There is no doubt about their reality.

OF the gentleman who does not feel

pull from certain bottle in the side

his internal arrangements. He gets
quietly out of bed, so as not to disturb
his wife, and swigs about half pint
of pepper-sauce or red ink. Such are
the surprises of real life.
These few words on surprises would
not be complete without mentioning
the sad and heartbreaking story of
relation af Spike Hennessy now So

tion went to considerable trouble to

unpaid laundry bill.

POETRY

No. 2S2, in the Pontiac reformatory,
objects to my josh about convicts who
write poetry being cIassed as habitual
criminals. The reason he objects will
be apparent from the following from
his pen:
THAT'S DEWEY, SCHLEY, SAMPSON SHAFTER
AND HOBSON.
BY No. 2S2.
admiral Dewey, who is hep
'The man that sailed the China sea-
And wiped the Spaniards off the earth.
And showed the world what he is WORTH"
''Oh! is that Dewey?
Yes that's Dewey.
Admiral Schley and Sampson, too
Won great fame what did they dO?"
They made the Spanards fly for Spain,
And wish they'd never saw the Maine.''
so! is that them?'
''IeS that's them.''
Il know Gen'l FitZhugh Lee;
But Gen1 Shafter, who is he?'
'The man who made the Spanish dons,
Cry and hand out all their guns.''
so! is that Shafter?'
Eyes that's Shafter'
"Well there's 'HObsOn, who is he?''
1.-The bravest man that sails the sea-
He done the bravest deed of all
"Then in Spanish hands did fall.'
SO! is that Hobson?"
''Yes that's Hobson''
1t might be objected that Dewey did
not wipe the Spaniards from the earth.
1t was from the sea. No. 2S2 should
have said:
And wiped the Spaniards from the sea
And made them long to climb tree.
Then again:
"And wish they'd never saw the Maine."
That's beaut. Who seen them saw
it, anyhow That rhyme of "dons"
with "guns" is peacharino. Why not
make it the Spanish duns? That's
what they are doing now, you know.
Well, there's Hobson:
"He done the bravest deed of ALL"
No wonder No. 282 is in the reforma-
tory. He ought to reform. This is the
way he should have swung along:
admiral Dewey, who is hep"
"The man who rules the boundless sea-
Who made one wild and fearsome swoop,
And made the Spaniards fly the COOP,
"Oh! is that Dewey?"
"YOubetcherlife.
"Well there's HobsOn, who is hep"
"NO braver man you'll ever see.
He done the bravest deed of all,
When he Miss Arnold's bluff did call,'
"Oh is that Hobson?"
SWELL, should blush to raise
her."

SURPRISES.

and unpleasant, that is, theoretically.
In reality there is only one kind-un.
pleasant. The other kind are found in
romances.
In the books the young, and talented,
but unappreciated artist sits in his gar
ret and sadly contemplates one of his
toes which rougishly peeps forth
through shoe beyond repair, when
suddenly the mail carrier rushes in with
a letter which tells how the unknown
uncle of the artist has died in Austral-
ia and left his savings, amounting to
$2O,OOO,000, unanimously to the artist.
This only happens in books. It never
happened either to me or Sinbad, and
anything that has not happened to one
of us never did happen.
Then again the young man who has
been cruelty rejected by the hardhearted
millionaire father of his darling sweet
heart is just putting the popgun up in
the neighborhood of his ear with the
intention of proving that nature abhors
a vacuum, when the aforesaid darling
sweetheart bursts in through the door.
and lovingly throws her dimpled tenta-
cles around his neck as she gleefully
carols.
Darling, papa has broken his neck"
Now in real life the only thing papa
has broken is probably the button at
the end of Algernon's dorsal vertebra,
which, if extended about foot, would
have been documentary evidence of
his origin.
You have all heard OF the poor labor
ing man who bought an old bureau at
auction for Is cents and found $25,OOO
in greenbacks in secret drawer. That
story is kept regularly on tap to be
used once every six months by the
bearded lady who writes serials for the
Fireside Conniption.
In reality when the hardworking
man buys bureau at auction, he pays
$11.75 for an article which cost 1866
new, and which brings three new breeds
of bedbugs into the house for his hard
working wife to contend with, and the
only real surprise he gets out of the
deal is when the patriarch of the bed
bugs takes his initial mouthful.
Did you ever meet gentleman who
told you that being stranger in the
city and awaiting remittance he would
be obliged for the loan of 25 cents to
eat on, and afterward find out that the
gentleman was an Austrian grandduke
travelling incog. who repaid your loan
with diamond the size of filbert?
l think nit.
But L once met two who gave me
such tale, and 1 gave them an order
on restaurant, where 1 used to eat
my 1O-cent lunches, for a meal. was
surprised the next day that my suspect
ed Austrian granddukes had eaten
$4.65 worth of grub at one sitting.
l was surprised, but settled.
There are pleasant surprises which
person with a vivid imagination-like
me-can cOnjure up. But they are
never put in books, because the fiction
of today has tendency toward the
realistic. Such would be, for instance,
q description of how Johnson returned
your new gold-handled silk umbrella
the very next day after he borrowed it,
according to agreement.

