He had just reached the house to tell
Mrs. Bowser that all Merino hogs were
thorough cosmopolitans, when he heard
a sort of shrek and fall from the pen,
and, running back, he arrived just in
ZINE to see the hog making another
jump to get out. The bristles on his
back stood up, his single eye CLEANED
like bicycle lantern at midnight, and
he chanked his teeth in anger.
''Durn your hide. but what's the
matter with your growled Mr.. Bowser
as he looked the animal over.
The hog quieted down at sound of his
voice, and after walking around the
pen two or three times uttered a grunt
of satisfaction and lay down again.
''By George, but that's FUNNY" said
Mr.. Bowser.
"What is it?'' asked Mrs. Bowser,
who had just arrived.
"Why, he was as calm as frog pond
while I stood here, but the minute I
turned and left the pen he went into a
sort of fit and tried to get out. -
1--we heard that was the way with
Merino hogs" sagely observed Mrs.
Bowser. "They want the company of a
human being or they won't thrive"
Lets try him again"
They backed away few feet, and the
hog sprang up, with a squeal, and leaped
for the top of the pen and fell back with
crash. When they hurried forward, he
presented the same picture as before,
with the addition of an extra kink in
his tail
"What in thunder dye s'pose ails the
critter:' exclaimed Mr.. Bowser as the
hog backed off and kept that cleaning
eye on him.

Bowser. 'tHe wants company-thec COM

right here and give him the benefit of

"I'll be hanged if do The idea of
hog cutting up in this fashion. He'll
either quit this tonlfoolery or I'll brain
him with the Ak"
You'd better stay out here for two
or three days and nights anyway" sug-

Every likely. There are plenty of
things you never heard of, Mrs. Bowser,

session of the smokehouse nothing she
could say would prevent it. The hog
arrived after breakfast next morning,
and when he had been placed in the
pen and the farmer had departed she
went down to the pen to view him. He
was long, lean, lank hog, with three
kinks in his tail and ears which por-
trayed hungry and grasping character.
He was as hollow as if he had been
bored out with an augur, and he had
lost an eye and received dozen scars
on his snout while battling with cold
and cruel world.
"Well, isn't he a lulu?'' exclaimed
Mr.. Bowser after giving her two or
three minutes to take in all the points.
He would be-for dime museum,
she quietly replied.
"You-you don't fancy him?''
"He's worse than the other one Mr..
Bowser, if you had hunted the whole

interrupted as he danced around. II go

"No, ma am. Don't come near this
pen. Don't come within ten rods of it.
You abused that other hog in the most
shameful manner, and that's why he
acted as he did. but I'll protect this one
from your malignancy.
Mrs. Bowser entered the house. and
Mr.. Bowser leaned over the pen and
looked lovingly down on his latest &C.
QUESTION. The hog squinted back at him
with one eye and seemed to feel at
home. By and by he lay down with a
sigh and "woof,'' and Mr.. Bowser
tiptoed away, with broader smile on
his face than had been there for week.

1T Is A BOOMERANG.
Infamous Attack on Gov. ClOugh
Chargeable to Lind.

Chargeable to Lind.
John Lind's central committee is
evidently driven to desperation. They
are sending a circular letter through
out the state containing an UNANIMOUSLY
false charge of official dereliction
against Gov. Clough in regard to the
Hastings & Dakota railroad land leg
is lation of last winter. 1t is all right
to discuss the public record of an
official and we do not desire to cen
sure the use of that privilege so long
as the parties contine themselves to
facts. But when an effort is made to
knowingly and wilfully falsify tie
facts. SO as to deceive the public, it in
dicates that when a man changes his
politics, as Mr.. Lind did, he is apt,
also, to lose his sense of decency and
fairness. This SANDER is directly
chargeable to Lind, because it is being
published by his general agents politi-
cally, who have undertaken to make
him governor.

he can't get rid of the idea too soon. I'll
give him human company before I get
through with him. Let's back off
again.
They backed. They had reiterated 20
feet when the hog uttered a shrek of
anger or anguish or something and
caught the top board of the pen with his
fore feet and hung there. AS he hung he
shrieked again and again, and while
Mrs. Bowser ran for the house Mr..
Bowser picked up a club and dashed for
ward. He had bestowed two whacks on
the snout pointing into the air when
something fell on him and walked all
over him and rooted him over and over
on the grass. It was the hog-the whole
hog-the Merino hog which languished
for human society. When he got through
with Mr.. Bowser, he took turn around
the yard to get the geographical loca-
ton of the front gate. When he had got
it, he took running jump and carried
it off its hinges, and as Mrs. Bowser
looked out of the window he was whisk-
ing up the road in cloud of dust after
a young man on bicycle. She went
down to Mr.. Bowser, who was sitting
up, with his back against the pen, and
looking at knothole in the henhouse
door.
"Well?" she queried.
He didn't reply.
$50 your Merino hog is gomez
He never winked.
"What you ought to have done was
to have hired some one at $50 a month
to give that hog his society, being you
couldn't spare the time.
He gazed straight into the knothole
and wouldn't even scratch when bug
bit him. Mrs. Bowser is not revenge
full wife, and so she gave him gentle
pat on the head and left him.

