NORA AND BILL WE'RE WE'D.


Oh the jug"
"Rrinp in Nora Reeves and BIZ
Drake" said Judge Berry of the Second
division of the city court, ana n LOOK
of solemnity settled upon the face of
the young judicial officer as he prepar-
ed to perform his first marriage cerc-
mOny.
Your honor said Mr.. d. Il. Keith.
one of the lawyers present. Il think

liant as possible, and | hope your honor

the Judge, 'and | think it would be

These preliminary arrangements haT-
ing been completed, the door was open
ed and Bill Drake, a simple-lookinE
negro, who wore drab-cOlOred pants
and "A faded jacket of blue much too
short for him, came snickering into the
ROOM, followed by Nora Reeves, il great
mountain of black flesh that doomed

the Judge, turning to the man.

laughed to herself.
Nora, take the arm OF Bill" said the
judge.
"Oh, g'way, jedge; l doan wan'tcr
tex de arm err dat ole niger" said the
woman. There was much laughter 1t
this throughout the court room, but
Judge Berry repeated his commando:
Take the arm of Bill"
Have you got a license. Bill?' asked
the judge, and Bill, from the inside
pocket of his vest, pulled out a license.

ministerial tone, do you recognize the
wise dictates Of Providence that it is
moi good for mar to live alone, and also
that it is the duty Of man to multiply
and repleniSh the earthi"

IMPROVED "ALPHA" DELAvAl
CREAM SEPARATOR.

DR.. Gustav DeLaval, the in
ventor of the DeLaval Separ-
ator is one of the most practi
cal inventors of this century
and has been fifty termed the
Edison Of Dairying.' Within
the last few years the DcLaval
Separator has revolusioned the
methods of dairying.
1t has alone brought about
the broad development and
universally demonstrated the
superiority of the new system
over the old methods
The general elements OF con-
sideration in the use of a
separator is: First; that the
separation should be complete,
which is naturally the primary
object of machine, and the
S cond and most important one
is that it accomplishes the
separation in the most practical
and economical manner. This
might be done with an ordinary
bucket if a speed of 1880 or
10000 revolutions per minute
could be obtained, with the
requisite machinery, which OF
course is impossible.
1t has been solved in the
construction of the DeLaval
Separator, which are "guaran-
teed to be as represented and
to fill all the claims made for
them, and are sold subject to
the guarantee of the unquali-
fled superiority in every mater
iAl respect to all other machines
and systems. Comparative
tests in demonstration of such
fact, with and all other separa-
tors and Dreaming systems, are
most earnestly invited and de-
sired at all times.

TEN, $50 being i per cent of the actual
valuation.
1t will readily be seen that the in
crease is enormous. 1t will probably
astoniSh those who made the law as
much as it does those who are now
porting over the poorly printed blanks
sent out through Oahu by Mr. Shaw.
If the Government gets the harvest
which this act can reap it can build
the bridge to Maui for which native
member of the House of Representa-
tives once presented Il petition. 1t
will have many, many times the re.
turn that it ever had before. The
vaults will groan with the payers.
Many and strong are the contel-
tions set up against operation of the
new act. \ couple of the arguments
are shown above. Then it is held that
the property is not being taxed so
far as the statements show, but that
a levy is made upon speculative possi-
bilities or probabilities. For John
Smith q Co.. might earn as profit
$4,000 one year and lose money the
next Then if it gets down to that
basis it is an income tax. This species
of levy is provided for in another and
separate act that does not go into eff
feet for some time yet.
But what is most striking about the
condition now confronted is the sud-
den and tremendous increase of tril.
ute laid on enterprise. energy AND
labor. Perhaps that is too abstract for
the courts to consider. but it must ap-
peal to the wayfarer, to the layman,
and the proposition must have a place
in making the decision that is to H.,
required. 1t is palmer and as tangible
as the fact that the multiplication by
10 to reach a value is arbitrary. not
certainly anything like accurate or i'm
partial and often false and faulty.
y contest between heavy property
interests and the Government seems
inevitable. The issue is made and the
situation must be met. There is, how
ever. the assurance that every effort
will be made to reach amicablv a lust
and fair settlement.

TAXATION TROUBLE.

There is going to be scrioua trouble
over the operation of the new tax act.
The statute made by the legislature
is to be resisted in the courts. 1t will
be fought to the last ditch. This has
been decided upon by "A large number
of owners of large properties.
The beginning of dissatisfaction is
belief that the clause contemplating
assessment of corporation or partner
ship holdings was not understood
when provided and is not yet clear
if clear, not equitable. Further, there
is decided objection and determined
protest against the system arbitrarily
adopted by the assessors in chief
held their meeting in Honolulu.
This is the method: The corpora
ton John Smith & Co., fills out a
schedule showing that it has property
of the actual value of $4,000. perhaps
''cash value" is less.) On another blank
il is shown that the concern earned
during the year $4,000. Now multiply
this profit by 10, making 100000. From
the $4,000 subtract the $4,000 valua-
ton. This leaves 1872 900, upon which
a tax of 1 per cent or $500 must he
paid, as against $50 under the old sys-

A fine and profitable business for women
pursued as profession, is that of house
keeping. Every woman thinks herself
fitted to keep house," but in sober truth
those who are really fitted for it-that is
those who are thoroughly educated in its re-
quirements so that they would have a right
to practice it as they would any other trade
or profession and receive money for it--are
by no means many. Yet if the women who
have peculiarly strong domestic inclina-
tions would recognize that the trend of
their talent is toward housekeeping and
then prepare themselves seriously from the
first step to the last there would be sensi-
BILE addition made to the comfort of the
world and a new opening established
through which many women, instead of
now and then one, could earn their liveli-
hoods.
AS it is now, when there seems to be moth
ing else that a woman can do, and she has
not a home into which she can take board
ers for its support, she advertises herself as
a housekeeper for a gentleman's family,
widower preferred. If she had learned her
business, as she would have that of dress
making, or typewriting, or school teaching,
or surgery, or anything else, in short, she
would never have to make that humiliating
pOSlScrlpJ Vi WluOWer preleTreu III UnaU
case the widower would not be preferred.
She would go into house where there was
wife who wished and wearied for her and
would pursue her duties under no often
sive suspicion of an intention ultimately to
marry the widower
1t would make small difference to her if
her employer were man or woman, although
she might perhaps slightly prefer the wom-
an for the sake of the sympathy which one
woman has for another, but she would 90
on with her tasks, her plans, her oversight,
occupied with the house and keeping it in
order, with the children and their clothes
and their health, with the table, the serv-
ants, the linen, with the whole round of the
years work which keeps house and home
in running order, and would pay no more
heed to the personality of the man of the
house, as an individual pleasant or unpleas-
ant to her, than if she were an automaton
that had been wound up to go through its
motions at his service. --Harper's Bazaar.

opinion concerning smallpox aboard

presented a plain statement of the
facts ais it knew they existed. That is
the policy and practice of The Star.
1t will stick to it to retain the con-

connection it may be noted now that
the publication of the charges against

regard for any pretensions to relia-
