A CHASTITY BET AND ITS SEQUEL

The late Baron Hirsch (says Mr.. Ar
mold White in the English Illustrated
Magazine for June) was a man of rare
courage, which on one occasion at least
he pushed to the verge of folly
When he was quite a young mamie
himself told me the incident was true
he was in a town in Turkey where
the cholera was raging. Some Austrian
officers were there, and a conversation
sprang up about courage.
A bet was proposed and accepted by
Hirsch that he would pass the night
on bed with the corpse of a man who
had died of the cholera, one condition
being that the layer of the odds was
to stand in the doorway all night and
see that the wager was fairly won.
This was done. Hirsch passed the
night with the body and won the bet.
Next morning. as he and his friend
were leaving the house, they encounter
ed funeral at the corner of the street,
al which there was a block. The hastily
made coffin, which was borne on mems
shoulders, by some mischance fell, and
in falling the body, that of a beautiful
girl, rolled out of the she'll into the
street.
The girl was the sister of the Austrian
was i'll. The shock was so great to the
brother that he fell to the ground and
was Immediately seized with cholera
and was himself a corpse within forty
eight hours.

Bismarck's FatefuI Pipe.

Prince Bismarck is a great pipe col
lector, and the gem of his collection has
curious history. Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
of Friederichsruh with his two hounds,
he was accosted by Bohemian peddler
and asked to buy a plain meerschaum
pipe of the type that Bismarck most af-
fected. At first Bismarck declined, but
the peddler claimed for the pipe a power
of forecast and told him he would serve
three emperors as minister, and that
three important changes in his life
would be foretold by accidents Detailing
the pipe.
Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe.
He has since served three emperors.
Two days before the historic moment
when he was refused an audience the
stem of his pipe separated and went to
pieces. Later he Clipped piece from
the side of the bowl, and within a
month he was practically dismissed by
the present emperor. The third sign has
yet to come. Berlin Correspondent.

Dentists, Forceps.

There are about 200 different styles
of forceps made for dentists use, vary
ing in the sizes and forms of the beaks
and in the shapes of the handles. A
dozen pairs of fOrceps would probably
fill all the requirements of a single
dentist, but another dentist, though he
might use on the same tooth forceps
with the same size and style of beaks,
might prefer a pair with a different
grip to the handles, and forceps are
made not only TO suit every need in
practice, but every personal requirement
of the practitioner New York Sun.

HYPNOTIzED THE BEARS.
A Story Which Newsome Believes Becaus
Anderson Is Cross Eyed.

A Story Which Newsome Believes Because
Anderson Is Gross Eyed.
J. E. Newsome is Port Arthur Ca
madam and Alex Anderson comes from
Pearl River. An Englishman named
Atwell wanted to get bear, and An
derson tried to crafty his desire.
Newsome told Forest and Stream about
it. Atwell was the kind of man who
would like to kill a bear in a trap, so
Anderson took two bear traps and lot
of bait up gully near Ouimet, looking
for sign. The Englishman went look
ing for bears and left Anderson to set
the traps.
ALI of sudden a big she bear ap-
peared before Anderson at the foot of a
tree between a couple of whose roots
one trap was to have been set Not hav-
ing any gun, Anderson, so Newsome
says, determined that hypnotic force
had to be used, and that suddenly. An
derson looked the bear in the eyes, and
the bear paused; then Anderson made
three passes with his hands. The bear
leaned its head forward and its eyes
bulged out Having satisfied himself
that the bear was properly Influenced,
Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell
was good way off, and before he could
arrive the she BEARS 2-year-old and
yearling cub came out of the tree at the
same time. A yearling cub alone would
be a pretty bad fighter at close quarters,
especially with a hypnotized mother
bear near by liable to come to at any
moment, but 2-year-old cub and a
yearling both at once made a mighty
serious matter.
But Anderson was fully equal to the
emergency. He managed to look at the
bears four eyes at once and soon had
them subjugated. Newsome says that
he would not have believed Anderson's
tale only Anderson is now cross eyed,
which he wasn't before, owing to his
looking both bears in the eyes at once.

