BIBLE HIS ONLY WEAPON.
Queer story of HanSe Hatfield, of the
HntiieId-McCOy Band of Outlaws.

Queer story of HanSe Hatfield, of the
Hatheld-McCOy Band of Outlaws.
Mrs. Il. p, Chapman, Of Hartford City,
w. Va, vouches for the truthfulness of
the following story concerning Hanse
Hatfield, one Of the widely-llnown out
laws of the Hatfeld-McCoy gang:
She was in Kanawha county some
time ago instituting Rebekah lodge,
and, on her way home, stopped over
Sunday with the family of merchant
in Charleston. Hanse Hatfield was in
the city at the same time and was the
guest of the merchant, being there on
purchasing tour. On Sunday'evening
Hatfield asked to be shown the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and, on being
informed that there was no service in
that church that evening, accepted the
invitation to go with the merchants
family to the Presbyterian church.
Upon arriving at the church Hatfield
took the merchant to one side and told
him the Hatfields had such bad repu-
triton that he always carried a weapon.
He then proceeded to open hand grip
he was carrying. To the chagrin of the
party he took therefrom an old and
much used Bible, and, holding it up so
those near could see it, said;
"This is the only weapon 1 ever
carry, and to get along we'll and live
close to the feet of Jesus Christ one
must carry it constantly and use it
often" The Bible was all there was in
the grip,

TRADE DEVICES ON WHEELS.

Trunks, Hats and other Things Made
to Servo as the Bodies of Wagons.
Various familiar articles Of trade are
used as models for the bodies of deliv-
cry wagons. OF those the trunk is, per-
haps, the most commonly used, says the
New York Sun. Wagons made with
the body in the semblance of a big
trunk may be seen in many cities, the
delivery wagons Of the dealers in trunks
and kindred articles. Perhaps the next
most familiar is the wagon with the
body In the form of great hat, the de-
livery wagon of halter. Another
form not unfamiliar is that of the great
shoe, made of metal and mounted on
wheels, and used as the delivery wagon
of shoe dealer. Like the great hat the
shoe may be painted or all gilded.
All of these devices have q seat out
side, in front, and they have door at
the rear end. The shoe is mounted on
the running part, with the toe to the
front. The drivers seat is over the tip
of the toe, or In front of 1t. The door
by which parcels are got in and out OF
the wagon is in the heel of the great
shoe at the back.
A wagon used for the delivery of
packages from laundry has a body in
the form of great wash boiler. Per-
haps the latest of these trade devices
on wheels is shown in wagon used for
the delivery of a proprietary article
that is sold in liquid form. In this case
the wagon body is in the shape Of

SHETLAND WOOL.
It lis PIgcked from the Backs of the
Sheep,

IL In PIBclSed from the Backs of the
Sheep,
The chief characteristic Of Shetland
hosiery is the extreme hneness OF the
wool used. This wool, says Chambers
journal, Is obtained from the native
Shetland. sheep, an animal OF decidedly
meager appearance, and which south
ern hockmaster would be inclined to
shave none Of" Nevertheless, this
humble beast, picking up a scanty liv-
ing on the bleak hillsldes where its
larger relatives would stave, produces
wool Of remarkable fneness; and when
1t is mentioned that the natural colors
vary from black and white to an endless
variety of grays, browns, fawns, and
ohestnuts of many shades locally called
"moorit,") 1t will be seen that the Shet-
land people have ready to their hand
raw material of the most suitable kind
for their purpose.
In connection with the fineness Of
the wool, the method Of taking II from
the sheep is worthy of note, 1t is not
clipped or shorn in the usual way; but
at the proper season is literally plucked
from the back of the animal, it being
averred that shearing tends to deterio-
rate the quality Of every succeeding
fleece; and, of course, to keep the yield
OF wool as fine as possible is real desid-
eratum. The plucking referred to
usually appears to strangers to be a
cruel expedient; but in reality the
sheep seems to suffer no more from 1t
than from ordinary shearing.

CIRCUS MANS REooLLec1loNs.

Remembered n Giant Who COMbed
His Hair with a Fence.
"Giants?" said the old circus man,
relates the New York Sun. "Oh, yes,
we've had some big men in the show Mt
one time and another. One of the big.
gest we ever had used to comb his hair
with q section Of n picket fence. That
was q part Of the street show when we
made the parade in town. Usually
we had an arrangement in advance with
the owner of the fence, and had n
panel loosened so that the giant
wouldn't wreck too much of the fence
iR picking up the part he was to use.
When the show came along to this
spot the giant would step up to the
fence, take of his hat and pick up the
piece of fence-it always looked as If
he had tremendous strength too--and
Feise it up and comb his hair with it.
And then he would put the big comb
down again and put on his hat and move
on. This always tickled the people i'm
mensely. And he certainly was o big
man, sure; but we had o bigger man
once. 1 wouldn't dare tell you how
big this other man was, because you
wouldn't believe it."

Being intelligent and dutiful she is

the slender body. The skin is dull,
the eyes lusterless, the cheeks and

THE NANIwA IS TIE CENTER OF
ATTRACTION.
Native Captures Large Shark Tran
sit O flor 'Frisco-The Kenilworth
Relieved of Fifty Tons of Sugar.

1t has been decided that Capt. Free
man, formerly in the Likelilke, will re-
main in the Helene.
The Kilauea Hou arrived from Ha-
wall ports this morning, with 1000
bags of sugar, and II bags of coffee.
The S. C. Allen received sugar this
morning from the Kaena and Kilauea
Hou. She will be ready for sea by
Sunday or Monday.
The schooner Transit sailed for the
Golden Gate at noon, with full cargo
of sugar. She ought to go up in less
than two weeks to sustain her record.
The schooner Norma, which sailed
nearly three months ago on special
voyage to the Tanning Islands for
Davies & Co., is expected back almost
any day.
The Naniwa continues to be the CEN
ter of attraction on the docks. She lies
off the Wilder Steamship Company's
wharf, and gaping crowd of jap
anese can always be found on the pier
inspecting the big fighting machine.
An old native in a little canoe cap
tured a shark that measured fully ten
! feet outside the reef this morning
Just how he managed to kill the big
fish it was impossible to learn, but he
towed the carcass ashore and found a
ready sale for it in the market.
The bark Fortuna is to go in ballast
to the Sound to load lumber for West
australia. Her master, Capt. Mil<kel-
son, is popular man in this port, and
his many friends will be sorry to see
him 90. He came here first as chief
mate of the Tillie f. Starbuck. in
which he sailed for about seven years.
During his stay in port he has spent
much of his leisure time in yachting,
at which he is an expert. He carries
dainty little sloop with him.
The big American ship Susque-
hanna, Capt. Sewall, arrived last night
twenty-siX days from Kobe. She lay
outside last night and was brought in
this morning by the Eleu. Capt. Sewall
reports fine weather and a pleasant
run from the Japan coast He is ac-
companied by his wife and sister. The
Susquehanna is four masted ship of
nearly 5000 tons register. She comes
in ballast, to load sugar for New
York. The Kenilworth brought down
stores for the Susquehanna.
The Kenilworth was ready for sea
this morning. but the underwriters
refused to permit her to go to on the
ground that she was overloaded. 1t
appears that some slight mistake has
been made in her measurement, so
that while She was only down to her
marks, she really had too much cargo.
The Cummins was busy this morning
taking out fifty tons of sugar, which
win go back to the warehouse. The
big ship will still have left in her
about 5000 tons. She will probably
get away for New York tomorrow
morning.

PINE TOP JUSTICE.
A Suit For Marriage Fee and an Un

At recent session of the Pine Top JUS

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

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.
