A FINE DRILL.
Some Fancy Riding By Mounted
Patrolmen.

\ full turnout of the Mounted Patrol
INDUCED in a very spirited drill on the
old baseball grounds in Makiki Satur-
day afternoon in the presence Of Mar
shall Brown, a number of the members
of the House of Representatives, and
others. Although Marshal Brown rode
out in uniform with the mounted off
GERS of the law, ne did not drill them.
This was ably done by Captain Spill
ner, who put them through the regular
evolutions, had them fire volley after
volley and then gave them runaway
brake and horse practice. The most
interesting thing of the afternoon was
the picking off of a native boy from
horse while the animal was on a dead
gallop This was nicely done by the
patrolmen. While Patrolman Davau-
chelle was riding bareback, he fell from
his horse but was very fortunately un-
injured.

They are telling good story against

nut for aught one knows; but IL it ha:
been going the rounds, 4 have not met
1t until the other day. 1t seems Bos-
ton mamma was instructing her little
daughter how to behave when she went
to luncheon at the bishops house.
"Now, dear, when the butler hands you
something the first time, take little
on your plate. When he comes the sec
|pnd time, you may help yourself TO lit
tie more; but, the third time you must
say, No, thank you,' just as you always
do at home" So the little Boston child
went to the bishops house to lunch
and came home much delighted with
her visit. did you do just as I told
you, darling?". inquired mamma anx-
iously. Eyes, did," was the reply. II
took something very nice when it was
handed to me the first time, and then,
when the butler came again, took a
little more, but the third time l said:
No, thank you But when he came the
fourth time, you hadn't told me what to
do, so just thought Of papa, and said:

For NanoIeon,s Sake.

Some people are very fond of telling
a story that has a catch in it, and SO
taking their listeners in. Here is a
sample Of what mean:
Once, when in Paris, Napoleon paid a
visit to a hospital for old soldiers.
Among the inmates was an old mau
who had lost an arm. The Emperor
asked him:
where did you lose your arm?"
cat Austerlitz, SIRE"
''Then, no doubt, you curse the EN-
peror and your country for your fateT'
ION the contrary" said the veteran,
"for the Emperor and my country l
would sacrifice my other arm"
II can hardly believe It," said the Em-
peror.
The soldier Immediately drew saber
from its sheath and Topped off the other
arm.
"a most sublime act Of self sacrifice" I"

Admiral Sampson as an Inventor.
The following story Is told of Ad-

was in the early days Of the new navy
when the incident occurred. The Ad-
miral was at the time lieutenant, and
was in command of small sailing yes
sci. For many years he had worked on
kind of anemometer, or wind gauge.
II was his hobby, and was nearer and
dearer to him than all else in the world.
Finally it was complete, and one day 1t
stood on the roof Of the cabin, that pro-
truded for some distance above the
deck. The little boat was rocking idly
to and fro in calm. Lieut.. Sampson
was below enjoying siesta. Suddenly
a gust OF wind rippled the water; the
mainsail boom swung violently across
the deck. Smash and over into the
fathomless deep went that precious
thermometer.
"Orderly,' called the. officer of the
deck.
"Yes, sir" responded the blue jacket

that his thermometer has gone over

CHINESE BORROWING.
A Peculiar Habit Which Sometimes
Brings Astonishing Results.


Brings Astonishing Results.
Chinese buffers have a way, when
their own supplies fall short, Of bor-
rowing from the neighbors. At least,
this was a very common custom twen-
ty-five years ago, and goods changed
hands, over the garden wall, with as
tonishing celerity, the buffers, mean
time, keeping strict account. An
American lady residing in China writes
thus in the Atlantic:
At the first large dinner party tc
which I was invited-I went as bride
4 found myself eating with my own
brand new knives, forks and spoons.
stared at them very hard; there could
me no mistake, for l could see the
fresh monograms.
1 was dreadfully distressed, but did
not dare to say anything. When I
reached home told my husband, rath-
er tremblingly, for l was quite sure
they had been stolen. To my amaze
ment he only laughed, and said:
"Oh, you will get used to that soon,
and when you have too many guests
you will find that, instead Of asking
you to get more supplies, the butler
will just borrow your neighbors' and
always make up the deficiency"
And so it proved. can well remem-
Der once, when my husband had asked
eight guests in to dinner only half an
hour before the usual time Zone for
each of the delicious spring snipe he
had shot, that there appeared, later,
splendid roast leg of mutton as one
of our courses.
Now knew we had no mutton, for
earlier in the day the cook had been
bewailing the non-arrival of the Shang-
hal steamer, by which it always came.
Turning to the gentleman on my left, l
asked, did your steamer come from
Shanghai to-day"
Eyes; why?"
I looked down to the other end Of the
table, where my husband was carving
the unexpected treasure-trove with
very evident enjoyment.
"Well, ours did not" said /, "and

He caught sight of the mutton. "Oh!'

TREE OF TIBET.
Fabulous Prices Paid For the Leaves
of the Sacred Growth.

of the Sacred Growth.
Few persons probably have heard of
the marvellous tree of Tibet. Neverthe-
less for long time it has enjoyed a
great reputation in the east. 1t is sa-
cred tree, and fabulous prices were paid
for few Of it's leaves.
In his Souvenirs de Voyage au
Tibet" Pero Hue speaks Of this Won
derful tree. 1t is essentially of literary
and artistic turn of mind and has the
strange habit of producing images and
hieroglyphics upon its leaves. Some
times religious figures take the place of
the letters. Pere Hue called the mystic
rious thing ''the tree of a thousand
images. !" These images are found on
the leaves, Oh theestems and OH the
trunk. Near the temple of Buddha, in
the village of Liousar, Tibet, this
great tree has stood for years, the plague
and the puzzle of all the botanists who
have ever received the gift of faith
A great antiquity was given to the
tree indeed it was claimed that it had
existed from time immemorial But an
investigation not many years ago proved
the images on the tree to be fakes. The
trick was simple enough, like every 9th
er trick when it is found out In the
spring and in the summer on dark
nights lama, endowed with acrobatic
power, with his pockets full Of hand
stamps, clilnbed all through the tree
and stamped the leaves with all sorts of
holy images and characters, the most
numerous being the following formula;
"Om name padone om'' (Glory to
Buddha in the lotus) This is also
stamped upon the bark, and the leaves
and portions of the bark are sold to Wis

The Best Seeds Absolutely Necessary.

We cannot too strongly nor too often urge
the supreme Importance of planting seeds that
are perfectly pure and fresh. Seeds that are Of
fered at cheap prices are almost invariably OF
doubtful origin and uncertain age, sure to
cause the planter disappointmenta and loss. The
thoughtful planters only surety lies in buy
ing seeds sent out by a conscientious and trust
worthy house vast mum ber of American gard
confidence in seeds that bear the name, D. M.
Ferry 4 Co. Detroit, Mich. The present genera
tion of planters can hardly remember the time
where each year and as regularly planted by
thousands-with the greatest faith in the un-
varying quality of the seeds and in the integri-
ty OF the firm that grew them. Every planter,
not, should send for Ferry's Seed Annual for
for it.
