nese to Prison.
Following up information given him
by Chinaman, Detective KAPPA went
aboard the steamer Mauna Loa just
previous to her departure yesterday
morning and informed All Kee, the
head steward, that he had a warrant
for the search of his room. All Kee
was perfectly willing and, after search
ing, KAPPA found two tins of opium
under one of the drawers All Kee
was arrested and taken to the police
station. 1t was evident to KAPPA that
a job had been set up on the head
steward but with no idea of a joke
He was according allowed to go back
to work The object was undoubtedly
to cause the arrest and detention of
All Kee for as the detective walked
by the Chinaman who gave him the
information, the latter asked: why
did you not search in the pantry?"
KAPPA told the fellow that even though
opium were to be found the ownership
could be laid at no ones door as a
dozen or more people were in the hab-
it of going in and out of the place at
all times during the day and night.
A Kee is not very we'll liked by
some Of the Chinese aboard the Ma
una Loa Sometime ago, he had his
head cut open by one of the men under
him and, not long ago, caused the dis
missal of another for various reasons.
All Kee believes that a friend of the
latter put the opium in his room.

Let the German Bakery

Point out to you some of the follies of
home baking Where is the profit in
home baking when the house wife has
the labor and annoyance to contend
with and then run chances of having
bad patches. She must do it herself or
hire a cook who understands the bust
ness, besides the expense of the ma
terial used. Do you not think it more
profitable to purchase your pastry
from a good bakery where only expert
enced bakers are employed? We will
put these facts before you for your
digestion for few days and see if you
do not come to the conclusion that it
is cheaper to BUY THAN TO BAKE.

Staggering and lurching about the
old squatter's front yard was thin and
sickly-looking mule; and now and then
the animal would start in to utter a
bray, and stop it in such sudden way
that IL was more like the sound of a
lions attempt to get out a roar. II
was such a queer uncanny sound that

day, and he looked over at the mule for
awhile and then said:
"That was another of Col. Bunker's
IDEAS, and 1t was dead failure. Three
months ago that was one Of the sleekest,
slickest nevis in all the state of Ar
