m UR aim since the or
~ ganization of the firm
has been to supply the
people of Honolulu with
first class furniture at "A
N e d iu m price. Th o
growth of the business is
the best evidence we can
offer as a verification
that we have never di-
verged from our motto.
In this advertisement
we call your attention in
a general way to the var
ious articles of furniture
we carry by submitting
a few designs of pieces
that should be in every
home.
CHINA CLOSETS are as
much in demand as bed
steads, they are no long
er in the list of luxuries;
the craze for collecting
odd bits of China or brio
a brac, and the desire to
keep them IN a conven-
lent place for showing
to one S friends, has made
the China closet indis-
pensable. We have them
in various styles, single
or double, for wall or
corner. Those in an
/tique oak are fashionable
because they are service
able, the durability of
] be finish on oak has the
seffiect of making them al
ways appear new.

Where Franklin Flew His Kite.

Colonel Enoch Taylor of this city,
speaking of the researches Of the sa-
wants into the va2aries Of lightning, re-
marked that probably there were few
people who over gave thought when
they crossed Spring Garden street III
the vicinity Of Thirteenth street that
they were walking over the spot where
Benjamin Franklin flew his kite. Yet
such is the fact. A diagonal line from
the southeast corner of what is now
known as Thirteenth street to Spring
Garden will about cover the space in
which Poor Richard" drew lightning
from the clouds. 1t was a bare field
then. with few farms and country
houses scattered around. Bostonians
fondly imagine that it was on Boston
Common Franklin conducted his expert
ments. That's mistake 1t was in the
Quaker City and on the spot referred to.

Ending tho Press Gang.

It was not an easy matter to get
married in press gang times. Robert
Miller, a kirkwall man, found this to
be the case. He returned from the
whalefishing one autumn, fully resolved
that he should take unto himself wife.
But the press gang got on his track, and
he soon saw that if he was to get his
hearts desire he would require to exert
both pluck and perseverance. At length
the fateful night arrived. The company
had gathered, and the minister was in
the house Of the bride, prepared to pro-
coed with the ceremony, when the
dreaded press gang made its appearance
Ladies are not unusually of q belliger-
ent disposition, but when they saw, as
in this instance, the likelihood of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers
they rose up i'll wrath against them.
They assailed tho members of the press
gang both with tongue and missiles, SO
that these gentlemen were glad to beat
q hasty retreat. After this little episode
q back window of the house was lifted.
and the bridegroom, dressed in woman Is
clothes, bounded into the room. The
doors having been barricaded to prevent
n surprise, the clergyman proceeded to
perform the ceremony, and surely no
bridegroom was ever married in such a
strange garb! Miller was never cap
tured. He lived to a ripe old age and
was the first beadle Of the kirkwall
Free church. Journal.

Not SO Sanguine, Please.

The Republican, Davenport's new
paper, seems so anxious to prove its
party loyalty that it is making IL
self ridiculous in political way.
One would infer from an editorial in
yesterdays issue that the democrat
ic party of Scott county was in n
state Of collapse and decentralization.
and that the republicans would make
n clean sweep next month. Such
talk may have the effect of accelerat-
ing the heartbeats of few weak
minded and over-zealous republi-
cans, but it will not preceptibly de-
crease the democratic majority. In
fact. it is likely to increase the DEM
ocratic votc-if it were possible to
do SO without making it unanimous
and thereby more forcibly refute
the Republicans glazing falsehood.
But then it is to be remembered that
Editor Cook is comparatively a
stranger in Scott county and he may
never have carefully observed the
election returns from that particular
locality. Experience is wise teach
er, and after Mr.. Cook has gone
through one campaign in Iowa's
most gallant democratic county, he
will be better qualified to forecast
election results-that is IL he is able
to survive the ..trying ordeal"

