But when physical weakness or disease 10

The special weaknesses peculiar to the

A Beautiful Thought.

Michael Minot, French preacher,
who died in Paris in 1918, was noted
for his eccentricities in the pulpit and
the rapidity with which he changed
from humor to pathos, from the COM
monplace to the beautiful. "There were
once pillories for swearers," he said on
a certain occasion, "but if the law were
enforced now two-thirds of the empire
would be in the stocks and there would
be the child of 8 years and the dotard
of 80, who has only two teeth remain
ing to fling out an oath. " Changing
suddenly to denounce those who nep.
lected the aged parents who had cher
ished them in prosperity, he said: "See
the trees flourish and recover their
leaves! 1t is their root that has pro-
duced all, but when the branches are
loaded with flowers and fruits thew
yield nothing to the root. This is an
image of those children who prefer
their own amusement and to game
away their own fortunes to giving their
old parents the care which they want"

Thrilling News.

1t is difficult at this day to realize
what the excitement must have been,
both i'll the world at large and among
the medical profession, on the discovery
of ether. The late Sir Benjamin Rich
ardson, in his ''Vita Medical" gives an
account of the commotion which pre-
vailed in the medical college at Glas-
gov when the news reached the ply
s:cians of the city.
According to custom, large class
was seated III the college theater, wait
ing for the midday lecture. The profess
or, DR.. Moses Buchanan, was always
scrupulously punctual, but minute after
minute went by and he did not appear.
Finally he came, but only to say, to the
students great surprise, that there
would be no lecture that day. He had,
he announced, wonderful piece of
news to tell-the fact that method
had been discovered through which
surgical operations could be performed
without paip.
81 am" said he, son my way to the
Royal infirmary to take part there in
the trial of the new system, and by and
by we shall all meet to learn if the
news which has reached us is really
true. If it be, this day is red letter
day in all our lives"
The announcement created the great
est excitement, and all the students
trooped off at once to the Royal infirm-
airy. There Professor Andrew Buchan-
an, who was to perform the operation,
stepped forward and repeated the news
which had come from the Massachu-
sets hospital and described the process
so far as he knew it. The patient was
then sent for, and he came in quite
smilingly, rather proud of being the
first man in Scotland to enjoy the honor
and good fortune of being cut without
pain.
The usual programme followed. He
laughed, wept and went through the
gamut of emotions produced by ether,
but he finally sank to sleep, and the op-
Grafton was brilliantly performed.

1t is an extremely uncommon disease,
which is contracted only in the autumn,
and is produced by taking septic germ

never experience what they dread most.
All his life Du Maurier dreaded total

Leighton's Punctualitv.

One well known and decidedly in
artistic quality of Lord Leighton was
his punctuality. He was once in Damas-
Gus and was urged to remain there, but
he declined. His reason was that he had
to be in London on a certain day be-
cause he had made an engagement with
his model. A friend was anxious to
learn whether Lord Leighton had actu-
ally kept this engagement, and he
found that when the artist was ascend
ing the staircase straight from Damascus
the model was knocking at the door of
the studio. San Francisco Argonaut.

seeing who was hiding in the shadow q
few feet from ner. The man took his
place beside her, the flowers were heap
ed i'm about them, and the carriage
started swiftly.
No one heard the sobs which escaped
from the breast Of Pierre Morel.
The tuner went TO his room, miser-
able attic chamber.
But there was no question of sleep
for the unhappy man.
He opened drawer, took out little
casket, and the key, half rusted, refus-
ing TO turn in the lock, he pried off the
cover, some dry flowers, piece of rib
bon, page If manuscript music, those
"little things" which all lovers possess.
They were the relics of his poor love.
For long, long years he had not opened
this box, fearing 70 suffer too much,
but tonight he felt savage need of
draining the cup to the dregs.
The flowers, some violets, two or
three jonquils, he had gathered with
Juliette on some of their Sunday walks
in the woods of Sevres and of Vile
d'Avray. Their color had faded less
quickly perchance than the love in the
heart of Juliette. The piece of ribbon
had bound her black hair, and Pierre
could have pressed it to his lips. The
manuscript music was melody which
he had composed for her. "When have
become celebrated" she had said, II
will sing it everywhere. But she had
no more remembrance of these words
than has the autumn wind of the leaves
with which it sports.
"You pay this man," That was all
she had to say in passing near him.
All, had she not paid him long
since. paid him as almost always in
this life our purest devotion, our best
love is paddy ingratitude?
And Pierre pictured her in her salon
of the Hotel du Louvre, surrounded by
a circle of admirers. He heard the peans
of praise, and tears of despair, burning
like molten lead, rolled down his thin
cheeks.
Then the morning broke, gray,
wintry morning.
The various noises Of the street rose
to the attic of the tuner, the roar from
the tramways, the rumble of the omni-
buses were heard again. The great city
was awakening under the leaden sky.
There was the effort to begin again,
the struggle to take up, the burden to
lift again upon tired shoulders.
For it is the misfortune Of the poor
man not even to be able to suffer in
peace. The need Of earning daily bread
harnesses him ceaselessly, and every
morning, be the heart at peace or torn
by sorrow, he must take up his work
again.
Pierre Morel put back his treasures
in their sepulcher, bathed his red eyes,
descended the six flights of stairs and
found himself again in the already
swarming street.
An hour later, in the back room of
the shop of Lefevre Renduel, he had
taken up his humble occupation again,
that of today, that of tomorrow, and of
all the rest of his life.

kOOLAU RACE WAR.
Japanese and Chinese in Battle
Near the Pail.


