whereupon she insisted that the child, a
girl, would be forever lost. Within six
weeks he had tried four consecutive serv
ants, but found that each one would pill.

to get along without any help. One after
noon, while sauntering lazily through the
plaza, he was accosted by servant No. l.,
who asked If the babe was yet baptized

tized." Well" she answered, lit Is all

amused, the father hunted up and inter

tlesnalxe on "Bike."
To our ears there have come many Won
derful rattlesnake stories, painted with the
glowing colors of truthfulness. but never
in our long experience has such q one as
here related been reported.
1t is an entirely modern snake story, and
it relegates the old rusty tales out of sight.
1t truly belongs to the new era. 1t is
bicycle snake story-a regular safety, pneu-
matte tire snake story-a snake story that
would make the hair rise on tigers back
and make Bill Nye turn green with envy.
But it is true snake story and was re-
lated to us by a young gentleman who Is
good looking and truthful. While telling
the adventure to us his soft black eyes
dilated and his black mustache brstled.

ION an embankment near Augusta The
sun was blazing down at South African

attention was drawn to an object in the

snake.

There was no escape. and as quick MS light

Since then the pneumatic tire has decayed
SO that l had to have it completely over
hauled. The cause Of the complete dilapi-

in it's rage sank its poisonous fangs in the
tire thus causing the poison to spread all

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, 1t has become import
ant to all to have knowledge OF the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy rs medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale Of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing ard selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant TO the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of laxative, then one
should have the bes. and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF

largely used and gives most general

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot Of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

young college girl, student of cause

results of many marriages where love

AN UNCANNY SOUVENIR.
Pouch Made of tho Skin of a Famous
Pirates Heart.
How Grandfather Ferris, Revengerul
Old Yankee, Utilized Peculiar
Present Story of Gibbs,
LawIess Buccaneer.

If anyone had dared prophesy to
Gibbs the Pirate, whose name struck
terror to every seafarer's soul 20 years
ago, that, after his death the sack in
which beat his brutal heart would be
tanned and made into a tobacco pouch,
Gibbs would probably first have laughed
at him for mailman, and then, with
ready knife or pistol, would have ST.
fenced him forever, as he had many an
other.
Yet, strange as it may seem, the peri
cardium of this last and bloodiest of
modern pirates hangs to-day in the old
Ferris house, not far from Mianus,
Conn.,, where New York Journal re-
porter found it and heard its curious
history.
When Gibbs was hanged, April %,
1881, on Bedloe's Island, boat load of
people went down from Stamford to see
the execution. Illness prevented Grand
father Ferris from making one of the
party, and he was bitterly disappointed.
AS his friends departed, he is said to
have called after them: Bring me
back the hell hounds heart, so long as
l can't go myself to see the devil get
him. Don't forget. now; it's the heart
want" "All right" came the answer
ing voices; well try to get it for you"
There was a physician in he party,
and, after the life was strangicd out of
the pirates huge frame, and he was
given over to the doctors for dissec-
ton, Mr.. Ferris medical friend appro-
priated the heart of the dead sea rob-
Der. It's unusual size made him decide
to keep it himself, and then it occurred
to him that it's pcricardium-the sack
in which it hangs-would better serve
Grandfather Ferris as a memCnto, and
he gave it to him.
Mr.. Ferris straightway had the heart
covering tanned by the village tanner.
Then it passed into the hands of the
harness maker, who very neatly turned
over the edges and ran a cord through
them, making of it a tobacco pouch of
curious but convenient shape.
Capt. Kidd and Morgan the Buc-
cancer are more familiar names than
