Power OF. Imagination.

A Kansas paper says that young
doctor recently took his best girl to
the theater. The curtain was late
in rising. and the young woman
complained Of feeling faint. The
doctor smiled sweetly upon her,
took hing out of his vest pock-
ct and whispered to her to keep
the tablet" in her mouth, but not
to swallow it She shyly placed it
On her tongue and rolled it over and
over, but it would not dissolve; she
felt better, however. So when the
show was over she slipped tho tab
let in her glove. being curious to
examine at home this tasteless, in
dissoluble little substance which
had given her such relief in the
opera house. When alone in her
room, she pulled off her glove and
out came button

He Got Her Hand.

A doctor who had saved the life Of
lady, O. personal friend, was asked
his charge. He said he generally al
lowed his patient friends to remu-
nerate him as they thought befitting.
"But don't you often get disap-
pointed on these terms2" she in
quired.
II may say never
"As yon are sc easily pleased,
here" And she playfully gave him
her empty hand, while in the other
was concealed check for hand
some sum. "How easily could have
taken you inl" she added, producing
the check.
''But you have only succeeded in
drawing mo out" he said, declining
to relinquish her hand. Don't in
suit me with q check. am most
generously rewarded"
Perhaps che understood the doc
tors difficulty and wished to help
him out Of it. At any rate, the Civ
ing Of her hand led him to offer his
heart.-Pearson's Weekly.

Tasleton and Queen hess.

IN St7 i;;.; .iivIo is an u1ticie
on The Court testers of England"
by Amelia Wof1ord. The author
says:
Queen Elizabeth inherited much
of her fathers disposition. Sho was
gay, fond of laughter and wit, ana,
like him, she surrounded herself
with testers. Tarleton was "thc
bright, particular star of the mum
ber; Pace. Clod and Chester were
the lesser lights.
Tarleton was native of Shrop-
shire, and ono day while tending
his fathers swine was met by an
officer of the Earl of Leicester. Tho
officer talked with him and was SO
much pleased with his "happy un-
happy answers" that he took him
into his masters service, and from
tho Earl of Leicester's household ho
passed into the queens court.
Elizabeth was very fond and
inaulgent mistress. She not on
ly had him attend her at dinner,
but when she dined abroad she took
him to mako sure Of good entertain
mcnt, and "her highest favorites
would Ill somo cases go to Tarleton
before they would go to the queen,
and ho was their usher to prepare
their advantageous access to her.
In word, he told the queen moro
of her faults than most of her chap
lains and cured her melancholy bet
ter than all her physicians.
Besides being jester Tarleton
was also player to the queen, to
which Office he was appointed in
1888. He had great fame as an actor
and appeared principally in rhym-
ing compositions and jigs composed
by himself, which he danced and
sung. We would call him IL concdi-
an. 1t is said that his fun lay moro
i'll the telling than in the words, and
that his mere appearance OH tho
stage with his squint would send the
people into shouts of laughter

Birds That Have No ,yinrs.

When one is child and sees Il
bird, tho usual thing told him is,
"Get Il little salt and put it on tho
tail Of the bird, and you can catch
him. y OF course tho child and tho
others look at each other and think
it huge joke. Although this may

Laysan island, situated as it is
longitude III degrees west, latitude
25 degrees and ~ minutes north-is
low, long island, 2 miles by 2l& III

feet above the sea. On first approach
one sees large flocks of birds, which
make black streak in the air, above

west side. The island itself is only
n large bank Of sand, with a lagoon
in the center. This is some three
miles in circumference. There are
ten buildings upon it, including a
lighthouse. There is also railrond
a mile and a quarter long, which is
used for carrying guano to the ware

Among the many things of inter

first, the birds, of which there are
millions. Among the sea birds found
there are tho goonie (white and

small, light and empty. From the
bow a rope dropped into the water,
now hanging loose as an eddy swept
the boat backward, now pulling taut
from an invisible anchor. McDougal
caught the anchor rope and pulled it
gently and steadily toward him. He
felt strong resistance, then heavy
weight rising with his effort. He
dared not think what it might be,
and yet when a woman's hand ap-
peared beneath his own he did not
start, except to clasp in his the poor
dead fingers. Oyer the bont's side
he leaned and drew her to him until
her fair head rose above the surface
and her loose hair fioated out. Then,
as he bent his face close over hers,
he seemed to see again the barren
mesa, the dull background of the
evening sky, Desmond's approach
ing figure and the woman of his
vision and to breathe the heavy odor
of dying water lilies and of reedy
shores. The waters parted as he
took his burden from their bosom to
his own, and in the cleft he seemed
to see Desmond'a blue IS es smiling
up to his.
He laid her gently down and took
up the oars again. AS he left tho
charmed circle around the pool he
cast one more glance upward to the
kindly light above, but into his face
had come look that n man, unless
indeed, he had n babe's conscience,
might fear to encounter.
Two days later, as he stepped
upon the gangplank of the outgoing

around, and McDougal wac left to

New Business Factor.

Colonel Will E. Fisher, who for
years was a leading real estate opera
tor and broker and auctioneer at San
Francisco, has embarked in business
here, with an Office at the corner of
Fort and Merchant The colonel is a
man of wide and successful expert
ence in his lines. For about a quarter
of a century he was in business in San
Francisco. After going into the Klon-
dixie, he came down here to get thawed
out and liking the place, meeting many
old friends and observing opportunity
for business, he has located. The col
onel has taken out licenses as an auc-
tioneer and broker, and as intimated,
is we'll acquainted in these fields. He
knows big men all over the United
States and is likely to bring some cap
ital from abroad to Hawaii. For a time
at Skaguay, the colonel, probably just
when he was reported to have lost
both legs by freezing, was doing an
auction business that was never equal
led in any other country.

SHIP IS RAISED
Hull of the Barring Broth
ers Up From Bottom.
Burned and Went Down at Kobe
Faithful Work Of the WreCking
Peopie-The Methods.

News has been received from Kobe
of the successful raising of the Amer
| lean ship Barring Brothers, nearly de-
stroyed by fire in the harbor on the
night of August 2. Captain Nickel, the
purchaser Of the hull, did the work.
But not till after considerable time, pa
thence and money had been spent on
| the job. The work occupied several
weeks, as the two first attempts at
| floating her were distinct failures. The
first attempt TO raise her was by
means of barges dashed alongside of
the hull. This, however, proved fail
ure, and SO did the second attempt,
though from another cause, for just as
this attempt was being made a gale
sprang up which carried away all the
upper work that had been erected at
much trouble and expense. On the
third and last occasion it was found
necessary to start the planking some
what lower down the sides, as expert
ence had shown that a far greater por-
ton of the sides were charred than
was at first supposed to be the case.
This difficult job was, however, event
ually completed; then two powerful
steam pumps set to work in such real
good earnest that the ship was again
fioated and now lies peacefully at an
Choir off the beach at Ono.
The cost of the wrecking operations
must have been considerable, but it is
expected that Captain Nickel will more
than recover his outlay, for it is esti-
mated that there are some 400 bales of
rags still remaining though slightly
damaged. Besides the rags there is
said to be more than $50 tons OF man
ganese ore, which is by far most valu
able portion of the recovered property.

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SWESRED

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