Near the Pail.
Koolou had an incipient race war on
Wednesday night, which might have
ended seriously but for the interven-
ton of Contractor Whitehouse, Henry
Crane and young man named Town
send. 1t seems that in the Chinese
camp on the Koolau side Of the Pail
there are 80 or more Chinese who work
on the Pail road. Almost adjoining
this is the camp of the Japanese.
One Of the Chinese is the fortunate
possessor of two porkers, and on We'd
nesday they broke pen and wandered
up the side of the hill. AS two of the
Japanese were returning home they
found one of the pigs and tied him up
TO a tree near their camp. When the
owner discovered the loss he made a
search, found the pig and drove it
home. About o'clock the Japanese
called on the Chinaman and made a
demand for a reward. This was the
beginning of a warm discussion, dur
ing which the little brownie told his
antagonist that 20 Japanese could
whip so Cinnamon. Then he grabbed
the Chinaman by the throat. Other
Cinnamon, hearing the loud voices, ran
into the room and drove the japanese
away.
Later in the evening about 40 China
men started for the Japanese quarters,
but returned on the advice of their lu-
ma Then the Japanese started to the
Chinamen's place and began stoning
the houses. During this the Chinese
luna was injured by being hit with a
stone.
The Japanese seemed determined to
get money as a reward or have fight,
but the Celestial kept saying:
II no got money; 1 no likee fight.
Suppose you likee money, you ketchem
boss. I no telle you ketchem pig, any
how"
This seemed to anger the Jap. and a
general fight with stones, shOvels and
picks, as weapons, ensued. After it
was over one Japanese was found with
a broken arm, another with a broken
finger and one with his head gashed.
A Japanese woman, who mixed up in
it, had her hip dislocated. But few Of
the Cinnamon were injured, the most
serious being a luna, who had his fin
ger almost severed by being cut with
shovel. The men were arrested by po-
licemen from Koolau about 9 o'clock
and bailed out next morning by White
house & Wilson.

ASHWORTH AGAIN.
Arrested in Saratoga on the

Arrested in Saratoga ON the
Charge of Liquor Selling.
| At an early hour Wednesday morn
| ing, Marshal Brown, who was accom-
panied by Charles Chillingworth of the
Deputy Marshal's office, caused the ar
rest of Ashworth, the proprietor of
Saratoga, on the charge Of selling
spirituous liquor, without a license.
This is the second time during a week
that Ashworth has been arrested. The
first was on Sunday night when he was
caught with marked money in his pos
session, given him by informers who
were working for him or rather, whose
employment ceased, at the time of his
arrest
Late Tuesday night, Marshal Brown
and Chillingworth went out to SaratO-
ga and kept themselves hidden in the
vicinity of the room where liquor was
being dealt out to number of blue
Jackets They remained in hiding for
quite a little while, when Ashworth
spoke, saying to his customers:
'There's the Marshal out there" The
bluejackets started out with curses, in
pursuit of the Marshal, but they did
not find him. Later on he and Chill
lingworth returned, took different po-
sitions and kept vigilant eye on the
place In the early morning they walk
ed into the place and arrested Ash
worth, releasing him later on his own
recognizance. At the time of arrest,
the bluejackets had departed, and only
sailors were present.
A search was made and the following
dug up from different places: One
basketful of beer bottles, each full of
beer and they corked and sealed; nu-
merous empty beer bottles; one-third
of a bottle of gin; the somewhat tangi-
bel remains of whisky in a bottle, and
that was all.
David KAPPA and his Chinese detec-
tives went out to the place and brought
the captured, empty, partly full and
completely full bottles, to the police
station.
Ashworth has retained Humphreys
& Macdonald and A. G. M. Robertson
as his attorneys. The trial on the first
case is set for today and the second on
next Tuesday.

Statement Corrected.

In regard to the statements of CHIEF
Engineer Little of the Alameda, made
in yesterday mornings paper, Captain
Macaulay, the pilot who brought the
steamer in, offers the following correc-
ton: Alameda reported at 7:45 a. M.
pilot left wharf at $40 and boarded
steamer two miles out at $50, arriving
at the dock, $40" On being inter
viewed, Chief Engineer Little spoke in
an off-hand manner and may have
made a mistake in regard to the exact
time. However, this does not alter the
fact that the Alameda made the fastest
trip to this port from Auckland. The
time on the books is II days and 10
hours.

which Chong Mel Hing belongs. The
other clan got to work then and gave

The cases in the Police Court ycster-

day, to make way for the che ia case,
In which Chong Mel Hing and seven
other leading Chinese merchants of the

and Attorney Henshall for the prosecu-