She crushed me with a terrible disdain
Her naughty GOODNESS almost made me freeze
l had not meant my lady to displease,
But she was much offended, that was plain.
I tried to speak-she babe me to refrain,
She said her wrath never could appease
And added explanations would be in vain
She sat on me-.
But after all, she only meant to tease,
And soon we both were chatting at our ease
Around her waist my arm then made chain
And quietly she let it there remain,
And when placed her gently on my knees
She sat on me.

business man everywhere believes in

ness this "best Government these
islands ever had" displayed in grant
ing to Colonel Spaulding, Of all per-
sons, the cable franchise alienated
the good will Of more than one of
its friends. The Colonel is one of
those men who takes every thing in
sight aud gives as little as possible
in return. After making fortune
in these Islands to what thing can
even his friends point as an express
sion of the Colonel's librality for the
public good. He elects tn scatter
his fortune in the gay capitals of
Europe, aud has the impt dence TO
ask for cable that he may sell it in
order to spend more abroad.
The cream OF the Advertisers in
terview, however, is the opinion
expressed by Mr.. G. M. Cooke, who,
by the way intends to follow the
Colonel in living abroad. Mr.. Cooke
thinks that the Colonel's franchise
should be extended for a year, and
in an innocent looking parenthesis
he suggests that Mr., p. @. Jones'
franchise to float bonds should also
be extended. Much may bs rightly

TOPICS OF The DAY.

Take notice that the books Of the
Tax Assessors open to morrow for
the last time. On Monday the Tax
Appeal Board will be in session.
The Tax Assessor as far as we can
learn has not called the attention OF
the taxpayers to the fact that the
tax books were opened to inspection
Heretofore it has been customary
that such notices were given through
all the newspapers, and in the out
lying districts through posters. At
one time Assessor All Shaw publish
ed the delinquent list OF taxpay ers
in the Chinese newspapers. This
year he hasn't even published the
usual notice in regard to eventual
appeals from his assessments. 1t
seems as if>Mr. Damon, the boss OF
the Tax Depart ment, is afraid Of ap
peals from the asse ss meuts OF his
employee. We are surprised to soc
Mr.. Damon approving scheme
which will probsbly deprive many
Hawaiian taxpayers OF just hearing
and just taxation. The plantations
and the planters are not treated that
way under our "best" government.
The morning paper is trying very
hard to cast slurs on Mr.. Boardman
and the immigration company re-
presented by him. The facts are
that Mr.. Boardman as agent for Ger.
tain planters here aud recently for
a certain immigration company full
filed his agreement by bringing bv
the Togo Maru the number of Jap
anese contract laborers bargained
for. The steamer chartered to bring
the laborers had a perfect right
under its own responsibility to AXE
any other class and number OF pas
sengers. A number OF "free" Jap
anese took passage and arrived here
On behalf of the Hawaiian G. ,vern-
ment, Mr.. Chester Doyle and Mr..
Furuya went to the immigration
depot to interview the students
They returned with report that
number OF the men did not possess
fifty dollars bona fde, The Adver
tser jumps to the conclusion that
the money produced by the "stu-
dents" have been furnished through
sources known to Mr.. Boardman's
company, and it INDUCES in certain
threatening language which seems
to emanate from the quill-driver OF
an opposition immigration company.
THE INDEPENDENT has at all times
been opposed to Japanese immigra
ton. If we are to add commercial con-
troversies, and fraudulent competi
tion to the other evils we had better
make decided move and demand a
full stop" as far as Asiatic immigra-
tion is concerned.

TOBACCO HABIT CURED.

HON. II. V. WAREHOUSES; TEsT1-
MoNY.
The remarkable effects of the
Hagey Cure, as applied by the
institute established in this city,
for the disease of using tobacco
is vividly set forth in the COM
munication that follows: Coming
from man of such prominence
as Mr.. Morehouse is the testi-
monial speaks volumes for the
cure:
SAN JOSE, Sept. 20, 1898.
President of the Hagey Cure
DEAR SIR: Without solicita-
tion, and in the full conviction
that the truth of the Hagey
Cure, as applied to the tobacco
habit, should be publicly known,
from one who has tried the
treatment and knows its efficacy,
| take this means of thanking
your company, and at the same
time informing those who desire
to quit the habit of the use of
its forms, of your wonderful
remedy. | took your remedy
only eight days, while | was in
formed by your physician that
two weeks's treatment was neces-
sary to insure cure. ! learned
to use and acquired the habit of
chewing and smoking tobacco
when a mere boy, and have often
tried to quit the use of the same
since | reached manhood, and
while | found it easy to stop
chewing and smoking, still de-
sired to chew and smoke, and
found the effect of quitting
the use Of tobacco was to me
more injurious than the use of
it. Now, | needed something
that would so overcome the effect
of the long use of tobacco upon
my nervous system and at the
same time destroy the desire to
chew or smoke. Your cure has
done that. After about six days
use, all desire to chew or smoke
was gone, and my nervous sys-
tenn instead Of being disturbed
by the non-use of tobacco, SEEM
ed to be restored to health, and
there was no unpleasant effect
of any kind; in fact, the only
desire was to eat, and my appe-
tite for food was simply raven
Gus. The truth is that your
remedy is perfect, and any per-
son who will honestly try it
with determination to quit the
use of tobacco will succeed. OF
this there is no doubt. AS to
the effect of the remedy while
using it, | can only say that
there is nothing dangerous or
unpleasant about it. No one
need fear that he will be poison
ed or injured. He may expert
ence a peculiar sensation about
the eyes while under the inhu-
ence of the medicine, but this
passes readily away and is of no
consequence and will do no
harm. | write this of my own
accord in hope that tobacco
users who desire to quit the
habit may know that your
remedy will cure them, and be-
cause you justly deserve great
credit for giving to mankind a
remedy to enable him to relieve
himself from the curse of either
an inherited or acquired ap
petite for an injurious weed to
those OF nervous organization
or sedentary occupation. | do
not wish to be considered a
moralist on the effects of tobacco
upon the human system; | only
know it hurt me. | desired to