Death Of Major Wilkinson.

The wind and rain came fiercely chasing,
Ger the waters in our wake,
AS the steamers, Chief and Flora,
PlOwed the waters of Leech Lake.
On the brow of our commander,
Index of heart so true,
Were reflected, calmness, courage,
And the will to dare and do.
Thirty-Seven years of service,
For his country he had had;
so he told us now of dangers,
He had passed since but a lad.
Now with hope and expe citation,
We approach the shore, and feel,
First jar and then grinding,
OF the sand along our keel,
In clearing stands lOg-hOuSe,
Home of Bug-ah-mah-ge-shig;
And from group of dusky warriors,
Strides the form of Wah-na-lig,
First to land was our brave Major;
Nothing daunted with him went
Those who ever in the service
OF the press count lives we'll spent,
From the depth of those pine forests,
From the shadows dim and drear,
Came no warning to our soldiers,
OF the danger lurking near.
Behind those pine-trees tall and stately,
Dusky forms with gun and dirk,
Waited breathleSS, for the signal
To begin their bloody work.
First one ShOt-it was mSchance;
Then two others in reply.
Bloody work was now before us;
Twas the time to do or die.
From the forest came vOlley,
Right amongst the boys in blue.
'Steady nOw!" the Major shouted,
''Steady boys, we've work to do"
Volleys came from out the shadows,
Seemed every tree foe to hide;
In that rain of dire destruction,
Fen the humblest, heroes died.
All, but see! the Major trembles;
Speaks commands we scarce can hear.
''He is gone" the soldiers shouted,
AS he staggered to the rear.
Not long were left in doubt and fear
Again his presencs gave us courage,
And his smiling face its cheer.
All. but now his time approaches.
A bullet crashes through his side.
- 'Tis but scratch! Don't waste your pow
der!
GIVE EN- HELL!' he said, and died.
There upon the field they laid him,
Head upon soldiers thigh.
Even so, mid death and danger,
1t was meet that he should die.
Who could wish for fate more glorious,
Or hope for laurels more deserved.
His country mourns for lost soldier.
But loves him for the cause he served.

ON THE PUNAHOU LINKS
HOW THE GOLF FIENDS ARE NOW
PROGRESSING.
The Punahou Club Advancing in Mem
bership-Promises to be One of the
Leading Amusements of the City.

Golf has come to stay i'm Hawaii.
1t is played in other parts of the Is
lands, but it's strongest enthusiasts are
i'm Honolulu. There is a regularly
formed golf club now consisting OF
some thirty members, and their num-
bers increase from week to week. The
golf links at Punahou are in good or
der and some excellent play is now
made there. Every Saturday sees a
merry party using clubs of curious
kinds. and laughter and good humor
prevail.
Withinh short time regular tourna-
ment is to he held and prizes are to be
offered for the championship for la
dies and for gentlemen, and also sim
liar prizes for the best drive for both
sexes. There is much excitement
among the members and the prospects
are that there will be delightful af-
ternoun's amusement upon the Puma
hou links.
The beauty of golf is that il is an
amusement for the very young or for
the old. There are i'm Scotland. i'm the
states and in England old gentlemen
of seventy who remain brilliant play
ers, even though they have lost the
vigor of mature years. 1t gives gentle
exercise, it is fascinating and leads the
player on, and it is a game in which
you depend entirely upon yourself. No
partner can give you assistance. you
are there simply for your own hand
and II you fail it is your own fault OF
your own i'll luck.
The present club feels that il is a
pity that there should not be other
clubs formed so as to give that pleas
ant rivalry which is the lifeblood OF
| good athletics. At the head of the
Punahou Cub is President Dole. J. Gil
man is secretary, and the committee
of management consists of DR.. How
ard, y. c. Lovekin and Mrs Gum. Il
/ may be added that Mrs. Gum, wher
| she was at the coast, took lessons from
one of the best California golf player,
/ and that she is now instructing
number of ladies and gentlemen il
the proper style of play. 1t seems Il.
l if golf had really taken good hold. Il,
and by it may become craze.
