PAWNED HIS FALSE TEETH.
Wnd-Eyed Minnesota Man VIII,

A Wld-Eyed Minnesota Man Who
Was Crazy for Drink.
From the Minneapolis Tribune
The proprietor of the pawnshop sat back
of the counter with good-natured, self
contented smile on his face, as though at
peace with himself and the world. He
was waiting on a woman who had put a
sealskin cloak Fin hook at some forgotten
time iii the past, and who was at last all
but prepared to redeem it. She had the
money, but had lost her check. The pro-
prtetor would not deliver the cloak unless
she could produce the check or get some
reputable citizen to identify her. She left
in high dudgeon, declaring that she had
been insulted, and that it was pity that
people could not get what rightful.y be-
longed to them.
Where did l get those false teeth?' he
said, In reply to a question. We'll, say,
there's a funny story in connection with
those nibblers. A wild-eyed man rushed
upstairs the other night He informed me
In an excited manner that he was dead
broke, and was dyin' for a drink. He had
to have the booze 1t was a necessity"
Got anything to put up l asked. He
thought minute, and then said: Why
no; nothin' worth pawrin' thet's detach-

struck him, and he said: Say, what'll you

examination, and, as they were sound and
a good piece of work, let him have 81. 25
He hasn't been up since, and I guess he's

SYNOPSIS.
John Oldroyd, a returned South African
Inil.ior aire, is passing a few weeks at an
English village. having gone there from
London in search of relief from an attack
of rheumatism. On Christmas day he finds
himself quite alone at the Fair View Hotel
Although not usually fond of company he
is seized with the wish to have a companion
at his Christmas dinner, sad memories of
his past life expressing him more than ordi-
arily. He goes down to the coffee room
and inquiries if there is any other guest at
the hotel. AS he is speaking to the waiter
another guest, a young man, Arthur weston
by name comes in. to- whom OldrOyd sad-
dresses himself The invitation to dine is
accepted by Weston. They dine together
that evening, and Weston ccnfesses that he
has come down from London to borrow
money Of relative, whom he finds has gone
away. Something in the young mans man
her makes Oldroyd suspicious that he is in a
desperate frame of mind.

The reported discovery in the In

Il. B. Walker and w. II. Richard to
become Hawaiian citizens does not,
as stated by one Of our morning

on the affair. Even the editor Of
the said publication might apply for
a position as a common everyday
reporter, but whether he would get
it or not is another thing. The
question, and the only question in

Walker applied for naturalization,
but whether they got it. That is

Timely Topics
MAY 7, 1895.


Yesterday witnessed one of
the quietest elections ever held
in Honolulu or elsewhere. 1t
was a good deal like some of
the elections in the South
American republics where you
always vote the government
ticket or stay away from the
polls. Although only ~
votes were cast, that number
was even larger than was ex-
pected.
Talking about the election,
however, reminds us that we
have just received a novelty in
the shape of a newly invented
can opener, which is simplicity
itself. 1t is called the A. B. c.,
and we are the only firm hand
ling them. This can opener is
different to any other in use.
1t takes the entire top of the
can off with a single turn of
the wrist. All you have to do
is to lay the machine on the
top of the can, strike a little
wooden knob similar to those
used in opening soda-water
bottles and the can opener does
the rest. There is no possibil-
ity of injuring the hands or
losing your temper.
Did we hear anyone call out
"rats?' We thought we did,
and that brings to our mind
another novelty in the shape of
a French rat trap. This is a
family concern and will accom-
modate whole families of these
peStiferous rodents. Mr.. Rat
walks into the trap until he
reaches a little platform which
gives way under his weight
and he is caught before he
knows where he is, being
landed in an entirely different
compartment to that which he
first entered. Mrs. Rat follows
to see what the old man was
doing out so late at night and
soon joins him. We have
caught ten rats in one night in
one of these traps. They must
be seen to be appreciated.
This warm weather makes
one think of ice-cream and
an ice-cream freezer that
will suit a small family is
a desideratum. We have just
imported a new style of freezer
which cannot fail to commend
itself by its usefulness. 1t is
provided with heavy cap
which fits tightly over the re-
ceptacle holding the cream,
and is so constructed as to re-
quire less ice, less salt and less
time in fraazinn IL Won u,ant
