Red Gallagher has an unenviable rep
utation in Pickleville. He is lanky,
lantern-iawed fellow. with. a freckled
face and a shock of red hair that looks
like a door mat. His speciality is rob-
bing the clothesiaes of back yards at
night; but there is nothing he would
stop at, even to scraping the paint sign
from the window of Chinese laundry
just for the sake of stealing something.
Red was known to Herr Zuckermeister
only in a general way, that is, the lit
tie German did not know that he had
a record and picture in the rogues' gal
lery. The record reads something like
this:

Timber Jim shows Up.

At that time I was nothin but year
lin boy-the onlyest one in the family
and my mainest runnin mate was
q niger youngster which belonged to
INV father. The other boy was name
Jerry, and as we was one years chill
dren. both born on the full of the moon,
the general understandin was that he
would fall to me when got did enough
to branch off aud set up business ON my
own hook.
Well, At any rates, me and Jerry was
about as clost and thick and familious
AZ two boys of . different color could
git to be, and whether at work or nj
play, or up to some devilment or other
we most in generally always went in
together. We first learnt how to run
horse-races on the sly aa we driv the
COWS on to the paster in the mornin and
rounded them up in the evcnin. But
INV good old father thought as much
of his horses a. he did of his boys-ii
not . whole lot more-and everwhen
he caught us runnin the stock about
the next reglar order of business would
be Q pressin engagement with a leather
strop. So in them days. as time went
ON. il come to pass that me and Jerry
use to slip the horses out in the dead
hours of night and go of to good
level road and run races till we got
enough.
One pleasant summer day, late along
IL the shank Of the eyenin, preacher
travellin through the settlement
stopped over and put up for the night
at our house. In the main time me and
jerry we made it our personal and par
ticlar business to try every strange
horse that come along. We had to tend
to the stock and see to it that there
was plenty of corn in the troft and fod
der In the rack, and SO we reasoned to
gether with ourselves that no strangs
horse could get his board and lodgin'
in our lot free gratis for ncthin. Ths
general fact that the horse in this cast
belonged to q preacher didn't jar oul
hands O blame bit. He had to show
down in regards to his wind and hi.
speed IL he had any In him. The preach
er which we had with w that nigh
called his horse Timber Jim, and as W.
led him down to the lot me and Jerry
made it up between US that he would
have to unite them legs and unlimbel
himself generally somewheres befor'
daylight the next mornin.

The time for selecting
edibles for the hristmas sea-
son is at hand and, witt out
enumerating especially, we
wish to say that our stock
comprises most of the deli
cacies for the table at this or
any other time. Our importa-
tions are from France and the
United States, the goods are
absolutely pure and fresh and
are not surpassed in character
and assortment by any firm in
San Francisco.
We receive goods by every
steamer and they include game,
fish and other articles not OBJ
tainable by consumers here
except in San Francisco. Our
agent in San Francisco seeks
the best goods in the best mar
kets, buying only from the
manufacturers, agents and thus
saving one profit. Your ex-
perience in buying from US
has taught you that the
character of our goods cannot
be questioned and that our
prices are satisfactory.
Our stock of Christmas
goods now is larger and better
than we have ever shown be-
fore. If you desire any spe-
cial delicacies which may ar
rive on the steamer due before
Christmas you will be best
served by leaving your orders
now-everyone is anticipating
rush-perhaps you are.
Have you handed in your
order for a Christmas tree for
the little ones?

Judge G. +. Hart, in a contri-
button to the discussion of the

upon consideration being shown
by the party in power to the feel
ings Of the native Hawaiians.
This insistance is in keeping with
the contention of the BULLETIN

eminent and people of the United
States will take into strong ac-
count, in dealing with the ques-
ton of annexing Hawaii, the atti-
tude of the Hawaiian native pop.

early days OF the new rule, when
the Government tacitly encourag
ed, if not directly assisted, the
regarding of the native Ha-
waiian people as both i'm
beetle and vicious, and hav.
ing no particle of right to
be consulted in matters of vital
Importance to their country. This
great blunder of policy was the
first to be revealed to American
statesmen in Congress, and the
revelation caused the filing away
indefinitely of the Harrison treaty
of annexation. There is fer more
reason for winning native support
to the cause Of annexation today
than there was then, in the fact
that the outspoken opposition
thereto, amongst the foreign ele-
ment here, is much more formid-
able in. individual and property
influence now than at that time.
1t is no use to hide from this fact,
like the ostrich that buries its
head in the sand. Mckinley, it
is believed at Washington, will
declare for annexation when pro.
per overtures from Hawaii are
made. 1t is safe to say that over
lures not having the authority of
a commanding majority of all the
people eligible for American citi.
zenship will hardly be considered
proper" by the incoming United
States administration. Therefore
the duty of the hour, devolving
upon those seeking the political
union of Hawaii to tho United
States, is to secure the support Of
the whole body polite Of these
islands.

Anything from Hon. Paul Isen-
berg on matters affecting the
welfare Of this country, OF which
he was formerly prominent
legislator and in which for many
years he has held great financial
interests, must command general
respect. His arguments against
annexation cannot be got over
with inane buffoonery too COM
mon in the "new" journalism, but
require to he answered with rea-
sons that will appeal to men Of
sound sense and habits of investi-
cation. AS the BULLETIN uuder-
stands it, the present campaign
for political union is to be one Of
information, argument and, wher.
ever necessary, conciliation-not
one of spaSmodic hurrah, mouth
ing of shibboleths and abuse Of
opponents.