HE IS RESPONSIBLE.
&. V. Sturdevant Tells What He
Heard About the Salvation Army

Heard About the Salvation Army
''The Salvation Army of Honolulu
was arrested by Detective Hammer al
o'clock Saturday evening and march
ed off to the station. Hammer was act
ing under orders from Marshal Brown
Some time ago the Army was ordered
not to hold meetings on the crowded
corner at Fort and Hotel streets. For a
while this order was scrupulously obey
ed, but of late has not been followed.
So on Saturday night when the Army
stopped at the corner the arrest was
made. Captain Parker released the
good people on condition that they
avoid the place in future"
MR.. EDITOR:-The foregoing article
here quoted, which appeared in to-
nights Star, is so full of misrepresen-
tations that l request space in the Adj
vertiser to refute it and state the plain
facts, which are as follows:
About one week after Captain Zim-
mer and Cadet Munroe returned from
Hilo, Captain thinner received type
written letter signed by Marshal Brown
stating that Geo. w. Smith, of Benson,
against their holding meetings in front
of his store, and requested them not to
do so in future. The following day
Captain thinner called on Marshal
Brown, acknowledging his letter, and
said she would comply with his request,
and asked where she might hold them.
His answer was: Anywhere except in
front of Benson & Smiths drug store.
You may go on Fort street between the
Criterion and Pantheon saloons, or on
Hotel street in front of the Pantheon,
because the sidewalk is wide there"
The Captain said: why, that is
more than we have ever asked or done;
we never held a meeting on Fort
street" To which the Marshal replied
that they might do so in future.
In order not to displease any one, the
officers went to every business man in
that locality and asked if there was any
objection to the meetings, and every
one said NO" Mr.. L. e. Tracy said
they might hold them in his store; he
enjoyed them.
They were on Hotel street in front
of the Pantheon when arrested, but not
under orders from Marshal Brown, ,"
just where the Marshal had told them
they might go; and they were not re
leased on condition that they avoid the
place in future" On the contrary, Of
ficer Hammer was reprimanded by the
Captain on duty, in the presence of the
whole Army, and they held one of the
largest open airs" on Hotel street on
Sunday night that they have had for
long time.
L am the person who is responsible
for the presence in Honolulu of these
people, who in other cities are consid
cred a great help to the police in pre-
serving order, and 1 propose to shield
them from insult and misrepresenta-
ton so long as they and shall remain
here.
Sincerely yours,
G. V. STURDEVANT.

If your arms and legs are fractured II viii all

And the bruises and abrasions you must look

If you want to be a histrionic star.
You must let the teacher haul you like rug

IF Won d learn the art of kissing on the stage.
You must let him pull your hair out that you
worship and adore
If you'd rightly learn TO weep and boil with

You must think of fame and fortune when

You go humping like Broadway cable
You must break your bones serenely and not
think about repairs,
II you want to be a histrionic star
You must mind the big professor, and upon
him never frown
II favorite you'd be, with piles of gold.
Better far to let him jump on you and kick

That the mirror up TO nature you should

The convention of school
teachers will close next
week and then there will be
an exit to the other islands.
During their stay here the
teachers have learned some
thing outside the four walls
of the High School. They
have read our ADVERTISE
ments and learned where to
go when fine quality goods,
at cheap goods prices are
wanted. When they go
back to their homes on the
other islands, they will take
with them a years supply Of
dry goods, because the saw
ing will pay them to lay in a
stock.
Rubber sheeting is neces-
sary to nearly every house
keeper. When you can buy
them cheap, they are profit
able to keep in the house.
B)eached sheeting, in 1914
"a. S-4 and IA sizes are
needed everywhere, and it
was never as cheap as it is
now; it will never be as
cheap again, as prices may
increase after the next
steamer arrives from the
Coast.
The rage in the United
States is for Union suits for
ladies, misses and children.
We have light weights in all
sizes, suited to this climate.
These are a genuine bargain.
