay, for as
the dripping stems of the kelr
emerged something came up aft, I
it that was not seaweed.
THEN CAME ANOTHER DEVIL FISH.
1t was the tentacle of a large
devil fish that was beating the
water into foam. The creature
was enraged, for other tentacles
appeared wildly waving in the ali
and then whipping the water, dash
ing it all about the boys.
The latter having lost the first
octopus were now determined to
capture the one still in the pool.
After a desperate struggle they
landed the creature on the rocks
and forced it into a sack.
In triumph they carried their
prize to this city and displayed il
to the eager gaze of the people,
while they narrated with pride theil
thrilling adventure which resulted
in the capture of the devil fish.

Democracy, by voice and act of its

HARD TIMES IN AMERICA

The host of the unemployed III
the United States has now become
so large as to be serious menace
to the peace in all the leading
cities. San Francisco is said to
have $1,000 of this class and the
metropolitan district on New York
bay mas hardly less than half a
million. The whole grand army
of tramps is greater than was the
grand army of Napoleon and as times
grow harder for it and as the spec
tacle of such luxurious expenditure
as that of the plutocratic class
in New York city becomes more
offensive, the gravest forebodings
about the future are justified. What
will happen if the distinctions be
tween the sharpest poverty and the
most opulent wealth cannot be
mitigated? What if the legions Of
the unemployed increase? These
are some of the pressing problems
of American craftsmanship.
Bad as the present condition
seems to be, it is likely to be made
worse by the perpetuation Of
the causes that have had
most to do with producing it.
Where a million of men
can find no work, the policy Of
letting half a million a year come
into the country as immigrants to
compete with them for jobs that do
not exist, is most suicidal. What
America needs is to close her ports
for long period of years not only
against the Chinese but the
European peasant. 1t is he who is
starving his fellow, workingman
in the United States. 1t is he who
has glutted the labor market
and who makes the tramp
out of the artisan. And it is his
suppression that is needed before
American labor, born and natur
allied, can get a fair show in its
own land. Temporary relief may
perhaps be had by financial legis-
lation; but permanent cure will
not come until American statesmen
cease to overload the digestive APP
paratus of their country with raw
foreign material.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH DEVIL-FIsH.


PACIFIC GROVE, February ~
Two boys to-day, while hunting
for abalones, a toothsome species
of mollusk found on the Pacific
Coast, had an exciting encounter
with two devilfsh, and after a
severe struggle they drove one into
the sea, captured the other and
carried him off in triumph.
Among the many pastimes enjoy
ed by the inhabitants of this city
abalone hunting is one largely in
dulged in, both on account of the
beauty Of the shell of this mollusk
and also the delicacy Of the meat.
For the past three or four weeks
people have lined the beach and
rocks III search of them.
To-day two boys, Lester Elaner
and Leslie Oliver, about seventeen
and eighteen years Of age, thought
it would be profitable undertak-
ing to go out by the Point Pinos
lighthouse and try their luck among
the large masses of rocks there.
They equipped themselves with the
requisite materials, such as sacks,
large iron hooks, small crowbars,
ETC., and started on their long
tramp for the lighthouse. They
arrived at their destination at ebb
tide, and proceeded to hunt for the
shells. Abalones, as a rule, fasten
themselves to the under surface of
large rocks.
THE LAIR OF THE OCTOPUS.
While the boys were scrambling
among the rocks they came across
a large crevice filled with water.
Kelp was floating on the surface of
the water in this black pool, and
amid the tangle of tawny whip-like
stems, bulbs and masses of leaves
bubbles arose in quick succession
as if the water was boiling. The
curiosity of the boys was thorough
ly aroused by this apparent phenom-
non, and after watching the bub-
bling water a while they decided
to investigate. One of them leap
ed over the pool, and leaning over
the edge closely examined the kelp.
What he finally espied in the brown
floating mass of weeds he thought
was the tail of an eel.
Reassured by his conclusion, and
with the knowledge that eels are
perfectly harmless, he grabbed for
the object and his hand closed firm
ly on it.
A 'rENTACLE GRASPED HIS ARM.
Then a strange occurrence hap
pened. Like the long lash of a
whip curling at the end of stock
welded by an expert driver, swift
ly uprose from the dark waters a
purplish, mottled thing which fast
ened itself like a snake about the
outstretched arm of the boy.
A short, sharp cry followed the
look of terror that came into the
lads eyes, and his face turned white
as the sands on the beach. With
impetuous motion he attempted to
withdraw his hand, but the Shiny
thing chung to him, and the boy
was dragged into the pool. Then
more of those horrible snake-like
appendages thrust themselves up

In our salutatory to the read
ers of the HAWAIIAN STAR we
will conhne ourselves strictly to
matters in which the public,
without regard to factions, is
deeply interested.
We might embOdy a lot OF
statistics that would interest one
portion of the readers and be
cast aside as "slush' by as many
more, in this instance we will
give facts regarding certain
things.
We have already published a
notice OF the granting OF patents
for the Zones Fence" Our
reasons for asking for the patents
were obvious-one OF them-be-
cause certain people on the ISL
ands, recognizing the superiority
OF the locked fence, contempla-
ted manufacturing it for sale.
When we get hold of a good
thing we like to keep it, and
keep it good, hence the patents.
The following letter from a
gentleman who savez fences
and cattle as well as anyone on
the Islands, is what we consider
pretty good recommendation
for the Jones Locked Fence:

E, R. HENDRY, Esq.
Manager Hawaiian Hardware
Co.,
Honolulu.
Dear Sir,
| have just completed some
three miles of the Zones Lock
Fence" and must say that | am
very much pleased with it; in
fact, it is the fence for ranch. |
had about a mile to construct
over "Pahoe hoe" where it was
nearly impossible to get a post
down, and found in this case
especially the "Jones Fence"
was a great saving of labor.
There are places in this fence
where the posts are at least =
feet apart, and the space be-
tween filled with stays. There
is no sag to it, and it is as springy'
as a wire mattress. | am con-
fident that it will turn any ordi-
nary stock. | have some two
and a half miles more to con-
struct over country where wild
cattle are very plentiful, and as
soon as it has undergone the best
there, will write you further.
If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land, and | feel con-
hdent it will, you can rest as
sured that 1t will turn most any
thing, except lava flow.
Very truly yours,
J. MONSARRAT.

vince the doubling Thomas, we