An Impossible Sacrifice,

A Hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak, the Hungarian statesman. used
to get rid Of troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story: "Once,
when in Paris, Napoleon and I paid a
visit to hospital for old soldiers Here
he perceived among the rest man who
had lost one of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him. Where did
you lose your arm!' asked the emperor.
AT Austerlitz, your majesty Then
no doubt you curse the emperor and
your country every time you look at
your mutilated limb No indeed, pro-
tested the veteran, for the emperor and
my native land would readily sacrifice
my other arm if needs be. ~ can hardly
believe that the emperor remarked
and passed on. But the soldier, anxious
to prove that he was in earnest, imme.
diately drew saber from its sheath and
Topped oft his other arm"
Here Deak would pause and fix o
penetrating look on his visitor. well,
what have you to say of such a man
and such an action:'' "A most sublime
act of self sacrifice! A truly noble char
acter" This was the style of reply in
variably given. "But the story has one
flaw" he would gravely add. "What
is that, pray" 1T is simply imprac-
ticable. How could q one armed man
contrive to cut off his only remaining
arm?''

NJ. Daudet, the eminent French au-
thor, was for q long time an usher in q
second rate school on a pittance which
scarcely sufficed to keep body and soul
together. After a time he grew sick of
this hard and unremunerative kind Of
work; and then made his way to Paris,
where he arrived with only a capital of
two shillings and a bundle of poems.
He was fortunate enough to find pub
Usher for the latter almost at once. and
it was not very long before he obtained
journalistic employment, which kept
him going until he found novel writing
sufficiently lucrative to provide him
with u living. Now he can command
almost any price he likes to ask for his
books and articles, and must be q very
wealthy man.-Paris Letter.

"You have heard of the railroad dog,
Of course" said Cy Warman. ''Every-
body has. but I'll venture to say that
you never heard of railway cat. Well,
l used to have one. You know used
to fire on the Rio Grande Western. l
got mixed up with one of those big
mountain climbers in wreck one time,
and after that quit the business cold
and turned poet. Well, now for the tab
by.
"You know the exploits of the rail
road dog have been recounted in divers
places-how he saved q train and the
lives of the passengers from a fathom-
less pit or dark yawning abyss and all
that. Those are all stories of the rail-
reader, of which the dog is the hero Of
the hour. My yarn is not like those old
stories, for pussy was too we'll trained
to do anything SO rash as to save train
and thereby endanger her own life. In
the first place, puss was pet Of the
landlady where most Of the railroad
men boarded, and in consequence the
cat took liking to railroading.
"She was a remarkable traveller, and
she preferred the tender Of freight To-
connective to a Pullman palace car. When
the train would have a long wait at a
side track or station, Miss Puss would
descend from her perch on the pile Of
coal, or if the weather was inclement
from the seat of the engineer, where she
would sit looking out on the track be-
yond and go in hunt Of mice, and If it
was lunch hour would hunt up the
kitchen door Of the depot eating house.
She was a great favorite and always had
the best the house afforded. She was q
beautiful cat. Her fur was jet black,
and when the engine was running down
the steep grades Of the mountains she
would hold her place on the top of the
tender with all the grace and dignity
imaginable, and if the wind was blow
ing she would ruff1e up her black coat
of fur as though entering a protest.
Puss never missed o trip all the time I
was on the road after she took the rail-
road fever.
when left the Western, puss had
big black monster that had carried her
so many miles. I remember the day l
went out to bid the big inanimate OBJ
ject goodby. was very much attached
to it. Why not? We had gone through a
wreck together, and it had received the
brunt of q collision with big rock. I
looked at tho engine, which was steam
cd up ready to start on its trip, and
soon saw puss mount to her perch on
the coal. I spoke tenderly to her, and
she arched her back and purred know
ingly. When l bid the boys goodby and
called her, she came part way, looked
up at me in aa undecided manner and
finally gave pitiful meow and walked
off toward the engine again. She kept
up her habit for several years after that
and finally was crushed to death in a
wreck. She was found curled up on the
box by the side of the inanimate form
Of the engineer. Both had died at the
