FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS.
In the Case of Larceny of Rings
FrOm Mrs. Drew.

Mrs Drew. the old eccentric woman
who lives in the vicinity of the Lyceum
on Nuuanu street, and who had a string
Of rings stolen from her a week ago by
a couple of young Portuguese girls,
told the truth when she said the rings
which these girls left at the police
station, and which they said were the
property of the old woman. were in
reality not hers at all.
Further investigation in the case re-
ferred to in yesterday mornings Ad-
vertiser, has brought out facts that
may get the Portuguese girls into seri-
GUS trouble.
1t seems that on Sunday morning or
the day after the arrest of the girls,
Mrs. ROdrigues, their mother, went to
the home of another Portuguese wo-
man. who lives near ST. Louis College.
and asked her for the loan Of some
rings, just Ito throw the officers off
the track
Having obtained these she went
home and put the four rings she had
borrowed under the house The thing
was all fixed up with the girls and
when the officers arrived they were
shown the rings under the house. The
question is. Where are the others?

Santa Claus is extremely fond of re-
ceiving letters from the little ones
He generally offers a valuable prize of
some kind to well-behaved children,
and this year he has notified Wall,
Nichols Company, who are to act as
his agents here, to offer in his name a
beautiful French doll to the Honolulu
girl or boy who writes him the most
original letter. Any little one under
10 years of age may compete for the
doll which is sure to be highly priced
by the lucky recipient. Now, girls, this
is your opportunity. Brush the cob
webs and dust of puzzling questions
out of your minds and write the old
gentleman a nice letter; something
different from anything you have ever
written before. You may ask your
papas and mammas how to spell the
words, but the thoughts and good
wishes should be all your own.
On honor, now!
Letters may be mailed in the letter
box at Wall, Nichols Company's store
between 9 o'clock this Saturday morn
ing, November 2Sth, and II o'clock
noon of December oath, the day before
Christmas.
The doll will be on exhibition in one
of their large show windows during the
above period The judges of the merits
of the letters received will be decided
upon by representatives of the press of
Honolulu.

A QUEER FIND.
A Fetrified Pony Discovered by Cowboys
on the Plains.

A Fetrifed Pony Discovered by Cowboys
on the Plains.
Fl. Clay Emmett, young cowboy,
who passed through Bolton, Tex, the
other night, reports a singular find made
by him during cattle hunting raid re-
Gently. The find was nothing more or
less than petriied pony, standing erect
and complete in all it's parts. Emmett
says that he and his partner, B. q.
Woodville, were riding across the prairie
late one afternoon when their tired
ponies neighed and whinnied as if they
were aware of the presence of another
animal
Looking around, they discovered what
they thought was a broncho tethered to
a mesquite which crowned the summit
of a little knoll to the northward. They
found that the horse was fastened by a
chain, but stooa SO rigidly still and
seemed altogether SO mysterious that
their own horses reared and plunged as
if in fright. Finally they dismounted
and found that the pony was petrified,
not a hair or a hoof amiss. Emmett
says that some ranchman years ago must
have chained the poor horse there, leav-
ing him to starve upon the plains. AS
the ribs of the animal are plainly visi-
BILE in the petrifaction and he seems to
have been otherwise much emaciated,
this is most probably the case. Emmett
will arrange to have the strange find ex-
hibited in some museum. Philadelphia
Times.

The next big trust on the carpet will
probably be an ore trust, engineered as
to its formation by the capable manipu-
lators of the Standard Oil company,
who have become very largely interested
in the production of iron ore in the
famed Superior region. The scheme is
as magnificent in its possibilities as it is
dangerous. Cheap iron is one of the ele-
mental conditions precedent to cheap
production and cheap living. The great
ore beds of the northwest ought not to
be monopolized for individual benefit.
1t is diversion of the bounty of nature

several other Indians, he escaped, and
gathering lot Of bad Indians around
him took to the mountains, where he
began a series of depredations.
The Kid and his band were finally
captured by General Miles, and the Kid
was sentenced by court martial to term
of Imprisonment at Alcatraz. He was
pardoned after he had served year and
was taken back to San Carlos. Then he
was rearrested at the instance of the
civil authorities and tried at Globe, A.
T., and sentenced to long term in
Yuma prison. On the way to prison he
killed Sheriff Raymond and left the
wagon driver for dead and once more

William Kirchoff, General Western Man
aeer of the American Tobacco Company,
has been a user of tobacco all his lie, anu
for wears has smoked as many as twenty
cigars daily. After using few Do1es %
No-To-B BAG, the desire for tocacco Is COM
pletely gone. and he is wonderfully I'M,
proved in health. his cure Is attlacsins "a
great deal of attention and comment ana
many prominent St. Louis business men
are following his example People are just
waking up to the fact that the contlhueo
use of tobacco is very injurious.
An interview with Mr.. HI. L. Kramer,
the originator of No-To-Bae, develops tne
fact that within three years 1t mas reacneo
an enormous sale, almost entlreiy upon
merit alone. Over one-milllon boxes OF
No-To-Bac have been sold, and 3OO,OUO To-
bacco users cured. At the present rate NO
To-Bac will cure in '96 from 2OO,OOU 10
SOC. 500, and as Mr.. Kramer says, 1T Is al
ways the worst cases that want cure;
those who have chewed and smoked from
boyhood-some of them thirty, forty anu
fifty years, and we even have records OF
cures after sixty years of tobacco using.
So. YOU can see that, if they are spending
an average of $50 a year (this is small
amount), the cure of 200, 900 tobacco users
in '96 would result in the loss OF the sale OF
tobacco amounting to over !O,0OO,Uoo
which will be saved to the cured
No-To BAG is truly a medical wonder, for
it not only destroys the desire for tobacco,
but invigorates the nervous system and
marvelously increases weight and strength.
Like all great successes, No-To-Bac has
many limitations and substitutes, and the
public should be warned against them.
MOTTO BAG is the original tobacco habit
cure, and is sold under an absolute guar
antee to cure the tobacco habit by your
own druggist.

The Quality of Tact.

Tact is not dishonesty, writes Frances
E. Lanigan in the Ladies Home Jour
nal. 1t does not mean the suppression OF
the truth nor the expression of an un-
truth, but it does mean the withholding
of gratuitous disagreements from argu-
ments in which they are quite superf1u-
ous 1t also means the effort to induce
an agreement kindly when possible, and
if an agreement is impossible it demands
a gracious acceptance of opposing views.
Tact cannot be said to be synonymous
with policy. Tact is always honest, and
policy cannot invariably be said to have
that distinguishing mark.

New Sort of Poker.

A new variation of poker has sprung
up. 1t deals out the entire pack in equal
numbers to ali players. If five are play
ing, for example, each will get ten cards
at the start. If seven are playing, each
gets seven, the three cards left over be-
ing put aside. Then, instead of draw
ing, each player discards as he likes
from his hand, so that he shall have five
cards to play with, making the best
hand possible out of those dealt him.
Hands are apt to run high in this sort
of game. 1t is called peculiar.
A poker game in which six cards were
dealt. discards and draws being SO reg
ulated that only five cards constituted
the final hand, has been known for some
time, but this is further development
of That idea 1t is said to have original
ed along the shores Of Long Island -
New York Sun.
